EXTRACT OF A DESPATCH PROM THP. Harm OF GOSFORD TO LORD
GLENELG, DATED CASTLE ST. LEWIS, MARCH 8, 1837.
A feeling of dissatisfaction with the Assembly, in regard to
its proceedings in the last short sessien, is spreading, but not
tone to such an extent as to induce me to suppose that a dis-
solution at this moment would be desirable ; but if an appeal
/las now made to the people, I am sure what is termed the
majority in the Assembly would experience a diminution in
hir ranks ; but, under existing circumstances, I see no posi-
,ive substantial good to result from a dissolution. Recourse
might be had to such a measure, when you hsve determined
on the line you mean to adopt for relieving the province from
.ts present state of embarrassment. Coercion, abruptly
adopted, might prove fatal, and such a step is, therefore, to
be deprecated, nor can it be justified, except as a deriaier re-
sort after all attempts of a constitutional character shall have
failed ; but liberality, I am sure, will not be lost sight of by
the present Government in any course that may be taken, and
whatever is arranged should, I think, be in its character, as
far as circumstances will admit, conditional, and made to ap-
pear as an act of necessity, resorted to only to ward off the
evils with which the country is oppressed and threatened.

COPT OP A DESPATCH FROM LOAD OLENSLG TO THE EARL OF

GOSPORD, DATED DOWNING-STREET, APRIL 29, 1837.
My Lord--I have the honour to inform you that the reso-
lutions on the affairs of Lower Canada, a copy of which was
transmitted to you in my despatch of the 11th ult., have all
been affirmed by the House of Commons, after a very full dis-
cussion, and in those instances in which divisions took place
by large majorities. I enclose for your Lordship's informa-
tion extracts from the votes and proceedings of the House,
containing a statement of the several divisions which have
taken place on this subject since I last addressed you. The
introduction of the Bill to be founded on these resolutions
must be postponed until after the opinion of the House of
Lords shall have been taken on them ; but I have every rea-
son to anticipate that it will be submitted to Parliament with-
in a very short period. So soon as the resolutions shall have
been 'disposed of by the House of Lords I shall address to
your *Lordship full instructions on the steps which should b•
adopted under existing circumstances, especially with refe-
rence to the composition of both the Legislative and Execu-
tive Councils.

EXTRACT OF • DISPATCH PROM LORD OLENILO TO TH EARL

OF GOSFOED, DATED DOWNING-STREET, APRIL 29, 1837. ln declining to act at once on the recommendations which
you submitted in the course of last year for an extensive altera-
tion in the composition of the two Councils, I trust I need not
assure you that nothing was further from my intention than to
imply the slightest disapprobation of the course which you had
taken in transmitting to me those recommendations ; on the
contrary, I received them as an additional proof of the earnest
desire which you have always evinced to leave no constitutional
means untried to effect an adjustment of the unhappy differences
which have so long agitated and distracted the province. The
sole ground of my postponing at that time a decision on
those recommendations was, that his Majesty's Government
were convinced that it was indispensable to consider the whole
of the main questions in dispute at one and the same time,
after they should have received from the Commissioners a full
and final Report on the topics which had been referred to
them. That time has now arrived, and you will have already
been informed that it is our intention to advise his Majesty
to make an addition to the Legislative Council, by a careful
selection of men of property, character, and influence, in the
province, of liberal views, and entitled to the respect and
confidence of the public ; but not committed to the extreme
opinions to which I am willing to hope, from your recent in-
formation, many who have hitherto countenanced them are
not disposed pertinaciously to adhere. We are also fully
prepared to sanction a re-construetion of the Executive
Council. I need not here repeat the regret and reluctance
with which the Government have felt themselves bound to pro-
pose to Parliament the adoption of a course which they would
gladly have avoided had any less objectionable means
beon within their reach of satisfying those claims, the urgency
of which has been so forcibly and repeatedly pressed on us
by the commissioners. In yielding to the necessity thus im-
posed
on us we have not been insensible to the obligation
which we fully admit of conceding to the Assembly what.
ever in their demands was not inconsistent with the integrity
of the empire and the good faith of the British Parliament.
In the policy to be hereafter pursued I trust that the errors
of past times will be avoided, and that his Majesty's subjects
of all classes in Lower Canada will recognize an earnest de-
sire on the part of the Imperial Government toy-emote, by ,
a just, libsgstl, and impastial Administration of public
affair=, the welfare and prosperity of the province, and to
meet the deliberate wishes of the inhabitants to the fullest
extefft'Which is compatible with their relation to this country.
In the present unhappy state of feeling between contending
parties, I need scarcely observe that great caution and cir-
cumspection must be requisite, in order to avoid the risk of
widening existin: differences and increasing heats and
jealousies, which I am well aware it is your constant aim to
mitigate and allay. lam fully alive to the responsibility
which rests on you, and to the difficulties which must present
themselves at so critical a moment, especially in the selection
of individuals for offices of trust and confidence, but I am
happy in being able to rely on the judgment and discretion
which you have hitherto evinced.

COPY OF A DESPATCH FROM LORD CILENBLO TO THE EARL OF
GOSFORD, DATED DOWNING-STREET, MAY 92, 1837.
My Lord—l have the honour to inform you that the resolu-
tions on the affairs of Lower Canada, which you are already
aware had been adopted by the House of Commons, having
been subsequently communicated at a conference to the House
of Peers, have been assented to by their Lordships without a
division. In pursuance of those resolutions, it is the intention
of his Majesty's Government immediately to introduce into
Parliament a Bill, which, in addition to the authority with
which it is proposed to invest the Governor to discharge the
arrears due for the various public services in the colony, will
embrace such of the other topics comprised in the resolutions
as require a legislative sanction. In the meantime, and until
you receive the direct sanction of an Act of Parliament, you
will not consider yourself at liberty to depart from the ordi-
nary course to bo observed in the appropriation of any portion
of the public revenue, which has hitherto been subject to the
control of the Provincial Legislature. The opinion, indeed,
which has already been so clearly expressed by both Houses of
the Imperial Parliament, as to the necessity of investing you
with this authority, leaves no room for doubt as to the result of
the proposal of the requisite enactment for this purpose ; but
his Majesty's Government are still willing to hope that the
exercise of the power to be intrusted to you may not be ren-
dered unnecessary by the intervention of the Provincial Legis-
lature. To avoid the necessity of violating one of the great
principles of the Canadian Constitution we have been willing
o make every sacrifice excepting that of the honour of the
Crown and th© integrity of the empire ; and even now we are
anxious that the experiment should be tried whether yet a pos-
sibility remains of reconciling the assertion of those permanent
interests with the maintenance of the principles of the Parlia-
mentary Charter of 1791. The interval which must elapse before
the proposed Bill can have passed both Houses of Parliament and
have been transmitted to your Lordship, affords an opportunity, of
which his Majesty's Government arc happy to avail them-
selves of inviting the House of Assembly to reconsider the
course by which they have attempted to enforce their do
mands, after they shall have been made acquainted with the
deliberate opinion of both Houses of Parliament on the several
points at issue. The King would not authorise your Lord-
ship to submit to the Assembly any proposal derogatory from
the high estimation which justly attaches to the representatives
of the Canadian people; but his Majesty is assured that no
real dishonour or well-founded reproach would be incurred by
the House if that which has been refused to the Executive
Government, acting alone, and unsupported by the British
Parliament, should be conceded to the united voice of the Im-
perial Legislature.
In this hope, and resolved to omit no possible effort for re-
conciling these differences, his Majesty commands me to in-
struct your Lordship on the receipt of this despatch to con-
vene the Provincial Legislature for the earliest day at which it
can be conveniently called together. It is, indeed, possible that
circumstances with which I am unacquainted, but of which
your Lordship will be in possession, may render a strict ad-
herence to this injunction inexpedient. In that case a
0
dis-
cretion will, of course, remain with you as to the precise
period for which the Legislature should be summoned. Any
delay, however, not imperatively demanded by the force of
such circumstances appears to me undesirable.
You will communicate to them, on their meeting, the pro-
ceedings which have taken place in Parliament, an the re-
solutions which have been adopted on the affairs of Lower
Canada ; you will express to them the deep regret and reluc-
tance with which his Majesty's Government have yielded to
the necessity of invoking the interference of Parliament in
order to meet the pressing difficulties which other resources
had failed to remove in the administration of the affairs of the
province. You will further express to the House of Assembly
the anxious hope that you may not bo compelled to exercise
the extreme power with which Parliament has declared its
intention of investing you, in order to discharge the arrears
due for public services in the colony, for the payment of
which the faith of the Crown has been repeatedly pledged.
You will inform them that the chief object with which they
are called together at present is, that before tho Bill founded
on the resolutions shall reach Lower Canada, they may
have s opportunity of rendering that part of it which rests on
the Bth resolution unnecessary and inoperative, by a grant of
the supplies requisite for the purposes for which it is intended
to provide. You will further express to them the earnest desire
of his Majesty's Government to co-operate with them in the
emoval of every obstacle to the beneficial working of the
existing Constitution, and in the correction of every defect
