TIIE COLONIES.

We have just received Quebec Papers to the
9th ult. The following are the chief contents :
liivasT,oti, (17. C.) Au G. 23.—We understand that the
harvests have generally been completed, and that they are un-
commonly good and abundant throughout the Province.
Au°. 27.—The Hon. Sir Francis N. Burton, Lieutenant.
Governor of Lower Canada, arrived here in the steam-boat
Charlotte on Saturday last; and yesterday morning the Hon.
Stratford Canning. His Britannic Majesty's Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the United States of America arrived in the Fron-
tenac from York. On the arrival of each of the above dis-
tinguished personages a salute of 17 guns was fired. Mr. Can-
ning embarked in a Canadian Batteau for Montreal this
morning.
BRO c xv it LE, AUG. 27.—The steam-boat Dalhousie arrived
here to-day from Prescott, being the first trip she has performed.
—She will pass three times a-week from Prescott to Kingston.
The following Resolutions were passed at Cornwall on the
9th August, by a respectable meeting—the Hon. Neil M'Lean
in the Chair :

Resolved—That it appears if, if the boundary-line, as lately
published, be carried into effect, there will be no water-commu-
nication with Lower Canada, as the line will come within a few
yards of the Canadian shore, including no part of the navigable
channel of the river.

Resolved—That should the Lower Long Sault, and Barn-
hart's Island be given up, it will in effect be surrendering all
right to the free navigation of the St. Lawrence.
Resolved—That a memorial be presented to the Governor-
General, praying his immediate interference with his Majesty's
Government, to prevent the ratification of the agreement en-
tered into by the Commissioners.

QUEBEC, SEPT. 2.—As some doubts have been expressed
of the accuracy of the statement relating to the population of
Lower Canada published some time ago in the Gazette, we can
state upon a second reference to the documents on that subject
the number of 400,000 souls is somewhat greater than the
actual population of the Province in 1821.

MONTREAL, SEPT. 4.—The Right Hon. Stratford Can-
ning, Minister Plenipotentiary from Great Britain to the United
States, arrived in this city early on Saturday morning. His
Excellency departed by the steam-boat New Swiftsure, yester-
day morning for Sorel and Quebec, on a visit to the Earl of
Dalhousie.

Died on the 31st ult., at William Henry, W. Henry Chris-
topher Carter, Esq., aged 83, many years a Magistrate for the
district of Montreal and Three Rivers, and nearly half a cen-
tury in the Hospital Staff.

Provincial Secretary's OffiFe, Quebec, Sept. 5, 1822.
His Excellency the Governor in Chief has been pleased to
make the following appointments, viz.:—
Joseph Bouche K. De Labroquerie, Gentleman, a Notary
Public for the Province of Lower Canada.

Amable Casaubon dit Dostaler, Gentleman, a Surveyor o.
Lands for the Province of Lower Canada.

Come Seraphin Cherrier, Esq. to practice the Law in all his
Majesty's Courts of Justice in this Province.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

Letters have this morning been received from
Frankfort, dated so late as on the 12th current, the contents of
which are very satisfactory. The Austrian Metallic Fives had
advanced thereto 86, in consequence of advices having been re-
ceived, that at the first meeting of the Holy Alliance, after the
arrival of the Duke of Wellington, every thought of interfering
with the internal policy of Spain had been abandoned. The
Sovereigns will consequently have very little to do at Verona,
—ltaly and Greece being the only quarters wherein at present
their views of aggrandizement have any chance of success. The
former is, however, already under the military occupation of
Austria, and the Greeks having expelled the Turks from a con-
siderable portion of their territory, the subject remaining for dis-
cussion appears to be, whether that finest portion of Europe is to
be governed in future by its Christian inhabitants, or whether it,
like Poland, is to he divided among its more powerful neighbours.
—The Frankfort letters state, that the views of the IfolY Allied
Sovereigns are in every respect pacific, and hence has arisen
the idea, that liberty and prosperity will be the natural conse-
quence to mankind, of the total failure of the attempt to main-
tain legitimacy at the expence of general improvement. The
Turks, by their late edict against the use of every description
of the superior qualities of British manufactures, will soon
lose the friendship of those few British merchants, to whose
interference they are indebted for the very small portion of
public good opinion which they at present enjoy; and it will
soon be universally admitted, that an empire of freemen in
the Levant will add a strong and beneficent link to the
chain of European society. A civilized nation of Chris-
tians in that beautiful portion of the earth, must become
the natural allies of Englihmen, and the advantage of an ex-
change of commodities, necessary to the comfort and luxury of
each, will soon be felt. The native land of science and of the
arts may again take its just station amongst the nations of the
earth, and to England future historian may perhaps attribute
the restoration of Grecian grandeur. There is not one friend
to the happiness of mankind, who will not hail the approach of
a period which is to exchange barbarism for civilization, rob-
bery for the security of property, and true religion for Turkish
pride and fatalism.

The British Funds continue to improve in value, and their
general appearance indicates a farther advance. Consols for the
November account opened at 821 5, and a good deal of business
was done, the price varying betwixt that and 825 4, at which the
market closed. One defaulter was declared, but the loss is not
very great, though hii operations have latterly been rather ex-
tensive. In Foreign Securities; the same bustle continues to
exist, and, notwithstanding the great fluctuations which have
latterly taken place in them, no lame duck has yet been publicly
proclaimed. In the Spanish, as usual, the operations are the
most numerous, although the prices both of the New and Old
Bonds are rather lower. There is a heavy account to settle at
the end of the month, which causes great caution amongst the
speculators. The new Russian and Prussian Loans likewise
find numerous purchasers ; and some transactions have been
done in the Peruvian Loan, of which the Scrip was this day
issued.

SOLE'M QUIS DIOERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1822.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday,
and Frankfort Papers to the 11th, the chief con-
tents of which will be found in our preceding
columns.

The Constitutionnel, in giving an account of the
arrest of Mr. BOWRING, furnishes no new parti-
cular, if we except its whimsical remark, that
" the detention of Mr. BOWRING is so much the
more rigorous, as it is said he suffers very vio-
lently from the tooth-ache !"

Intelligence from Trieste to the 30th Septem-
ber, confirms the previous account of the brilliant
naval victory obtained by the Greeks between
Negropon and Andros. On land, the miser-
able wreck of the Turkish army which pene-
trated into the Morea had surrendered at Co.
rinth. The Greeks, therefore, having so ra-
pidly freed the Morea from the presence of
an enemy, would be able to march all their
forces into Thessaly, and to recommence of-
fensive operations with great advantage. In
another part of our Paper, we have inserted an
eloquent appeal to the people of England, on
behalf of Greece, by a young Grecian, to which
we beg leave to refer our Readers ; and we
heartily unite with 6C JUNEX" in his call upon
the British Public, for its beneficent aid to the
glorious struggles of a brave nation for their
independence.
No engagement of importance has as yet been
fought in Spain ; but from the recent military
operations, the news of a decisive action may be
expected in a few days.

Neapolitan Five per Cents 80;4 t.

In our front page we have inserted the Report
made to the Spanish Extraordinary Cortes by
the Secretary at War.—This is an important and
interesting document, and gives a condensed view
of the state of Spain,as respects the dangers with
which she has to contend, and her means of re-
sisting and recovering them. Great efforts and
great sacrifices are avowedly required from the
nation ; but the necessity which demands them is
frankly admitted and circumstantially explained.
Amongst the military measures recommended, is
the increase of the army from 52 thousand to
a hundred thousand men. We shall not attempt
to give an abstract of the Report; but recom-
mend it to the attentive examination of our
Readers.

We yesterday had the pleasure of announcing
I the arrival at Yarmouth on the l 6th inst. of Cap-
,
tain FRANKLIN, Dr. RICHARDSON, and Lieut.
BACK, gentlemen employed on the Land Expe-
dition' into the Arctic Regions, and we are
favoured with the following particulars from an
authentic source :

" Captain FRANKLIN has succeeded in sur-
veying the northern coast of North America,
from the mouth of Copper-mine River, for
more than 500 miles to the eastward. He
found the mouth of that river in lat. 67 deg. 48
min., which is 4 degrees less than what HEARNE
made it; and no point of the coast to the east-
ward exceeded 68 deg. 20 one place it

came down to 66 deg. 30 min. to the Arctic
Circle. The sea was studded with innumerable
islands, between which and the mainland was an
open channel of water 4 or 5 miles wide, and
from 10 to 40 fathoms deep,—no ice whatever
but some small masses here and there adhering
to some rock or promontory ; all of which is
highly favourable to the success of Capt. PARRY,
who, however, could not have arrived on the part

of the coast to which Captain FaANOII4 Cr°.
ceeded, until the latter had left it on his retarill:
which was on the 95th of August, and at "'hi %
early period the winter set in, and contiattell

The stubbornness of the keelmen, who still

s °I wages they have subjected themselves to,

the great prejudice of their families), has
Irawo from the Coal-owners of the Tyne. a so-
