In another part of our Paper will he found an ab-
stract of the Revenue, up to the sth of the present
month. It presents nothing that calls for particular
observation. On the year there is a decrease of
1,900,000/., while the quarter shows an increase of
213,7.73/. This increase is principally in the Cus-
toms, in which department, as compared with the cor-
responding quarter of last year, there is an improve-
ment amounting to 453,340/. There is, however, on
the same comparison, a falling off in the Excise of
212,900/. The Post-office exhibis an increase on
the quarter of 27,000/. Under the heads Stamps and
Taxes, thcre is a decrease, respectively, of 29,1291.
and 15,632/.

We have seen the first Number of a publication
conducted br Mr. ROEBUCK, and published by
CHARLES Fox, entitled the " Canadian Portfolio,"
purporting to contain " A faithful exposition of the
causes that have produced the civil war in Canada,
together with the various official documents necessary
to elucidate acd support the history of this disgrace-
ful centest"—a pledge which-e•if fulfilled, will entitle
the learned Editor to the gratitude of all impartial
persons, he their principles Whig, Tory, or Radical.
But we must confess that the specimen submitted to
us is calculated to make us pause, before we give un-
limited credit to the allegations of Mr. ROERUCK and
his Canadian coadjutors. We will select an extract
or two from the pages before us, with a vie.v to satisfy
our readers that we are not disposed to cavil with
Mr. ROEBUCK on slight grounds ; and that the mis-
takes into which he has fallen at the outset are not of
a venial or a verbal nature. They are misrepresen-
tations of well-known facts—of facts of which that
gentleman, as a late Member of the Imperial Parlia-
ment and as a lawyer, ough(to be perfectly cognizant.
The Learned Gentleman in the " Canadian Portfolio"
(page 3), referring by way of illustration and contrast
to the first American Warof 1776, says :—" The Ame-
ricans revolted. Just consider their situation. They were
three millions it is true—and the two Canadas contain
only one ; but on the other hand, what was then the
state of the American Continent? These three mil-
lions had to brave the greatest power then existing upon
earth. In America there was no aid—a large English
army was already there, and the means of corrupting
the leaders of the people were numerous and potent.
Now Canada, who then held firm to us through all
the disasters of that humiliating war, who resisted all
the temptations held out to her by the Congress of
Philadelphia—now Canada looks to that same country
for assistance. And mark my words, fellow country-
men, assistance will be given—not by the Government,
but by the sympathising citizens ; and the Govern-
ment r2n put reo stop to such aid. The Congress, if
it desired, dares not piss a Foreign Enlistment Bill;
there i$ no hut, by which the Government can interfere
with the proceedings of the citizens in this matter;
already rifles have been sent to Canada ; men who
can handletho'se rifles with deadly dexterity will fol-
low. Our Government may complain, and call upon
Mr. VAN BUREN, the PRESIDENT of the United
States to interfere. Ilis answer, given with all pos-
sible courtesey, will be—l cannot ; I have no power."
Thus smith Mr. ROEBUCK. Now mark the answer
of Mr. VAN BUREN to the complaint here pre-
sumed to be made, and which actually has been
made by our Government, to the PRESIDENT
of the United. States. It is in the form of a
circular, and has been addressed, with extracts fro
an Act of Congress, passed April 20,1818,—an Act
to all inteuta and purposes the same as the British
Foreign Eellstment Bill—to the Members of the Exe-
cutive Government throughout the North American
Federal Uniox. The answer of the PRESIDENT is
by ,no means of a negative character, and complains
not of a lack of power :—" It is the fixed determina-
tion of the PRE3IDENT faithfully to discharge, so far
as his power extends, all the obligations of this Go-
vernment ; and that obligation especially, which re-
quires that we shall abitain, under every temptation,
from intermealling with the domestic disputes of other
nations., You are, therefore, earnestly enjoined to
be attentive to ail movements of a hostile character,
contemplated or attempted, within your district, and
to pro.eecrtte, without discrimination, all violators of
those laws of the United States, which have been en-
acted to preserve with Foreign Powers, and to fir fl
the obligation: of our treaties with them." The fol-
lowing two sections from the Act above quoted and
referred to by the PRESIDENT, accompanies this cir-
cular If any person shall, within the territory or
jurisdiction of the United States, enlist or enter himself,
or go beyond the limits or jurisdiction of the United
States, with intent to be enlisted or entered in the service
of any Fo-eign Powar, Slate, Colony, District or Peo-
ple, as a soldier, or as a marine, or seaman, &c. every
person so offending, shall be deemed guilty of a high mis-
de inea nor,and shall &lined not exceeding one thousand
dollars, erred be imprisoned not exceeding three years."
And the next section goes on to enact that :—" If any
person shall within the territory or jurisdiction or the
United States, begin, or set on foot, or provide, or
prePare the means for any military expedition or en-
terprise, to be carried on from thence, against the ter-

r:tory or dominions of anti• Foreign Prince .or State,
or any Colony., District, or People, with whom the,
United States are at peace, every person so offendinr,
shall he deemed
,guilty of a high misdemeanor•, and
shall be fined not exceeding three thousand dollars,
and imprisoned not exceeding three years."
What say our Radicll friends to this exposition
of the little reliance that can he placed on the
statements of their great Canadian oracle Mr.
lloEßucK ? Here is an exposure of two gross
errors in a sinf_Tle passage of his pamphlet,
—the one of ignorance of the law of the United
States—the other of misconception of the sentiments
of the executive in relation to the operation of that
law. This in such a matter is no trifle. It proves
that Mr. ROEBUCK is VerV far from being an infallible
authority even upon subjects, with which it has been
his interest to be familiar as with the locality of West-
tninster Hall.

We intended to have made another extract contain-
ing a statement as incorrect as the one which we have
just refuted, but we find that the crowded state of our co-
lumns must prevent us to-day from an extended reference
toMr.RoEritxx's fanciful exaggerations. Nevertheless,
his pamphlet is deserving of extensive circulation; and we
trust he will not want encouragement to continue it so
long as disaffection exists in the Canadian provinces.
We regard it as the official Gazette of the PAPINEAu
party—as a journal in which we will be sure to find
the real views of that party, however erroneous in
themselves, literally and faithfully delineated. Mr.
ROEBUCK may, if he chooses, disclaim the imputa-
tion of
.being a part;zan—he may proclaim his labours
in defence of the claims of the Canadians the result of
unbiaed sober r flection ; but the Learned Gentleman
having once ostensibly appeared in the character of an
advocate, in an Assembly which recognises not in its
Members the assumption of such a relation with the
objects of Imperial legislation, need not be surprised to
find such a disclaimer very little attended to by the
more reflecting among his countrymen.
These observations may appear severe—may seem
dictated by a spirit of hostility to Mr. ROEBUCK.
They are no such thing. Our object is fairly to state
the question—equitably to adjust the balance between
the Government and the Canadians. That the colo-
nists have been and are aggrieved, and that the griev-
ances complained of by them were and are of such a
nature as to call forth a spirit of disaffection towards
the Government, no journal in Great Britain has been
more forward to proclaim than The Sun. Mr. ROE-
BUCK himself knows this to be true ; and such as are
not equally well informed have only to refer to our file
for the last seven years. But we never have, and
never can admit, that the Canadians suffered under
any grievances which could justify them in plunging
their country in all the horrors of civil war. It is one
thing to insist that the wrongs complained of by the
House of Assembly ought to be redressed, and another
to sanction the unsheathing of the sword, as a remedy,
in the event of an insant non-compliance. The sword
is a bloody Reformer at the best, and should never be
appealed to but in the very last extremity.

The conduct of the Catholic Clergy in Lower Ca-
nada merits the highest praise. It is in unison with
the spirit of peace inculcated by their religion, and
with that loyalty which the ministers of the Catholic
faith have, perhaps, more than those of anv other
persuasion, carried to excess. The address of the
Bishop of MONTREAL, and the dispatch of Colonel
GORE to Sir JOHN COLBORNE, bear ample testi-
mony to the exertions of the priesthood, and to their
beneficial effects on the minds of the deluded pea-
santry. Ought facts pregnant with such lessons
of wisdom to be disregarded in legislating for
a country nearer home, and of infinitely more im-
portance than Canada to the security, the peace, and
the happiness of the people of this island ? The religion
of the French settlers was respected on their submis-
sion to British dominion, provision was made for their
clergy by a Protestant Legislature, and their clergy.
are now the most active and, probably, the most effi-
cient instruments in bringing back the people to a
sense of duty. In Ireland, till within these few years,
the people were persecuted for their religion—
they are still debarred some of the most important
rights of civilized beings—their priests were hunted
like wild beasts, and subjected to every cruelty that the
most merciless of all bigotry, religious bigotry, could
invent—they are still treated as aliens, and while there
are ample means to provide, as in Canada, for the
maintenance of both Protestant and Catholic clergy,
they are forced to wring from their poor and
half-starved flock a scanty subsistence. What is
the consequence ? In every insurrection the clergy
take part with the people ; in ordinary tunes they
never act in unison, even with a beneficent Ge-
vernment, but from the hope of ultimate redress ; and
when they assert the claims of their fellow-citizens to
equal laws and even-handed justice they are branded as
" surpliced ruffians," and held up to Protestants as the
enemies of England, and the instigators of every mis-
chief. The peaceable conduct ,of the Canadian
clergy shows that the discontent which prevails
among that ill-used class in Ireland, does not arise
from the genius of their religion. Treat them with
justice, and they will act like their brethren across the
Atlantic. They are forced by cruel treatment alone
to forget the first principles which it inculcates,
and the only results are the spread of Catholicism, an
annual expense of millions for the maintenance
of troops, and a feverish state of society which
threatens to separate time two countries on every
dangerous emergency. Mr. PITT, at the Union, saw
the justice and expediency of making provision for
the Catholic clergy. Mr. O'CONNELL, but two years
ago, advocated a similar plan, and desisted only on
account of some groundless scruples urged by a few
of the clergy; but the Government ought not to be
deterred, either by the honest scruples of Catholics,
or the bigotry of a few Protestants, from doing an act
of justice which is essential to the peace of Ireland.

We have received the Report of the London Provi-
sional Committee for promoting steam navigation with
India. It contains a -brief and interesting detail of the
proceedings which [lave led to the establishment of a
monthly communication by steam between Falmouth
and Bombay, via Suez and the Red Sea ; and bears
ample testimony to the meritotious exertions of Major
HEAD, the originator of the Indian Steam Company
and Chairman of the Committee, and the gentlemen
associated with him, in bringing about a result of so
much importance, not merely to our fellow-subjects in
India, hut to the empire at large.
Our readers may perhaps remember that a Select
Committee of the House of Commons was appointed
in 1834 to enquire into the means of promoting steam
communication with India. This Committee reported
that such communication,
,regular and expeditious.
was an object of the first importance ; and recom-
mended that it should be carried into effect without
delay, and at the joint expense of the Government and
the East India Company. How much attention was
paid to this recommendation may be seen from the fol-
lowing passage of the Report before us;,
The Comm' ttee would pretnisn, that when the proposed
Coinpany was first projected by their Cheirman, Major C. F.
Head, in the month of March, 1836, notwithstanding the re-
soluti,m3 in the Report of the Select Committee of the House
of Commons, m the month of March, 1834, only a very
partial. and that a very imperfect, fultilm_nt of those resolu-
tions ha I been effected ; for it appears, from official documents
that although in the month of August, 1834, the Admiralty
were directed, and did establish a monthly communication of
packets in the Mediterranean, yet, from that period up to the
13th day of Jun. 2 last, only four voyages by a steam-vessel had
