LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

QUEBEC, JULY 16.—This day at two o'clock,
his 'Excellency the Governor in . Chief opened the
Session with- a speech, of which the following is
an extract •

" It is deeply to be regretted, that the deter-
mined hostile disposition of the American Go-
vernment has frustrated the earnest endeavours of
'Lis Majesty for the preservation of amity with the
United States ; and that it .has finally-manifested
itself, in a declaration of war, notwithstanding
the convincing. proofs. so repeatedly afforded by
his Majesty.of the justice of his cause, of *the
moderation of his-pretensions,, and of his sincere
desire for the continuance of peace.
" To meet this unexpected event, I rely with
the fullest confidence upon the spirit of his Ma„
iesty's subjects in this province; upon their at-
tachment to, :and zeal for the religion of theirs
forefathers ; 'their loyalty to their Sovereign, and
upon their ardent love for the true interests of
their country; and as I feel satisfied that they,are
not to be intiundated by the insidious offers of
thetneruy, I shall depend implicitly, under Divine
Providence, upon their best eXertions, aided by
the courage and loyalty of the militia, and by the
Valour, skill, and diScipline of his Majesty's regu-
lar forces, for repelling every hostile attempt that
may be made upon this colony.
" It gives nie'sincere pleasure to 'assure you,
that the good conduct and increasing discipline
Which I have lately witnessed in the incorporated
battalion of militia, encourage theexpectation that
they will materially contribute to this important
object. Feeling persuaded that I can rely upon
Your assistance and co-operation in whatever
illeastires may be deemed .necessary for the public
Welfare and: safety, and trusting that they will be
decisive in character, and prompt in execution, I
look forward with confidence to a happy issue of
the new contest. in which we are engaged.-
