SCOTCH AND IRISH IN CANADA.

Details of a Riot which took place amongst the Irish and
Scotch Emigrants in Upper Canada:—

" QuEnrc, MAY 24.—1 am convinced that many rumours
will be afloat respecting a most unpleasant, and I might say
unfortunate, which has recently taken place in this dis-
trict. I say unfortunate, because a life or two has been lost ;
and, if report be true, two more are missing,-who are supposed
to have gone over the rapids in the Mississippi, in endeavour.
ing to make their escape in a canoe. A great many most
violent assaults and batteries had some time previously been
committed by some of the Irish emigrants who lately came
out with Mr. Robinson. This gentleman was engaged by the
English Government, at its expellee, to convey some emigrants
from Ireland to form a settlement in Upper Catania, under
its auspices. On the 23d, after the muster of a wing of one
of the militia regiments was over, a serious quarrel took place
between these people and the Scotch, and an attack was made
on the house of a Mr. Morris, of Murphy's Falls;. the win-
dows were broken to pieces with sticks and large stones, and
several people severely hurt ; a shot was fired from Some one
within, and being loaded with slugs, wounded no less than
three of Mr. Robinson's people • unfortunately, one who had
nothing to do in the affray. As 1 was not with that part of
the corps, I will not pretend to say how the quarrel commenced,
or who were the aggressors : the reports are various. On the
Monday following a large body of Nott's settlers assembled,
to the number of one hundred or one hundred anti fifty,
many of them with arms, and the others with shilelas, march-
ing with colours and music; and having arrived at the scene
of the former riot, they recommenced their attack on Mr. Mor-
ris's house, who, after making the necessary repairs, had fled
to Perth, broke open the window, entered the house, and de-
stroyed almost every thing they could lay their hands on.—
These circumstances having been reported to the Sheriff, a meet-
ing of the Magistrates were convened by his request, and it ap-
peared that a lawless banditti were going about, destroying the
property, and thwatening the life of' the honest and industrious
man ; that manylndividnals had already been beaten in a most
ba'barous manner, which called for immediate steps to put an
end to such disgraceful proceedings. In consequence of which
an armed party was sent ()Wunder the Deputy (the Sheriff him-
self' being unable, from extreme illness, to go), accompanied
by Colonel Marshall, Dr. Thorn, and W. Graham, who were
sent for the purpose of taking depositions, and of issuing
warrants against such as were found implicated ; it .being
known that many, if' not all, were absolutely afraid to come its
Perth to obtain redress, in (tread of the threatened vengeance of
these people. On the party's arrival at the depot below, it was
divided into two divisions to prevent the escape of any of the
other party. On the approach to a house of one of our's, a
shot or shots were fired from within,
was slightly wounded; another of our wC'heek.iOnon.

PARIS PAPERS.

PION, ,th 4 ConstigationneL

PA esti, JULY B.—The Chamber of Deputies
is about to discuss the Budget. Nothing is more
simple than a Budget for those who desire to
play fair, hut nothing is more mysterious, if con-
nieg and dissimulation take the place of honesty
and frankness. The year 18'23, with the enor-
mous expence of eur numerous administrative
functionaries, was, according to the Financial
Law of Aug.-182S, to be 899,838,451 francs. By
the-law of accounts of supplementary credit pre-
sented this year, it will have cost 1,144,601,671
franc', making a real additional charge for the
tax payers of 244,763,220 francs, without in-
cluding the debt in arrears (passif des causes),
which amounts to 67,000,000 francs and other
charges. If there were fair play, could such
charges be made without rendering their authors
liable under the 56th Article of the Charter ?
But let us wait, the Peers have not yet sanc-
tioned this new financial doctrine. The taxes
required for 1825 amount to the enormous sum of
.898;933,180 francs, to he thus expended._

It is possible, however, to tal
suppose that in, 9
1826 or 1826 a
new supplementary credit may be required to cover the defi-
ciencies of the last year, a% we see in the expences of that

This is the probable expence for 1825, and it amounts to
nearly the double of what is now avowed. From this it results,
that Prance, which ought to expend for one year 899,838,452

The probable supplement expence then for these two years is
903,703,220 francs. Is this financial situation consoling for the
future ? The Minister of Finance has not thought it necessary
to carry every thing to the budget this year in figures. Several
articles are mentioned in it pour memoire ; thus at page 15fl,
the interest of the floating debt, the reconnaissances de uphill-
lion, the annuities, are inserted only as a memorandum. These
interests, it is true, cannot amount to mote than 16,000,000 f.
We understand the Committee of the budget made some obser-
vations, and were answered that It was of no use to place so
many figures, because by the gain of the last loan all those
trifling expences might be paid. It was remarked, that this
gain, as well as these expences, should be placed on the nud-
ist, to form an exact balance. His Excellency having per-
sisted in asserting this to be useless, the Committee thought,
it is said, that it ought to pass to the next subject of consi-
deration.

NI A nut D, 3u LY 1.--( By an Extraordinary
Conueyance.)—The Minister of Marine has re.
• eiveci the following' official intelligence front
I' nerta.ltico, dated May 15 :
" r transmit to your Excellency the report of the advan-
tages which the anus of the King our Sovereign have obtained
in the kingdom of Santa Fe, whose troops occupy the capital,
as well its the province of Maracaibo.
or We are already informed of the successive defeats which
" Bolivar has sustained in Peru, A Mithful Spaniard, named
Vincent Pena, a man of great sense and very worthy of credit,
hu arrived froM Maracaibo, which he only quitted last month.
lie has given me the most circumstantial.details respecting the
weaknesses of the forces and resources of the rebels. Misery
-overwhelms and disunites them ; every where arc heard wishes
for the re-eatablisliment of the Royal authority. A very !neon-
41fierable force would suffice to rally all well-die nosed people,
who arc pressed to despair by the vexations and exactions of
the individuals who compose the revolutionary government.
" Colonel Perez, a bpanish refugee, was assassinated iu
open day in the streets of Puerto Cabello. A black Captain
publicly exclaimed Vive le Ito! and no one ventured to
attack him.
4• Tile revolutionary troops have not received one real for
-upwards of a year; thay receive salt meat and biscuit in lieu
of pay. The wart of money is so great,
.that the Insurgents
have been obliged to disarm the two Brigantines, the Pinchina
and time Ourica. The English Captain Maitland has resigned
his command, not being able any longer to endure this extreme
of misery."
The above authentic advices have arrived by way of Curacoa.
The following are what have been received direct from the
COsta.ifirmit, with an official character _

Santa.Fi is occupied by the Royalist General Camerae.
Bolivar, who had assembled 14,000 under his orders, has been
completely beaten and routed by a less numerous corps of the
Royal Army.. It is principally to the Spanish cavalry that this
•triumph of the good cause is due. The results of this victory
have been in the first place that 4,000 insurgents have aban-
doned the standard of revolt to range themselves under the
IWial banners, and the flight of Bolivar as far as Carthame—
* flight, which was so precipitate, that hie guard of honour
either perished, or abandoned him. Ills Lieutenant Sucre, is
wandering about with a feeble detachment 4 he vainly solicits
reinforcements front his Government ; but Tar from remedying
so many disasters, the Revolutionary Authorities will not hear
a. word about them. The punishment of death is decreed against
'whoever circulates news from the army.
Anarchy reigns every where. Cisneros is roving about the
country with a band, sometimes consisting of 300 men, some-
times of ten, pillaging and sacking. The inhabitants of the
district of Zulia have oftlaed 3,000 piastres for his head.
" At Llano, the men of colour had conspired a general mu.
•sacre of the whites. Peer has caused seven Colonels to be shot,
who were implicated in this conspiracy.
" Captain Don Juan Amengueal has brought the important
news, that the Royalist General Urdaneta has retaken posses.
lion of the fortress of Maracaibo. Ile has, besides, seized
at Laguna, seven ships belonging to the rebels. The few
revoking troops which were in that quarter have fled us far as
Coro."
Independently of the facts here stated, the Gazettes of Are.
quip° and Cuzco.eontain the following details respecting the
eveets which have taken place in Upper Peru. It is remark-
able that these several articles of intelligence bear the title of
Official Correspondence.
It was on the 2f3th October that the Viceroy lat Serna (who
,closely pursued the Insurgents across the valley of Sicasica)
succeeded in coining ,up with them at Cochabuinba. They were
commanded by Lanza ; the action was warmly maintained ;
but the Royalist infantry decided the victory, by charging with
the bayonet. The enemy left on the field of battle att their
artillery, caissons, and baggage. Their loss in killed and
wounded Is upwards of 000, without reckoning 600 prisoners
who remain In the power of the Royal Army.

next number a second Bulletin will be published.)
ST. CLOUN JULY 6.—Tho King heard mass
In his apartments. liis Majesty took an airing is,
his carriage at two O'clock.
PAltli, JULY 7.—Tha,question of the Jude-
pendendence of South America has already for
several months past ItXCIUSiVeIy occupied the pe-
riodical writers of England. Each I
of went has
expressed the opinions of the .party to which he
.belongs ; but the great majority otthern, it mast
xtbriitted, have declared in favour of the ;nun--
gents of the New World. It 'was pretty much
the irime,it may have been observed, with regard
to the war of Spain. The more, glorious and pro-

fitable it was to France, under every point of
view, the more it revived jealousies and provoked
mistrustful rivalries. There are yet in Old lug
land a number of envious minds who cannot en-
dure to see the house of France reign at once
over the most feriile and wealthy countries in the
Old and New World. These malevolent feel-
ings have incited them in favour of the rebellious
colonies of the Spanish Monarchy. Taking their
wishes for the real state of things, they already
behold the Liberator Bolivar driving the revolu-
tionary car from the mouths of the Oroonoko to
the shores of the Pacific Ocean ; but the star of
the great Bolivar has suddenly become eclipsed.
The burning plains of Peru have become to him
what the snows of Russia were to his master and
model, Buonaparte ; he has there lost his army,
his glory, and his power. The perpetual anarchy
of Mexico, the sudden return of the English Com-
missioners, a return blood-stained by an assassi-
nation, the complete nullity of Buenos Ayres,
and, filially, the unexpected apparition of that
Republic du centre, formed of the remnants of
other Republics, already falling into decay, at
the end of a ten years' existence, all concur to
open the eyes of the attentive observer. If igno.
ranee and bad faith still find support in some of
the London Journals (amongst others The Courier
is distinguished more for bad faith than igno-
rance), there are others which begin to pay free
homage to truth.
