PROTESTANT CLERGY IN CANADA.

The subjoined Address to the KING was moved
and carried in the House of Assembly of Lower
Canada, in thei.i sitting of the 4th ult. :

T• THE NG'9 MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTT.

Most Gracious Sovereign,

We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyall subjects, your Com-
mons of- Lower Canada, in Provincial Parliament assembled,
humbly solicit ygur particular .attention and paternal benevo-
' • .
lence in favour of your`faithful subjects the clergy and people
of the Established Church of Sensland- and this province, and
in favour of your other faithful Protestant subjects, dissenting
.from the Established Churches of England and Scotland.
We respectfully represent to you, that since Canada has be-
come.a portion of the vast and flouriihing empire over which
long may your Majesty reign, emigration to this country has
constantly been much greater from Ireland and Scotland than
from the other parts of the empire. That the causes which
have produced that effect continue, and will probably continue
to act in future, and will p;oduce the same result, so that there
is' every appearance that the .Members of the Presbyterian
Church of Scotland and the Dissenters will continue to be,
.as
they are at present, much more numerous than the Members of
the Church of England.

That it is with lively satisfaction that your faithful Commons
can assure your Majesty that no feeling of religious animosity
has disturbed: harmony and concord among your subjects of
the various religious persuasions in this province ; and we are
persuaded that the most effectual means of perpetuatigg among
all a spirit of peace mid charity, and the same sentiments of
devotion and gratitude towards your Government, is to extend
your Royal favour and protection equally by just laws, the
same for all.

That the advanced state of civilization and knowledge has con-
vinced all minds that the principles of 'religious toleration are
an imprescriptible right of mankind, and ought to be exercised
in the fullest manner. And we have seen, with sentiments of
• the liveliest gratitude, those principles reduced into practice in
the province during the witole reign of your late august rather,
of happy memory, and during your Majesty's reign,by several
Acts .of the Imperial Parliament, and especially by the Act
I constituting the Government of this province: • • •
By this Act one-seventh of all the landS to be granted in the
province is reserved and set apart for the support of .a Protestant
c es could be construed as being

—a i
ud

That those reserves which might hereafter become an endow-
sent been

hagn I
g hitherto, o rhe
support of a single ecclesiastical
ineestanbt muchlisln e n,not
from their situation in parts
of the countr as
.Yet thinly Peopled and unimproved, given a
revenue, its distribution has
notas yet given rise to divisions
and.rivalships among the Protestant churches in the province.
But your faithful Commons see with disquiet and sorrow, that
the time cannot be remote at which so happy an order of things
must be disturbed, if the interpretation which some persons en-
deavour to give to the said Act were supported by the consti-
tuted authorities in -.the provinces, and its liberal provisions
were construed in a narrow unNvonrable sense, as if what ap-
, pears to have been enacted for the benefit of your Protestant
subjects had been done exclusively in favour of the Anglican
• church, whose, members in this province are, comparatively to
those of other Protestant-clinrches, among the least numerous.
That by the Act of Union between the kingdoms of Eng •
land and Scotland their respective churches have been acknow-
ledge(' as true Protestant churches in the territory of each of
the said States—and the subjects of the two kingdoms were
put upon an equal footing of reciprocity so as to enjoy in com-
mon. the same rights, privileges,, and benefits. That it results •
from that disposition, that when your subjects of either king-
dom emigrate into .any of your colonies, some of them ought
not to be entitled to civil advantages from which the others
would be•excluded, which would be the case if your subjects
of the Church of Scotland had no other resources than their
personal and voluntary contributions for paying the Ministers
necessary for their religious instruction, while your subjects of
the Church of England would be freed from that expence by
these reserves, if by law they had been set apart in their favour
exclusively, out of the territorial property in this pray ince.
Your dutiful Commons conceive that the true sense and
meaning of the said Act gives an equal right to the clergy of
the Established Church of your kingdom of Scotland to parti-
cipate, in coma on with that of the Established Church of Eng-
land, in the advantages and revenues which will arise from the
seventh of the lands which have been reserved for the support
of a Protestant clergy; -and that if the Ministers charged with
the religious instruction of the very numerous class_ of your
faithful Protestant dissenting subjects, have not an equal right
to participate in the revenues which those lands might produce,
they have equitable claims for some participation in those re-
venues, in consideration of their utility with respect Co the
reli-
gious instruction which it is just to facilitate to a class so nu-
merous in this province, as .that of your dutiful Protestant
subjects dissenting from the-Established Churches of England
and Scotland, who, in consequence of that separation, a con-
scientious one on their -part, justly' authorized by. the laws,
ought not to be excluded from civil advantages, nor from any
act of Royal munificence and protection which other classes of
your faithful subjects enjoy. • - - - -

A NEW COLONY.—It has beet) discovered,
that the island of Tristan da Cunha, which lies in SOuth
87. 6., West long: 11.44., and which was never known to
have been peopled before the year 1816, has now upon it, lie.:
ing in great happiness, 22 men and 3 women. The Berwick,
Captain Jeffrey, frOm London to Van Dieinari's Land, sent
her boat ashore on the 25ili of March.; 1823. The sailors
Were surprised at finding an Englishman, of the name of
Glass, formerly a corporal of the Artillery, and the rest of
the above-mentioned, population. Glass gave so favourable
an -account Of this island, which is only nine miles in diameter,
that. it may be -of importance to vesseli, on. their passage to
Van theinah's Land, to touchthere; they will be sure of a most
favourable reception. There are on. the island great plenty of
pigs, goats, potatoes, cabbages, &c.; abundance of fish, and
excellent water. This little colony had at.the turtle .upwards of
30 tons of potatoes to dispose of. The island is very fertile, in
fact, in:ev.ery,thing desirable to settlers; and Glass declared,
that if they had but L few women more, the place would be an
earthly paradise. He is a sort of Governor at Tristan' da
Cunha, by the appointment of 'the rest, on account of his mi-
litary character ; and he trades in a small schooneeto the Cape
of Good Hope, withathe oil of the sea-elephant and the skins
of the seal, which they catch in great abiindanee. There. is a
mountain upon the island, 8,500 feet in height ; the crew of
the Berwick saw it at the distance of 50 miles. They intend..
tel to take on board part-Of the product of the island,, but were
Obliged to make sail, as the breeze treeame very fresh.
