vital .cptestiou must be temperately discatsed, aud

we deprecate inflammatory statements which ne

tlicr tend to promote tlit (Aids of policy or jus

tice.

We understand that it is the intention of Go

vermnent to give great encouragement to persons
who are desirous of proceeding from the United
Kingdom fOr the purpose °Nettling in the Canadas.
It is affirmed, On authority which wecannot permit
ourseNeS to doubt that a free passage and ptovisions
during the voyage, at GoVernment expenCe, will
be provided for such Settlers, and that.. they will
not only he put in possession of Grants'of Land,
proportioned in ektent to the means Which they
may possess of cultivating them., but that
they will' be • allowed rations and other indul-
genties ,for the time Which may be required"to-
enable theM to bring their land into cultivation.
The encouragement held out by Government on this
occasion is so liberal, that we have no' doubt,
the, opportunity. _will . be. eagerly ethbraced by
numbers ,of industrious, fatuilis from Ireland,
and mere
,cspecially, from Scotland, many of the
present settlers in Canada being natives ofNortlr
)3ritkrin, who must. have made khown to their
friends at home the
,advantages they have derived

from aremoval to the Canadian Provinces upon
terms' much less favourable than any at present

offered.

SEPARATION OF AMERICAN" UNION.

We arc enabled this day to lay before the Public
the plan proposed to be adopted by the New:Eng-.
land States at Hartford. TheyprOpose to make the
Convention of 1768 the basis of their proceedings,
and to frame a new Government,-to be submitted'
to the Legislature of the several StateS for their
approbation and adoption. The new Constitution
to go.into operation as in the former case, as soon
as two, three, or more.of the States named shall
have •adoPted it. The form of Government to be
as it now is, so modified in its minor provisions as
to withhold the right of suffrage from all but free
native white citizens. To forbid the creation and
admission into the Vnion of the New States with-
out the consent' 'of all the States. Two-thirds of
both branches of Congress to be necessary to de-
clare war. The term of Presidential service to be
lengthened, but the same person not to
,be re-
eligible, The imposition of unlimited restric-
tions upon commerce to be abolished. The slave
representation to be abolished, &c.

" On or before the 4th July (says the Ameri-
can Editor) if JAMES MADISON is not out of Office,
a new 'form of Government will be in operation
in the Eastern Section of the Union. Instantly
after the contest, in many of the States will be,
whether to adhere to the Old or jdin the new Go-
verntnent. Like every thing else-foretold years
ago, and which is verified every day, this warn-
ing will be also ridiculed as visionary. Be it so.
But Mr. ilholsoN cannot complete his term of
service, if the war continues. It is impossible,
and if he knew human nature he would see it."

Jamaica Papers to the Ist ult. reached us this
morning, from which we have'extraeted a number
of paragraphs, interesting to our Naval and Com-
mercial Readers and to the Public in general.
The only, notice of any political importance is,
that the Expedition under Admiral COCKBURN
would, it was understood, proceed in the first
'instance to Amelia Ishnd, for the purpose of taking
possession of it, and that a detachment of troops
was to be conveyed thither from New Providence
in the Rota frigate.

There are a number of reports respecting the
failure of the 'old attack on Mobille, in which the
Hermes was lost : this matter is, we imagine, the
foundation for all the rumours lately afloat about
the defeat of the. Great Expedition under Sir A.
COCHRANE. It appears, that after burning the
Herthes, Captain PERCY and his ship's company
went on board the Sophie, and returned to Pen-
sacola.

General JACKSON'S force is not represented as
half sa numerous or efficient as we have recently
bad it described 3-8000 men, instead of ;7,000,
are mentioned as its full amount.

Further troops sailed from Jamaica on the 27th
December, for the Mississipi.

ThIS morning CoIoneITORRENS waited upon his
Royal Highness thePluNcE REGENT for his Royal
Highness's deterMinatiOn upon the Sentence of the
Court Martial upon Lieut.;-Gen. MURIIAY. We
shall lay before our 'Readers in a Second Edi-
tion the Opinion cf the Court, and the Sentence.
