IiirONSIEUR 14EBItUN (who had the sa.
INA tisfaction of introducing into these Realms. isbout
elebtettn years since, the GENUINE PATE: PECTORAL DE
JUJUBE,) has the honour of offering to the Public a New
and Elegant species of Pastille, which combines with its pec-
toral and soothing properties, those of mellowing and improv-
ing the voice, by rendering it wore agreeable and more flex-
ible. At the same time it imparts to the breath a permanent
fragrance, resembling Ambrosia. This has induced the In-

." More than seventy years ngo, a mission was begun by the
Moravian Brethren among the Calame Tartars,-which, after
a short trial, was necessarily abandoned, but the object itself
was never abandoned. Failing in the direct attempt to plant
the Gospel among these fierce and restless barbarians, in the
year 1785 a colony was established on the banks of the !Volga,
to which various families and individuals from Oerman Con-
gregations emigrated, and the place which they called Sarepta,
is now one of the most considerable of the Brethren's settle-
ments. The station was expressly occupied for the purpose of
cultivating a friendly intercourse with the numerous hordes
that- frequent the neighbourhood, till the set time should come,
when they would hearken to the Gospel.
" Though no opportunity of preaching Christ to thou Gen-
tiles was neglected, all instruction seemed to be in vain, till
within a few years past, when the way was opened fur the re-
newal of a regular mission among. them. Since then several
Brethren, wandering or sojourning with them, as they roved
or rested, in the adjacent region, have been diligently endea-
vouring to teach them the truth as it is in Jesus, and by the
blessing of the Lord, now one, and then another, among the
Calmucs, have had their hearts opened and their minds enfight,
ened by the Holy Spirit. So gently, yet so safely, bath the
good Shepherd led these lost sheep, after he had found them in
the wilderness, that their lives being endangered, from the
wolves among their countrymen, on account of their Christian
profession, they were moved to take a step perhaps unexampled
among their tribes, who are rovers front their birth, tn leave
the horde and settle upon a little island in the \Volga, near Sa-
repta, where, under the eye of their teachers and the protection
of Emperor Alexander, they hoped to live quiet and peace.
able lives, in all godliness and honesty. 'rids migration has
been effected, and the desolate island is now inhabited by a class
of people hitherto unknown in the history of man—Tartars be:
come Christians, and settled upon one spot fur the purpose of
agriculture and commerce

-41 It wag on a stormy evening that these firstlings of, the
Calmuc race arrived on the land belonging to the colony of Sa--
repta. Their teacher, brother Schill, on horseback, led their
march: he was accompanied by several of the heads of ftitni-
lies, and followed by the main body of the men on foot. Be-
hind these came their camels, three in number, loaded after the
manner of the East, with tent skins on which the women were
seated. The next objects in the procession were two Calm=
carts drawn by horses, and another drawn by it bullOck, like-
wise loaded with tent skins and furniture, on which theyoung
children were placed, while the elder walked by their side. Some
of the stoutest boys brought up the rear, driving before
them seventy heads of cattle, sheep, and goats. Their march
lay along the banks of the river, and 'a boat containing a small
party accompanied it on the stream. The evening grew clam,
and the sun was set before they had all reached the end of their
pilgrimage. It .was a spectacle never witnessed on earth: be-
ore, and surely there w.is joy in Heaven among the angels of
(Jon over theie sinners that thus repented.,
" Day after day, . .
before they had taken full, possession of
their island, the brethren and sisters, young and.old, from'Sa-
repta, visited the encampment of the fugitives and bade theth
welcome in the name of the Lord. They hadi pitched their
tends about three miles front: the village, and there they abode
hearing the word of GOD preached, praying, and praising him,
both in the great assembly and in their family circles. Among
their visitors was the venerable Brother Steinman, 83 years of
age, and one of the first settlers at Sarepta. He, as well as the
few surviving fathers of the colony, had never forgotten the ori-
ginal purpose of' the place—to be a frontier post on theverge of
the kingdom of darkness, front which to semi glad,tidings °foal-
vation into the heart of Asia. For this consummation lie and
they had been offering up dailyprayers foe more than half aCen-
tary. When therefore he heard of the arrival of this company of.
Cafintic Confessors, the patriarch seized, his stair which he hail
long laid aside, and, notwithsts,ndbig.the distance: and his infir-
mities, by the help of friends who supported his steps; he reached
die camp. There,
_after beholding with his own eyes what. (I.9D-
had wrought for these poor savages, and liaving heard them
sing iii their native tongue various hymns that spoke of the
suffering* of Chest and the glory that should follow, he broke
out into a transport of joy; and returned home thanking and
blessing app Two days afterwards, he closed his eyes and,
departed in Petite; having seen the salvation or the Lord thus

Coniiderable anxiety was manifested yesterday to witness the
inititilition of Sir James :Mackin!Oile, as Lord Rector of this
University. The doors of the pallegie Hall, were opened at
half-past two o'clock for the admission of students, and at three
to the public. The hall and galleries were crowded to excess,
and numbers went away who could not possibly obtain admit-
tances Soon after three o'clock the Lord Rector entered, so-
cornprinied by a number of the Profeesors and distinguished
friends, amongst whom We observed—Lords Belhaven, (lilies,
and Alletwey' the late Lord Rector, Mr. Campbell of Blyes th.
wood, and •Itlessrs. Cockburn, Monetieff, Murray, and Thom-
son. Sir Jkous Mackintosh was received with the most crelm.
siastic cheering, and having taken the ocustouied oaths, he
addressed the members of the University in an 'eloquent speech,
which derived additional iuteeest from the consideration that it
proceeded from one who had conferred leonine on his native
land, by the humanity which dtingtifsheiflits'exettione fee the
reformation of our cntninal jurisprudence, by the soundness of
his philosophical views, and by the nuttily and independent
manner in which he had uniformly mode his brilliant talents:.
available in the public cause.
fflir James Macs: terrosit began by expressing his sincere
and hearty thanks for the high, uninerited, and unexpected
honour to which he had been raised by the suffrages of this
University. So unexpected wits the honour, that the election
was completed before he knew he was a candidate. In tiddr ?ei-
ing his hearers, he WIS placed in a situation of great difficulty
and delicacy. The tone of those calm and mild studite to which
this University was consecrated, would not permit politics :0
intrude herself upon them, and his voice bad for long dine been
raised in political contention. Universities are of value only
for the production of those purposes which all good men of all
apes, and sects, and parties equally esteem and equally cherish.
Roth ing is to be studied and contemplated here, but that
which is to render men good subjects of a just government_
(Great applause.)—lle felt himself honoured by the consi-
deration of the illustrious competitor to whom he was op,
posed, (Sir IValter Scott.) lie would with great pleasure have
taken this opportunity of saying of him in public, what he ha*
un iforinly said offilin in private, if so much praise and admiration
had not already been paid him by his friend and predecessor
(Mr. Jeffrey)—the efiSct of whose encomiums he would not
mar by attempting to repeat it, in les.s skilful phrase. , Speak-
ing of his own feelings, he would have considered it no less of
honour to have been vanquished by such a competitor. The
presence of his excellent friend, the late Lord Rector, restrained
him front saying all he could wish to say respecting him . but
I am sure," said he, Le no man who knows me will think that
underrate my own feelings, in the general assertion, that he is
a man at least as much beloved as he is admired by his readers
and his hearers.. He is as much the darling of those societies
of which be is an individual member, as he is almost a solitary
instance of a long and brilliant literary reputation, joined to a
professional career of equal length and brilliancy." Ile would
be careful that there should not escape him a single expression
which Might create the least irritation. 1-le would do his utmost
to preserve concord anti good-will within the University. If his
own character was not sufficient security, that he would not de.
part from these rules, he had then beside hint two of the dearest
friends of his youth, (Lords (Sillier and Alloway) who had
raised themselves to the highest judicial situations in the coun-.
try, and lie was sure that even their friendship for him would
; not sanction party politica.
In reverting to the honour done hint, he remarked that this
was one of the most flattering distinctions that could have been
conferred upon him, for it is peculiarly gratifying to those im.
inersed in political affairs, that any part of their conduct should
receive the calm approbation of those devoted to study. lie
greatly prized any literary honour from a Scottish University,
and more especially from m distinguished a seminary, where he
had received his own education. ,It reminded him of that pe-
riod of life, and of those scenes where lie derived that tone
of literature, which has been the never failing, and steady
enjoyment, and consolation of his life, and to which he could
now add the testimony of a great. Latin orator, as proved
from his own experience liar stadia, a daksvantiam
dust, senedetem Weetant, wrimia: re* °mutt adversis pei-
fugiuns ac solationt prirbent." Ile was verging on thope
years in which he was almost entitled to confute by eepee
teen= that which he felt not to be a panegyric on letters, but
a testimony. by him ,who was most eminently qualified to
estimate their value. He felt, in a more sensible manner the
honour done him in this that the youth of the University have
been principally Instrumental In the election. " J must confess
there is something in is icelingof approbation of youth (which
must of necessity be pure), which is extremely
,gratifying,espe-
cially to those who pass through a long and varied life. I recur
to the early period dilly existence; and I now feel a renovation
of the pleasure I enjoyed when I was one of a similar class. I
feel a sort of renovation of the pumice and friends of my youth
—my sympathy riser with your expressions of approbation
and I cannot but acknowledge that I feel as if I were sensible
that were I in your situating, 1 should lung to have done just
as you have acted.--(Loud and continued applause.)—lt can
be no great infatuation in me therefore to say that I warmly
value the approbation and support of youth, like the poet who
revisits the scenes of his early life
' I feel the gales that from ye blow,
A momentary bliss bestow ;
As waving fresh their gliuleome wing,
My weary soul they sees to soothe;
And, redolent of joy and youth,
To breathe:a second spring.'
But, Gendetuen, no ditlitglit or gratification could reconunend
to 'me an institution in which sqgbprivilegee were granted to
youth, as . you enjoy, unless iiirreason and experience were
satisfied of their utility. I am satisfied that the privileges Of
the Academes youth to this Univereity, which have been en.
joyed for so many ages, are most beneficial to your &canonical
institutions. They serve to promote induitry, to lighten obe-
dience, to enforce discipline, and to attach the students(
to the University. It seems to me that all great semi-
naries should serve but at means for preparation for the
active duties of life. I am satisfied that the original in.
stitutions of this seminary, which conferred upon the youth
the election of their tied Magistrate, have been wisely con-
trived, for they have never exercised that, valuable privi-
lege without doinglionour to themselves and the University.
In looking ova the list of names of those who have been
raised to that distinguished eminence by their Mtill'ageg, I ob.
serve no name that 1 should wish to be expunged. They have
always used this privilege wisely and honourably. Their minds
are not yet influenced by venal or intersected motives, and their
voices are more to be valued than if they had been moved
by considerations which influenced persons :of riper years, but
of lets disinterested feelings. Besides, the calculations of pro-
bability, are in this respect confirmed by expirie ue ; the
holders of this offiCe have uniformly been such as we at recant-
mended to the youthful minds of the students by some
vent claims to "distinction in rank and station, or in science

'effaira, it would have scented peculiarly ileliclutfar any tie:eery
body to have distingeitaied a person, so strongly opposed to the
edminietration of the day, this University elected to be laird
Rector Edmund Burke, whelied ern calkd the most philose-

phical orator of his day, but whom I would rather describe as
the most elocitient political philosopher of modern times.
" I am well aware I have no claim to engage your attention
but that of a countryman engaged in laborious public pursuits.
I ant well aware that I have no other pretensions than the love
of letters ; —my life has been variegated and has left little for
the proeccution of projects that were formed in my early life,
and the age of repose has been canverted into an age of anxiety.
I would advise those who are masters of their own time, that
they would confine their life to one object, and not be distracted
by diversity of pursuit. I would observe, Gentlemen, that the
national partiality which we in Scotland feel for one another,
may have had some share in this Election. This has been con-
sidered by some as a reproach : but it is a singular circumstance
that ono of the greatest writers of antiquity represents this qua-
lity as predominating among the inhabitants of the Mountain-
ous regions of ! iy. It is designated as fainxix avorum re-
giontun 1, to whi:• 'tome in modern times have made anapproaeli.
`'l should thielt myself culpable, Gentlemen, were I to pass'
over a few of the extraordinary bottom's that have distinguished
this University in former times. It was founded by the Roman
Catholic establishment—was coeval with the art of printing._.
with a period when a few mechanics by finding out the mean,'
of inventing a new copyingenechitte, changed in some measure
the whole system of letters and almost of civil society. It was
a curious fact that this discovery wax made at the period 011ie
evacu'atian of France by the English troops. This was an
event that was expected to work out a wonderful change on
Continental politica The other event was hardly known. Yet
in the course of so short a period we now find it a difficult mat-
ter to settle the precise time of their leaving France—it is in-
volved in obscurity and interests no one. But this mechanical
art has been extending and improving the condition of Man-
kind—has been performing its part with silence., rapidity and
security, and will never perish so long as man exists to be.
nefitted 11_4.
" This University might seem to have been deprived of its
chief prop and stay oy the reformation ; but it is not the course
of reformation to sweep away the sciences ; it only, fixes them
on a firmer foundation. The reiermation, the emancipation of
the human understanding, gave anew vigour to the University.
Under the government of Melville, the able lawgiver of the
Prmibytefian Church, this University acquired a new impulse,
which led it directly forward to that prosperity at which it
was soon to arrive. In a brighter period, Dr. Gilbert Bur.
nett, to whom England owes the history of her reforma-
tion and the exposition of her creed, and to whom the
Liberties of England are deeply indebted, and whose
language is elegant and his sentiments liberal; he came from
amongst you and honoured the Divinity chair of this Uni-
versity. by his virtues and his genius. To me it seems fortu.
nate that the sciences have not retired here as elsewhere, to. a
hermitage, but have conic and planted themselves in the heart of
a great and populous city, which has risen to be the second in
the island and the third in the empire, and in the very
midst of this great city this University has been planted. It
was owing to this that the two most important new sciences dis-
covered in the 18th century, the sciences of chemistry and po.
litical economy, were both laid at the same time within
these walls where I now address you. They are both of such a
nature as to unite the active with the speculative dutiN of life.
About the same time the discovery of the steam-engine was
made by Mr. Watt, a person connected with this University—
one of the most important discoveries in modern times. This
great increase of scientific knowledge wax the result of the
uniog of recluse speculation with the active business of life,
and of the intimate connection which Dr. Smith and Dr.
Black maintained with the practical business of this great
city.. This shows the advantage of men of scientific skill,
mixing with the various individuals , who exert themselves
in perfecting the arts, compared with those who dose away
life in dreams of science without applying them to the Far.
tical benefit of mankind. (live me leave lo say, that in other
branches of science, this University has been not less dia.
tinguished titan in these. I hold in my hand an old edition
of Ptolemy, printed in 1530, in which is given u character
of the various' nations in the world.' The 'character assigned
to the Scots is, that they mire—ist, prompt to revenge-91, fall
of the pride of birth ;..so that they boast of royal descent, though
in a state of beggary—and 3.1, they are much addicted to logi-
cal and metaphysical subtilties. Novehappily the reign of Lew
and regulated Government had restrained this love of revenge
within reasonable bounds, and the progress of commerce anti
the arts had introduced a feeling of equality among par-
sons of birth and of merit. But ft is curious that even up to our
own times no change has been wrought upon the other part
of our character. The disposition to abetract science, still ad.
hetes to the Scottish nation. But the study of 'metaphysics,
has no where been more rationally or more successfully culti-
vated than amongst you, anti while it has been stripped of its
sulttilticii, has reteined all its vigour and its usefulness. There
is now, Gentlemen, none of that spirit of hostility to our
countrymen of other persuasions, that ainnerly was said to
distinguish the people of this country. This spirit of in.
tolerance is fast wearing away front every country. Cul-
vanistie chapels are now erected at Amsterdam anti Ge-
neva ; I have seen a Catholic Bishop at Boston, and even in
Glasgow is a Catholic chapel, probitbly the most beauti-
ful *tn the Island."—(Partial disapprobation.)—When silenee
was restored, Sir James in continuation' observed with great
animation and effect that those who had manifested symptoms
of disapprobation, would probably have withheld them hail
they waited for the following sentence :—" Far be it from
me ever to assert any sentiment inconsistent with my original
convictions of the doctrines of a sincere Protestant—or with the
most determined opposition to the arbitrary doctrines and domi-
nant and intolerant spirit of the Church of Rome. On the
contrary, the reason tbat I rejoice in the existence of such a
Catholic edifiee is, that It proves that the staih of intolerance
has been wiped way from the Protestant Church.—.(Uni.
venal applause.)—lle was afraid that he had intruded too
long on their time.—(No,. no. would give hint the greatest
pleasure toProlong intetceurse. with them, but he feared it
would be, inconvenient for. them." Ile then delivered an ele-
gant eulagium on the various distinguished individuals who
had done honour to this University, The scientific and bene-
volent Ilutcheiton had led the way in a. thetny of morals, and
his opinions had been illustrated in a life by Principal
Leishinan, which deserved to be better known,--written with
great elegenee, and occasionally rising into eloquence. , Dr.
Smith had united great ancient learuing with a familiar
knowledge of the affitint of active life, and in the science
of political economy as well as of morals, and the pried.
pies of sound taste bad established a distinguished repu.
tation. Dr. Reid had diecuised ' with excellent good sense
the principles of Metaphysics and Ethics, The lives anti opi-
nions ,of those eminent persons had been made known to
all Europe by Profeesor Dugald Stewart, in a style of
splendid eloquence, a 0110*(44 ter whose writings had in-
fused the love of sound opinions and of virtue into more
Mullen bosoms than it had ever fallen to the lot of any other
man to do. ." I cannot conclude, said (Sir Jetties), with-
out warmly adverting to the distinction conferred on this Univer-
sity by my friend Mr. Miller, whose merits are too froth in the
recollection of all who heat me to justify me in dilating upon.
Thus, Gentlemen, to the great men who funned the University,
a succession of illustrioutemen have been trained up, anti it can-
not be too much the practice of these who new, eo honetwebly
and respectably fill the places of their illmitrions predecessor*,
to hold up to the youth under their charge the example of the
Smiths, the liutchesons, the Plucks, mid a hose of other great
names who have adorned the L'ltiVtNity, and benriitted man-
kind by their' discoveries, or their writing's. I. return' you,
.Gentlemen, my sincere thanks fur the Malone you gave can.

4. The differences with regard to the apportionment of the
revenue raised at Quebec, springing from the acquiescence of
this Province in the exercise of this controul by the Legisla-
ture of Lower Canada, and gradually becoming wider' nd
mire difficult of adjustment, at length rendered an appeal to
our Most Gracious. Sovereign and the Imperial Parliament
indispensable for the vindication of the just claims of Upper
Canada.
6. That wet feel grateful to the Imperial Parliament for the
care with which they have guarded the rights and intereser of
this Province by certain provisions in the act, entitled An
Act to regulate the trade of the Provinces of Lower and Upper
Canada, &c." passed during the last Session, which we con.
eider the only effectual mode of preventing encroachment by
the Parliament of Lower Canada so long as the Legislature of
the two Provinces remain separnte. •
6. That notwithstanding the sistiefaction with which we have
received this proof of the justice and consideration for our right-
ful drums shewn by the Imperial Pailianient, we cannot lest'
look forward with apprehension to the discontent end'jertiousy
which may follow the award of arbitrators of the oecasignal
exercise of the cheek granted to the Parliament of Upper
Canada, en the Legislative proceedings of Lower Canada, anti
which will prove the provisions of the late Act to regulate the
trade of these Provinces to be a measure of wisdom and wipe-
pediency; but not of reconciliation.
. 7. That the union of the Legislatures of 'Clive: and Lower
. Canada is the only practicuble mode of putting an end to the
disputes reepecting the appropriation of revenue and *retiring
' the equal right appertaining to both sections of the country.
„Thrit while we esteem our fellow subjects in Lower Ca-
nada of Praia descent for their twiny excellent quelitiert and
virtues,and while w e ref pee t their loyalty,and their natuml attach
ment to the laws, language and religion of their forefathers, we
look to the union of the two Legislatures as the only scheme
which care be devineti to make us one people. to infuse into the
great mass of the population the true feelings of Britons, to
mould us gradually into the shape and substance, of a British
Colony, to introduce among us more generelly, the arts,
telligence, the commercial enterprise of Eng.and, and to render
the Canadas die most valuable and secure poeseesionentebe
British Crown.

• 9. That a petition, wbe laid at the foot of the Throne, ek-
preiedng to hts most gracious Majesty our solicitude for the
accomplishment'of a Legislative Union, ought to be presented
without delay.. ,
IV. That a Committee of 1S persons be appointed to ptevere-
a petition Mr the signature of such inhabitants of the town and
County as are desirous of seeing the' proposed Union tarried
into etfeet, to correspond with the inhabitants of other parts of
the Provinces, and to adopt such other measures as may serve
to promote the important end in view.
• After vety luminous speeches from Mr. A. 31`Lean; Mr.
M'Auly, and Hagerman, the following gentlemen were ap-
pointed as a Committee to forward the obct of the 3feeting :

KINGSTON, (U. C.) Nov. I.—A meeting of individuals
friendly to the re-union of the provincial 'legislatures has been
called at Brockville, and will take place to-morrow.—An ease-
elation has been formed at Brockville, to prevent as far as pos.
sible any future violation of the late act of the Imperial Parlia-
ment, regulating the importation of Ametiean timber into Bri-
tish ports. The means they intend employing for tVe ocean).-
plishment of this purpose, is to watch the shipment at Quebec
of timber the growth of the United States, under false certifi-
cates that it is of Catedian origin, and to prosecute with rigour
all parties detected in this illegal usiftie, so injurious to the fair
trader.

--Vaiirec, Nov. gentleman who went in the steam
lvat Alontagnais,to the Snguenay, returned yesterday, having
left the boat about 43 toiler below, with the toss of anchor and
other damage. The boat we understand sailed up 45 tar
Chicoutimi, a distance of upwinds of 20 leaktes from the Ili:J.lth
of the Saguenay. •To the person with no other view than
amusement, the scenery of that river, which presents nature hs
her most grand stul romantic aspects, will affurdirreat satisfac.
iion. &M it is in connectiOn 'with its settletnetit that ttuit cc nn.
try becomes interesting ; the fine climate andthe fertility of the
soil, as well as the peculiar advantage of its Watff vOMMUllica-
tions, and its vicinity to the sea, affords a fair prospect that it
will ultimately be one of the most tiourishing anti rich parts of
this pureince. The inducements' which these, advantages will
afferd, added to the abundance of timber fitted fin tAvortAtion,
will soon secure its settlement ; the peculiar nature of the trade
carried on there has, however, retarded this ; Lit when the
game is destroyed which is said to be fast dirtiniabiag, we rnAy
expect the latent IcsinirCes of that country to he brought into
view, arid its present tenants supplanted by the indiuittious and
intelligent husbandman.
