We his -Majesty's dutiful and loyal r subjects, inhabitants of

We have seen with the highest gratification ,the exertions of
your Lordship in promoting the interests of the Province; and
it becomes our duty nn the pewit occasion to congratulate
your Lordship upon the great improvements. which have taken
• place under your administration, more particularly in agricul-
ture, in which little progress had been previously made; and
to express our acknowledgments, that through the influence
and encouragement of your Lordship, a spirit of industry and
enterprise has been excited, which must be prodUctive of last.
in benefit to the colony.
We lament diners Nobleman . of, your Lordship's high rank
and character, who clinic to this Govezis iimmal

tion of promoting the best interests of
and whose general conduct hats tended fo conciliate their afli!c.

'blessings which they enjoy under the prOtection and fostering
care of the mother country, should by any means heve been
counteracted in advancing those Interests,' hut more particu.
larly by the extraorclinaryreflisal of those constitutional supplies,
which are essentially requisite for the encouragement of all im-
provement, as well as for the maintenance of social order and
good government. •
I Under such privations and difficulties, no gnvernment can
long exist and we humbly trust, that the tame feeling and
sympathetic regard, which your Lordship has hitherto evinced
for the welftire of this Province, will be farther manifested, by
your successtkil endeavours to obtain such an effectual remedy,
AS may prevent the recurrence of circumstances fraught with
ee:treme injury and danger, not only to this Province, but also
to Upper Canada, •whose interests are nearly connected with

We cherish the hope, that through the Influence of your

Interest in our favour, at the preeent crisis of affairs, and that
such change may be speedily effected, in the political relit-
dons of the Provinces of Canada, as may develope and increase

return of your Lorilehip, tinder the happy, auspices of io im.
portent an event, that we may again experience the benefits of

in a person of rank and character, in whom we have the great.
eat confidence.
We devoutly. pray that your Lordship and Lady Dalhousie
may have a favourable passage to Great Britain, and a happy
meeting with time rest of your Way ; and thee your Lordship
may experience such a gracious reception from our beloved
Sovereign, as to the arduous and faithful administration of the
government committed to your charge, so justly merits.
Montreal. May 1, 1824.
To which Address hie Excellency was Pleased to return the
following Answer.:—
An Address expressing so strongly the sentiments of the re.
spectable inhabitants of the city of Montreal, cannot but be
highly gratifying to nie.—At this moment,: when about to
preserit myself to my Sovereign,. a testimony so honourable
in regard twiny edintnistration of this government would have
relieved my mind from all anxiety, had there been any such
feeling upon it. Thank God there is no such anxiety upon
my mod, for although I cannot take to myself all the merit.
Which You give me in this Address, I feel conscious that 1
have devoted my. utmost abilities to promote the public good
in all points whicii came within the powers vested in one. I
do sincerely lament with you that an unreasonable and violent
party spirit should have been carried so far as to counteract and
check almost every measure of the government, but I do not
despair of yet seeing the day, when more liberal sentiments
and more gust views of. the public interests shall•take. place
of that cabilling ill temper, which trams done so much mischief
of late years; nor do I abandon my hope that the loyaly
and good sense which mark the character of the people in.
Lower-Caniute, will before long reject those falter impression*
which have teen so incluetrieusly circulated in the country, and
thus render justice to the principles and intentions in which I,
have hitherto acteds I have obtained his Majesty's permis-
sion to return to Europe the a short time, my family effaire-
ateeny:ohief object ineo,doing ; but, you ,may he well assured
:that amidst these, I shall not neglect the public interests. of
.these Prot/1nt1.% Aly return does aot wholly clepced,upon me;
but this I will say, that so lc mg as his Majesty shall be grie
!dimly pleased to, honour ene with the government of this part
of the British domininne,.provided I can see a ray of hope: to
do good by perseverance,, I shnli return ,to my duties twith ehe
