.THE CANNDAS

The following Extract from the Quebec Ga-
zette, of the c 2 Ist of September last, exhibits the
opinions, and at the same time the feelings, of
our fellow-subjects in the Colonies :

" The French War of 1792, gave us an ex-
port of Grain to Great Britain ; the shutting of
the Baltic gave us the Lumber Trade ; the Ame-
rican Embargo, the American War, and the im-
mense demand- which it occasioned for Colonial
labour and produce, enabled us to extend our
consumption of British Merchandize beyond any
former, precedent. if -irett."-F6rnings- were c.na
depable, very little remained with us. They, for
the most part, went to
.Great Britain. If we
built ourselves. fine houses, we took special care
to cover their .roofs with British tin ; to provide
ourselves with an abundance of windows, which
were supplied with the most costly British glass ;
outside and inside there was.a profusion of Bri-
tish paint ; all our furniture, all our ornaments,
must be British. Our meat was roasted on Bri-
tish spits, turned by British jacks, perhaps before
a British coal fire, served on British tables,
dishes, British linen, and ate with British
knives and forks ; our very bremi and pastries
were made in British moulds. Our wine came
to us only through British channels, was Poured
out of British double-flint cut decanters, into
glasses.of the same description ; and we toasted
the British King, the -British Army and Navy,
and went to rest on British bedsteads, in British
sheets and British blankets, and rose up to be
covered- entirely with British clothing.. Even our
furs and peltries must be sent home to England
to become British. Our books and our paper,
and the—quills with whieli we wrote, were 13ri-
tish.

" From the splendid dwelling in our cities, to
the log habitation of twelve feet square, where
the first settler shews the labour, the privations,
and the suffering- which must have been endured,
to give this goodly country its present cheerful
aspect, and moderate degree of comfort, all is
British; save our meat and our bread, our fruit
and our roots, our stone and our wood, a few
articles of coarse clothing made in our families,
and some stoves and pots manufactured at the
King's Iron-works at St. Maurice. If all that is
Brit* celld be taken away from us at once, we
should behouseles,s, naked, and _hungry ; our
condition would be worse than that of the savage,
for he- can endure the intemperance of the wea-
ther, or build him a but ; he can snare the beasts
of the forest, clothe himself with their skins, and
feed himself with their flesh ; he can make him-
self bows and arrows for his defence, and beat
out the brains of his enemies with a war-club. We
should, indeed, be in a worse condition than the
savage, if it were possible, allat once, to take away
from us all that is British, and leave us no substi-
tute. This, however, is not possible. But we shall
retrograde to a state worse than that of the
savage, in proportion as the supplies we want
from Britain and British possessions are taken
away ; and they will, in great Fart, be taken
away, or what is the same thing, our stock will
wear out, be consumed, and disappear, and not
be replaced, if we have not the means of procur-
ing a fresh Supply. We all know that we have
hitherto been supplied, in exchange, fin- our la-
bour, or the produce of our labour. The advo-
cates of the new regulations, which are to destroy
our lumber trade, are about to say to us : You
must come to our shop, you must travel in our
carriages, and pay us for conveyance ; you must
buy our goods, or want : We have now no longer
occasion_ for any thing that you can supply us

A French Mail arrived at a late hour last night,
bringing Paris Papers to the 19th inst. It is stat-
ed that the object of the Allied Sovereigns in re-
questing all the Italian Courts to send Ministers to
the Congress at Laybach, is to deliberate on the,
best means to secure the whole •of Italy from
any ulterior shock. In the mean time, with the
permission of his HOLINESS, a division of the
Austrian Army in Italy, 30,000 strong, has receiv-
ed orders to take an advanced position in 'the
Papal States, in order to give more weight to the
negotiations of the Congress. It would seem by
the accounts from Naples and Vienna, as if both
the Neapolitans and Austrians were of opinion,
that the conferences at Laybach would not have
a pacific termination, forthe most active measures
are taken by each party in anticipation of a war.
The Emperor of Austria had arrived at Laybach,
and the King of Naples was expected there on
the 7th or Bth of this month. The h►ng of Prus-
sia was still at Berlin on the 6th, and it was not
known at that date when he would proceed to
the Congress. Count Stackelberg, the Russian
Minister at the Court of Naples, has been re-
called.

The French Chamber of Deputies was occupied
on the 17th in ball-offing for Commatees, to whom
were referred the examination of several private
Bills, orProjets A Loa. Among the-Petitions which
will be reported to the Chamber on the 18th, is
one from General S.tnaitzis, 'who complains of
1..,1ng boon illogaily tried (LW-1 c0r,"3"41) 6.”, a
peals against the sentence passed on him. The
Budget for the present year, brought forAard by
the French Minister of Finance on the 16th,
states, that the total of 'the public income, after
a proposed abatexnent in the land-tax and other
contributions, to the amount of 17,431,570 f., is
estimated at 885,021,745 1., and the expenditure
at 882,237,374 f. ; leaving a surplus in the re-
ceipts of 5,694,371 f. This surplus comprises a
sum of • 4,458,724 f., remaining disposable from
the service of 1819 ; to which was to be added a
further saving upon the estimates of last year.

New York Papers to the 26th ult., inclusive,
reached town this morning. The Commercial
Advertiser of the last date contains the following
articles :

CC LATE FROM AFRICA.-The United States'
ship Cyane, Captain TRENCHARD, from Sierra
Leone, arrived below yesterday morning. The
Cyane left the Coast on the 97th of OctOber.—
To the politeness of an Officer, who came up.
this morning, we are indebted for the following
intelligence :—The per Sons who went out in the
ship Elizabeth-, as settlers, were in a state of great
confusion, owing, it is said, to several of them
having refused to work, and their provisions be-
ing nearly all gone. Mr: D.l:,gEr. COKER, the
acting Agent, had been compelled to leave his
charge, and was on board a schooner, where he
intended to remain until he received advices from
the United States. No land had yet been granted
to the emigrants, and it was uncertain whether
they would obtain any. Mr. CoKER bad been
informed that a Palaver would be held to dispose
of lauds to his people. Previously to the time
appointed by the Agent and the Chiefs, a feW
intriguing mon got into their possession the goods
intended for the purchase of land, and by this
measure defeated the object-of Mr. COKER, these
men refusing to deliver up the property. The
British Government had offered them to settle at
Cape Shilling, and it was supposed they• would
accept the offer.
• " The British gun brig Snapper, Capt. NASH,
went into Rio Pungas, about the Ist of October,
to examine a vessel in that place ; and while in
the act of going on board, was attacked by the

natives: 1L midshipman and six men were killed,
a .few were taken, and the remainder of the boat's
crew 'escaped over land to Sierra. Leone. A sloop
of ivar, a gun brig, and a detachment Of trooi:s
were immediately sent froni the I..att'orplace7 to

perintend the.sarrie ; and resolving, also, as a tes-

timony of respect for the. memory of the deceas-
ed, to go into mourning, and wear a black Crape
