THE COLONIES,

NOVA SCOTIA'.

(Newspapers to the 15th Sept. last.)

NoVa•ScoTta —We do not like to hear this
Province spoken of as bleak and barren ; or its
buibandmen abused as being a set of lazy, in-
dolent fellows ; which is sometimes done by
persons Who 'should take care to be better in-
formed, previons lying their opinion. Language
of this •kind, arising 'merely from unfounded pre-
judice, may' have led Government into the
dgregious error Of preferring Bermuda, " walled
with rocks," to this. important :Colony, the key
of British North America. Without exploring
the interior,' 'to ascertain` the fertility of the soil,
or the,salubrily of the climate, the-statement of
a' few wellittitswn facts' will sufficiently prove
the fallacy ,of such. idle 'and' Mischievous reports.
—ft is line;"that sti early a5;1749 a few settlers
came over, under the auspices of Lord Halifax;
hut not until the ratification, of the Treaty of
1763 could the Province be fairly considered as
a permanent British establishment. At the con•
elusion of the American Revolutionary War but
little progress had been made, we believe, in :agri-
cultural pursuits ; and, from 1783 to 1793, great
numbers of cattle, sheep, &c. were imported from
the American, States. Subsequent to this last
mentioned period, our markets began to be too
well stocked to give encouragement to: foreign
importations.
In 1602, a squadron, consisting of five heavy
ships of the line, several frigates and smaller ves-
sels, under the then Commodore Boynton, came,
quite unexpectedly, into this harbour from the
West Indies, literally in want of every thing.
The ships were completely supplied with every
requisite from his Majesty's Naval Yard—the offi-
cers and men (exceeding 4000), with abundance of
excellent vegetables and fresh provisions of the
very beat quality, from our markets ; and the crews,
who arrived here in a jaded and sickly state, quite
renovated within a few weeks, put to sea again
in high glee and spirits. It is well known that
the extensive supplies thus promptly furnished on
the spur of lime moment, did not raise the price of
butcher's meat to the inhabitants one farthing in
the pound. From that time, not only were the
different Garrisons, Out-posts, and frequently
numerous,' Prisoners of War, supplied with excel-
lent fresh Beef, at a very low rate, but his Majes-
ty's ships and vessels, amounting sometimes to
nearly 100 sail,bearing pendants,with every species
of produce requisite for their health and comfort,
equal in quality, and lower- in' price, we think,
than could, at the same time, have been purchased
in England.—These facts speak' 'tor themselves ;
and they are too well known to admit of iefute-
titsn . And this 'is the. Naval 'Station, and 'this
the Province, against which The Bermudas are 'to
be put in competition !

LAIMACLE verybandsome subscrip-
tion, amountiug to nearly 2501. cuit'eucy, has
been raised at Fredericton, New Brunswick,
for the purpose of assisting a number of Welsh
Families. in forming a Settlement between the
Madame Keswick and the Nash,sack, to be called
the Cardigan Settlement.—A person acquainted
with the construction of the log-houses has been
employed to assist them—a quantity of balk has
been procured, and other preparations made to
commence building immediately.
A light-house has lately been erected on Cran-
berry Island near Cape Canso, which will he
lighted the first day of November next : the
light-house from the base to the vane is seventy-
tour feet high ; the spot on which it stands is
fourteen feet above the sea level (high water
spring titles) consequently its •ane is eighty-eight
feet above the level of the sea. The light will be
visible from every point of the compass, and to dis.
tingaish it from Sambro' Light-house, a light
will be exhibited in a bow-window. about twenty-
five feet below the lantern ; so that the ships
coming in from sea and seeing a small light be-
low time high one, will imme lia cly know it to he
Cranberry Island Light-house, and may either
shape their course along the shore, or for the
Got of Canso.—The following bearings and dis-
