PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT OF LOIVLR

CANADA.

(From the Quebec Gazelle.)
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER. •
Quebec, Nov. 21, 1828

This day, at two o'clock, his Excellency Sic
James Kempt came down in state to the Legislative
Council Chamber, and being seated on the Throne,
the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent
down to the House of Assembly to command - their
attendance before his Excellency; and that House
being come up, the Speaker of the Legislative Conn-
, cil said :

----
Gentlemen of the Assembly,
I am commanded by his Excellency to inform
you that he does not see fit to declare, the causes
for which he has summoned this Provincial Parlia-
mitt until there be a Speaker of the Assembly duly • ,
elected and approved. And lam further commanded ,
to inquire whether you have proceeded to the clec- ,
Lion of a Speaker; and if you have, upon whom
your choice has-fallen.
To which Mr. Papineau replied:—
May it please your Excellency,
In obedience to his Majesty's commands, • the ,
House of Assembly has proceeded to the election •
of a Speaker, and I am the person upon whom their
choice has fallen. I respectfully pray that it may
• please your Excellency to give your approhation to
their choice.
Upon which the Speaker of the Legislative Coun-
cil said—

Mr. Papineau, •
I am commanded by his Excellency .to acquaint
you that he approves. the choice which the Assem-
bly has made of you to be- their Speaker, and, re
lying upon your loyalty, talents, and discretion, he
Both allow and confirm your election.
Mr. Papineau then made the usual claim to the
privileges of the Assembly, to which his Excel-
lency's assent was given in the accustomed form.
His Excellency was then pleased to open t'le
Session with the follpwing speech :-
1 Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,—Gen-
tlemen of the House of Assembly,

His Majesty having been most graciously pleased
to confide to me the Government of this important
Colony, it affords me great satisfaction to meet you.

n Provincial Parliament.

• Placed in a .ituation of so much importance, at a
period of peculiar difficulty, I cannot but feel that
very arduous duties are imposed upon me : duties,
indeed, which I should despair of being able to dis-
charge to the satisfaction of his Majesty, and his
faithful and loyal subjects the inhabitants of this
province, if I did not look forward, with a sanguine
hope, to the enjoyment of your confidence, and your
cordial co-operation in my administration of the Go-
vernment.
Without a good understanding between the diffe-
rent branches of the Legislature, the, public affairs
of the Colony cannot prosper; the evils which are
now experienced cannot be effectually cured ; the
prosperity and welfare of his Majesty's Caoadian
subjects cannot be promoted ; and you may there-
fore, believe that no exertions will be spared on my
part to promote conciliation by measures in which-
the undoubted prerogatives of the Crown and your
Constitutional privileges will be equally respected.
His Majesty's Government has, however, relieved
me from the responsibility attendant upon the mea-
sures to be adopted for the adjustment of the finan-
cial difficulties that have unfortunately occurred ; and
I shall.take an early opportunity of conveying to:you,
by message, a communication ftom his Majesty,
which I have been especially, commanded to make
to you upon the subject of the appropriation of the
Provincial Revenue • _

It will be my duty to lay at the same time before
you the views of his Majesty's Government upon
other topics connected with the Government of this
province, to which the attention of the Ministers of
the Crown has been called: You will see in them
proofs of the earnest desire of his Majesty's Go-
vernment to provide, as far as may be practicable,
an effectual remedy for any case of real grievance;
and you may rely on my affording you every assist-
ance towards the elucidation of any questions which
may arise for discussion in the course of your pro-
ceedings.
Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
I shall direct the Accounts of the Provincial Re-
venue and Expenditure for the last two years to be
laid before you as soon as possible, with every ex-
planation respecting them which it is in my power
to afford you.
Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,—Gentle-
men of the House of Assembly,
Relying on your zeal and diligence in the discharge
of your Legislative duties, I fed persuaded that you
will give your immediate attention to the renewal of
such useful Acts as may have recently expired ; and,
indeed, to all matters of public interest that may
appear to he of pressing necessity and importance.
Possessing, as yet, but an imperfect knowledge of
the great interests of the province, and the wants of
its inhabitants, I refrain, at the present time, from
recommending to you measures of public improve-
ment, which it will be my duty to bring under your
consideration at a future day, In all countr;es, how-
ever, good roads and other internal communications ;
a general system of education, established upon
sound principles; and a well organised efficient Mi-
litia force, are found to be so conducive to the pro-
sperity, the happiness, and the security of their in-
habitants, that I may be permitted to mention them,
at present, as objects of prominent utility.
But an oblivion of all past jealousies and di6sen-
sions is the first great step towards improvement of
any kind ; and, tvlien that is .happily accomplished,
and the undivided attention of the Executive Go-
vernment and the Legislature shall be given to the
advancement of the general interests of the pro-
vince, in a spirit of cordial co-operation, there is no
reason to doubt that Lower Canada will rapidly ad-
vance in prosperity ; and emulate, ere long, the most
opulent and flourishing portions of the North Ame-
rican continent.

Supplementary fizstructions to be considered as
attached to the form of the Confidential Inspection
Report, and which are to bi 7 carefully observed by
the General Officer whenever such inspection shall
take place, and noticed, seriatim, in the 'Table of
General Observations :
When the Regiment, or the Reserve Companies,
are inspected and exercised, the General Officer will
once at least, or oftener, as the occasion may serve,
call upon one of the Captains or Subalterns (pro-
vided the latter shall have been doing duty for a
reasonable period with the corps) to put the Regi-
ment or Companies through their exercise, field
movements, and evolutions; such Captain or Subal-
tern to be selected indifferently, and without' previous
notice given to him or the Commanding Officer, in
order that it may be ascertained whether due atten-
tion has been shewn to the instruction of every
Officer; whether opportunities have been afforded
to him of becoming acquainted with every part of
his duty, and whether he has availed himself of
Ouch opportunities.
The General Officer will charge the Commanding
Officers to 'encourage. the subalterns of their respec-
tive corps to qualify themselves for the duties of
Adjutant, both in the field and in the orderly room,
and to afford to them every facility for acquiring a
competent knowledge of such duties; and it should
be pointed out to them, that by shewing a zealous
desire to render themselves thus useful, they will
strengthen the claim which they may have to ad-
vancement in the service. "

The General Officer will point out to Officers
commanding Regiments and Corps, the necessity
and importance of their requiring Captains and
Subalterns of Companies to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the character, disposition, temper, and
habits, of every Non-commissioned Officer and Sol-
dier of their respective Companies, so as to be able
to answer, at once, and correctly, any questions
which may be addressed to them by their superior-
Officers. This knowledge can only be attained by
unremitted attention to every detail of duty, and by
close observation.
Finally, the General Officer will take every
opportunity of impressing upon the Commanding
Officer, and through him upon those of every rank,
the advantage which they, individually, the corps,
and the service at large, will derive from the adop-
tion towards the non-commissioned officer and
soldier of a system of command and treatment which
shall be free from the coarse and offensive language
too often used in reproving the soldier for trifling
irregularities, or for accidental omissions. They ,
should be told that the use of gross language and
offensive terms, upon any occasion, is not only unbe-
corning their own character and station, as Officers
and Gentlemen, but degrading to the soldier, whereas
it is desirable to keep up in all ranks of the Army
a proper feeling, and high sense of honour, by which
the correct discharge of duty will be best ensured.
The gross abuse which is often lavished on a sol-
dier for a trifling fault, an accidental mistake, or an
unintentional omission, produces irritations or sulk,
and to this cause, more than to any other, may be
traced nets of insubordination, which entail the ne-
cessity of severe punishment. If reproof be neces-
sary, it should be conveyed in such a manner, and in
such terms, as will make a lasting impression, with-
cat hurting the feelings of the individual and lowering
him in his own estimation. The Officers should,
not only themselves, observe this injunction, but they.
ie will
should require it to be observed by the Non-comm
very
is-
sioned Officers, and indeed their exam p
soon have the effect of checking the use of improper
and offensive terms on the part of the Non-commis-
sioned Officers towards the Soldiers. If acts of in-
1
tentional neglect and of insubordination should take
place, although wholly unprovoked by any treatment
received, the means of correction and punishment
which are authorised by the regulations of the ser-
vice must be resorted to, and they will have double
effect if not preceded by coarse and abusive language;
indeed it will probably be found that they will be-
.come comparatively rare, as the duty will be done
snore cheerfully and zealously.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who is at present in
Paris, is busily employed in making the fullest
inquiries into the French law of Imprisonment
for Debt. On Wednesday last the Honour-
able Baronet, accompanied by the Pmcureur
General and other Magistrates, visited the pri-
son of St. Pelagic (the only one for debt in the
French capital), and after listening to the obser-
vations of the Committee chosen by the Debtors
to watch over their interests, proceeded to the
different Chambers, and put numerous questions
to the prisoners individually.

A German Journal states, " that Field Mar-
shal Count WITTGENSTEIN has fallen into dis-
grace, and is to be succeeded in his command
by General PASKEWITCH, whose campaign in
Asia has been more successful than that in Eu-
rope. This change is probably meant to restore
confidence to the army, and to silence its com-
plaints. All the accounts, whether by private
letters or eye-witnesses, state that the losses
of the Russian army, its disorganiza-
tion, and wretchedness, exceed all that
can be imagined from the contents of the
official statements, and the sufferings of the sal.
diers have been nearly as great as those of 'the
French in their retreat from Moscow. It ap-
pears 'that the rumours which had circulated
during the campaign, as to the want of harmony
and union which existed amongst the Chiefs,
were not without foundation."

There is a report circulating in the City that
orders have been sent to Plymouth to stop till

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TIVELVR o'CLocr.

in the absence of intelligence this morning the
English Funds are firm, with a shade higher price.
Consols opened at 87f, and a purchase made by a
Broker, supposed to be connected with the Hebrew
party, at 87, raised them instantly to 871 4 ; the
Commissioners gave 86i for Reduced. India Bonds
and Exchequer Bills are stationary, the former being
70 2 pm., and the latter 69 70 pm.
There is no business at the Foreign Stock Ex-
change, and the prices of the various Stocks remain
nominally at yesterday's quotation, with the exception
of Russian Bonds, which, late in the day, rose to

Lord TENTERDEN—Yon are decidedly wrong,
Mr. Pollock, it has been decided over and. over
again, that the remedy in such cases is against the
auctioneer, and if he has paid the money over to his
employer, he has his redress against him. In this
case it is clear the defendant engaged to sell a free-
hold estate, and the very first deed that was read
sheaved part of it to be leasehold. Under such cir-
cumstances the plaintiff is justified in refusing to
complete the contract, and is entitled to recover the
deposit.
Mr. Pota.ocx--That being your Lordship's opi-
nion, "will not waste the time of the Court, but
submit to a verdict against my client for the amount
sought to be recovered, less the auction duty, which
was not disputed that Mr. Robins had paid, but as
.this was not an action brought against my client for
neglect of duty, there was not a shadow of blame
attempted to he attached upon him. Your Lord-
ship will, therefore, give me liberty to move the
Court on the point of law.
Lord TuNTERDEN---Certainly.
A verdict was then given for the plaintiff for
355/., and three years' interest on that sum.
Mr. PoLLocx.—Perhaps your Lordship will al-
low me to call the attorney for Mr. Robins, to prove
that there is another action against him for this de-
posit, brought by the vendor of the estate, and is
now pending in the Court of Exchequer—leavebeing
given, the Learned Coansel called a 1% itness who
proved that fact.
Lord TENTERDEN.—You have done right in
proving that fact, no man ought to be called upon to
pay twice over.

In this case the plaintiffs had contracted with the
defendants to pull down certain premises situated
near Houtisditch, and build others on the site, for a
stipulated sum. Subsequently alterations were made
in the plan, which increased the expence, and
the present action was brought to recover 15701.
which it was stated arose entirely out of the
directions from the original contract.
It was agreed between Counsel to take a verdict
for the plaintiff for 2,0001. subject to a referenee.

probability, be the last Christmas the public will have an
opportunity of inspecting this unrivalled establishment,
which for so many years has upheld its claim to their kind
patronage, the Proprietor respectfully hopes that he shall
be honoured by an inspection; without fear of contradic-

the Menagerie so complete in all its parts, and he is con-
fident his juvenile friends will experience a great treat..

Before we extol a man for his forgiving tem-

below it.

THE HAITIEN LOAN.—It is well known in
Paris that M. Lafitte, the banker, is the principal pro-
prietor of the Journal du Commerce, as it is also but too
well known to many that he was the Contractor for the
above Loan. The following remarks in Lis own Journal
therefore are viewed with additional importance In
the Council held yesterday, we understand, the affair of
Haiti was discussed with great warmth. It is merely said,
thst the negociations with the Haitian Envoy will be con-
tinued ; but it is not said whether the propositions that
are to be made to him, will come within the limits of the
ability of the Republic. The question, whether the French
Government will or will not expose knit' to a rupture
with Haiti, is absolutely equivalentto the question, whether
it will he satisfied with what Haiti cm pay, or will require

In a late hunt with Mr. Dansey's bounds,
the following singular circumstance occurred :—Mr. P.

Prince Victor Von Metternich, son of the Chan-
cellor, is gone to Rome for the winter. M. Amedee
Jaubert, Interpreter to the French Court, passed
through this city yesterday, coming on his way to
Constantinople with despatches from his Govern-
ment; and a Cabinet Messenger from London has
also set out for the Turkish capital. They are said
to be the hearers of very acceptable proposals for
the renewal of the friendly relations between these
two Courts and the Porte. It is affirmed that, in
the conferences held at London, the boundaries
to Greece have been provisionally fixed, so as
to include the Morea and the Cyclades, but
under the supremacy of the Porte, as expressed
in the Treaty of London. Prince Lieven is said to

On Thursday evening, between four and five,
as Mr. Heather, a gentleman of fortune, residing in the
neighbourhood of the Hackney-road, was passing the end
of James-street on his way home, a fellow who was stand-
ing at the edge of the footpath, snatched his watch from
his fob and ran off. Mr. Heather, the moment he reco-
vered from the surprise occasioned by the sudden 'attack,
raised a cry of " Stop thief," and the robber was pursued
by several persons in the direction which he had taken
across the fields. The watch and its case, which had se-
parated from it, were picked up in the pursuit, and a young
fellow named George King was apprehended on the spot by
John Vann and another of the Bow-street patrol. The
prisoner was recognised as one of the well-known gang who
have for some years past infested the neighbour hood of
Bethnal-green, and was said to bee relative of a young man
named King, who was executed for a participation in some
of the daring outrages committed by the gang. The pri-
soner was yesterday committed to take hie trial for the
. robbery.

IMPROVEMENT IN WRITING.—Mr. Dolier's
late invention, whereby the learner in writing may acquire
a fine and regular hand, in the shortest possible time, is
the ablest we have yet seen. it consists of a copy-book,
ruled with reeved lines, which mark the proper width
and inclination of the letters, the distance of which ought
to stand between them, the points where the hair-strokes
ought to commence, and the fitting length, &c. of the
down-strokes. So popular has this new system already
become, that it has received, we understand, the approba-
tion of the Military School at Cheleaa.
