THE TEXAS AND THE CANADAS.

(From an American Paper. )
We are strongly inclined to the opinion, that
it is the duty of the United States to make the
acquisition of the Texas, if it can be done
peaceably and on reasonable terms. We believe
that it can be done peaceably, from various
considerations, on which we will not now
dwell ; and we should be disposed to be very
liberal in estimating the reasonableness of
the terms of the negociation. We should con-

sider Texas, at least, at desirable an acquisition
as Florida, and be willing to pay as much for it.
`We think that the Rio del Norte is pointed out
by Providence, as the true south-western boun-

dry of the United States.
But in rounding out the Republic in that
direction, it is impossible not to feel the desir-
ableness of an amicable union with our neigh-
bours on the opposite quarter. We think that
a peaceable junction with the United States of
the British provinces in our neighbourhood, is

more strongly indicated by every principle o

high policy and sound national expediency. A
good part of their population has emigrated from
the United States. Of the residue, the English
portion is of course more closely allied to us, by
kindred and language, than the people ofTexas,
while the happy union with us of the French
Colonies of the South, points to a not less har-
monious connection of the Canadian French on

he North. It is impossible to peruse the do

pent appeals of the Congress of 1774, to the
citizens of Canada, without feeling that we
ought to be one people. So intimately per-
suaded were our fathers of this, that provision

was made in the articles of confederation for the
accession of Canada to the Union, whenever the
people of that province should desire it. No-
thing but this union promises an amicable ad-
justment of our present differences with Great
Britain, relative to the navigation of the St.
Lawrence, the North-eastern boundary of the
United States, and the mouth of the Colombia
river. A war, which will cost each of the Go-
vernments one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars, besides the precious blood of thousands
of our fellow men, will take place sooner or
later, to settle these questions, if they are not
evioudy settled, as they may be, in an ami-
cable manner, to time advantage and happiness of
all parties. . - _

The great discontents existing in the British
Provinces, furnish a strong reason why the Bri-
tish Government should agree to relinquish its
jurisdiction over them. The Government Papers
in Quebec say, that Upper Canada is in a state
of revolution, and Lower Canada is, we believe,
quite as uneasy. This is a state of things which
the British Government, in the present prospect
of a general European war, cannot contemplate
with satisfaction.
As for the Colonies themselves, they would
doubtless embrace with eagerness the opportu-
nity of joining our Union, as free, sovereign,
and independent States. Their grievances
would be instantly redressed ; or rather, would
cease, in the course of nature, to exist. They
could form Four States, with great convenience
of natural or well-established boundaries, and
would send eight Senators and thirty Repre-
sentatives to Congress.
_ _

As it is now an admitted maxim in Govern
merit, that the will of the people is the ultimate
law, and as the Canadians possess the same po-
litical rights, which freemen any where and
every where possess, and have lately shown that
they both know and dare assert their rights, we
should not be surprised if a beginning were
made by them, in their primary assemblies, as
recommended by the Congress at Philadelphia
in 1774, of renouncing their subjection to the
British Government, and inviting a union with
the Republic. It is unnecessary to say they
would he cordially received by the people of the
United States, to a full participation of our
blessings and privileges.
At the same time, however, it is to be wished
that nothing should be done to irritate the
British Government. The liberal party, so
called in England (though perhaps not more
liberal than the ministerial party in reference to
foreign politics), has generally avowed the opi-
nion, that it was not for the interest of Great
Britain, to insist on retaining the Government of
the North American colonies. The ministerial
party do not go farther than to maintain the
duty of protecting these colonies. This duty
of course terminates, whenever the colonies
cease to desire the protection of Great Britain.
As the commerce of the United States is
vastly more important to Great Britain, than all
their contributions as colonies to the Treasury
of time mother country ; so the trade of Great
Britain and the West Indies with the four Pro-
vinces, would no doubt rapidly increase after
they should become independent members of our
confederation, and be of much greater conse-
quence to England than it is at present.
Although these considerations furnish ample
ground why Great Britain should see her inte-
rest in renouncing her sovereignty over these
Colonies, without any further inducement, yet
as an indemnity for the valuable public domains,
c ontained within their limits, the United States
would cheerfully pay liberal pecuniary equivalent.
Flow devoutly is it to be wished, that an ar-
rangement so honourable and advantageous to
all parties may be made. We do not despair
that the c Duncils of Great Britain may be wise
enough to accede to it. In the Canadas we
discern a spirit ardently tending to it. 'The
United States are ripe for it ; and
-we should joy-

gully learn, that our new Minister to London
was provided with instructions to effect it.
Thus, during the life-time of the venerable
survivor of the signers of the Declaration'of In-
dependence, might be effected a measure, which
engaged him in a delicate mission to Canada in
early life, and 53 years ago received the sanction
of Carroll.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1829.

The KING will 1101 d a Council, at 'Windsor
Castle, next week, at which the RECORDER of
LONDON will make his report of the convicts
under sentence of death in Newgate.

St. Petersburgh Papers of the 10th November,

inform us that the treaty of peace will be pub-
lished immediately after the receipt of news that
the ratifications have been exchanged. Count
PASKEWITSCII has addressed an order of the
day to his army, in which he conveys to them
the EMPEROR'S thanks :

TIFLIS, OCT. IG.

Count Paskewitsch Erivansky has addressed ..to
the troops of the corps under his command the fol-
lowing order of the day, dated Erzeroum;Sept. 18 :
" Your military deeds, brave soldiers, have been
honoured by the regard of our most gracious Sove-
reign, in a manner surpassing all your expectations.
I do not speak of myself; there are no words to
express my feelings for the favours of our most
august Monarch. To you, comrades, he equally
directs his paternal regard, enjoining me, in his
autograph letter, to say Declare to the troops my
entire satisfaction and gratitude ; their conduct after
the victory is as agreeable to me as the most gluri-
ous exploits.' Soldiers, these are the words of your
Emperor. What reward do you place above this ?"
I'ETERSBURGII, NOV. 9.

We learn by letters lately received from the
head-quarters at Adrianople, that the ratification of
the treaty of peace by the Sultan had been received
there. As soon as we shall be informed that it has
been exchanged for that of his Majesty the Emperor,
which must by this time have reached that city, we
shall immediately communicate the treaty to our
readers, which, according to the established custom,
cannot be published till after the exchange of rati-
fications.

The Prussian Stale Gazette, received this
morning, contains accounts of some slight skir-
mishing that took place between some Albanians
belonging to the Pacha of Scutari and the troops
of General G EISMA it, but a good understand-
ing was soon produced. The news from Greece
is of the usual character. The following are

extracts :

FRONTIERS OF TURKEY,

There has been an unexpected rencontre between
the troops of General Geismar and those of the
Pacha of Scutari. The former, who was ordered
to observe the Paella's motions, learned that he in-
tended to march towards Adrianople, and resolved
therefore to advance from Wrazza to Sophia. On
the third day he fell in, near Arnaut-Kalessi, with a
corps of 1,700 Albanians, who had taken up a
strong position, and entrenched themselves with
three pieces of cannon. A flag of truce sent by
General Geismar, to require a free passage, was re-
ceived with a discharge of musketry, on which the
Albanians prepared to make an attack, the result of
which was that they suddenly abandoned the posi-
tion, leaving their guns behind. General Geismar
forbid his troops from pursuing the enemy in their
flight, and even allowed their baggage to follow them
without obstruction. The Pacha of Scutari, on in-
forming the Turkish Plenipotentiaries of this event,
repeated the assurance of his peaceable intentions,
and entreated that the advance of General Geismar
might be suspended, which was accordingly done
by order of Count Diebitsch. At the same time
General Geismar received orders to return to the
Pacha the three cannon, and whatever else the Tusks
had lost. flappily this affair coat little blood on
either side, and tranquillity is fully restored.
We have received the following particulars of the
troubles that have occurred in the vicinityof Smyrna.
For about two months past the inhabitants of the
province of Nasli had been provoked to the utmost
by contributions which the tax-gatherers increased
at their own pleasure. At length they rose against
the Magistrates, drove them away as well as the
tax-gatherers, and placed an individual named Kiel
Mehmed Zeibeek at the head of the Adtninistra-
Con. This person being of an enterprising charac-
ter, has already made great progress, and finds every
where new adherents. At the same time he recom-
mends moderation, protest• that he by no means re-
volts against the Sultan, but has taken arms against
his Ministers only, who use their power to op-
press the poor, and that his sole object is to replace
the taxes on their ancient footing. lie has already
made himself maser of the towns of Aidin, Ghiusel-
hisser de Tire, and Baindar Capaba, the Magis-
trates of which have fled and retired to Smyrna.
Considering the spirit that prevails there, Kiel Nleh-
med, if he should advance so far, will meet with no
opposition, and be able to get possession of the city
without obstacle.
The Courrier de Smyrne contains news from the
island of Candia of 2d and 9th October :
The news of the treaty of peace rapidly spread
among the Greeks, who looked for it to be able to
judge of their future destiny. The accounts from

Egina are not favourable, and the insurgents see
that it is possible that Crete may remain subject to
Turkey : however, they expect supplies of men
and money from the Government. Governor
Hann has withdrawn to Carabusa.
In the district of Apokorna there have been dis-
turbances among the Greeks, in consequence of
which the Sphakiots burnt two villages. The crop
of olives has failed entirely. The thirty Deputies
sent from Crete to Argos have returned with forty
horses, which were landed at Kissamos. The
Greeks have spread a report that Suleiman Paella
has orders from the Sultan to massacre all the Greeks,
except children under seven years of age.
Between the 20th and 25th Oct. some Sphakiots
came to the village of Samaparoli, to carry off a Greek
girl, whose brothers opposed them with arms, and
killed one of them, on which a number of their ad-
herents assembled and set fire to the village. Mr. H.,
a rich English gentleman, who in the first year of
the Greek insurrection, was making a scientific
tour in Egypt, happened to be at Cairo, when a
Greek girl from Candia nine years of age, was of-
fered for sale. Mr. H. bought the child, sent her to
England, had her educated with great care, and when
she had attained the age of fifteen married her. On
the 7th September, Mr. H. with his young wife ar-
rived here from Malta, and went to her na-

tine place in the interior of the island, to let
her parents take part in her good fortune;
they were not a little astonished to see their
daughter, after a separation of nine years, as a lady
of consequence, dressed like a Princess, and sur-
rounded with servants, but refused, however, to ac-
company her. The Greek Revolution affords
many such episodes, which would furnish pleasing
subjects for the drama. History will one day collect
these pleasing traits of European philanthropy and
generosity.

The following are extracts from Dutch Papers
of the 25th November, received this morning :

THE HAGUE, NOV. 24.

We hear that the discussions on the decennial
budget in the sections:of the Second Chamber are so
far advanced that their remarks may be soon com-
municated to the Government.
Prince Albert of Prussia will leave us this week to

burgh.

The French Papers supply us with little news,

In Paris there are rumours without end as to
the further changes in the French Ministry.
Those who think that the Cabinet will be able to
keep itself together till the meeting of the Ses-
sion, are busy in conjecturing who the indivi-
duals are that are destined by Prince PouGAAc
for Under Secretaris of State.

By advices from Tangiers we learn that public
rejoicings had taken place to celebrate a victory
obtained by the EMPEROR over the Tribes of
Szays, which had revolted in the environs o f
Rabat. Twenty-five heads had been struck off
and conveyed to Fez.

Lord MouNTcAsnEr. has written another
long letter to the Bishop of FERNS, which wil
he found in The Sun of this day. Its length
precludes any observation.

CITY. Tvrwr o'CL•cr.

The facility with which the Conant account passed off
yesterday excited the hopes of the party acting for the rise,
who, towards the afternoon appeared in the market as
buyers for the January opening, the 20th, and gave a
fresh impulse to Consols of i per cent. ; they opened this
morning at 93i- 3 fur Looney, and 933 91 for January,
without any apparent business; hut the market, about
eleven o'clock, became very tirm, buyers, at 933 for money
and 91 for the opening. The general aspect of the market
is decidedly favourable to the hopes of the Bull party.
The paying and receiving accounts goes off well to the
present hour.
In the Foreign market Greek Stock improves.
