The Capitals are divided into so many Shares,
rand. gone to such-an immense number of places,
that they are too numerous to specify particulars ;
but after the Lottery is over, T. BISH will state
where they have been sold, and he hopes to add
the remaining Two.of 30,0901., and. other Capi-
tals, to his already splendid List.
The fortunate Holders may. receive their money
on demand, on application at BISH'S Offices, 4,
Cornhill, or 9, Charing-Cross ; and those per-
sons entitled to the Wine may order it of any
merchant they think proper, and T. ,Litsti will im-
mediately discharge the. bill for the same.
The last day will be Thursday 'the 9th of April,
when the Two- Prizes of 30,0001.', and 35 ocher
Capitals, which yet remain in the Wheel, must be
drawn

provisions, it is observed, may he reoired to
carry his Royal Highness's intention into effect.
It then informs them, that the provisional agree-
ment entered into by the Commissioners for both
the Canadas, relative to the revenue, and the ac-
counts of last year's, expenditure, and the esti-
mates of the current year, would De laid before
them.. Their attention is directed to the great
benefit likely to result to tlie province' front the

emigration front this country, countenanced by
his Majesty's Government ; anti the expediency is
suggested of assisting the emigrants, by providing
the means of defraying the expences of the loca-
tion and grant of lands bestowed on them. The
measures adopted by the executive, to prevent the
Americans from settling in Upper Canada, and
the general system upon which the concerns of
that province arc administered, are strongly re-
probated in an address to theland-owners by Mr.
R. Gout.lay, who recently emigrated from this
country. He urges them to petition. the Legisitt.•
tore upon the subject,..and supplies them with a
.form to the following effect :
That God has given to the people of Lipper Canada•, for
au inheritance, one. of the fairest portions glohe ; that
Upper Canada is subject to the mildest INl,:narch upon the
earth, and fortes part of that nation, which, fin wi,dom and
power, has outshone every other; that, • neverth,less,. this
province, so happily circumstanced, is in a state of waste
and decay ; that there must Ijp some great cause or causes
Which produce effects so ciniatural. Your petitionet s,'t here-
.fore, most earnestly entreat ycur Hon. Av-nibly to mote se-
rious inquiry into the same, and take effectual steps towards
promoting the prosperity of the province., and your Neti•
tiOners shall ever pray."

Quebeb Papers have arrived to the 13th ult.—
:They are chiefly fillet! with the proceedings in the
Nouse of Assembly of Lower Canada. On the
22d of January, the House went into a Commit-
tee on a•Bill for renewing the gt•aot to his Ma-
jesty of a duty of Viper •cent. on all merchanflize
imported. Several Members, inch,tling' the
Speaker, argued io favour of the propos,.!l ;irarit,
and. none exprussed at:y tisscnt from the mea-
sure. There seems to be an unanimous disposi-
tion in the Assembly to relieve the Mother Coun-
try from the expence of the civil government of
the province. Upon the supposition of the pro-
posed grant being continued, one Member esti-
mated the revenue at 80,0001 and :he expendi-
ture at 60,0001. affording an .annual snrplus of
20,0001. applicable, under a vote of the Legisla-
ture, to the promotion of the internal prosp rity
of the country, by opening nets roads, cons: nict-
lug bridges, forming canals, &c. The Speaker,
in the course of his observations on the Bill, drew
a most flattering picture of•the acinal state of the
province, and particularly directed the attention
of the House to the bright prospect of augment-
ed prosperity, arising from its being necessarily
the commercial entrepot for the immense tert,ito.
ries, British and American, on both sides of the
Lakes, the cultivation of which was making. the
most rapid progt%..ss. Ile stared that the people
of Canada paid fewer imposts than any other ci-
vilized people on earth; and nine-tenth's of the
amount were paid at a single port of entry, In
adhering to the existing system of taxation, they
would have to maintain only a small number of
custom-1106Se officers, instead of a host of ex-
cisemen.

To prevent the inconvenience resulting
to mercantile ,speculations, from a fluctuating sys-
tern of import duties, he 'suggested the- Apediency
of at once prolonging the .grant for four years.—
This proposition was assented to, and the Bill
went through the Committee. •The,same day, a
Bill for ratifying the articles of agreement rela-
tive to _duties between Upper and Lower Canada
W4ll read a second time.

By these last advices, it appears that Sir John.
Sherbrooke was much better:in his health. Thit
a Commission was gone out to found the Col-
lege, for which the late Mr. M‘Gill had bequeathed
10,0001. and that the province was expecting in-
structions to be sent out to the Governor to ren-
der available to site Protestant. Clergy of the. C-
olony, the proportions of lite Land allotted to
them under the Grants of the Crown, of which
hitherto
.they had not received the benefit.—
That the Mercantile' Interests fully belie,ed their
application to the Ministers would prevent any
alteration in the Wood Duties in this Country,
and that the instructions sent out last year to
prohibit importations from the United States by
the inland Navigations, would be withdrawn, and
every encourt;ement given to a trading inter-
course with all the Countries of tie Interior.—
That the population of -both Provinces was great-
ly increasing, and if it pleased the Almighty to
bless them with a fine harvest, the most beneficial
consequences would result from their improved
conditiou.
