bught to be considered as final for the periods which yr stye.;

" That this House has no reason to believe that *any such ra•

" Tnat from the date of the last agreement in 1817, to the Ist
of Jule, 1819, when the said agreement expired, the proportion
of goods, water, and merchandize, imported into Lower Canada,
and consumed in Upper Canada, bad materially diminished.
" That the proportion of the said goods, wares, and merchan-
dize, consumed in Upper Canada, between the Ist of July, 1819,
and the Ist of July, '2l, has still further diminished.
•‘ Th it no means having been taken on the part of the Pro-
vince of Upper Canada, subsequently to the Ist of July, 1819,
the date of the expiration of the last agreement, to ascertain the
qu unity of goods charged with duty in Lower Canada, and In-
tro:l:iced fur consumption into UpperCauada, the only practicable
inlclu which remained of ascertaining the same, Was that adopted
itt order to determine the amount of duties to be allowed to
Upper Canada at the time of the conclusion of the first agree-
run, viz. in 1795 ; and that the refusal, in the first instance, on
the part of the Commissioners of Upper Canada, to avail them-
salves of the facilities afforded for that purpose at the late con-
ference, and afterwards their declining to act on the documents
which had been collected, without pointing out any other mode
cf ohtaining the requisite information, manifested, on the part of
the s.iid Commissiurcrs of Upper Canada, no desire to come to
3:i equitable arrangement of the existing difficulties."
