regiments cf cavalry to send agents to Russia to Fur-
chase horses, because the army is to be complete by the

having caused the disasters of the Russian army,hy not
tut nishing the provisions required, set out for St. Peters.

The plague %laity mends its ravages, not only in the
city. but iss the surrounding country. On the 18th
above 40 cannon passed Ursiezeny : they were dr.twii
by oxen, which had been required from the inhabitant ;
the drivers said that they had teen obliged to bury 20
pieces on the road for want of cattle to draw them.a-
Ear ge bodies of Infantry have lately nterthed to Jassy,
but we have not, yet .seen any cavalry. at Mist' ia. The
cannonade still continued, bet faintly, on the 18th,
because a cerise of observation of 5 000 or 6 000 men
was left befuie the fortress to cover the retreat. Count
Langeron returned from Siliatia to this place two days
ago, With a great number of Generals anal Staff-officers.
A letter from Jassy says that Count Wittgenstein ar-
rived in that city aWI his Staff on the evening of the
20,h. Tire other Generals who have command are
.also expected at Jassy, to be present at a Council of
war which is to be held there.
As all tt e magazines in Wallachia are exhau ted,
and as the Ross;an army is sill 80,000 strong, only
30,001 or 40,000 will remain in this province during the
waver ; the remainder will be cannoned partly in M -
ravia, and partly in R:ssarahia. However, our cr u irry
,s so exhausted, thit it w 11 not he able to maintain, by
its own resources, as orders lave been given, such a
number a f troops wirhoat running the risk of famine.

Poll ing Speech :
" Gentlemen of the Legialative Council,
" Gentlemen or the House of Assembly,
" His Majesty having been graciously pleased to con-
file to me the Government of this important Colony,
it affords me great satistacti .n to meet you in Provin-
cial Patti sineot.
g. Placed in n situation of S 3 much importance, al a
period of peculiar difficulty, I cannot but feel that very
arduous duties are imposed upon me ; duties, indeedel
which 1 should despair of being able to discharge 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 Government.
4' Without a good understanding between the dif-
ferent brar:ches of the Legislature, the public affairs of'.
he Colony cannot prosper ; the evils which are now
experienced cannot be effectually cured; the prosperity''
and welfare of his Majesty's. Canadian subjects cannot
be piumoted ; and you may therefore believe, that no
exertions shall be spared, on my part, to promo.e con•
ciliation by nsea,ures, in which the undoubted prero-
gatives of the Crown, and your constitutional privileges,
will be equally respected.
44 His Majesty's Government has, however, relieved
me from the responsibility attendant upon any measures
to be adopted for the adjustment of the financial diffi-
culties that have unfortunately occurred, and I shall
take an early opportutity d conveying to you by mes-
sage a communication from his Majesty, which I have
been specially commanded to make to you, upon the
subject of the appropriation of the provincial revenue.
4' it %%ill 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 Government 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 assistance towards the elucidation of any
questions which may arise for discussion in the course
of your proceedings.
" Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" I shall direct the accounts of the provincial revenue
and expenditure for the last two years to be laid before
you as soon as possible, with every explanation respect
ing them which it is in my power to afford you.
64 Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and
" Gentlemen of the Howe of Assembly,
*66 Relying on your nerd and diligence in the dis-
charge of your Legislative duties, I feel persuaded that
you will give your immediate attention to the renewal
