'ew Brunswick Papers to the 9th of May arrived
this forenoon. The Legislature of Lower Canada
was prorogued on the 17th of 'March to the 26th of
April. We regiet to observe from the Speech deli-
vered on the occasion by the Governor, the Earl of
Dattrousiis, that the Assembly had not acquitted
itself to his Grace's satisfaction. The grounds of re-
proach are apparently not ill-founded; they are, at
least, expressed in sensible and temperate terms. The
following is his Grace's Speech :
" Gentlemen 9f the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the
House of .Isa:mbly,
Although I cannot by any means express my satisfaction In
the general result of your deliberations, yet it is with great plea-
sure I acknowledge your assiduous and zealous attendance in the
discharge of your public duties, during the long and laborious
Session which I am now to close."
•
" Gentlemen if the Ilouse of .datendsly,
" I thank you, in his Majesty's name, for those supplies which
have been granted, by bills of appropriation; and assure yOu of
my best attention in the application of them to the purposes for
which they are intended.
" I exceedingly regret that the expectations of his Majesty,
which, by his command, I had the honour to express to you at
the opening of this Session, have not been realized."
" Gcatkinen of the Legislative Council, and Goodrum% of the
House of Assembly,
" When this Parliament met for the dispatch of public busi-
ness, I did entertain a hope that the experience of the last few
years would have led you to a mature and serious consideration
of the consequences that would inevitably • follow, if the then
state of things should not be remedied; you cannot, therefore,
be surprised that I should now express not only my disappoint-
ment, but great concern, that the same question of Constitutional
principle should have again disturbed the unanimity of your
legislative proceedings. Upon this occasion I think it a duty
which I owe to you and to your country, to call upon you to
consider, during this summer, the result of the discusions.of
the Session in all its bearings.
" You will see the administration of the Civil Government left
without any pecuniary means but what I shall advance upon my
own personal responsibility; you will see individuals siiffering
under severe and unmerited hardships caused by the want of
that constitutional authority that is necessary for the payment
of the expenses of the Civil Government. You will see the in-
terior improvements of the country nearly at a stand—you will
see, in short, the Executive Government in a manner Palsied
and powerless. When I shall again summon you to meet here
in Parliament, you will come to decide the important question,
whether the Government shall be restored to its constitutional
energy, or whether you are to deplore the prospect of lasting
misfortune, by a continuance in the present state of things? Im-
portant as that question is, there can be no difficulty in the deci-
sion. When ti* blessings of the British Constitution were
grunted to this Province, you received with it the recorded ex-
perience of CCIMACS of practice. There is no question of doubt
or difficulty that may not find its precedent in the records of the
hyper-jai Parliament; and I cannot think that any wiser guide
need be desired."

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this forenoon.
Letters received from Naples state, that eight thou-
iand Austrians had embarked for Sicily.
Of the Greek Insurrection there is no want of ac-
counts, but they are chiefly old reports in a new
shape, with such additions as they may be supposed
to have acquired in the course of tale-telling. The
following are the only new particulars which we have
met with. The Isle of Cyprus, hitherto remarkable
for its fidelity to the Porte, has become the scene of
some serious disorders.. The Arnauts in the Army
of the PACUA of the Morea have deserted him, and
gone over to the Greeks. The Ex-Grand Vizier, Au
ItutzA, who had been exiled to Gallipoli, is named
to the command of the Turkish troops destined to act
against the Insurgents of the Morea.

A Wu! from Flanders arrived this forenoon, with
P.tyers to the Sth inst. The following are extracts:

LILLF, JUNE 3.

At a moment when all the rowers of the North of
Europe have formidable armies on foot, and which
are even disproportioned to their population and their
revenue, France has not an army which she can
shew with confidence either to her friends or to her
enemies: it is even doubtful whether it will be com-
plete on the peace establishment by the end of this
year. The only corps which have attained their full
compliment are—the Royal Gt&rd, and Swiss Regi-
ments, forming together a total of 10,000 men, and
the legions of the Prince of Hohenlohe, composed of
2,400 men : all the other corps of the army, artil-
lery, cavalry, and infantry, are very far from being
on the footing fixed by the Ordinances.—Since the
events of the month of August last, many Officers who
were in active service have been placed on half-pay;
and a great number of subalterns, the term of whose
service was expired, have asked their discharge.
The levy of 40,000 men, which is now going on, is
indeed to serve to fill up the regiments; but they are
young soldiers; whom it will take some time to form.
Lit general, most of the old soldiers accustomed to
make war in the North and South of Europe cannot
accustom themselves to the state of repoje which
they enjoy. The military spirit which gave birth
to so many heroic actions subsides but slowly. The
rich dotations, the military decorations, the rapid
promotions which took place when the army was de.
cimated every year—all this exists no longer, and
cannot return. A garrison life appears dull to those
old soldiers who have been accustomed to traverse
Narope, to treat with all ties rigour Of the right of con-

quest, and to enrich themselves at the expense of th,
unfartunate, inhabitants. Some Officers have gone
to join the Insurgent Greeks, but the number of these
is inconsiderable. The journey is long, their future
' prospects uncertain, and most of them are destitute
of the means necessary to zany them to Turkey.
