UPPER CANADA.

(FROM TOE YORK GAZETTF OF SATVRDAY, TEL 10
On Tuesday last, the 6.11 tnst. being the day ap-
pointed by Proclamation for the meting of the Pro.
uncial Legislature, his Excellency the LIZUTENART-
GOVIRSTOR, accompanied by the Commanding Officer
of the District, and Staff at this p. st, and attended
by the Principal o.hcers of Government, proceeded
at two o'clock to the Legislative Council Chamber;
and, with the accustomed sylemnities, was pleased
to open the Session with the following gracious
Speech to both Houses:
" Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, aa
Gentlemen of the House of Assetubly,
" After so long an absence, during which the prosperitynf this
province was uppermo4 in my thoughts, t nowt embrace the
wished for opportunity of uniting wilt you in my endeavours to
promote that salutary objt cc.
" would have been a great satisfaction to me to have been
able to communicate any more favourable account of the state
of our revered Sovereign, than that his bodily health continues

unimpaired.
" I congratulate you, and every loyal suhject, on the ultimate
and complete success of the great struggle in Europe, in which
every member of the British Empire is peculiarly interested, as
being chiefly attributed to the auspices of his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, and the national arms, under the direction of the
Soo warrior of modern times.
" The gallant defence of this colony, by its own militia, sup-
ported during the early period of the war by a very small portion
of his Majesty's regular force, has acquired to it a high diaduc-
don for loyalty and bravery.
"The obstinate contention with succeeding armies of Weeders'
and their ultimate discomfiture, has not failed to attract the no-
thee of the world, and gives to this province au importance in
public opinion which it becomes us to maintain.
" Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" 1 bate ordered the Provincial Accounta to be laid before
- you, not doubling but that you will examine them with your
usualaittention.
" kionoirable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and
Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" The return of peace, and with it, we ate to hope, the habits
of indestry which promise wealth and happiness to this colony,
claims from you such legislative provisions as may best secure
%he protection and enjoyment of these blessings.
• The Militia Code has undergone many coanges, but still re-
quires your ierious attention, to give the best possible effect to
that force, should it again be called into action. Experience
thews that the most disposable, and therefore the best form into
which it can be moulded, so as to serve with a regular force, is'
that of independent companies, upon the principle on which the
Sink companies were formed in the year 181 e.
" The district schools, instituted by law, and admirably fitted
as a step between elementary schools, and a seminary for the
higher branches of education, will not, without further aid, pro-
duce sufficient advantages to the youth of this province.
" The dissemination of letters is of the first importance to
every class; and maid in so de4rable an object, I wish to call
your attend,* to some provi.iou fur est Wahl:aliment of schools
in each towns 4., which shall afford the first principles to the
childreo of the iuhabitaute, and prepare such of them as may
require further instruction, to receive it In the district schools;
from them it seems desirable that there should be a resort to a
provincial seminary, for ehe youth who may be destined for the
profeesiovs, or other distinguished walks in life, whim they
might attait, the higher branches of education. The Royal bounty
has already been bestowed towards that end, In the destination
of large tracks of fend; and no attention shall be wantiug on my
part, to second, and. carry into effect, the result of your deliberas
duos on this important subjeet.
" The revenue arising from the duties received at Quebec; the,
increase, and regulation of whicit, have been yielded to the.
I.egisleture of Lower Canada, ref-juin:a your serious attention,
not only that we may reap the ft.ll miners of our consumption,
but that there may be nu further ir.tertertrice with the National
provisions for the regulation of Trade.
" The growth, prosperity, and happinesi of this province, 1
am confident, will receive your beet attention, and Lamm* yau
of mg Lull support and co-operation."
Yesterday the Honourable the Legislative Council
• 'waited on his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor,
and presented as Address, in answer to his Excel-
lency's Speech, as did" also the Common: House of
Assembly ; to which his Excellency made a suitable
reply. •

44 It is with the most lively regret that our Court
has this day received an sect tint of the premature
death of the Empress of Austria,-which took pl&ce at
. Verona on the 7th, at seven o'clock in the afternoon."
The Empress, who was daughter of the late Arc-
hduke Ferdinand, sister of the reigning Duke of Mo-
dena and of tl,e Queen of Sardinia, was born on the
14th of December, 1787.
A letter from an Austrian Officer, inserted in the
Colmar Journal, gives a formal contradiction to the
report published an some of the Ger Man Papers, and
particularly the 411ga:dim Zeitung, of certain bloody
contests having taken place in the Vosges between
some Austrian soldiers and the French peasantry.—
The. Austrian Officer, on the contrary, asserts, that
the greatest harmony prevails between them, and
that the former even take a pleasure in assisting the
latter in their rural occupations as much as their mi-
litary duties will permit. This letter equally contra-
dicts the false reports propagated respecting distur-
bances at Strasburgh. •
The King of France has lately given orders for
the re-establishment of the Journal drs Sayan:. This
Journal, the oldest of all purely literary Journals, re-
gularly appeared, with the exception of some inter-
ruptions, from 1665 up to 1799. In the list, of its
editors were Vertot, Fontenelle, de C•Nuignes, &c.
His Majesty will go to Fontainbleau to spend
some time there.
A Journal states that Prince Talleyrand will pass
the spring at his estate of Valensay.
It is said that Count de Puy as appointed Gover-
nor-General of the French establishments in India.
The second Court Martial 'of the First Military
Division has acquitted Captain Caucanas, who was
accused of being the author of a seditious movement,
in consequence of which the equipage of the Duke
of Beni was stopped at St. Denis, on the 20tts of

March, 1815.
They write from Tours, that ?f. Gaudin, Colonel
of the ex-feith of the line, has been arrested there: he
was travelling under a forged name.
We are assured that the Duke of Wellington will
sojourn but a few days at Cambray. whence his
Grace will repair to England via Brussels.
Magnificent preparatitins are making at Lyons' for
the reception of the august Neapolitan visitants.
The Princess Caroline is now daily expected. They
will reside, while there, at the Archiepiscopal Palace.
On the 6th instant the Legion of Arriege was as-
sembled, and an inspection of the knapsacks ordered.
The Coloivl of the Legion presidei himself at this
inspection. In the knapsack of a soldier were found
the tricoloured cockade and the figure of an eagle.
The culprit w4s immediately conducted to the front
of the legic:i, broken, and conveyed to prison, to be
delivered over to the tribunals.

CHAMBER OF DEPVIIFS.
SI PTISGS Ot APRIL 17.
The discussion of the proposed Custom Duties
WAS resumed. •
The 61st Article, which related to the seizure of
prohibited spun and wove Cottons, experienced a
strong opposition from several Deputies, and various
amendments were proposed. In the result, these
were got rid of by the previous question, and the
Article, as originally proposed, was agreed to by the
Chamber.
The eight following Articles, which went to pro-
vide means of redress and compensation to the pro:
prietors ut seized Cottons, in case the same should
turn out to be of French manufacture, were sane-
timed by the Chamber without opposition.
The subject of the Custom Duties, after eight days
discussion, being thus gone through. the Chamber
proceeded to the consideration of the different topics
which had been sent to a farther investigation by the
Committees; and these, as proposed, were generally
agreed to.
The proposition for authorizing the Finance Mini.
ster to take up provisionally six millions of rents in
addition, to be applied exclusively to the diminution
of extraordinary expenses, should any occur, under-
went some discussion in a close Committee; and
which, on the renewal of the public Sitting, was de-
clared to have been unanimously adopted.
The question was then put, as to the entire Law of
the Budget, and a scrutiny being proposed, it was
agreed to by the Chamber, by a majority of 257 to
6 votes.—Adjourned till to-morrow.

PRIVATIL CORRESPOND!LCE.
PARIS, APRIL IS.
The following is a copy of the Artet of the Cham.
bee of Accusation against Sir Robert Wilson and his
accomplices ; a document answering to an English
Bill of Indictment, with this difference in the anterior
proceeding, that the Grand Jury do not find the Bill
simply, but erase such passages as they may think un-
supported by evidence, and present the rest for the
consideration of the Court. Thc Arret in question
is in its amended state. The approaching trial ex-
cites extreme interest here. •
. ARRET Or TUB CIIAIIII/1/1 OP ACCUSATION.
48 On the 20th of December, 1815, about two
o'clock in the afternoon, Emilie Louise de Beauhar.
noisiest:we Lavalette, availing herself of the permit.
sion that had been given her to communicate with
Marie Chamans de Lavalette, her husband, con-
demned to death for the crime of high treason, re-
paired in a sedan chair to the Concergerie, at the
palace of justice. The chairmen were Joseph Gnat's
alias Marengo, and one Brigand. Haying arrived
near the grate of the Coocsergerie, Lavalette, the
wife, alighted from the chair, and was introduced
into the prison. Benoit -Bonneville, her domestic,
who had accompanied bee, remained in the first
chamber, called the avant-greffe. During the course
of this .visit, Lavaleue sent for his daughter, aged IS,
who came, accompanied by Anne Marguerite Du-
colt, a female attached to her service, and aged 60.
Jean Btlitiste Roquette de Kerguidee, sent. head
gaoler of the house of justice, permitted her to enter,
although she was not furnished with permission to
that effect. •
.‘ About five o'clock in the evening Lavalette set
down to dine with his wife, his daughter, and the.
widow Dutoit. They were waited upon by Jacques
Merle, a turnkey of the prison, particularly charged
with the guard of Lavalette, who nevertheless paid
him a recompense, became he emploled him as a
domestic.
m After dinner Mule went for the coffee,. which'

hi .brought, inn he wile %Amsted not to Mete in
again. til he was for. About seven o'clock
thebell Was accordrigiry rung, to desire Merle to tell
the chairmen to .be in immediate readiness, because
Lavalette the wife was about to depart; but Lava-
tette, as it appears, had turned to account the time
during which he had been without a keeper; and put
on some of his wife's clothing, and covered his head
with her bonnet and feathers, having put on a tucker
anti gloves—he soon after came out of the prison, with
the sift of this disguise, holding his daughter by the
hand, and leaning on the widmieDutoit ; and it is
difficult to supppse ihat Merle did not perceive the
disguise. In order the better todeceive the vigilance
of the gaoler and the other keepers, Lavalette con-
cealed his face with a handkerchief, as if stifling the
sobs, and drying up the tears. During this time Bon-
neville had made himself secure of Guerin alias Ma=
rengo, and had procured another chairman to replace
Brigault, who had rejected the offer made to him.
The sedan chair was then ready, Lavalette entered
it, the chairmen set off, Bonneville, the widow Du-
wit, and Lavalette, the daughter, following it to
the end of the Rue de la Barilliere, where Lavalette
having arrived, left the chair, and took to flight, his
daughter taking his place in it.
" In the mean time the escape was not yet known
in the Own, when the gaoler Roquette, sen. entered
Lavalette's chamber ; he saw no one there, but he
heard something stirring behind a folding screen; he
went out, and returned shortly after. Having then
called without receiving an answer and feelingalarmed
he advanced towards the screen, and recognised La-
valette's wife; he immediately exclaimed, Ah,onadarve,
roil have deceived me. and wished to go out to give the
alarm; but it would appear the woman Lavalette
made tome efforts to detain him. At last he got out
of the chamber, and immediately set.off in pursuit of
the sedan chair, which was come up with at a short
distance, but no one was found in it but Lavalette,
the daughter. Merle, who bad received orders from
Roquette, jun. to run up the Rue de la Barilliere, in
order to overtake, if possible, the escaped prisoner,
had, on the contrary, returned to the Conciergerie,
under the pretence of satisfying himself as to the rea-
lity of Lavalette's escape, and of visiting the cham-
ber. Merle had also, at the moment of Lavalette's
escape, taken to the tavern one Bodiseau, whose su-
perinspection might have proved fatal to the success
of the plan.
" All these facts gave occasion to a criminal in-
quiry against die authors or presumed accomplices of
the escape. Lavalette, the wife, being interrogated
at the very moment of the event, and since, has in-
deed persisted in declaring that she alone had con-
ceived anal executed the -project ; but the inquiry
did not in this respect produce any direct and positive
charge that could enable us to place any confidence
in her declaration.
6, It appeared, on the contrary, to result, that La-
valette, the wife, would not, as well as her daughter
and the widow I)utoit, have taken any active part in
this project, but thatLavalette would have conceived
and executed, without being aided by them, his plan
of escape : and that he would not have obtained from
these three females any thing but a passive obedience
which their mutual relations render probable. As to
Benoit Bonneville, he appears to have knowingly fa-
voured the escape of his master, and to have even ac-
tively co-operated in procuring for him two chairmen
who could be depended upon, and by attempting to
seduce the man Brigault by the offer of 25 Louis.
" Joseph Guerin alias Marengo, does not appear
exempt from active participation in the escape • he
had joined his entreaties to those of Bonneville, in
order to persuade Brigault to accept the offers which
wen made to the latter. As to the second chairman,
named Chossy, no trace has appeared against him of
his having knowingly participated in the escape, and
he has been placed out of prosecution since the com-
mencement of the process. The turnkey, Merle, has
not invalidated by his answers the charges which arose
against him of having favoured, by connivance, the
eat:ape, and which result from the facts above stated.
In fine, Roquette, sen. the gaoler,has not exculpated
himself from the offence imputed so him, of having.
by his negligence. facilitated the escape of the convict
entrusted UP his keeping.
" The criminal inquiry relative to the abovenamed
persons implicated had terminated. and proceedings
were about to be held upon it, when an unexpected
event, which appeared to be, the consequence of La
valette's escape, and bad the closest connection with
the first fact, reached the ears of justice, and neCess*p
tated new inquiries.
Lavalette, after having escaped from the Con.
ciergerie, was still not, sheltered from danger; he was
still not enabled to leave Paris ; and the very active
searches which were made there could not have failed
speedily to discover him. In order to escape from
his sentence, he had no other means but that of get-
'tit% out of France at all hazards. But this was pe-
rilous, because a description of him had been sent to
ill the authorities, and to the eeadarmerie; never-
theless, it was soon learned that this convict had suc.
ceeded in getting from Paris, and even in passing the
frontiers of France; and those persons who had pro-
vided him with the means did not remain long un-
known. A letter written by Sir Robert Wilson, an
Englishman; a Major-General not in active service
under date the 11th of January, 1816, containing th;
most circumstantial details of Lavalette's escape from
France, confirmed the suspicions which were excited
in this-respect against tie said Wilson, and also against
John Hely Hutchinson and Michael .Bruce. It made
known the part which each of: them had taken in the
concealment of LAvolette, and in facilitating his
'escape out of France.
" In consequence. a criminal inquiry was directed
against them. On this inquiry it appeared that, from
the Ist day of January, Wilson and Bruce, being
acquainted with the fact that Lavalette was still at
Paris had formed the project of rescuing him from
justice;. that they had communicated this project to
Hutchinson, who had joined, in it ; that, in, fact, on
the 7th of January they met at the house of the lat.
tir„ and concerted and agreed with Lavalette upon
the means wbiah it would be necessary to employ to
secure the- escape of this convict; that Bruce and
Hutchinson employed themselves in ditecting.the
preparation of the dress necessary to facilitate the
flight of Lavatette ; that Hutchinson concealed him
at his lodgings. on the night ifolllthe 7th to the Bth;
that the tollowing day he accompanied an horseback
the cabriolet in which Wilson and Lavalette rode;
that at last the said Wilson did not quit Lavalette

consummating the escape and concealment of Lava-

Hutchinson and Bruce were charged with being ex.
complices of Wilson, by knowingly aiding and Assist-
ing the latter in the acts which prepared, facilitated,

certing with Wilson thh flight of Lavalette, and ter-
nishing him with the means; sod Hutchinson, by
concealing Lavalette, and accompanying him as far
as Compiegne.
With regard to the individuals charged with
having facilitated the escape of Lavalette from the
prison of the Conciergerie, rite same ordinance charged
Merle with having, by connivance with Lavalette, of
whom.he was the keeper, faCilitated the escape of
that convict ; Roquette de Kerguide-c the kv•per, the
widow Dutoit, Eonneviile, and Guerin. with having

66 With regard to Lavalette the wife, considering
that there did not exist against her sufficient reefs et
a criminal co-operation in the escape ot her hushand,
it was declared that there was no grouret tot prosecu-
tion against her at present.
" The Court, after having deliberated as to what
respects Wilson, Hutchinson, and Bruce, corsienitig
that that there do. not result from the documents and
preliminary investigation, sufficient charges against
them of having, towards the close of 1815, and in
January, 1816, fornsed.or executed a plot having for
its object to destroy or alter the French government,
or to excite the citiaens to take up arms against the
Royal authority, nor of having been acco:np:ices in.
the said.crimes, declares that there is no ground for
accusation against the said Wilson, Hutchinson, atid
Bruce, in respect of the said facts of attempt ane plot.
" As far as respects Jecques Merle, considering
that, from the preliminary investigation, the charge
results against him of having, on the %eh of Mem-

The French Chamber of Deputies have at length
Fussed the Budget by an immense majority of 257
La 7. On the last day of the discussion, the prohibi-
lan of wove cotton and cotton yarn formed the prin.
: pal tiyie. A Member opposed the prohibition of cot.

asiostamis. Ile ratted, at the saute time, an am-
isle respecting ;he rigour of the laws with respect to
prohibited nierchairdize. A Lady, lie said (of course

oitrpectorating his bile against this country. The
littra Ro'falists detest us, because the example ref our
hvdorn forms the greatest bar to the accompshment
tithtir plan of arbitrary Government in France.
The French have an uhquestionable right to pro-

lel their own manufactures, and as a similar right
belongs to every country, it will be proper that our
no Government take means for the encouragement
of our own manufactures. In this case they cannot
possibly do better than by seconding the views of our
blind rivals as far as retires to cotton yarn. Let the
r4Portation of this article be prohibited, and we shall
then have the manufacturing profits on muslins as
rPil as nn spinning ; for the French ladies will have

The Journals say nothing on' the subject of the
Election Law ; but private letters state that the

htr resolved itself into a Secret Committee, in noose-
Cleke of some proposition about to be made by U.

lid reference to this exercise of the veto; for it is very
Probable that the vestion will be renewed, in one

weep to be decidedly cotantirtrd upon the point,
