COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

MONTREAL PAYERS.
The reply of thn House of Assembly to the speech of the
Earl of Gosford at the opening of the session of the Assembly
at Quebec is of a nature to leave little hope of an amicable
arrangement with that body. After recapitulating his excel-
lency's observations, the assembly stare—
"We have not deemed it necessary to enter intolidetail upon
the consideration of the various subjects adverted to by your
excellency until such time as, according to promise, your excel-
lency shall have communicated to us the reasons which have
caused the convocation of the provincial parliament. Your
excellency, in limiting the subject to which you have called our
attention under the present circumstances, has, no doubt, been
actuated not only by the motives expressed by your excellency,
but moreover by the consideration that, although this house has,
during the great length of the last session, zealously laboured
fur the welfare of the province, and with that view adopted a
great many measures which we deemed to be in accordance
with the intention of his Majesty's government, our labours
have been rendered abortive in consequence of the systematic
rejection by the legislative council of all the projects of law
calculated lo remedy the past, to protect the people fur the fu-
ture, to enlighten them, and advance their moral welfare, to
improve their social end physical condition, and to intrust them
with those powers and influences on the constitution, the ad-
ministration of laws, and the management of their local affairs,
to which they are entitled, and which are guaranteed to them
by the very principles of government. 'rlie circumstance of
that body having continued unchanged must necessarily pre-
clude the idea that his Majesty intended to harass the country
by the repetition, during the present session, of scenes so dis-
creditable to the vicious constitution which it is attempted to
uphold."
The reply concludes by stating a conviction that his excel-
lency is sincere in his wishes to promote the welfare of the
country, anti entreats him not to rest satisfied with partial re-
forms, 'but to ascend to the source of the evils under which the
country suffers.
'the Montreal Gazette of the 27th of September, alluding to
the above, says—
By their determination to adhere to their demand for the
revolution of the legislative council before they vote the supplies,
the assembly has put it out of his excellency's power to continue
longer his game of see-saw. He can carry his conciliatory
scheme no further—he must make his election between support-
ing the constitution intact, or, for the sake of a year's supply,
suu rre ntiliecrai it up to Mr. l'apineau and his leash of hungry
