eon to expect that recompence wi.uld immediately
follow : yet nothing followed bat delay and insult
Surely, if there is among mankind a single principle
of justice, this is one, that the individuals of a na-
tion ought not partially to bear the weight of public
calamity—sorely, individuals who have exposed their
lives for Government should not be disgusted with
ending Government regardless of those very princi.
isles which itig intended to sustain. The People of
this Province are well aware that their fellow.sub.
4ftts at home are pressed hard with taxation; and far
as it from their wish that relief should be afforded
from thence. Canada contains, within itself, ample
means of exonerating Government from the claims of
Sufferers by war.; and it is within the fiat of your
Anal Highness tq remove, by a single breath, the
evil now so justly complainee, of. Millions of acres
of fertile land lie here at the disposal of your Royal
jlighoess, upon the credit of which, put under pro.
per management, not only the fair claims of loyal
sufferers could instantly he advanced, bet vast sums
could be raised for the improvement of the Provinces,
sad the increase of revenue to Britain.
" Another grievance, manifesting the neglect of
Government to the concerns of Upper Cowell', is
eqtially notorious, and must be still more abhorretit
to the ;enema feelings of your Ito) al Highness.
"The young men of this Trainee, who were armed
in its defence, had, (or their spirited conduct, the pro.
seise of their Commanders that land would be granted
to them, Si a 'ewer!) for their services, SR soon as war
was terminated ; and after this promise was univer-
sally confided in, the Parliament of Upper Catlett*
passed an estreordinary law, in the face of the esta-
blished British principles, that the Militia should pass
beyond the frontier. With these promises.and in.
obedience to this law, the Militia passed beyond the
frontier with alacrity ; yet, since the peace, the
greater part of them have been denied the pledge of
their eitraordinary services, and the land is unjustly
withheld.
" Such ingratitude—such dishonoor—such errors
in policy, your Royal Highness may be well assured,
could not exist without eztraordincty influences ; and,
were your Royal Highness sufficiently informed asto
these, and of the trot state of Upper Canada, weflat.,
tar ourselves most important changes would speedily
take place, as well fop the glory of the Throne as for
the benefit of its subjects.

" Permit the loyal eobjects of his Majesty merely
to say es reach, at the present: time, on this subject, es
may induce your Royal liighnesno order enquiry to
be made. •
" The lends of the Crown, in Upper Canada, are of
immense eaten', not only stretching far and wide into
the wilderness, bet -scattered over the Province, end
intermitted with private property, already cultivated.
The dispose! of this.lend is left to Ministers at home,
who are palpably Ignorant of casting circumstances;
end to a Council of -men resident in this Province,
who, It is believed,,bue long converted the trust re.
posed in them to purposes of selfishness. The scan.

to such a pltcb of esenstroes magnitude; that the ,

What sort of story will he soot home to. Ministers we
know not; but, if they hear the truth, they will see
that the'business is Hot trilling, and that even the se-
curity of our old possessions may he shaken by what
Ia now only beginning. There is a groat want a po.
lie., (the result of great ignorance, we are inclined
to think), in not making distinction between the
Penile and the Head men. If we lied ever any
chalice of obtaining a footing in the country, it cer-
tainly must base been by attaching the body of the
People to us by the means of conferring upon them
something like civil liberty and protection against
their own oppressors, their Head-men. Bot our
present plan is to hang and shoot.'them wherever they
are seen or found, in eaves or paddy fields, or in
the jungle, armed or smarmed, old and young.

able movement of a quadroas of the ltd British
Light Dragoons ; and the enemy, after some hard
fighting, was completely beaten, and pursued for
many miles. GOKLA was kilted, while behaving
with distinguished bravery. Another Sirdar was
likewise killed. But the PZIgHWA thought it beton
to save himself by flight, and quitted his palanckein
at an early period of the action. The Rajah of

successes of Sir WILLIAM KEla against tel.
tain detached corps of HOLIXAR'S army, and
of the Pindarree •robbers, are detailed in the
official correspondence of Sir TUOKAS

We this day extract from the Quebec Papers a
most interesting Address from the Inhabitants of
Lipper Canada to the Patrice amens., on the
ject of the cotruptions, abuses, and oppressions in
the C2Apny, which are thus said to meal any thing of
the same injurious kind experienced in this country.
This is saying and offering to prove a great deal to
his Royal Highness ; and we will merely observe in
return, (endeavouring to sink our own calamities in
the consideration of others,) that if there be reason to
believe in the actual existence of a tenth part of the
grievances thus detailed, the Canadians are in a shim.
den far from prosperous—that they want Reform
in their. Government as well as we do in akstra,_in,d
that his Royal Highness would do well to embrace
the earliest oppertunity of submitting theit case to
the consideration. of Parliament. , A Deputation,
it appears, is to come over, to present jibe Address,
and to substantiativits allegations. . .

We every day see new -cease for rejoicing at the
defeat of the Ministerial attempt upon Westminster.
There can be no doubt that bad the Government ob-
tained footing for a Reisrasent'ilive in that City,
they "mold have made good rase of their success for
their own-cause, and that they would have contrived
so to warp their toils abool. this important post that
they would have kept possession of it in all time coining,.
and with the help of their grossing corruptions, and.
a rmed ouaibariey set Reform at defisoce. The ads and
result of the probationary Restrectiowperiod show i
how firaily tied fatally the fetters of Ministerial in.;
