| The Canadians seem to have taken the IA
larm at the iniimations contained in the Mes
sage of the President ofth United States To
! Congress, in which the frefdom of the
navigation of the ST.. Lawrence is referred to-
On the 9th inst. in the Legislative Council of
the Parliament nf Lower Canada, resolutions
were adopted, for an address to the Governor
in Chief, demonstrating, in strong terms, IA
gainst the admission of this right In the u.
States. &c. and also against decision of the
commissioners mnder the Treaty Of Ghent, a.
| warding TO the U States Barnharts Island, a.
bove Cornwall, in Upper Canada, whereby"
say the resolutions, " no practical channel of
descent fur boats, RATS, or other conveyances
by water, is left on the British side of that RI
yer, and therefore the communication is pac-
ed at the mercy of the said Stat-s"-all which
matters the Governor is intreaied 10 lay befure
his Maiesty's Ministers.
When an Address was presented, however
ny the committee, pursuant 10 the resou
iIons, II was opposed, upon grounds which are
stated in the following summary
THE sense of the House, generally, APP
lpearrd opposed To any intelfe in the
negotiations stated 10 be going on between His
Nialesty's Government and the United States,
unless that il should be maniirsily made APP
pa ni, that the particular interests # the
\ Colony were likely to be inuriousy affected
by the result. The allowing the free naviga-
ton of the ST. Lawrence to the United
States, did not, il was said, appear to threaten
| the Colony with any dIsadv antaSes, hut quite
the contrary. The increased prosperity of the
| Province in 1909 and 1910, when great
portion Of the trade of the country un the
| waters of the ST. Lawrence, within the
United States, passed through the ST
Lawrence, was instanced as proof Of
the good effects likely to result to the
country from free navigation Of The ST.
Lawrence by the Americans. The idea of dan
ger 10 the loyalty ofihe people, from a greater
freedom of trade ard increased prosperity,
| was treated with severity. The danger 10
| the Revenue, it was maintained could be easily
avoided, as The sovereignty belonged To Great
Britain. On the other hand. The case of New
Orleans the ambition which the United
States had shewn To extend their territery,
was cited. The introduction of contrahand
goods and smuggling, it was said, could not
be prevented, II such a privilege was granted
to the Americans the honor of the country re-
quiz ed the claim TO be resisted.
| After the Debate the decision was post
poned, and we have yet no account of it.
