Trouble in Canada.-The Parliament OF
Lower Canada, assembled OF the Goth, when
the Governor pronounced a brief address, stat
ing that he should not declare the causes for
which he had called them together, until the
Assembly should choose a Speaker, and pre-
sent him for appreciation. The members OF
the Assembly then retired, and elected Mr..
Passineau former speaker) by 4 vote of 80
to 5.
On the following day, fine Governor disal-
lowed The nomination of Mr.. Passineau, and
required the house to make another choice.
On the 22d Mr.. Passineau was again elected
by a vote of 40 to 4, and took his seat. The
Official Gazette IF Quebec, mentions that Mr..
vallieres went with the messengers to the
Governor to enquire when he would receive
the address Of the house, and s%ays-"the an
swer may easily be anticipated THAT no mes
sage or address could be received or commune
Gated TO the members, until a Speaker had
been appointed, with the appreciation Of the
Crown"
The Montreal Herald remarks, " that anoth-
err dissolution Of Parliament will in all proba-
bility soon take place; but a new election will
not mend matters, which w believe will only
be settled by The direct interference Of the I'm
periaI Parliament. II is in vain to suppose for
a moment the present House Of Assembly and
the Executive can ever cordially cooperate for
he good Of the Province

woMAN.-we know not why il is; that we
are frequently insulted by having communities
ton, sent 10 US, with request that they should
be published, which are obviously intended to
assail the feelings of some respectable female.
We have more than one hundred times, spoken
in decisive terms, respecting such infamous
productions, and time out of mind, have pro-
nouncsd those who write them, incapable OF
any good action, and unworthy even of the
worlds contempt.
Yesterday another Of those offensive. and
wicked illusions Of malice and gall. was hand
ed US by a young man of respectable appear
ance. who said il wo would publish it, he would
leave his real name with US, and bestow upon
us any reasonable reward, that we might de-
mand.
Not being anxious to incorporate our fame,
with that Of the fellow, and not being disposed
to become tho retailers of his scandal, We Of
course treated his proposition with all the con-
tempt It merited, and his honorable self-with
all the indignation he descrycd~B HIS impudence
was unbounded, and his eirontery excessive;
and, finding that we would rot listen to his
scandalous proposals, he became somewhat
angry, and said if we did not oblige him. he
would exert himself to do US oil the injury in
his power. aud to withdraw the support of our
patrons! Menstrous threat! When such a
wretch as he is, can do US an injury, we shall
have become AFFECT indeed!
On leaving us, he sad that he should take
his manuscript to another Office, and obtain
for it an insertion IN enc Of the papers Of the
town, = and ,us he doomed it prudent to threat
en- us, we in our turn threaten him, and have
to say, tina, if he succeeds in getting his eb-
ullition Of scandal published, we will, through
tho columns of this paper, expose his real
name, to the public gaze and condemnation.
That ne will succeed, however, We do not be-
lieve, for we have too good an opinion of the
Providence Press, to suppose for a moment,
that eithor of the papets of the town, will pub
lish his essay.

FOREIGN M~IssroNs.--We copy from the
Boston Commercial GAzette, of Monday. the
following notice. 1t is not a very remarkable
paragraph, but it is worth perusing:
"The meeting which was to have been held
at Julien Hall tins evening, aud at which a re-
port and addresses wore TO have been made on
the state and prospects Of christianity in India
is unavoidablcv postponed for q short time -
OF the time and place OF the meeting for this
purpose, due notice will be given"
II is somewhat singular, that the individuals,
who arc concerned in the getting up of the
meeting of which tire foregoing notice speaks,
are not ready to report" and offer their
addresses; for, VIC should think that those who
are 30 Jealous, for the salvation of mems souls,
would always be ready to give a concise, and
lucid report Of the proceedings.
The fact is, as VIC suppose, the meeting was
postponed, because the agents had no report
of progress to make; and, before they can rem
dor a report, Of any particular transactions
connected with the happiness Of mankind,
fresh intelligence must be obtained from India .
and new funds must be accumulated; and then.
the authorized agents, perhaps, can crafty
the public, by giving a long and an elaborate
report, which will show them, TO what an ex.
tent they have been imposed urou. by those
who are engaged in the modern s2ungina sys-
tem;-a system which takes from the mouths
Of the poor and needy, that charity which
should be given them, 10 support in Incidence,
and case, and splendour, a band Of clerical ad-
venturers, who, either too idle, or too inefficient
TO acquire an honorable livelihood at homo ,
seek for a life of incidence and prodigality in
the Eas. Indies.
In reply to romarks like these, VIC are told,
that they who la5our in the Missionary cause
in the East, endure great privations, and are
exposed to imminent dangers and hair breadth
'scapes, and that their situation is far from
enviable.
Such is not tho fact, and we know il to be
true, that nine tenths Of them, tho moment
they land in India, begin to conceive plans for
the accumulation of wealth, pay but little or
no attention to the objects they professedly
pursue, and in the end, live upon the benevo-
lence of the creduIous and beneicent, and fat
ten and riot, amid the extravog ance of eastern
luxury.
The time will arrive, when the people of the
United States, will set their faces against these
eastern crusades; and, learning by experience.
reserve their surplus means, for the benefit Of
their own indigcnt population, and put down
the modern crusaders.

TENNEssEE.-To show in what way they
manage IN Tennessee, to promote the views of
Gen. Jackson, we copy the following extract
Of a letter, from a gentleman residing at Fay-
cttovillc in that state, and addressed to the
editor of this paper, dated
Fayetteville Tenn. Nor. 4. 1927.
You know the western Americans we'll
Jackson's friends knowing that such a thing
would not do for the press, but would do for
cdnaiile, have industriously circulated a report
throughout the state, that .Nessrs. Adams and
Clay, some short time since, gave a bravo $4,000
to nssassinate Gen. Jackson;-that the assassin
left Washington city for that purpose, and made
an abortive attempt, with the rifle early the
week before last, on the Chicftain. The report
goes that the Generals horse was killed under
him, but the hero fortunately escaped. This
story, bearing upon it the impress of falsehood,
is greedily swallowed. and until it is contradicted
satlsfa ctorily, will in all probability, materially
affect the prospects Of the Presidential cleo
ton in Tennessee"
Such are the means resortcd to by the Jack
son party. and if the, succeed in their attempt,
it will be very strange; and no probable calcu-
lation can be made, upon the result Of future
elections. Falschood is employed by the fac
zion, in its most hideous colours to aid them,
and truth is denied admission to their ranks

SELF MOVING on SELL ADJUsTIHO

any intention Of injuring any one-but the
