 | Collisions Jctueen the GouernoY al,d Ie- eislatsve of Canada.-T There is much
 difficulty now prevailing in the Canada Legislature in respect to the admins
 tration of the public revenues. ltap- pears that heretofore, certain revenues
 have been, under act of parliament, at the disposal of the provincial executive, subject to accountability to the imperi- al government. Lately, Earl Grey's cabinet have directed that the whole
 of the revenues be placed at the dispo sal of the provincial assembly. It is
 contended by some that the ministry had mo right to do this without an act of l Parliament repeating the former act. Lord Aylmer, the Governor of Cana la, in q message to the assembly, OH the 25th ut. says that the casual and terri torial revenue of the crown arc. not in- leluded in the surrender which he made | in former message in obedience to in- Istructions from theministry. This mes sage sage has caused much excitement not only in the Legislature but with the
 people at large. X large majority of the people declare that nothing short of the absolute control of the whole pro vinciai revenue viii be accepted, and they appear fully determined to main tain their declarations.
 A spirit of liberty is evidently fast gaining ground in Canada, and there are many there tiesirous of throwing of ai- lcgiancc to the British king. A liberal course on the part of the British govern ment may delay q separation fer q long time; but the day must and will come when British North America shall take a station among the nations of the earth. And the tyranny and folly of such go- yernors as Dalhousie and Aylmer will hasten the great event. -4lbony -Ad7.
 The warning annunciation, that "they who live by the sword shall perish by the sword,o was never more prophetic than in the instance of President GuER- REno-- some details of whose trial and execution will be found in this papcr.-- GUERRERO being defeated as q compet- itor for the Presidency of Mexico, by PEDRARzzA, who reeeivedthe great ma- jority of votes, undertook, and succeed ed, to overrule the election by force of arms, and by means of the soldiery was proclaimed Presidentin the place of PE- DRAzzA. In his tuln he has been over thrown by soldier, BusTAMENTE; j; but hoping still to recover his power, he again had recourse 10 arms, was beaten, taken prisoner, tried in distant prov ince by court martial, condemned, and immediately executed. We have no tears for him. "The poisoned chalicc" has returned to his own lips; but the hap less country subject to such violences, and usurpations, may well claim our sympathy.
 It is stated in the official Register of Mexico, under date of 22d February, that pension of S300O has been grant ed to the wife and daughter of GuERRE- Ro. Where life, however, is held SO cheap, and revolutions in government are so frequent, the worth of such a grant may be we'll qnestioned.-N. r .amer.
 40 Asus.-We believe most of our readers will share with us in the disap-. pointment at receiving TO European news by the last mails. In England, Parliament was to open on the day of our last London dates. and much anxie- ty is naturally felt asto the course which Great Britain may adopt with reference to the revolutionary part of the copti- ncnt. The situation of Ireland also |commands especial attention. Will
