The House ofCommoils on the 7th, by
vote of 31S to Sc, declared SHAT in the ex-
isting state of Lower Canada, il is unadvi-
sable to make the Legislative Council Of
that Province an Elective Body; but that
ii is expedent that the measure be adOp-
ted for securing to that branch Of the Lee
gislature greater degree Of public conf
dencc."
A motion was made in the House Of
Commons lays the Times of the 11lh, TO
present an address 10 His Majesty, petition
ing government to lay before the Honse all
legislative proceedings oflhe American Con
gfess, and all correspondence, upon the sub
ject Of the reco gntion by our government
OF The independence OF Texas. IT e House
divided on this motion as follows: % yeas,
III nays.
MIR. Hoy, in making the motion about
Texas, said ftWas the standard of slaoery
that was raised in Texas, and it behooved
England to stand by Mexico in such a con-
test. Lord Palmerston said that the Pre-
sidenl's Message 10 Congress on tina, point
was full and satisfactory, and Showed no
disposition to vina,e The neutrality they
had preserved. He also suggested that the
interest OF the North would be q sufficient
check against any improper recognition of
the indepe ndence Of Texas. Mr.. Warde
Withdrew an attack he had made against
Mr.. Forsyth, charging him with specula-
ting in Texas lands. He had ascerlained

pleasure. O'Connel denounced the Uni
ted States on the subject OF slavery.
MORE INTERNAL MACHINES. The jour
nal de Paris mentions, but without citing
authority for the statement, that an inler-
nal machine on the plan OF that OF Fieschi
had been discovered by the police OF OAR
mstadt. The proprietor, poet named Pill,
committed suicide with the fragments of o
bottle. The Journal du Commerce states,
IN the other hand, that The individual was
a physician, and that his name was Wal.
dig. Another Ministerial paper asserts
that a new internal machine had been found
in Brussels, at ,he residence of person
named Delpoint. This individual, a
Frenchman, was, il seems, described in his
passport as ''man OF letters"

HOUSE OF CoMMONS-M ARCH 8.
UNITED STATES (NORTH AMER
lCAN) BOUNDARY LINE.
Mr.. Robinson begged to ask the noble
Lord if any progress had been made in the
setllemen, OF the question respecting the
b. S. Boundary Line?
Lord Palmerslon said there had not.
The question was still the subject OF com.
munication between the Government of
the two countries. He believed that both
Governments were actua,ed by an earnest
desire to bring the matter 10 an amicabIe
conclusion, 5ut difficulties had arisin in part
out of the different forms Of the two Govern
ments, which had delayed the settlement till
now.
From she London Times.
LONDON, March 8.
The resolutions brought forward BY
Lord John Russell coupled with the cir
cums,ance out Of Which they arose, have
opened discussion Of some elementary
questions, the importance OF which had
been more or less disguised 10y the convex
.tional phrascology OF Parliament.
The mass OF grievances set up by the
u =
mounts, in plain language to this that they
redress demanded by their advocates is,
that Lower Canada shall cease TO be a CO.
lony OF Great Britain. Mr.. Robinson was
The only speaker on Monday night who
gave the thing lis proper name, and char
gcd the French party with broad attempt
TO throw off The colonial character of the
Il. L.. :. al, D..
ish empire.
Nor was this accusation airly met on the
part o the French Canadian advocates.
They talked about constitutional rights, a.
bout bad government, about the Tenures
act, the Land Company Act, the necessity
Of having an elective Council, the necessity
that public servants should be responsible,
The right inherent in the House OF Assem-
be 10 raise taxes, and appropriate The a.
mount Of lhem. and so forth; but they nc
yer came 10 the point, and said sloully-
1--WE will not he governed any longer by
Great Britain; we insist on being as indie
pendant Of her as she is of US; we>insist on
being British colony no longer" They
all implied as much; hut no one OF them
dared to avow the truth, even to the extent
OF which the 'Middlesex orator had sci
them the example, by denouncingi in gencr-
al terms as in intolerable, the shameful DOM
nomination Of the mother country"
| The Mexican Congress and Santa anna.
An impartial paper printed in French in
Mexico, called lie Universal, has been rcceiv-
ed by the New Orleans Bee. BY the de-
bate of the Mexican Congress in its columns
il would seem tina, there we're but iour votes
in favor of the necessity OF new election.
This looks well for the resumption ofthe
office BY Santa Anna. Any promises he
