CANADIAN AFFAIRS

We alluded, some days ago. to the az.
tenslve political agitation prevailing in tho
Canadian provinces, threatening a new dis.
membcrment of the British Empire. Tbia
agitation is fast drawing to a bead, and we
should not be surprised, if, before the lapse
OF another year, the standard of Tndenen-
@eace be boldly uniurled, and probably fri

MATAMoRAs, July q, 1873

MATAMoRAs, July 81, 1887.
Dear Slr-The magnanimity shown by
the Texan government in releasing all tho
Mexican prisoners in Texas, has been poor
Iy reciprocated on the part Of this govern
ment IN their treatment Of the Texian pris-
oners now confined in the quarters of this
city. Among the number of prisoners ta-
ken on board the Texan armed schooner
Independence, is the Hon William H.Whar-
ton, whose situation is truly dcplorabe, and
1t would appear as it thus government had
particularly singled him ont to wreak their
vengeance upon. Since his arrival in Mat
am 'ras, he has been confined in a very
small room, bristIing with the bay1nets of
his guard, without the possibility of seeing
the light OF He1ven, except through iron
grates--donled the privilege of writing or
communicating with any ono except his
guard, dependant upon his own resources
tor his daily food, not having even been Of
tered this last by the government, half de-
vourcd by the lleas, half suffocated by the
heat, continually pIunlcred by the guard,
denied even medical aid when sick, his
regular rest entirely destroyed at night by
the horrltic screams of the sentinels within
a few feet Of his bed, render his situation
miserable in the extreme. The above is
The unvarnished truth, and challenge the
Old puslllanlmols Gen. Filasola, who has
the communal here, to DENY it. The con-
duct OF this man toward Mr.. Wharton can
only be oqnalled by the most savage barba-
rian in existence.
cannot conceive why the Texian gov
ernment released the Mexican prisoners in
Texas. | should suppose that they had
seen enough of the falsty of Santa Anna,
Aimonie, and others, to know that they had
but little TO expect from this government
for so generous an act. They have another
instance in Gen. Coss, another false wretch
who deserved to die. He had no sponer
arrived in Matamoras, and felt himself safe |
from the paws of "the Texian Barbarians,''
ere he commenced calling them every thing
but honest people, and boldly declared hi, I
determination TO @ back AMI have his re-
venge. 1t would appear as though the Tex
ians required another butchery like that of |
La Bahia, to make them understand per
Iecty the character of the people with whom
hey are at WARRIOR it seems as though
hey did not understand them. They are
humble and supplicating when prisoners.
md when once liberated, their falsity knsws
10 bounds.
Why DOM the Texan government send
IN partizan companies and sweep the Rio
Irande through the whole course? It can
EASILY be done. The troops here are only
bout fifteen. hundred strong, including off
ers. The cavalry are about two hundred

Shocking Afdir.-A person whose name

misses; some one happened TO remark to
Mr.. MlIligIG, the har-keoper, that he ought
to remove such y fellow from his door, and
Mr.. NJ. being of the same opinion, took &c
casion to lift the fellow up, an advised him
to take seat; he resisted all interference,
and inso'ently maintained he wouI lay in
any attitude he chose. The bar-keepcr
took hold of stick and threatened with it
to drive him away, but he came so near
the object he merely wanted to Tighten,
that he could not have used the stick if he
had wished. Ia the work Of moment,
however, the degraded william whl had thus
lntruded himself on private grounl, put an
end to all parey, for he suddenly drew
knife which was concealed about him, and
