LOWER CANADA.-The Quebec Mer-
curry gives the following explanation of
Lord Durham's change of purpose.-NeU
York Spectator.
We hear that His Excellency the Gov
ernor General has reluctantly abandoned
his intention of proceeding TO Washing
ton, and passing through some of the u
nited States on his way to England. His
Excellency will sail from hence on the
LIST of November. We have reason to be-
lieve that this change of his plans has
been considered necessary both by His Elk
~cellency and the commander of the forces,
in order that Her Majesty's ministers
should be Immediately apprized by the
highest authority of the Provinces, In
person, OF the critical state in which they
are placed. In the mean time His Ex-
c~ellency has given the commander-in-chief
the fullest authority and power to call in
to active service any amount or descrip-
tion of force, which may be necessary for
the complete defence of the frontiers, and
the preservation OF internal security.

For my OWE part, | would as liefthey
would pu: ratsbane in my mouth, as the
excellency, with which l am crammed.-
How much more true dignity was therein
the simplicity of address among the Ro-
mans: Marcus Tullius Cicero, Decimo
Bruto lmperatori, or CATO Marcello Con-
suib than to ''his excellency major gene
raj Noodle" or to the honorable John
Doodle" My objections are perhaps .:iv-
lal and whimsical; but, for nv soul, [ cam
not help stating them. If, therefore, |
: should sometimes address a letter to YOU,
without the excellency, tackled, you must
E not esteem 1t a mark oil personal or official
