ARRIVAL OF THE LIVERPOOL.

ARRIVAL OF THE LIVERPOOL.
The Steam Ship Liverpool arrived al
New York on the 10th, bringing London
dates 10 the Goth. and Liverpool to the
21s, Sept.
We CLEAN the following items.
The frigate Pique sailed from Ports
mouth for Quebec on the 18th of Septen-
Der, having on board Mr.. Pouett Thorn
son and his suite, and Sir Richard Jackson
and his suite
Among the passengers in the Liverpool
are Major Hall, secretary to the Governor
General Of Canada.
Mr.. O'Connell was in retirement at OAR
rynane, arranging his measures for fresh
repeal agitation.
The King and Queen OF Belgium left
London for their own kingdom on the goth
OF September. Their visit does not ap-
pear to have resulted in any arrangement
for the marriage Of Queen Victoria-al
least the papers make no allusion to any
such event.
We regret 10 learn that bills TO a large
amount, drawn by the United States Bank,
had been protested in France-but it will
be seen that an arrangement had been
made for their payment.

PROSTATE the foe, and he viii iced his

and he viii be the first 10 charge the enemy.
Here is The noble daring of the eloquent,
the brare the honorable Champion of Can
adam independence, upon whose head
Lord Gosford set 4 price. This is The
man for whom the wise Representative OF
Royalty in Lower Canada has offered
Sd 200! Had the government got him, the
Queen would have been four thousand
dollars out Of pocket for nothing. This
is the man who must be honofrd because
he has obtained the special hatred OF
Americas enemies" Was moi old John
Nelson of the Quebec Gazette as obnoxi-
Gus TO the British Government as any OF
u.s. What is he nowI the humble ser
want OF the Queen! a turn-coal!! Must
we now " cherish for him feelings of aiec-
iionate regsrd?" No! we ere thankful for
his services only while lie acted seih US,
and for us; and whether the remark be
applied to John Nelson, Mr.. Pspineau,
the Messrs Nelson, Or. Cote, Mr.. Mac
kenzie or any body else, we abide by it.
We say we are thankful only for what
they do,-and we censure for that which
they should do and do not.
We ask Mr.. Mackenzie what has been
done for Canada by Mr.. Papineau since he
arrived in the States, aside from the fair
promises he has made' What has he done,
or even promised 10 Go, since he went to
Frances To whom has he written 10 this
country in regard 10 Canadian affairs
Has he written TO Mr.. Mackenzie, II so
does he say he is doing anything for Cam
ada? what reason have we for thinking
that" the violet apiU blossom get again"
We would gladly comply with the wish
es Of our friend Mackenzie, and wait the
return Of the distinguished gentleman in
silence, but since he has called his family
to France, we are Of the opinion that the
day of his return will be too far distant for
the business Of the present generations; and
we feel morever that the common welfare
requires that we should detach this dead
weight from the patriot body. Our pa
thence is exhausted.

Murders, accompanied with circum-
stances more or less atrocious, have not
been unfrequent during our unfortunate
civil wars. The suspected authors Of
two Of these murders, have been prose-
cuted without success till this day; which
was owing, it is said, to the prevarication
Of the Jurors. These murders had been
committed by patriots on loyaists. We
should like now to see how loyal jury
would act in a case where EngIishmen are
The murderers and Canadians the slaughter
ed ones, II the Attorney General felt this
interest as we do, (Which perhaps is par
donabIe in u.s. we could point to him the
case Of a Canadian murdered near
the Cedars by volunteer, young child
killed at Ririere du Chene by another
volunteer, young man al ST. Denis some
time after the troubles, and some others,
if it was necessary. We could also point
out cases Of incendiarism, rape, &c. &C.,
crimes for which, seeing tina; no prosecu-
lion follows, many ill-disposed persons take
occasion TO accuse the administration OF
being partial. We would not think Of
entertaining such ideas; all We aim at, is
10 satisfy our thirst OF knowing all things,
which is the same curiosity which led our
FIRST parents IN taste the forbidden fruii. -

Erpenses Of the Canadian Rebeiion.-
The best caIculalors OF Europe have made
an estimate Of the expenses attending the

Those who were accused, or rather who
were bailed for political offences, have not
been called 10 renew their bail this morning,
from which it may be concluded that the
government officers have nothing to bring
forward against them. The greatest part
of them have undergone long imprison-
ment and suffered very serious damages in
consequence Of it; one of them foreigner,
has been obliged TO come back to Quebec,
and al! this by the caprice Of the authori-
ties, to say the least Of it, This is the
way that in Canada personal liberty is re
spected. Quebec Canadien, S0th Sept.

The London Spectator in reviewing the
work done by the last Session of the In
peraI Parliament says " that the measures
loI Lower Canada and Jamaica were hut
a mere football, the result Of the incapaci-
ty to settle the great questions which re-
late 10 these Colonies" Again, Of the adj
minslration Of the Colonies in general il
says" 1t has happened recently that the
great party questions have been mixed PIP
with Colonial matters, and consequently
it appeared that more consideration has
been given TO Colonial matters during this
Session than in the preceding ones, but
the incapacily and the wish OF not doing
its duty 10 the Colonies were never clear

COMPLIMENT TO Mn. CLAY. We find in

notice Of Mr.. Clpy's late speech in the U. s.
Senate.
HENRY CLAr.-The extreme length Of the
speech of this desperate politician, profligate
statesman, and impudent slave driver--in nd.
d,ion to other articles which we have in type
and cannot easily omit t-renders all comment
in our present number impracticable. Its
sophstry is as contemplate as its morality Is
liccu,ous and it's spirl, base. 1t is now GER
tain that he can never be President Of the
United States! u tie inefIable mcnnness,
the ,ranscendan impiety, the horrd inhn.
maniy Of that enemy Of God and OF his race
As for the cxul,a,ion Of that other man mon
s,er. John G.. Calhoun, over this speech, can
any thing be more ludicrous and delusive
We can assure that man that his Joy will be
turned into grief very shortly! The speech
of Mr.. Clay will bring the largest amount Of
/ prst into the abolition mill that We have
ground for long time!

THE BORDER Notwithstanding
has transpired since our last, TO cause
any well grounded fears Of actual hos
tilities OIL our Northeastern frontier.-
Troops, to be sure, have been muster
ing and parading on both sides, in great
numbers, and all the dreadful notes
of preparation" have been sounded and
exhibited--but after all, we are inclined
to the opinion, that the difficulties will
ultimately be aInicably settled. The
pacific as well as decided Message of
the President, the firm and united
voice Of our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress in relation to the
course best to be pursued by this Co
vcrnment and the terms Of the Agree
ment signed by the Secretary of State
and the British Minister at Washington,
warrant us in the hope as well as be-
lief, that all collisions will be honorably
avoided. The "agreement" referred
to, will be found in another column,
under the head of memorandum, as
communicated to Congress by the
President.
