AFFAIRS OF CANADA.
As Of great immediate interest, we give those
passages of several speeches relating 10 the at
fairs Of Canada The Duke of Wellington said
Nv Lords, now come 10 the last part of the
speech, to which have listened with the utmost
anxiety and am happy TO fnd in this speech
what thought necessary a former occasion,
namely, a declaration on the part of her Males
~ Of her firm determination TO maintain her SOW
ereignty over her provinces IN North America.
Ny lords, | could wsh that this declaration OF
her Majesty had been accompanledby correspon-
ling Efforts to enable her Majesty to carry these
( intentions into effect.
1t IS triiling Instruction. and confined 10 one
rart of the country but it has been accompanied
by invasion and attack upon the persons
aud property Of her M iesty's peaceabe subjects
on all parts of the frontier adIoinlng the United
States, by inhabitants of the United States, and
for no reason whatever but because her Ma

jesty Thear. and cheers.
Certainly, my lords, | should wish to see a
corresponding preparation made, ana measures "a

which prevails on that frontier, is unknown IN "a
nv other part of the world. We read of such
things in the history Of barbarian natIons-we
read of s lch system carried on against the Aus
TRAN monarchy, which lasted from century 10
century. All these were wars OF barbarlsm against
civilization. Never were there any instances u
such wars between civilized nations, except III
e the case before
trust noble lords and the other honse OF par
lament will look Il little farther into this very I'M
e portant subject and draw the attention OF govern

necessary that some measure should be taken L
induce the government of the United states t.

: Hear, hear!
Let them consider closely the consequences o
that invasion, for it seems TO me, that II some
e steps are not speedily taken on the part Of he
Majesty to enforce that passage OF the roya
l. speech of which approve so highly, shall
at find our province of Upper Canada treated muc
J. in the way which the province OF feNa
!. has been treated. Hear, hear, hear. This
of point to which beg to draw the partlcna
is attention of her Majesty's government
| entreat OF them to consider this war as
rs great national war; [bear, hear,l to remembe

Oh see American subjects coming armed into OF

ed but feel deep regre, and much surprise, when

There can, l conceive, be no doubt but tn
nd the civil government of any country Is capab

Of Lord Melbourne-in abiding to another pa
of the speech, the subject of which 1t Is imposs
bic to regard without considerable uneasine
sn and vexation-I refer to the state of Canada
on the noble Duke, while he appears 10 approve
ie that part of the speech, states that he cou
wish To some corresponding measures
&c vigor adopted by the government. III order
NE carry that determination into effective oper

on what he has TO complain Of in this respect.
