Fl Deeper and deeper still, as the meeting {
acknowledgements, becomes the inte-
/ rest of the various questions demanding
/ immediate attention from the Legislature.
, Popular demonstrations are hourly assum-
ing a more determined and minatory as
f pect in Great Britain and Ireland; and un~
I less the gratest caution and the most ac-
tive vigiare be used by our government,
| England will be plunged into an abyss of
, troubles am misfortunes, from which she
: will not beable to emerge in haste. The |
embers ofthe partially extinguished in |
surrection in Canada are ready 10 burst
, ont into The flames of civil war; the con-
{ vulsed state of ireland, the wretched and |
, impoverished condition of the working clas-
SEES in England, will produce terrible Ell
/ fects, if the most judicious ard vigorous
. remedies be not instantly applied Mo-
, thing but the most scrupulOus and rigid
observance of the rights and privileges
which the British Constitution confers,
can save the British empire from dismem-
berment and bloodshed. We are on the
brink of a volcano, and one false step
, might overwhelr irredeemably our
country, our affairs, and our homes. These,
be assured, are not mere sounds; they are
sol emn truths: they are what the signs OF
the times Justify me in stating
! The greatest reliance is placed in the
: honor, integrity, and fidelity of the United
States Government, that it will exert TO
;, the utmost its power and control IN sup
= dressing anv ATTEMPT that may be made by
" Americans to assist the disaffected portion
- of the Canadians. But, it is understood
here, that if American citizens have made
- up their minds to aid the Canadians, 1t will
. be very difficult for the United States Go
vernment to check them. 1t is true, the
;" hour of their separation may be prolonged
by our keeping up a standing army, al an
immense expense, but il is the opinion oil
longer and wiser heads than mine that
IL eventually, the Canadas will cease &c
} form part of the dominions of England
=" NC 1t would not be just to impute all the blame
Vi to the Canadians, and no man in his sense:
7r> can deny that the mother country has act
Gil ed unkindly towards them. They, as wei
ire as others of her colonial possessions, hav'
rs been neglected, and their remonstrance
's' disregarded. The statesmen of England
~ 1t is notorious, have never seemed 10 be
a stow thought upon the welfare of tn
Vi colonies; they have considered that a
70 the people have had to do was, 10 OBEY =
oe Such has been their mischievous policy.
~" The Paris papers are busy speculahn
lnu upon the persons who are to succeed tn
up Ministers of War, Finance, and Publ
Instruction, who are to retire. The CON

en- that the French Government has ordere

ing A serious Poor Law riot has taken plac
ell at Todmorden, in the north of Englan,

by number of men who were employed by tn

left their work, and flew to the scene
riot. They were quickly followed by III
Iers hands from four or five cotton mills in IL

fish turned into field, and the cart itself W,
eet- broken to pieces, and afterwards was s

PIN the clothes off their backs until they we
iva almost naked. In this situation thew we
fore compelled to run the gauntlet, hoated a

olu ses were sent off to Rnchdale for a PAL
of horse and foot, but for whose time
ern- arrival the constables, and all who had
hall tempted to protect them, would have be
for beaten to death. The opposition to, a
s of hatred of, the Poor Law Amendment |
heir are increasing every day.
ards From the tone of Sir John Herve
/, for reply TO the communication Of Govern
hem Kent, some of our morning papers
mark, that The boundary question is not
s re- a state approaching TO n settlement. T
At il English people are most DESTROYS that
,ress should be speedily and amicabIy setil
es> and surely il must be so ere long. r
rials United States Government have manif
pre-. ted the greatest forbearance in relation
the the affair. 1t is hoped, therefore, d
col- their patience will not be much Ion,
ition taxed BY our Government.
