Since writing to you by the Great Western have
to announce the death of the Earl Of Durham (the
late Lord High Commissioner of Canada) who ex-
pired at the villa Of the Earl Of Belfast at Cowes,
in the Isle of Wight, Tuesday, July 18th. He had
been labouring under very indisposition for
seine time, and there is no doubt but that the
disappointment attending his Canadian Mission have
operated in producing the malady under which he
has fallen. His Lordship Is universally allowed to
have been most amiable man in private life, and
general feeling prevails throughout the country that
the mistakes ensuing from his embassy TO Russia, as
well those Of his government Of Canada, are charge
able TO the wretched Ministry at home, rather than
to himself
No matter Of great public moment has occurred in
the Imperial Parliament since the sailing of the Great
Western. Parliament will be prorogued on the llth

country being attended to. The whole session has
been perfect failure, and until within the last few
days scarcely any Of the necessary bills had passed

For some days past great excitement has prevailed

that France has been excluded from participation

gross injustice 10 the interests of Europe, and if
France determine on supporting him in such

other parties concerned. The people Of Paris
