Gerenees are now 10 be submitted 10 the

There is every reason 10 believe that
disturb es like lto ewhich 4'eiv sS-
i,aled the nelghboring British Provln
ces willnot again prove the sources oil
border contentious, or mterpose obs'a-
Gle TO the continuance Of lha. good un-
derstanding which it is the mutual IN
torres, Of Gtea, Britain ant the United
States TO preserve aud maintain.
Within the provinces themselves
tranduihty is restored. aud on-our from
tier that misguided sympathy in favor
OF what was presumed to be general
effort IN behalf Of popular rights, and
which in some instances misled few ol
our more inexperienced citizens, has
AtbSlded into a ratonal conviction
strongly opposed to, aiintermeddllpg
with the internal affairs Of our ne'ga"
bcrs. The people ofthe United States
feel, as il is hoped they always will, o
warm solici,uae for the success of all
who arc sincerely eudeavoring io,im-
prove The political condition of man
kind. This generous feeling they cher
iish towards The most distant nations;
and it was aa,ural, therefore, that 1t
should beaw8kened with moreIhan com
mon warmth in behalf of fthelr mmedl-
a'e neighbors. But it does not belong
10 their ehstacier,- as a community, to
seek the qualification Of those feelings

Of violated, faith towards toreiga ma

am satisfied that no one can now hope
10 engage in such enterprises ~ithout
encounte'ing public indignation, in ad-

law.
Recent information also leads me- 10
hope that the emigrants (lom her Maj
esty's Provinces, who have sought ref
uga within our boundaries, are dispo-
sed to become peaceabe residents, and
10 abstain from all attempts to injure the
peace OF that country which has aff,or>

The occurrences on both sides of the
line, it is satsf, ctorily to reflect, that
in almost every complaint against our
country, the offence may be traced tc
eth grants from he Provinces who

instances in which they were assisted
by ci'Izens Of the United States, the
acts ofthese misguided men were moi
only IN direct coDtravention Of the laws
and well known wishes Of their owI
Government, but met with the decided
disapprobailon Of the people Of the u
