CANADIAN PRISONERS AT BOTANY BAY
"Thc intelligence from New South
Wales is chiefly interesting from the ac-
counts derived relative to the fate Of those
citizens Of tho Untod States who took part
in the late Canadian rebellion. Tho IIo-
bart Town Courier, Of the 18th Of April,
says, Ills cXcolIcncy the Lieutenant Go.
vernor proceeded to Grecngond and COM
municatcd to the Canadian prisoners the
substance Of dispatch which ho had re-
ccived from the Secretary of State, in an
swcr TO n recommendation for mitigation
Of their sentences, which had been for
wardcd home after their arrival in the CO.
lony. We were wrong in stating that they
were Immediately to procure tickets Of
loavc-they will not receive them until Fe-
bruary next, which will be two years from
the time of their being landed there" 1t
appears that Lord John Russell, the Colo
NAL Secretary, submitted the proposition to
the Governor General Of Canada, who &C.
qucsccd in the indulgence, but was op-
posed to their return "to their old haunts."
With ticket of leave, there will be no diff
ficuIty in getting on board some American
ycSScl." Journal Of Commerce..
