da, by which we learn that the Governor General
finding u ditf-at or impo,s bic TO carry On airIrs
with his late advisers, had solved TO Try change

end The British ke:ormors AT his urgent request,
therefore. MIR Lafonnine and MIR BALDWIN, with
several OF their political friends, had joined the
Council. The reasons for this proceeding were
expressed in letter addresses by Sir Charles Bi-
got to Mr. Lafontainc, Who accepts the Office Of
