Affairs In Canada.
From tho Montreal Herald Juno %
We have little to record in the political world beyond
what will be found in report of the proceedings In
Parliament Attempts have been made in both Houses
by her maesty's opposition throw her majestys
madam cabinet into minority but with equal want Of
success
In connection with this subject we may mention that
the ministry have laid the table of the House
aton OF certain correspondence which passed between
them and Mr. Caron the late Speaker of the Legislative
council relative to the reconstruction Of the ministry
so as to admit some gentlemen enjoying the confidence
Of the French Canadian population to the Executive
council The of the negotiations, judging from
this correspondence seems to have been this Lord Ell
gin first addressed a memorandum to Mr.. Cnron, re-
questing his advice M to the best means of forming
coalition ministry containing gentlemen who have the
confidence of the French Canaans saying that he de-
sired sacrifice of prncpc but expressing his hope
existed, give way to patriotism and the public good
Upon this basis Mr. Caron entered upon the negotiations
and In order to be quito OF his ground he proposed
several questions to the ministry among which this:
Whether there was any person whom it would be no
to propose his side, He answered that there
objection to any person. 10 then arranged
that as the cabinet Is composed of members three
three from Lower Canada the seventh place being the
Provincial Secretaryshp, occupied by Mr. Daily to be-
filled up by the Governor General with the ad
vice OF the six This seems to have been understood
bargain both sides; but, suddenly MIR Csrou sig
niAed to the ministry that they exclude DAILY
from any participation In the an that he
four persons who would then join the Government -
As the whole affair based upon the rejection of per-
sonal or party dskes and still farther the seventh
member OF the cabinet to be the choice Of the
parties this Of course, ended the business Since the
commencement Of the session, however, Mr. Caron has
stated that IN consentng to take Office with the
vatves of Upper Canada he fully expected to pave the
way for the return to OF their opponents the Up
per Canadian liberals, with whom the French had all
along acted So that when he had got his majority OF
four in the council of first thing would have
been to Dust the colleagues with whom he professed
cooperate Yet, though the declaration was made in
the face Of both Houses Parliament for the Assembly
had adjourned aud mort of its members beow the
bar OF the Upper iouseMr Carons friends still camor

financial scheme He proposes to take advantage of the

upon the consolidated fund to extend the facilities

can be brought consistently with proper regard the
