Considerable dissatisfaction exists between the
government here and the free traders, owing to
growing disposition which has manifested itself, in
favor of annexation with your side of line IS.
The Board of Trade Of this place, recently ad-
dressed memorial TO the Queen, demanding the
repeal of the English navigation laws and the free
navigation of the st. Lawrence, without which,
they added, "New York would become the great
entrepot o. the Canada trade, which would have
the effect Oh creating a unity of interest, both
commercial and political, between Canada and the
United States.'
The government did not relish this pronuncia-
mento, and the Hon. Mr.. Sullivan, the provincial
secretary, was ordered to censure these express
slons of g the manifest destiny men of Montreal
The Board OF Trade are, however, not to be trifed
with, and they relorted on the secretary, and in
their reply considered it their duty to declare to
the Queen, lords and commons of England, all
what they thought the result which was to be
anticipated from the refusal of the emand in ques-
ton.
The feeling here Of respect and admiration for
your great energy and progress, as a nation, is on
the increase every day. and you will ere long have
TO make room for US in the galaxy of stars and
States which adorn your Union.

the Americans. Mr. Devillier, editor of the Free

in small build ling, back Of the street, which was

was this morning sentenced to three years impri-
sonmen, Considering his many offences, this
sentence seems very lenient. II is, however. AS

could be brought against him.

untrue. The law never intended TINT the
Secretary should break the seals, examine
the official returns from the counties as re-
ceived, have those altered which were no,
correctly returned aud file them all ready
for Executive inspection. Nor is it true
