CANADA.-Tbe true cause of the troubles
in Canada seems to be the great favor shown
by Lord ELGIN, the Governor General, to
the French population. This has excited
the jealousy and the vindictive opposition
Of all other classes of the population. 1t is
not'correct, as has been before stated, that
there is any considerable party in Canada in
favor of annexation to the United States.--
The threat to this effect seems to have been
made solely with the view of alarming Lord
ELGIN into suth change of Ministry as
will place the power of the government in
the hands of the English, and give them
also a monopoly Of its patronage. TO sup
press movement verging upon insurrection
in Montreal, the Ministry placed arms in the
hands of the French population. This ex-
cited deep indignation and some riots, and
occasioned Sir BENJAMIN DURHAM, COM
mander of the forces, TO protest.
