THE CANADIAN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND THE
IMPERIAL NAVIGATION AcT.-It appears, by Cor
respondence between the Montreal Board of Trade
and the Provincial government, and by report Of
the Executive Council, made on the 10Th of Janu-
ary last that the coasting trade will not be thrown
open to our countrymen unless the reciprocity in
trade be established. Thus it is evident that the
Canadians think their new measure can be forced
upon US, as we would prefer to yield to them,
rather than them extend their trade with Great
Britain.
In this view, the Executive Council have con-
construed the imperial navigation act so as not to
extend to the River ST. Lawrence. An extract
from the report annexed, will tell the whole story
The Committee Of Council are not prepared at pre-
cent In view Of pending negotiations with the govern

powerful speech on the occasion and il is cur
renty reported in Washington that the terms Of the
bill are satisfactory to such Of the Southern mem-
bers as have heard Of them.
This is one Of the most important moyemen,s
that has been made in Congress since the com

with the disuaotng question Of slavery IN the new

think, is very likely TO be received with favor by
