SEPARATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES
FROM ENGLAND-Rev. DIR. Lang delivered a
lecture on the 23d of August, in the Scots
Church, which was largely attended. The
speaker advocated a total separation of the
Colonies from England, in view of war break
ing out between England and France. He
refers at great length to the course of the Uni
ted States in asserting their independence, and
maintaining it to the end by the force of arms
Now, my plan is, says the Rev. Mr.. Lang
during his lecture, simply to anticipate, or
rather to obviate, all the possibilities or con
tingencies of war, from any quarter what
soever, on these Australian coasts, by peti
tioning the mother country at once to concede
to us, with all necessary guarantees and stipula
tions, our entire freedom and national indie
pendence, and to recognise these Australian
Colonies from thenceforth sovereign and indie
pendent States. Sensation Such con
summation, now that we have got responsible
| government and entire freedom of trade, would
scarcely affect our relations with Great Britain
IN any percephble, in any appreciable degree
| We should still retain our British habits anC
associations, our British feelings and predilec
| tions, as strong as ever; but we should simply
be our own masters, receiving the law from
| Downing street no longer, and living in peace
and harmony with all mankind; cherishinl
| towards our British brother for all time comm.

at the same time the right hand Of friendship
