rating his public career as Friend of
Peace and Reconciler Of Men--in which he
will be assisted by older and more ex.
perienced heads than bis own. It is
intended His Royal Highness shall
spend the Summer of 1868 in North
America, and shall travel across the
whole Continent. from the head of
Lake Superior, by Lake Winnipeg and the
Rocky Mountains, to British Columbia,
where be will embark, after circumnavigat-

proposed His Royal Highness should p1r-
chase the rights Of the Hudsons Bay Conn

likely to be the case. But His Royal
Highness intends to acquire Estates in No.

Red River and British Columbia, and to
build chateaus or hunting lodges in each,
making them at the same time model farms
and the muclei of agricultural communities.

weighty impetus to the colonization of

opened up for the plantation of numerous
societies of industrious and enterprising
men; the barren land will be converted into
fertile fields and the desert made to blossom
like the rose. The Governor of Vancouver's
Island and also the Governor of the Hud.
sons Bay Company, have had hints given
them of the intended expedition. Suitable
accommodation at different stages will be
arranged through the respective territories,

seen old and worn out societies, wishes to
see young and fresh communities, and man

This spirit OF Colonization is worthy of
the Heir Apparent to the British Throne.
His ancestor, james 9Th of Scotland and LIST
