municated in Its present shape for the informs-
ton of friends in Canada
JUNE l6, lS62-The Prince OF Wales has
returned from his tour in Egypt and the East.
Next November he viii be EsjOr, aud will enter
into possession Of ths Ducsy of Cornwall, the
annual revenues of which are E5O,OOO sterling,
and the accumula.i ions one million sterling, the
interest on which will not be short of over
E5O.O0O sterling per snnum. Neither France
nor England viii interfere in the American bust
ness in the meantime but, should mediation be
called for after he has assumed the t9ga Uiraiy.
his royal Mghness will be appointed to act
thus inaugurating his public career as friend Of
peace and recOnciler Of msn-iH which be will
be assisted By older and mOr5 experienced heads
than his own. 1t IS intended his royal highness
shall spend the summer Of lS05 in North Amer
lea, and shall travel across the whole continent
from the head Of Lake Superior, by Lake Win
DiPag and the Rocky mountains, to British
Columbia, where be will embark. after circuza
navigating vancouver island, and retarn home
by the Sandwich islands, Valparaiso, the Horn.
Rio JaaeirO, and Buenos Ayres, at which differ
ent places he viii land and spend d day or two.
His royal highness aad tbs party Of engineers
that will accompany him viii be the chelker out
OF the line Of the great inter-oceauic railway
that is to Ina the Atlantic and Pacific with It's
iron bands, stretching from Halifax to New
Westminster. To f5uui q Caaadiau princi-
pality, it has been proposed his royal highness
should purchase the rights Of tho Hu5sOn's Bay
Company
It is not thought this IS at al likely ta be the
case. But his royal hiEhnsss intends TO acquire
estztes n Sova Scotia New Brunswick, Canada,
the Red river and British Columbia, and TO
build chstesus or hunting lodges in each, ma
king them at the same time model farms and
the nuclei Of agricultural communities. Engi-
neers and wOTkmen Of all descriptions will be
sent out; and this example of bis royal high.
ness will be followed by other wealthy men in
England, and viii give q weighty impetus to the
colonization of British North America. The
vast and eheerless solitudes viii ne opened
up for the plantations of numerous societies of
industrious eAteTprising men; the barren land
Will be converted into fertile fields, and the des-
eTt made TO blossom ike the rose. The gov
ernor OF FGncouver's island, and also the gov
ernor of tbs Hudsou's Bay company, have had
hints given them Of the intended expedition.
Suitable accommodation at different stages will
be arranged through the respective territories,
and horses, wagons, etc, provided, and stores
laid in. etc. His royal highuess, having seen
the old and worn out societies, wishes to see
young and fresh communities, and man IN his
aboriginal state and civilization, emerging from
its first elements with s the vigOr which science
and mechanical power can give to it IN the pres
ent dsy-teIing forests, making roads, build |
ing, draining, and subjugating the earth, aud |
homes and homesteads out Of the /
raw ulsterial-making sll sub5eTvient to humsn |
happiness. This spirit OF colonization is worthy I
Of the heir-appaTant Of the British throne.
