A bill of Rights for the Red River se:-
element, has been agreed upon and pre-
sented to the authorities at Ottawa. One
of the demands made is for the session of
large tract of land, exclusively for the
French population. Another is, that no
troops shall be sent into the Territory;
but to maintain peace, force of 1000
men, composed of residents of the Terri
tory, shall be equipped and paid by the
Dominion government. There are other
points of minor character, which will be
considered when the subject is reached in
proper manner, and through a legitimate
channel. The Daily news, government
organ, published at Montreal, announces
semi officially that the transfer of the
Northwest Territory to Canada has been
completed, Great Britain guaranteeing
peaceful transfer and possession thereof
This latter guarantee may not be so easily
made good. The half breeds are a wild,
determined race. and will be hard to over
come, especially when fighting upon soil
which affords them such natural coverts
and Businesses.
The st. Pau! Press prints a long COM

which the following stanza is 81 specimen:
