We liear of four or five thoufrnd Set¬ tlers arrived from home this leafot. ; and 11 1- talked of as a greatacceffion to the population of the Provinces. It is a mete drop from the bucket. England alone could f-are fifty thoufemd people annually, while (he would be rd.efhed attl ftrcngtbencd by the difcharge. In war, England fent abroad annually more than twenty thoufand of her yotr.hful ions to be- flain, and more than twenty thouiand of her daughters (hot artef 'hem the Jaft hope of honourable love. in thele twenty five ><ears of war, ihe population of Eng'and rapidly ?ncr*ae- ed : what is it to do now, when w.ir 1*3 it an end, when love and opp »rtunity arc no longer to be foiled, and the poor laws have provided fu'renance for children independent of the parent's care ? Under exfftmg cirrumlanccs, it i% abfoHitely tieceffuy, ev«-n for th* do. meltfc comfort-«f England, that a vmt fhouldbe immediately opened f r her incrcafiig population, and the co! >ni- zation of Canada, if once begun, up ^n a liberal fo *ing, would a (lord this vent. The prefent emigration f;o n Eflgtattd affords no relief whauver to the calamity oecalioned by thf Poor lawa. ThoufamJa and tens of thoufomla of pnipers could be ipai«d, vdw cannot p.Mfihly now gtft off for want of means but who w -uld bM brought over by men of capital, were confidence for adventure here, once e(Ubrilhed The extent of calamity already occa- (ioned by the fyftem of 'he Poor law^ cannot be even imagined by ft ranger* They may form forne idea, bvwev&r, when I tell th'n, that laft winter I fiw in one parrfh, ( Slack wall, w". bin j mi.es o* f «mdon») Icvrrfll hond-ed^ of abl> bodied men liarneiLd a<*d yolc-d. 14 in* gether, in crts, hauling gravel for t'.c re¬ pair of the highways ; -*h 14 men per¬ forming jufl about a** mmh woik a? an old hole led by a bov could accomptifa* We have heard finer, that i't^'OO.ooo ha* been voted to keep the poor at w»rk ; and perhaps the -n"ft melancholy conli deration of the whole i-, that there are people who tmft to fuch means as a cure for the evil While all thi« is true : wh^n the mo¬ ney and labour of England is thus waft* ed : when thnufanda of our fVHow fuh- jecAs are emigrating into the States of America: when we even hear of them being led off to mix with the boors of Polannd, in the cultivation of a ctount-y,- where the nature of the Government mud counteract the utmoll efforts tow¬ ards improvement,—is it not provoking that all this fhould go on merely from a reigning ignorance of the fuoer ior ad¬ vantages which Canada has in (lore, and a tboughtlefmefs as to the grand policy which mi<xht be adopted for t he general aggrandizement of the Britiih nation. Some have thought the exclufion of American cwizens a great bar to the jfpeedy fettlement of Canada ; but a lib¬ eral fyilem of colonic.tion from Europe, Would render thi= of fmall importance. Before comincr to a decided o:;in;on oa this import.ini f-bj-'ut.I 00k much pams to inform myfelf of facts. A minute enquiry on the fpot where Government has endeavored to f Tee a fettlement, fat- i^fied me as to the caufes of the too no¬ torious failure thwe. It convinced mc that the fault by no means reded with the incapacity of the fertler*, but reflat¬ ed from the fyftem porJbed. I have Gnce fpent a month perimbuiating the Genefee country, for the e!;pref3 pnr- pofe of Forming a enmpaufon between Britifh and American managemeM',— That country lie3 parallel to thw ; it pofles no fnperior advantages : ita fettle¬ ment began ten year* later : yet I am I you mould advertize the excellence of afnamed to fay, it ia already ten yeaf^be- the raw material which Nature l..-s la- vi ASly fprtad before you ; you fhould infpire confidence, and tempt able ad- ver-tortr* from home. At this time t^e»earethoufands of Britiffi Farmers (lefcemd with disappointed hopes, who would readily come to Canada, did thevbnt know the truth : many offhtfe could frill command a few thouiand poinds to begin with here ; while others lei's able in means, have yet preferved their character for fkill and probity, to entitle them to the confidence of capi taKfts at home, for whom they could acl fore Canada, in imorovement. This has been afcribed to the fupe-ior dexter¬ ity of the American people, but mo.fc erroneoufly. The art of clearing land is as well understood here asin theScates: men direct from Britain are as rnergfttC and after a little pra&ice, fnfltciemly expert wiih the axe. while thry are move regular in their habit* and more pcrfe- vering in their plans than the Ame;i- can«.
