We see that the privations and hardships of the lir;t emigrants in new settlements at pre¬ sent are extremely bnrfhcnsnoie, and ma¬ ny of them tnnnot be provided a^.tinst ly any possible precnntion, nor will an\ one acquainted with U,? labour of trans¬ forming a wilderness into fniufu! fields hesitate in reneurrruj{ with Lord (ha- (iiam'N exe'amation, l- Viewing our fel¬ low subjects in America in tberoriginal forlorn, and now nourishing state, Che) may be cited as illustrious instance^ to instruct the world what -iieat exeitious mankind will make if left to the free ex¬ ercise of their own powers,*1 because it may he with equal propriety applied af¬ ter a few years to every now settlement. Nor is it disputed that the first emigrants to America had still greater hardships to encounter from the low state of naviga¬ tion and commerce, and the difficulty of intercourse with the parent state. But when the contentions between lhe proprietors of the different Colonies and the persons to whom they had either granted or sold portions of their lands— the rebellion in Virginia—enacting laws inconsistent with those of the parent ntato —and the quarrels of their Legislature £rexhibited, and when I consider it in ill its hearings I am at a lo<s to deter¬ mine whether it manifests greater wick¬ edness or folly. The case, when sepa¬ rated from your false colouring and mis¬ placed nai relive is as follows. On the Conquest of Xova Scotia, and its final cession to Great I3ritain,in 1713, at the treaty of Utrecht, many French inhabitants were allowed to remain, on faking the oath of fidelity to the British Crown, with an exemption from carrying arms either against the French or Indians. This oath was several times repeated, but after a lapse of forty years it was judged necessary in a time of peril and alarm, and after many of these Aeadians had joined these countrymen in a previ¬ ous war, to refuse the continuance of this exemption. The French inhabitants would not submit to this, and absolutely refused to hear arms under any conside¬ ration, and requested, rather than make such an engagement, to be transported to Newfoundland,01 some French Colo¬ ny. The obstinacy with which this re¬ fusal wfl*persisted in increased the sus¬ picion tint none of them were faithful to their oath*, and the experience already had that many were unfaithful, and the general belief that all secretly favoured their countrymen in their incursions in¬ to the Province, induced the British Com¬ mander to send them, out of the Colony. Accordingly ('*cy *Vere transported to the. Southern Colonies ;i f^vv to each, so Scotia, and consequently to the other Colonies* Of this case yon have made out a har¬ rowing tale from Minors History of Mas- sachusetfs a work of questionable au- thtnity, and this very part contradicted by the documents produced to support it. After separating yours & Minot's gloss¬ es and amplifications, and lamentations, and execration?, &c. and examining the proofs, we find them reduced totwo. 1st, a manuscript of Genera! Winslow, who was appointed to execute this disagreea- hle measure. This record gives no opi¬ nion on the subject—speaks neither in favour nor against the sufferers, but mere¬ ly expresses the General's reluctance at being put npon so unplea>ant a duty, and this every feeling man, however ne¬ cessary the measure had been, would not have hesitated to express. Even Minot admits that these inhabitants, if allowed to go w here they pleased, would have proceeded to Canada, from whence it was obvious that this would have been to re¬ cruit it with soldiers, who would have returned in arms upon the British fron¬ tiers. But notwithstanding this rtdnris- sion of Minot, you distort the whole and contrive, by employing all the resources of a false rhetoric, to make the measure seem unnecessary and extremely cruel. 2nd- The second document is the pe¬ tition of the sufferers, which corroborates the view of the case given above—admits ail (he facts—allows that there was room for suspicion, but asserts the innocence of the majority, while it expresses their determination not to bear arms. In addition to these proofs of the dan¬ ger of having this doubtful population in the midst of a colony, we find that ^reat anxiety was expressed by the French King for the Aeadians, and that he offer¬ ed to send ships to tranfport them to France, looking upon them as among his most faithful subjects* No man will question your boldness and temerity, whatever they may think of your judgment,'when it is considered that vou depreciate Smollet—the writers of ihe Universal History—and Entieke, in oider fo exalt .Minot, whom they flat¬ ly contruret—and this same Minot is as determined an enemy of Great Britain as yourself, though not so adroit in compo¬ sing slander against her. The remainder of this Section is taken up with {Mictions which arise about taxa¬ tion previous to the rebellion, which we shall again meet, for your work abounds in repetitions. In the mean time we may safely affirm, that notwithstanding your Parliamentary Orators, we shall find that Great Britain has nothing to regret at the separation of children so ungrate¬ ful but the great expence of blood ar**! treasure which attended that separation. Parliament of Upper-Canada. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. Tuesday* 2gt/j February* The addrefd to the Governor on the navigation law was read the third time, and paired, and a Committee was appointed to wa:t upon His Excellency, to know when it would be received. Mr. VanKoughnett brought in a bill to repeal the law, granting poundage to the Receiver General. He Hated that when the office was firft cllablifiied, the poundage was insufficient, and that on application to the Lords of the Tre^fu-v r.hr JfoaaWBr ifitottwai! WW allowed £j'GQQ per annum without poun¬ dage—the per centagc amounted to from Jjtzao to JdzooQ per annum, and the object of the Bill was, to allow that office the falary, and apply the fees to the ulc of the Province—read firil time and ordered to be read a fecoud time to-morrow. Mr. VanKoughnett brought in a bill to provide for the payment of a fixed falary to the Receiver General of this province, in lieu of poundage—read the firft time, & ordered to be read the fecond time to- ftatc—they were in want of funds to pay the demands again 11 them—there waa no frcurity in the Revenue—nor could there be any while their fifter Province could do as fhe pleafed—They were Bankrupts laft year, and fraudulent Bankrupts thn year— it would be found, if the accounts were produced, that appointments had been made, which ought not to have been made — It was his with to enquire into the flate of the accounts, and the caufes which had brought on their poverty. Mr. Frafcr wa9 induced to oppofe the motion, becanfe the feflion would be fhorr, and it could be of no ufeto require papers which could not be examined into during the feffion. Mr. Jones fupported the motion with an amendment which he had to annex— Sums were called for which could not be had in the prefenr ftate of the Revenue— and he thought it juft that large falaries fhould be retrenched—Money waa now of greater value than it had been three years ago—and a perfon receiving ^500 at the prefent time, was as well paid a9 he that received 5610OO two or three years ago— He therefore moved, that, fince they were called upon to pay the debts due by the Province, and fince the Revenue yas insufficient for their difcharge, an ad- drefa be presented to His Excellency, fimilar to the former. Mr. Durand felt it his duty to fupport the motion, and inveighed apainft the allowance of ,£400 a year co the Speaker of the Upper Houfe—Carried unanimouflv —and a Committee appointed to draft an addrefs. Post-Office. Mr. Nichol dated that hisobjcA in having Mr. Allan called to the Bar of the H -ufe to be examined, was not to cenfure that Gentleman, whofe conduft was exemplary, and who had filled the fituation of Poft Matter at York for feveral years to the fatisfaflion of the Public—it was to (hew the bad regulations of the Department. The anfwers made by Mr. Allan to queftionsput by Mr. Nichol. proved that letters were charged more in proportion for fhort difiances than for long—on the conclufionof the Examination, the lioufe refolved to go into a Committee upon ic to-morrow. Mr. Cotter obtained leave to bring in a bill to regulate the infpeftion of fl>ur, which was read the firft time, and ordered to be read the fecond time to morrow. Mr. Frafer obtained leave to bring in a bill for the belter divifion of the counties of Lenox and Addington—which was read the firft, and ordered to be read the fecond time to-morrow. Mr. Frafer faid the Bill had paffed the Houfe laft feffion, but owing to the want of due notice, it had been loft in the Upper Houfe—there was a Gore between Erneft Town and Fredetickfburgh. not claimed by either townihip, the Inhabitants of which could not be compelled to per¬ form militia or road duty—this evil would be remedied by the prefent Bill. Mr. Robinfon obtained leave to in a Bill to regulate the trade between this Province, and the United States of Amer¬ ica, by inland navigation—which was read the firft, and ordered to be read the fecond time to-morrow.

He did not approve of the fentiments of thofe Gentlemen, who feared that the full bring mo row.
