State of Canada—Excitung State of Affuirs-- The Rebelliom Losses Bul, The cry is still, they come. Peution after peti. ton, protesting against the Rebellion Losses Bills _ @ntinues to arrive every day. The position of his Excellency 18 becoming extremely embarrasing ; a determination on his part must soon be come to; and as to what that determination will be, is the sole engrossing topic of local interest. Accounts from the townships, received by means of private sources, represent the sturdy yeomen of those districts so exasperated, as to be ready, should the measure become law, immediately to join the States. The following 1s an extract from @ petiiion of the inhsbitants of St. Jean Chrysos- tem, in the county of Huntingdon, presented to the Governor General on Wednesday last :-- © That your petitioners will look upon your Exeel- y's assent te the measure referred to, as an inti- ation of their having committed a grievous wrong in supporting the authority of the Crown, at the risk of ‘therr liv thore troubleseme times; and that the govei intend to jot them in theie pro. party for the sacrifice they did, to eue- jo it, for ing undergone the cruelties in- their low loyalists by the re- ng the Queen agatost them. y must your petitioners so regard the sanction of the measure by the Queen’s represen tat! it all her Majesty’s vy subjects in the provi ‘be sbal in the 003 oe which they hi rt \jesty’s go je which they bear to the ¢ above may be considered as the view of the townshippers,generally,on the subject. In Toronto riots have occurred, and much damage has been done to several houses, &c. A Mr. Price, the son of one of the members of the ministry, at- tempted to address the assembled multitude, num- bering several thousands, and was vevezely beuten. Troops were brought into the town next day, and special constables sworn in. In consequence of the death of Samuel Brooks, Esq.,M P. for the county of Sherbrooke, tke House of Assembly adjourned on Monday last at an early hour. Mr. Brooks died of a sudden st- tack ot apoplexy, at the Exchange Hotel, in this city, on the 2ith instant, after an illaess of four houre He was an American by birth, and much esteemed. The members of both houses of the Legislature accompanied the sad procession that bore the remains ot the deceased gentleman a short distance on the road to Sherbrooke. The writ fora fresh election has been issued. Sher- brovke is essentially a tory county, and may, therefore, be dependedon. s The Patriot and Colomst,two leading Toronto journals of the British party in Upper Canada, are warmly discugsing the subject of annexation Both accuse the other of being in favor of it, On Tues- day evening the House of Assembly was engaged wath the bill ot Municipal Councils in Upper Ca- Lo On Monday last the sacred concert of the Philharmonic Society of this city took place at Doneganna’s Hotel: about 800 persons were pre- sent. The Governor General was, present on the occasion; and was treated with the most unmis- takeuble signs of disrespect. He was even hissed near the entrance. The Pilot paper states that it 3 entirely ruined by the late verdict. The estab- lishment was seized last night by two bailiffs, pending the jndgment of the Court. There 18a mort amusing story current respect- ing Mr. McDonald, the member for Glengary, who voted with the ministry for the rebellion losses measure. It 18--that his constituents, to the number of 500, have sent him a letter, stating that if he does net come up to them, and explain his conduct, they will come down, and fetch him. In a trotting mateh which came off here lately,the celebrated horse St. Lawrence was beaten by a Mr. Dunn’s Queen. Yours, A P. 8. I have just heard, from the highest sources, that it is the intention of the Governor to go downto the House to-morrow, and give his assent to the Rebellion Losses Bill. A good deal of excitement prevails in censequence. But the report hae not yet had time to epread. Hawiton, March 80, 1849. Canada, as tt was, and as it 18. As the present singular position of Canada 18 creating an interest throughvut the American con- tinent, and as, in all probability, elements are at this moment at work for a gradual or perhaps sud- den change of government, I thought that a corre- spondent from this northern region might not be unacceptable for the columas of your widely oircu- Jated journal. The two Canadas have now been united for a period of eight years, during which term their joint constitution has been experimented upon by the various and contrarious prescriptions of five successive physicians, or governors, who have all been unsuccessful 1n bringing the body politic into ahealihy state. With respect to the Lower Pro- vinee, the great error committed, was, when France confirmed the country to Britaia, 1m not instantly adopting and adherimg to the laws, language, and custoins of the Anglo-Saxon, in- stead of allowing tnese descendants trom a Nor. mandic race all their ancient lawe and feudal usages. The eflsct of which has been, that the people, inetead of progressing with the Aaglo- Saxon, In art, scietce, and enterprise, have ad- hered to their antiquated laws and customs for a period of eighty-six years, and, 1 consequence, are nearly a century behind their own countrymen in old France, who have long since abolished all mutters and things oe would-be Canadian cling to with such tenacity. wae bsident, from historical record, ‘* That the English laws were legally introduced into this prow vince, both in form und practice, and so continued durmy the space of ten years, without any material opjections, except those arising trom national pre- judice and preconcerved aversion to @ system of ieee but little understoad amongst a more enlight- ened people than the French Canadians.” An act ‘was passed, in 1774, entitled the Quebec act, which Fewetated the Freneb Canadians in ull their obso- lete laws and usoges. This act, it 14 apparent, the British government pressed not onlyfrom a desire to pacity their French Vege but fo secure their services, in case ot the \ ae it did, in the American proviaces, 1n 1775. The French were, by tha: act, inthe full possession aad enjoyment of « feudal system somewhat similar to that which William the Conqueror, or Usurper, mtroduced into England from Frauce and Nor- macdy. I: 18 thie delectable order of thinge which the French are still anxious to perpetaute in this provines. . Had Great Britain ‘wisely pursued the course which the United States did,sn abotishing French Jaws and language in Louisiana, aad the Dutch io flieted upon the: bela. New York State, Lower Canada would, like those two States, have been Anglo-Saxonized loag ‘An abie and graphic writer thus describes when un- They fouad and, [ since. the condition of the Canadian French, der the government of France + Canada, ut the conquest, the subordt may add, the tributary, province of a sovereign ; and the inhavitante in @ condition more resembling slavery than a free and inde pendent people, having rights to maiatata and pro- perty to defend. Beyond the food which nourish- ed them, and the clothes which sheltered them trom the inclemency of the weather, they had no desires, and with these, perhaps, that ignorance ot civil and political happiness which they inherit- from their ancestora, taught them to be contented. Their rules of inheritance and tenure were teudal to the core ; and the gloomiest featares of that barbarous code whieh aroce in the forests of Ger- many, penetrated into the wilde ot Canada, where they were deeply and indelibly impressed by the wer of the sword. In the making of theit own awe, they hed no voice, These were furnished ready made from France, im the same way that manufacta:es of that famous eountry wete brought iscontent breaking out, | sti uments employed 1a putting the laws intoexecu- tion. Under the French yoverumeant, in Canada, the people were comnpeiled to engage as soldiers, whether they would or not, and to march to the Most distant points of the country, even as far as Ono, to make war upon the Britich or the averi- gines. The essence ot the French law, as prac- ‘used, and formerly entorced in this province, was well understood to be contained in these eigaiti- capt monyeylinbles : si veut le rot, st veut lalo— ‘bat which the will, the law ordaius.” *: Lettres de caches were 1m use throughout all the French dominions, without any oppositioa what- ever on the part of the people, or auy imagieation that any remedy could be ha fainst them by an application to apy court of justice.”” ittle were such a people fitted to enjoy the tree- dom of a limited monarchy, and still less suited are they for becoming citizene of the American republic. It will require yearsto overcome their anti-Saxon ideas, theirbigotry and prejudices; aad the only cure 18 either un entire uprooting of their French fallacies, or a ua‘on with tne Umted States; this would swamp and Saxoniee them. The tollowing progresayve view of the popula- tion of Lower Canuda may not be uninteresting to the American reader:— 1668. 7.000 1814... ++ «835.000 20 179 -5UL 019 678.690 Mee... 128 127 The Briush Canadian population are heartily tured of French domination, end would gladly em- brace any scheme that would unfetter them from the yoke of barbarous ignorance which at present enthrals them. ¥ i. je Une plan is, to unite the entire British provinces uaderone general government; another is, to an- Rex us io your great republic; and the last, put loudest idea, 18 to reconquer and beat them tate a civilized and advanced state of this go-ahead era. The teudul tenure and French laws are a great curse to Lower Canada, but of these the semi-civi- hzed French complain not, but the Saxou does, and of the impediments which the Frenchmen ob- stinately opposes to improvements. The ,taxee of Lower Canada are light, and generally indirect, and imposed upon articles Yerely used by the Frencn native. The peasantry manutacture al- mott all the material of their clothing, raise their own tebucco and sugar, One-fitteenth ot certain agricultural produce belonge, by law, to the Ro- mun Catholic priest; thie religious impost dues notapply to other denominations, so that when a protestant becomes the tenant or purcnaser ot a farm, the church loses this lien. Each time a pro- peny, under seignorial tenure, changes owners, the igneur legally claims a per centage, which at not paid, the pioperty"is saddled with this teudal fee. In Canada West, or Upper Canada, the en- tire taxes to the agiiculturist is only about two pence in the pound, and in some of the cities the corporation taxes are about one and three pence in the pou It behooves all who are complaining of our colonial taxes, to reflect of the imposts they would be subject to under a republic, where not only the State taxes have to be raised, but alo those tor the suprort of the general government. It is 1mposeible to deny, or conceal, that the Anglo Saxon will not much longer submit to the galling chain and degrading domination of Gallic supremacy. The present antagonistic feeling which exists between the two races must be over- come, sooner or later, by either an entire revolu- tion of the present governmental policy, or by a physical force encounter; so look out for stirring tume ahead. Yours, Z. Our Brazilian Correspondence. Para, March 9, 1849. Naw Movement of the British Gouernment wm re gard to the Slave Trade. I do not know if you are awire that the British government are trying ona new dodge, im the slave question—not on the coast of Africa, but in the Brazils—and,for aught I know, in the Southern States of America, also. Bnitueh subjects, residing in this country, have Teceived letters irom the British consuls residing im the different ports of this empire, requesting that returns should be made to them of the number of slaves held by each British subject, whether as domestics or otherwise; and, although no expla- nation 18 given asto what these returas are waated for, yet 1t is said, that the intentions of the British overnment are to purchase the slaves held by Brien subjecta in this country, and to give them their liberty. Just consider for a moment what effect the libe- ration of 2,000 or 3,000 slaves, emancipated in this manner, would have on the unemancipated—either in this country or in the Southern States of Ame- Tica. a to one, it would cause a rebellion in six months. And what, may I ask, has impelled the British government to act in this manner Are the domestic affairs of that country in so flourishing @ condition, that the government can spare tim.e to intermeddie with the maternal econo my of other nations? Or has the ruin of the West India colomes, not ey epened their eyes to the oly ot further in- termeddling with the slave question When Great Britain has pacified Ireland, when she has given employment and food to her own starving population, when she has curtailed her enormous national expenditure, and reduced her taxes by one half ora third, then, and not till then, may ehe interfere with the international policy of other nations, Asit h , Great Britain has no right to annoy and ari er subjects, resident in foreiga countries, wi Tal javery measures; it 1s tyrannical to them and insulting to the governments under which they are residing. Stare or Arrains in New Brunswicx.-—The St. John (N. B ) News of the 28th ultimo, speaking ot the probable depopulation et that province 10 consequence of the oppressive laws, says:--We regret to lear that every steamer, for the first few tripe, that 18 to leave St. John for Bosten, com- mencing next week, will be crowded with passen- ger#, hundreds ot berths having already been en- geged. Nor will they be confined to the steerage clase; most of them are said to be working men of g condition, and good citizens. We learn from a gentleman, who vouches for his statement, tet there are seven persons who have between them upwards of two thousand pounds, cash, and who intend to proceed in the Admiral on her first trip, em route tor Wisconsin. We have certainly come to a preity state--but this is only the begin- ning ot the end, unless our “ assembled wisdom” can devise some scheme that will encourage the people to remain in their native homes. Kejeet the Shediac railway, and good bye to--population ! New Brunswick will be to let un less than twelve months, unless something be done. Empty sto- mache are not to be trifled with. ‘he Boston Traveller of ihe 4th inst., has re- ceived papers from St. John to the 2d inet, and makes vp the following summary ot the news from that quarter, relative to the proposed railroads in that province :—* This road, which will afford a tailway communication between St. John and Quebec, and greatly augment the commercial im- ortance of the former pluce, seems to possess the avor of the community in general. It was op- osed in the Assembly by several influential mem- on the ground that the Province ought not to bear the whole expense of ite construction. A meeting ot the citizens of St. John had been calied to consider the subject. The St. John papers con- tain intelhgence trom Halitax, that a resolution had paseed the House of Assembly by a majority of 26 to 13, guaranteeing the payment of £ annually towards defraying the interest of a for the Halifax and ‘Gusbea Ratlway—£16,000 from the general revenues, and £4,000 by aseers- ment in the city of Halitax—provided Great Bn- tain, New Brunswick and Canada guarantee their respective quotas for @ similar purpose.

In the héuee, an mfant in the cradle was smother- ed to death ; an older child was wo severely crush- ed that its recovery 1s not expected; and Mr. Baze- ly himself received considerable injury.

Crovera at tHe West.—The Quiney (Ill) Whig, of the 20th ult., says :—Our hesgn os sicians repoit five cases ot the true Asiatic ler, on Saturday night last, all of which proved fatal during the night and 3 day.

One ef the city papers has publiehed articles re- flecting on the owners of thie vessel, stating that the provisions, &c., with which she was furnished were not sufficient, and not of a quality suitable tor her passengers. We saw a list, yesterday, of ¢e provisions, é&e., with which she was stocked pnor to her depyrture, and tee! no heeitation in saying that they were equal in quality and quau tity to these of any vessel that has leit thie or any other country for California ; and we think that a perusal of the lettere trom the passengers on the thip bear us out in what we state :— Sui Caisrovar Conon, Feb. 14, 1849.

You will be surprised, on receipt of this, to learn that we are bound to Rio, where we are compelled to put in fer repairs On the 9th January, three days out, we met with one of the severest gales ever encountered on the Atlantic; on Tuesday morning, we were under close reeied furesail and mauatepail; the gale increased all day and night, until Wedueeday mor ing at 4 v’cloek, when the captain said nothivg more could be dove tor the ship, and that she labored very much, scarcely riving to the awtul sew that was runing mounta.ns high ; un the meaawaile, the topsil blew trom the yard furied, the clove reefed maintopsuil und tore- topmast etay sail blew away, lost guliey and carried bulwarks Oe Jost sails und spars; the maiatop- ea)! yard wae henging in the slings, threatening at eveiy Jurch to curry the mainmast by the board; axes were brought up to cut away the mast; at daylight orders Were given to start the water, and throw over every movable arucle on deck; the tank, containieg several hundred galions of water, became mixed with salt aad spoiled ; mauy of our provisions are lost, also most of our cooking uten- ils; the captain, officers, and crew, were lashed tothe weather side of the sbip nearly all night. Ateight o’clock, the gale abated a little, yet we were obliged to run under bere poles until Thureday alternoon, and until Saturday under foresail, wheo we bent new topsails and squared away ; for fil- ten or sixteen days no table could be set, and we had to take our meals on deck; but, thanks to a mercitul Providence, | am permitted to give you this imperfect description of what I have passed through ; I shall never forget Wedaesday moraing, 10h January, standing by the mainmast at day- light, expecting to be engulfed in every succeeding wave. * * * * * * 1 do not intend to allow this little rebuff to dis- courage me; still the detention in geting to our port of destination is unfortunate to me in the ex- ueme. * * . * * * While the ship was on her beam-ends, main- parc in the water, she epruag her matnmast..

Movements of the California Emigrants—Interest- ing Intelligence from the City of Mexico--Our Mimiuster—Another Treaty—Intelligence from Californsa— Advice to Emigrants, &c. I wrote youlast from Jalapa. Our little party of California emigrants had just then purchased our horses. We have made the journey to this place 4a five days. Our mode of travelling has been to put up at mght atthe most convement stopping places. These usually occur every three or four leagues, but sometimes they are much farther apart. In one instance, we set outin the morn- ing, expecting to be able to get breakfast within afew miles, but behold, we found not even an op- tunity to geta drop of tresh water for seven es. Whenwe arrive at a stopping place we ge areom, which coste us about twenty-five cents per night. Here we stow our baggage,spread down our blankets, and joy dawn tor the night. Theee rooms, as a general thing, have floors made of round pebble stone, so that you may suppose sleeping on these, with but two or three thickness es of blanket between you and it, 1s not quite so comfortable as some other things thet might be named. However, custom soon reconciles us to an: thing, and I do not know but that! now sleep as soundly in my nest in one of these places as it I were ensconced at the Astor House. Our meals we get atthe houses near by, and cost, such as they are, from 1s. to 1s. 6d. per meal. The whole expense of travelling ia trom fitty to seventy-five cents per man and horse for each day. We tra- vel on an average 25 to 30 miles aday, but yester- ay ve made fourteen leagues. ‘e got into the city, and put up at the Hotel de Paris, about 9 o’clock. We entered the great équare just as the full orbed moon was rising 10 ell ate gases which showed in splendid relief the immense cathedral, built on the eite of the famous temple of the sun of the ancient Aztecs, oa our right, and the stall more etupendous structure, once the abode of the Spanish viceroys, and built near three centuries ago, on the site of the famous Halls ot Montezuma, on our left. There is an immense number of emigrants to Californi the road from Vera Cruz to Mazat- lan. Pai are arriving and leaving this city almost daily. Itis reported here that there aie now several hundreds at Mazatlan, waiting a chance to getup; aad a gentleman assured me that a company who went trom this city to Aca- pulco more than a month ago, are still there, with no prospect of getting up. Butatie said, on the other hand, that several vessels have istely sr nived at Mazatlan, and that more are expected.— Itisaleo said, that such has been the influx of goods and provisions into California, that each 1s cheaper there than at New Youk. I called to-day on Mr. Clifford, the American minister. He Jives in very geod style, in the front of a spacious domicil, in the rear of which resides Mr. Hargous, the well known Mexican mer- chant, whose business extends throughout all Mexico, and who has a branch of hie house in New York. Mr. Clifford thinks well of the admi- nistration of Herrera. He says it is the best go- yeroment the Mexicans have ever had yet ; that it is timid and vacillating, and takes every means to shirk respousibility. But he eays it is much op- posed throughout the country. In this city it has not a single press deveted to ite interests. The stories about Santa Anna’s arrival here Mr. C. does not believe. " Mr. Clitlord was just concluding a despatch to our government, to announce that he had at last concluded an artangement with the Mexican au- thorities,fby which they had agreed to ailow over millions ne of tobacco, imported into this country while in the possession ot the Ameri- can trocps, to be restored to the owners, and to be diepored ef free of duty. It has hitherto been kept in possession by the Mexican uuthorities. Mr. C. likewive says that he is in hopes to be able to induce the Mexicans to admit American cotton upon a duty of four cents per pound ; it 1s now Bix cents, Referrmgto the gold excitement, Mr. Clifford stated that, at a diy lomatic dinner he gave ‘on the 22d of February, the Mintster of the laterier as- sured him that he had fuil taith in all the tori had been told about the discovery of gold in Cali forme, and, indeed, that he doubted not that yet a important discoveries would uli uately be made. 1 would egain caution all persons coming to this county, 10 take nothing but Mexican coin of United States geld pieces, Avoid South American gold and United States eilver, or New Granadiaa and Colombian doubloons. ‘Those cost $17 each that I brought with me. ‘They are worth bere but $14. ; ‘ I bave been over the immense public buildings of this city, visited the museum, &c., but as these have been so often described, I will say nothing about them.

The money was required to meet expenses not provided for by the ordinary revenue of the Re- public,and authority to forestall the indematry had be ea given by the Chamber »t Deputies. Although much opposition was offered in th Seuate, it was expected that the bill granting permission to the President tu raise the sum required would be passed on the 18th, when the debate thereon was to close, El Stglo XX. says that accusations grav-ly compromising the Ministere ef War, of Finance, and of Foreiga Felehh, are to be forthwith brought belore Congress. It adda significantly :— “ Then you have a ministry full of popularity.” A complaint had been forwarded to the Minister of War ngainst Gen. Bustamente, by the Anditor of Miltary Accounts in Queretaro, for arbitrary conduct. Alter invectigation, the charge was proved groundless. The arsaevins of Marcial Blanco at Oajaca have been teund guilty and condemaed to die. In Michoucaan the greatest discord reygns among the representatives of the people assembled in le- gislative session. : £1 Siglo denounces the Britieh authorities at Belize, im giving countenance to the insurgent In- diane now ravaging the fairest portions ot Yuca- tan. The same Titers remurke that the insurrec- tion which ee emed to be on the point of exiinetien hae broken out again with fresh violence. The Apache Indians lately made an irruption imto the Department of Sonora, committing the most horrid ravages. ttl were 100 1n number, and destroyed three several detachments ef armed men sent against tnem. 73 Mexicans were slain during the stay and from 800 to 1,000 head ot cattle carried off. Thies visitation, and the little hope entertained of protection by the government, has multiplied the emigration to California. The total ruin of Sonora ts anticipated, it, as it is stated, the rumor be true that the resident Indian popula- tion (Yequis) isrisivg in rebellion. The situation of these families that have no means of emigrating to Calitornia or to other States, 18 represented as trighttul. , 7 The municipal authorities of Rio Verde have made the r'rongest representations to the sovereign Congress of the Union, to isaue a decree tor the rendering of the River Punuco naviguble to steam- bexts.

The Noticioso of that port ex- preeses the desire that he should be restored to the Republic, but not tniough a revolution. It 18 stated that no less seven weekly couriers, belonging to the Post Office Departnent at Da- rango, had been taken by the indians and put to death. Instructions have been forwarded to the Gover. nor«t Yucatan from the city ot Mexico, to hold forthwith an election tor Deputies and Senatore trom the Peninsula, to unite with the soveresgn Congrese at the cupital, : Don M. Gaudara has resigned the office ot Governor ad tnterim of the State ot Sonora, which wae in a sed state of anarchy and contusion. The logs of the detachment ot government troops that had been cat off by the rebelsin the Sierra, ‘8 sensibly felt by the government, but it does not ulter the relative poeition of the belligerenta. The sudden arrest and deportation araks the me- tropolie of Gen. Perdigon Garay 18 commented on by the Sig/o and one of ita correspondents, as a very high-handed measure on the part of Geaeral Arista, the Minister of War. Garay is accused of Conepiiing agaiust the government ; but his being spinted away without any form of jaw, 18 said by his irends to be an outrage which could not be ex- ceeded inthe metropolis of Turkey by the des- poetic Sultan Of the project submitted to the Chamber of De- ken for the construction of an iron railroad from era Cruz to Acapulco, El Stg/o says that it merits every consideration, and provided it do not pre- Judice natural rights, the scheme is preferable to any other having the same object in view. It adds that the advantages arising from the projected tailroad are incontestible, increasing trade, reani- mating agricalture, invigorating manufactures, and quickening mining industry. Trxan News.—The steamship Palmetto, Capt, Smith, arrived last evening from Galveston, bring- Ag ¥s papers to the 24th. We leara from the News that General Worth leit San Antonio on the 2h. There wae nothing particular occurring. ‘The emigrants at San Antonio, for Cahfornis, had all gone on, not deeming it necessary to wait for the gd of the government troops. General ‘orth’s expedition to the Gila will start about the 20th April. Several parties of Calitornia-bound citizens were met by General Worth on hie jour- ney from San Antonio to Lavaca. At Indianola and Lavaca there have been seve- tal ences of cholera, and some few deaths. Cap- tain Rogers, of the schooner Ocean Wave, died at Indiwnola, and Mr. Hensley, of the firm of Hensley and Folger, died at Port Lavac On Tuesday night last, says the Sm An tonio Texan of the 8th inet., Messrs. Edwarde and Davis arnyed in this city, from Laredo, in charge ot five Mexicans, accused of the murder of Juan E. Trevene, a citizen of San Antonio. One of the Mexicans, Antonio de los Reyes, turned State’s evidence, and was admitted to bail to ap- pear before the District Court.
