Our Canadian Correspondence, Mowraeat., July 3, 1849, The Cholera in Montreal—Reception of the Hibernia’s Bews, and its Effect—Lord Elgin— Business Prostrate —Indian Delegates from Lake Superior—The Weathar. Seventeen years have swept onward into the gulf of time since the cholera ravaged the present capital ef the Canadas. The recollection of the ravages eaused by it in 1832, is still fresh in the memory of many of our citizens. The population of Montreal at ‘that period was actually decimated; and it was after- terwards proved by comparative statements, that the mortality in this city, was far greater in the average than in any of the capitals of the eld or new world. It is not to be wondered at then, that the recountal of the numerous incidents of that terrible time, should be the means at the present day, of causing a panic amongst the masses; likely cause serious injury, and be the means of augmenting the increase of the epi- demic amongst us. Montreal, by situation, is pecu- Marly unbealthy, the whole island and buildings on it being limestone, and from accurate facts which have i been collected on the subject, it would appear that the | eholera follows limestone formations, The number of deaths up to the present time are about thirty, and from some conversations | have had with several of th medical faculty,1 hear it is rapidly om the increase. Many of the cases have been very sudden; death en- suing two, three, and four hours after the patient has | ‘been attacked. The board of health has as yet issued | ‘no report, and I am told itis in consequence of a warm debate which is going on between two parties compos. ing ite board, regarding the publishing of reports | atall. ‘The bags per the steamer Hibernia arrived in town last evening. The debate in the House of Commons on Canadion affairs has caused a good deal of excitement, and has gone far to exasperate the colonists still more against the mother country, Private advices repre- sent things at home in regard to this colony as still more desperate, and that the English people as a na- tion care not one straw about us, but rather desire a separation than otherwise. Since my last letter, seve- ral matters of interest have occurred. The ,Montreal Alerald bas thrown out a powerful feeler, to try the is pi of the ennexationists in Canada, A prospee- tus of a journal for the purpose of advocating the separation of the Canadas from Great Britain, has ap- peared in the columns ef the Montreal Courier, the or- gan of the hitherto ultra-loyal party, It has created an immense sensation, and bids fair, if carried out | with spirit, to become eminently popular. The Herald | and Garzette being well known to be in favor of the Movement, neither condemn nor approve of it The attacks it in a long-winded article, which, after havin nscr ipt, fearing the establishment of a powerfal rival, been spun out to two columns in length, winds up by asserting the movement to be premature. ‘The Pilot con- tidering the question too great a one to be made the ral- lying cry of a factien, rather approves of it. The remarks of the Pi/ot are not in reference to the new journal, but more to the question of annexation itself. ‘Lhe projectors of the now journal haye sent out can- vasters for subscribers in Montreal, aud. from what I ean learn, the citizens as a body are rapidly registering their names as supporters oif:t. In Toronto, Hamilton, ard Quebec, as also Kingston, in fact all’ al fronticr, the people are in favor of it,and age 2 to be tent throughout all these parts The meeting of the Orenge Association in Canada, that I spoke of in a former letter, took place the other day at Toronto. Resolutions were passed, condemmatory of the acts of Lord Elgin and the ministry, and a petition to the Queen to disuliow the rebel bill, agreed upon. The language ured is exceedingly strong and an intimation is given that should the obnoxious bill be sanctioned by ber Majesty, more may come of it. Tho Toroato | Patrict states that annexation is freely discuseed in every place ef public resoruin Toronto, and that the question in that city is now @ popular one Ex. eclleney Lord Me suddenly ed his mind, aad instead of proceeding to Upper Canada, still occupies the vice regal residence at Monklands. Ilis lordship has not chown bis nose in town sinee his rapid exit out of it on the 2d May last. The arrests which the mia- isters have been thinking to make the past few days, still remain in stetu quo, and the threats of the strong government are beginning to be regarded as light as air, Business is still exceedingly dull, in fact at a complete stand still, so that our merchants, mechanics, Ke . Kc, have lots of timo to devote to their own affairs, ‘as weil as those of their neighbors. A deputation from the Indians on Lake Superior arrived in town yester- day. for the purpose of complaining to Lord EI in re- garding the seizure and sale to mining companies of their lands by the provincial government. ‘They justly desire the restitution or indemnification for the loss, ‘They are fine lusty fellows, six feet and upwards, dress- ed in all the paraphernalia riors, E f the dress of Indian war- ditional intelligence of th ican League. weather is exceedingly pleasant, the thermo- meter not standing higher than 70 deg. in the shade. y du INTERESTING EXTRACTS FROM CANADIAN PAPERS. [From the Montreal Gazette, July 5.} Tne Sraks axp Steives,—Nothing can more ouay indicate the altered feelings of the people of Canada, than the fact that yesterday, the 4th of July, the Ame- sican fleg was hoisted on a pole in De Bleury street, and there it flaunted for a long time during the day.— ‘We believe that the same thing was also done, at seve- zal taverns in the city. ‘Three months ago, there were men in Montreal, te whore vigor Lerd kigin can testify, who would have soon torn it to shreds, To-day, the “star-spangled banner’’ may be hoisted not only with impunity, but = bed ood-will of those who used to boast themselves as British.

Wasmixorox, July 4, 1849, Canada and Cuba— The Position of the Question—Atti- tude of the Administration, Whilst the commotions and upheavings of the nations of Europe engross in # great measure the attention and sympathy of the American people, there are still other matters, nearer home, which may be of as much im- portance, and certainly of as great interest to us, ag any question which has attracted our attention of late years. Since the day—now seventy-three years ago— when the thirteen States declared their independence of British rule and colonial tyranny, the destiny of this country has hourly been growing brighter and brighter, ‘The problem has been satisfacterily solved, that the poople are capable of velf goverament ; that, to render a nation glorious, powerful and happy, neither an apnointed king, an hereditary avistocracy. ora State religion, i necessary. In no country under the face of heaven does so much prosperity, so mueh real happi- nese, exist as in the United States. We have also satis factorily demonstrated that our prosperity has not been caused by any magic influence in the cireum- feribed limits of the old thirteen States, for we have more than doubied their mumbers, whilst our territory bas been increased in a still larger degree, We have found that our constitution, drawn up by men whose witdom was as great as their patriotism was exalted, is adapted as well to the expansive and great nation which the United States have now become, as it was to the comparatively small and feeble power for which jt was designed, Can any man look back at the past Pages of our history, and believe that we haye yet at- tained our full growth, or that the limits which now mark the terriiory of this Union are destined to re- main stationary? We have been led to these remarks by observing the feeling of discontent which is rapidly epreading in two countries closely approximating to our own, though differing widely as to locality, We allude to the Spanish possession of Cuba, on che one hand, and the British North American provinces on the other, The conviction must force itself upon every retlvcting mind, that both of these possessions are upon the eve of an important change. We have little doubt but that the time is not far distant, when the inbabitants of Cuba, will be knocking at our door tor admission into the Union, and we can doubt as lite but what the people of Canad# will, ere long. make @ similar demand, We do not consider that the recent disturbances im Canada will either tend to hasten or retard that event, and we feel no desire to enter ite the merits or de- merits of the controversy. A much more enlarged view is necessary, in order to a proper appreciativa of the porition of that provinces. It was formerly the in- terest, as well of England as of Canada, to maiutatn tho connection England found in Canadaa market for her mamutactures, and offices fur her place hunters ; Canada enjoyed a protection in the British market for her product is is all done away with now. Under the tree trade system, Canadian wheat commands no inthe boglish market over that of other 8; under the rame ay stem, the Canadiaus may, if they please, purchase our manufactures, the impe- rial duties having been taken off in Canada, and tne Cenadian authorities having the power of admitting Americun goods duty tree, if they desire it. Under “responsible government,” Epgland can no longer fend the poor relations of her politicians to the pro- vinces to fill the offices. ‘There is, therefore, now no bond of interest existing between the two countries, and they hang together from sense ot pride on the one side, and from habit on the other. This is, all, a mere rope of rand, which the slightest circ ce might easily destroy. ere are reasons, aud strong reasons, too, for be- lieving that the Canadian people are upon the eve of change, irrespective of the considerations we have touched upon. Asthey become more and more uc- quainted with the prosperity of this country, so must their di-content at their own backwardness become agers and more irresistible, They bave been deseried England, and have now nothing to depend upon bat eir own exertions, And under what auspices ds they commence government upon their own hook?
