THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S ARRIVAL AT SHERBROOKE. (From the Sherbrooke Gazette Extra, June 8.) ona arrived at Sherbrooke on Saturday, Sheriff Bowen the Mayor, received Lord Elgin on from the cars, and introduced him to the councillors and other citizens, and to several ladies addressed who were present—and then him a con- = and loyal address, to which Lord Elgin rep! an follows — ‘My visit to Washington, although not precisely in my official capacity of aay General, but rather aa envoy extraordin: if it has not accom- poe over: articular, all I could have wines. have reason Relieve the result will be benefici ieee aie Re ay ol one ing ye col terggmrse ween the people of the prov- States. | was met in Wash- and liberal spirit, and at received and treated me in the On the frontier Thought that the willing to have their Ium- to the United States markets; fine horses and cattle in the me that the owners would be send them over the border free of duty. looking at the houses bythe way- ought that perhaps the inmates might have ioe to Took upon reci- will not be leased. i-¥ s fields, it leased to Sind again, side I the Montreal Herald, June 12.)

Arrived at the Longueuil wharf, they found the steamer Admiral, with a detachment of the 71st Regiment, which bad arrived in that vessel Trom Quebec, to serve a3 @ guard of honor to his Ex- cellency. of this detachment, we learned that the red in number, under the command of Ca met with somewhat villanous treatment the day before from the weather ‘on the way from Quebec. In fact, they arrived with clothes soaked with rain, and arms certainly not the more bright for the damp to which they had been ja rye ir. Martin, however, the able superintend- -en pie 5 at Longueuil station, quickly cleared ‘ont one of his warehouses, and our gallant friends of the 71st being | therein, speedily adjusted their pluma, and in the evening they amused themselves Highland flings and other popular dances, which were varied by musical performances, alternately instrumental and vocal. On Saturday morning they were in excellent trim, looking not at all the worse for their ducking of the day before. Leaving the gallant men of the 71st at Longueuil, the “sarge 4 were «yong hurried along the line to St. Hyacinthe, where they founda consid- erable assembly of notable and leas notable inhabi- tants waiting at the station. They disembarked, and after waiting for about three-quarters of an hour, the whistle announced the arrival of the train with the Governor-General on board. In the same car we noticed Sir Cusack and Lady Roney, Mr. Hamil- ton, A.D.C.,and Mr. Oliphant, who has come out to act as his Lordship’s Private Benreiery vice Colonel Bruce, The train having stopped, his Lord- ship was received by Mr. Dessaulies, the Mayor of St. Hyacinthe, tue Honorables P. McGilland Young, Major Campbell, and Messrs. lan, Holton, ae Starnes, Carticr, Masson, and several others. Mr. Dessaulles then read the following address:— Mx Lonp—Permit the city town council and population of St. Hyscinthe, towards whom your Excellency ha: ways testified an especial interest, to present their res- © you at the same time their most cordial ions on your arrival in Canada. my Lord, to assure your Excellency that oa among this population none but friends iant qualities of mind hich Providence has lavished On your Excel.

Hyacinthe would derive its full’ share of ad- vantage from the reciprocity treaty which had just heen concluded. The Rey.

Rev. Measire Brassard, the Cure, and another cler- gyman, also paid their respects to his Excellency. The whole company then embarked on board L'Aigle, and baving made the ferry to Montreal His Excellency and suite proceeded to Donegana Hotel, having been met on the wharf by the Mayor and the other members of the corporation. Arrived at the hotel, his worship the Mayor presented the following address:— Mar mt Pisase Your Excersescy:—It is with great pleasure that we the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of of Montreal, on bebalf of our fellow citizens genereily, present to your Excellency our congratula tions on your return, as the representative of our Sove- reign, to a country everywhere presenting to your obser vation marsed evidences of the continuance of that un- ¢xampied prosperity, which bay been its lot during 0 ae period of your Excellency’s past administration of ite government.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH THE | UNITED STATES. [From the Toronto Colonist, June 12.} Tt has already been stated in the Colonist, that papers have been signed at Washington settling the ciprocity question and the Fishery question. The American , Speaking of the treaty, say:— “ England cl pretty much all she demands, ex- cept the provision providing that Colonial built vessels shall be entitled to United States registers.” All this looks at first sight like a settlement of the uestion, and right should we be if it were set- tled, for though we do not attach so much value to | this reciprocity as many do, yet the eed dt ate ty which has so long ex! on the subject, has a ing effect on our commerce. But so far from its being a settlement, it is only, in fact, the first step in direction. The treaty agreed upon and signed by the British and United States authorities | must, before it can become effective, be approved by | the Senate of the United States on the one hand, and we are informed, by the several Colonial gov- ernments, on the other. The United States Senate have heretofore been favorable to this treaty. Even | if the matter had been brought to its present posi- tion twelve months ago, it is not improbable that it would have received the assent of that body without | difficulty; but the present temper of parties amongst our neighbors is suchas to make the matter very | doubtful. | | A new clement has been introduced into the dis- cussions on the subject, which will arouse all the bit- terest feelings of the slaveholding States against it, and the warmest determination to carry it on the part of abolitionists. It is argued thatthe increase of commercial relatiorts between the States and the | North American colonies, will pave the way for the annexation of the provinces to the United States; that the greatest ob jection on our part is the exist- | ence of slavery, and that to abolish slavery will be to secure the colonies. Therefore better dissolve the Union with the slaveholding States thon that the Northern States should again be sacrificed to prevent the establishment of a Southern republic, as ‘was the case in the passage of the famous fugitive slave Jaw, and the compromise measures on the same subject. This mode of argument will have great weight with large numbers, who are made sore by the recent action of the federal government on the Nebraska bill, but it will arouse the most ve- hement opposition, not only from the slayeholding States, but also from the very large and respectable portion of the people, both north and south, east and west, who regard the inviolability of the Union as the one grand and fundamental doctrine of every true democrat. The dissolution of the Union is re- | garded by these men as the greatest calamity that could befall the nation, and the man who will even hint at its possibility is branded as a base traitor to his country. Jt may therefore reasonably be expected that any measure advocated by men who avow themselves indifferent to the maintenance of the Union, will be most vigorously opposed by all who regard tho Union as so important and necessary. But even supposing that the treaty should be approved by the United States Senate, it has then to be submitted to the several Legislatures of British North America. There is, rhaps, no doubt that Canada will ithout hessitation, accept the measure in any Re which would give our breadstuffs free access"to the United States markets, but it is by mo means go certain that the other rovinces would readily accept the measure. New iswick requires that she should have a market for her ships, which, it appears, is not to be granted; she would be glad to admit United States bread- stuffs and provisions free, in order to feed her lum- berers, but, at the same time, she will naturally be give up her fisheries, without receiving | Nova Scotia will probably be more unwilling | to consent than any other province, unless | the article of coal is admitied into the category of | articles to be mutually free. Prince Edward's Island pton has tepresentative of the British goverine, and has for years carried on negotia- ions with the American government on the subject. We rather think the organs labor under a wilful mistake, they do not choose to inform her Majesty's Canadian subjects that the Earl of Elgin was merely bearer of the final instractions of the British government to Mr. Crampton; for we can ay conceive it ible that the British Minister would be deprived of his official character in the important matter of et ig a treaty. One version of the formation of treaty informed us that every demand had been granted, subject to the de- cision of the Provincial Legislature. This, we pre- sume, is another blunder.

Rowan having vested of the brief authority conferred upon him, a3 the administrator of the government of Canada, Parliament will be opened by his Excellency the Governor General, in person. Although the eyes ot the whole province are naturally directed to the spot where the “ assembled wisdom” meets, we are not aware that any great dergee of anxiety is felt in reference to what may be done. One minister, at least, has given the ple the assurance that little need be expected this session; and, moreover, that it will be the last of the present Parliament—conse- quently, they have not troubled themselves to in- quise into the intentions of the government, farther than what Mr. Malcolm Cameron has divulged. It has been customary to give @ programme of, at least, the leading measures of the government, prior to the assembling of Parliament ; and we all knw how loudly the men now in power, and their organs, clamored against conservative administrations, when they failed to satisfy every inquiry of the op- osition as to their intentions. The tables have een fairly turned, and now Parliament is to be opened without the slightest intimation as to what the government intends to do. ‘The greater part of the Western members have gone down to the seat of government, all of whom, with, perhaps, the exception of a few ministerial adherents, are utterly ignorant of what measures are to be brought forward. Thisis not as it should be; they have a right to know whether any measures of | importance are to come up, in order that they may be prepared to discuss them fully and fairly. To say the least, government has acied wncourteously, in not putting members in pos: on of their inten- tions on the leading questio: the day, if any such are to be legislated upon. ‘The organs have neither denied or confirmed the statements of Messrs. Cameron and Rolph, con- sequently there is no knowing whether the session will be short or long. It wonld appear, however, that the large amount of business to be done will rotract the session much longer than is generally elieved. The speech of hia Excellency will doubt- less setall conjecture at rest, and afford something | like an idea of what is to be done. His Excellency was expected in Montreal on Saturday, after paying avisit to the “natural seaport of Canada’—id est Portland—and would probably reach Quebec yester- day. Mr. Mincks preceded him by a couple of days. Thus my Lord Uigin and his Premier have managed to reach the seat of government barely in time for the opening of Parliament. It is, perhaps, to the absence of the Premier thatthe lack of a programme of ministerial intentions is to be attributed, Malcolm not being considered sufficiently trustworthy to undertake a task so delicate, after the blundering manner in which he “let the cat out of the bag” at Perth. itis tobe hoped that Mr. Hincks will set himself earnestly to work, now that he is fairly in his place again. We will probably receive the | speech of his Excellency in time for to-morrow | morning’s issue. | Affairs in M OUR LAGUNA TERRITORY CORRES?PON Terrironio nA Laguna, + Rervscica Mesroana, April 30, 1864.5 Affairs in Fucatan—Conversion of the Island of Carmen into a Military Tevritory—Improve- ment in Affairs on the Arvical of a Governor—Annoyances at the Custom How in of eu while | con sus negocios & these sym | The laws of Mexico are wholesome if they were PH¥fe ate still sabjected to some aie | anno; at the Custom House, as our newly appointed Col- pected here.

New York, June 8, 1854, Sim—Your correspondent in Tampico gaye you the other day a true statement of matters in Mexico, which I hereby endorse, and pronounce to be correct in every respect. I happen to be in possession of copies relating to the fact stated by your correspondent, which I beg to enclose, trusting that you may find it convenient to have them published in order to bring those cor- tuptions before the worli—otherwise they may never come to light. Very respectfully, yours, i. T. A LETTER PROM MAZATLAN TO A TAM: PICO HOUSE. The government seems bent upon ruining the commerce of the country entirely. They have late- ly conceded to four vessels, not only permission to yey ite maritime duties according to the Arancel Jevallas, but payment of the internatiamal also, by the quotas of that Arancel. One of the four ves- sels, the Arethusa, belonging to Somellera & Co., bas already discharged at San Blas: another for Blume & Co.. the LE atibn, discharging at Man- zanillo; a third, the Panope, to Andrea Somellera, anda fourth to Echegeneu, Quintana & Co., are shortly expected hither. Now, as all the rest of us are and haye been, since December 4, obliged to pay international duties according to the tariff of 185%, it is unfair to us to admit the vessels of individual | merchants upon more favorable terms, without at the same time conceding the same right to us, for the stock of goods yet in. The operation of this concession to certain persons ,will be to shut ap our stores until the sakl privileged class of merchants shall have realized their cargoes.

Newfoundland is not somuch affected by the fishery treaty as New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward's Island; asthe Newfoundland fisheries are principally on | the deep sea, beyond the limits laid down by the | treaty. ana it isnot improbable that she would aceept any measure which would bring more ships to her ports and place her in nearer connexion with | other countries. Supposing that these views are correct, it follows that two of the five provincial | Legislatures, v New Brunswick and Nova Sco- | tia, will be unwilling to accept the treaty, and, | therefore, if their acceptance be necessary, the whole business will fall to the ground. The Leader, however, does not appear to be troubled with any doubts on the subject, but assumes | that the boon of reciprocity is already obtained; and | the modest triumph exhibited is really rich. The | | comforting assurance with which our contemporary announces the acquisition of the long sought for,boon, | is moch in the same style as that in which he intro- duced Mr. Jos. C.

As a matter of course, there is much rejoicing a | those who placed a high value upon the boon, an: they loudly proclaim that all Canada ever asked for has been conceded through the intercession of my Lord of Elgin, In so far as the bigh contracting parties are concerned, the reciprocal free trade scheme has been accomp)ished, but it yet remains to be ratified by the United States Senate, and unless a very decided change has taken place in that body, there is renaon to feur the treaty may not become the international law of the two countries.

It is said that colonial built veasels are not to be admitted to a og ae the United States, ‘This will have an important bearing upon a 4 extensive branch of industry in this province, one sufficiently crippled already.

It appears that Don Jose Rosarie Gil, the gentleman who figured in the quarantine affsir with | the American brig John A, Taylor, conceived the magnificent idea of this political change. He has alternately be en in power for the last ten or fifteen years, whenever his party has been in the ascen- dant. He professed to be a warm friend of Santa Anna, and soon after the latter came into power he (Gil) drew a map of the island and the immediately surrounding country. The map was skilfully drawn, and all the ranchos figured aa towns; here was “ Rancho de! Padre "—two huts and a kitchen; then came “ Bocanueva "’—one hovse and two hut: and “ Palmar,” a good house and a favorite place of resort on Sundays and feast days.

Its results would go forth to the world, and he hoped that the meeting would send forth such a principle as would | be recognized by all. The object of this assemblage was to sustain the city authorities, and he hoped that there would be such an expression of public opinion on this point as would let the world know that the citizens of the Sixteenth ward were a peace loving Peoria, Three hundred places in this ward were icensed to retail spirituous liquors, which was one to cvery ten voters. Shall these things remaia in | the midst of us while we have the power to remove them? He trasted that those present would respond to the call, and show by a unanimous voice that the citizens of the Sixteenth ward were an order loving people. ‘The Hon. C.

Meeting of the New Hampshire Legislature— Strength of Pavties in the House of Representatives —The Senctorial Question—Victory of the Opposi- tion—Mr. Burke— Gov. Baler—His Message. Our Legislature met on Wednesday last, June 7. The process of organization showed that, in the House of Representatives, the democratic strengtls had been something overrated. The democratic or+ gans had claimed twenty majority at least, while others admitted that that majority might be as higt: ag sixteen, and could not well be less than six. turns out that, admitting all that the democrate now claim, it is but five at the utmost. Every mem ber of the House but one was present when the vote for speaker was cast, both parties having exerted themselves most strenuonaly to get all their menhera on the day of meeting. The whole vote was 310, and of these, Mr. Chase, the democratic candidate, received precisely the number necessary to elect him—156. Mr, Tappan received 153, and there was one ecattering vote. Counting the scattering an@ the absentee as democrats, and the strength of pax- ties in the House would seem to be as follows:— Democrats... .

There were two ballotings to fill the y in No. 7, in conse- dnence of an irregularity having occurred on the first; and on each occasion the democratic vote was liquors?

Norris, Williams, and Hibbard and ap- proving of the conduct of Messrs. Morrison an@ <ittredwe. Yesterday, Mr. Dodge, of Amherst, moved that the election of senators be assigned for Tuesday next, June 13, for which time Mr. Eastman, of Conway, moved to substitute Friday next, June 16. These motions led to the discussion of the Ne- braska question, and to that of Mr. Flanders’ re- solves. The cebate lasted for several hours, and was characterized by much ability on both sides. The work of agitation went bravely on, and is Lkely, judging from the tone and language of yesterday discussion, to afford abundant means for the ‘pg up of the abolition party. When the vote was taken, it was found that the democrats been beaten, the motion of Mr. Rastman prevailing by 6 majority. The vote stood, 165° to 146, and tl were six absentees. From present appearances, I should say that the prospects of an administration victory in the senatorial contest are by no means brilliant. Mr. Hibbard’s pave 18 are at zero, and the very mercury itself is likely to freeze in his case. ‘The opposition are confident ‘of defeating him, let what may happen with other candidates. Mr. Wells’s chances are better. The belief that, though: reconciled with the President, the two gentlemem hate each other with as much fervor as ever, will help the Exeter candidate, and secure to him @ senatorship. If he should get one still, there is no saying what a week may bring forth. It is but a short time since the belief was general throughout New England that the Nebraska bill could not pass the United States House of Representatives; yet it has passed that body and is now the law of the land. So it may be here, and the Nebraska bill be “accepted” by our democracy. A gentleman who has so many good things at his disposal as the President of the United States, is apt to prove a very persuasive reasoner when he sets about the work of convincing men im good earnest. Mr. Burke is as busy in making sport aa man cam be. He is in an awkward position. An ultra pro- slavery man, he is now working in unison with abolitionists, free soilers and whigs. He has the same end in view that they have—the humiliation of President Pierce. Hatred, like misery, gives te ® man very strange companions. It does not seem possible that any formal coalition could be entered into between Mr. Burke and his friends—a ral’s guard on the peace establishment—and opposition party; and, but for the vehemence with which he has always denounced coalitions for the benefit of other people, | should not hesitate to that he would not be found coalescing with al tionists under any circumstances.
