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 r exhibited and when i consider it in ill its hearings i am at a los 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 i3ritainin 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 vere transported to the southern colonies i fvv 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 minots 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 generals reluctance at being put npon so unpleaant 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 2gtj february the addrefd to the governor on the navigation law was read the third time and paired and a committee was appointed to wat upon his excellency to

feffion mr jones fuppor ted 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
