ofone thirdof the delegates, it hidas yet

sealed on this polut, he could gadertake hesrt-
ily to welcome those representatives ui the
North American Colonics who were then

her Majesty's Governinent to promise an
earnest and cespectfal aviention to everything

to consider the question, ilo promised them
that they would find no lukewarmness, vo in-

distrust on the part of the mother country—

alty and affection to that couniry on the part
of the colonists.—(Cheers,) Changes mast

would vary our relations with some of our

Copy of a Report of a Commitee of the Hon-

His Excellency the Governor General, in
Council, on the 22d October, 1866.

‘The Committee of Council have had under
their consideration the despatch of the Colo-
nial Secretary to Your Excellency, on the
26th September last, and the vecompanying
Resolution of the Delegates from Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick, and they now beg leave
to report

That the Resolution referred to is as fols
lows :—

Ata mecting of the Delegates from Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, held at the Alex-
andra Hotel, Londen, on the 22nd day of Sep.
tember, 1866, all being present except the
Hlon. Mr. Wilmot, it was unanimously re-
solved that, inasmuch as the co-operation of
Prince Edward Island, though not indispen-
sable to a Union of the other BLN. A, Pro-
vinces, is, on many accounts, very desirable ;
and as asettiomentof the Land Question,
which has so long and so injuriously agitated
the Colony, would be attended with) great
benefit, and, at the sume time, place the local
Goyermment of the Island, by the possession
of the Proprictory lands, more ona footing
with the other Provinces, which have Crown
Lands and Minerals, a8 @ source of local
Revenue,

‘Therefore Resolved—

‘That, in case the Legislature of the Island
should authorize the appointment of Delegates

vinces, in arrangihg a plan of co-operation,
priorto the meeting of the Imperial Parli:-
ment, the Delegates from Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick are hereby pledged to sup-
port the policy of providing such an amount
as may be necessary for the purchase of the
Proprictory Rights, but not to exceed eight
hundred thousand dollars ($8000,000).

It would seem, from this Resolution, that
the gentleman from Nova Scotia and New
Brnnswick pledge themselves as Delegates,
and not as representing the Governments of
their respective Provinces, to support the
policy of providing the amount mentioned.

As their powers will expire with the settle-
ment of the Scheme of Union, itis to be in-
ferred that their pledge ean only be carried
out by their advocating the insertion of a
clause in the Imperial Act, binding the future
Governmentand Legislature of United British
North America, to pay the sum of 8800,000.

The Canadian Government do not consider
that they have any power or right to consent
to the payment of that, or any sum, without

yey

in conjunction with those from the other Pro--
