TO HIS EXCELLENCY GEORGE DUNDAS, Ese., LIEUT. GUVERNOR, &c., &.

I trast, how- ever, that the short delay which !\4s been thus occasioned has not induced you te suppose that i intended to let the matter pass without public comment. As far as regards my own per- eonal feelings, l assure you that the fact of my having been | sulyected to such a mark of cens ire from such @ svurce, does Commission; and may be noticed more at length, as constitut- and will afford on g of the most gratifying certificates of cha- racter that L could desire.

pounds in part payment of those estates; 6th—the application

for money to pay the Volunteers, and an act to legalize their

enrollment; and 7th—the paragraph relating to the visit of ‘the Prince of Wales. These were the principal points in the Speech, as they were, of course, in the Answer, and were very warmly debated. Amendments were moved to all but the first and last of the paragraphs here enumerated. The first amendment was that in reference to the Land
