From the New-Brunswicker. GRANT OF LANDS T0 HER MAJESTY.

We published not long since, an article from ti London morning paper, stating that the Government Emigration Officer in this Province had proposed to the Executive to grant one million of acres of our vacant lands, to be apportioned by Her Majesty, at the close of the war, among deserving British soldiers and Militia-men, and the widows and orphans ofthose who might fall in the service, on condition of actual settle- ment. VVe now learn, that this important proposition was referred to the Executive Council, in March last, but up to the pre- sent time, it has remained under considera- tion, without nnytliing being done in the matter. It seems however, that H. M. Government has viewed this proposal as one well calculated to be of essential beneﬁt to the public service, by facilitating the enlist- ment of foreign trrops; and Lord Pnnmure has addressed a letter to the Colonial Minister on the subject. After setting forth the advantages of being able to hold out to ofﬁccrs and men, the promise of settling them hereafter on lands in a British Colony, his Lordship articularly alludes to a tract ofcountry in Canada, between the Ottawa River and Georgian Bay on Lake Huron; —and suys:—

“ One million of acres would suﬁice to enable Her Majesty's Government to offer am Is set- tlement terms to such foreign legionitries, ac- cording to some such scale as the following, viz:—

Sscretary‘s Office, Kent Street, 3 August 5th, tens.

50 acres to each private; 100 acres to each non-commissioned oﬂicer; 200 to each officer; 500 to a few superior oflicers.

From the loyal and patriotic sentiments ex- pressed by the inhabitants of Canada generally, in reference to the present war, and from the best information be can obtain, Lord Pnnmure has every reason to hope that a ready spirit of co-operation may be expected from the Canadian Legislature in an mutter falling within its au- thority. The nd itionul surrender of it tract of country of about one million acres, or of an equivu ent in separate allotments, for the pur-

so of enabling Her Mujesty’s Government to offer the highly coveted boon of land, in the British Colonies, to the officers and men of the

orcign Legion, would be an im ortant induce- ment to the men to enlist, whi o his Lordship hopes, it would furnish the means of ultimately supplying the colony with a. class of German emi rants of a very valuable character. He won d suggest to hit Geo. Grey, that the Go- vernor General should be instructed to make an up lication to the Provincial Legislature on the su ject."

Upon this representation from Lord Panuiure, the Colonial Minister has addressed the follow- ing desputch to the Governor General of Canada:

Dowrmcc S1-sari-, April 13, 1855.

Sin,—In connection with my despatch No. 16 of this date, namely the military defence_ of Canada, I wish to consult you on the following subject :-

You are aware that Her Majesty‘s Govern- ment nre endeavoring to enlist soldiers in some

orei countries to serve in the present war, and at an Act of Parliament has been passed to confer the necessary powers. It would_aﬂ'ord a considerable inducement to many to J01!) the standard, if, in nddition to present pay. they could be oﬁered ii location on Crown Lundsun some of the Colonies. And it would be an _in- duoemont of peculiar vnluo hccnusc attractive chiefly to that class which it is most desirable to enlist, men of steady habits and honorable chnructer. _ _

There is perhaps no colony wlu-rc men of this class would more willingly find :i lioiun than Canada, and none which so t‘XiClla‘l\'eIy posses- are the menus of satisfying such ‘J. demand. But Her Majesty's (iovcrnnicnt have, us you are aware. no power to make an ollcr of this kind.

—

It is. therefore, proposed to the Canadian Legislature and Government, on whose sym- path with them in the resent stru lo the poop e of the United Kin om have we 1 strong grounds to rely, to take into conisderntion the nieans of assisting Her Mujesty’s Government in this project.

It is an additional reason to induce me to make this suggestion, that experience has shown tlint settlers of this class form often I very valuable accession to the population of a new country, notonly for the purposes of'indus- try, but for those also of defence.

These desputches were submitted to the Ca- nadian Legislature by the Governor General on the 19th ult., and we can only express our re- gret, that although the patriotic proposal first emanated from New Brunswick, it should, from the want of action in the Executive, have been passed over in favor of Canada, which Pro- vince, we have no doubt, will gladly meet the wishes of Her Majesty's Government, and while serving the best interests of the Empire, will greatly add to its own advancement.

CRAMPTON A1‘ Qusnsc.—Mr. Crampton, H. M. Minister at Washington, has re- mained some time at Quebec, on a visit to the Governor General. There are nume- rous conjectures, in the Canadian papers, as to the object of Mr. Crampton’s visit, as Cabinet Councils were frequently held, and there was much activity among the Mem- bers of the Government. Nothing, how- ever, had transpired, but an impression was gaining ground that these unusual proceed- ing have reference to a proposed Union of the Colonies, at no very distant day.— Nbkr.

INVASION OI‘-‘ CANADA.

The Boston Herald professes to have re- ceived intelligence of astonding disclosures concerning a contem lated revolution in and invasion of the anadas, which has been some time past agitated, as well in the United States, as in the neighbouring pro- vinces of the British kin dom. It says many of the officers of the volunteers, who served in the U. S. army, in exice, are disciplining and arming a large body of men for this purpose. They are ein loyed b I. committee of a Canada Associftion. The following paragraph is curious and the reader may believe as much of it and the above statement, as seems probable. That any number of American officers are on- gaged in such a scheme _we do not believe.

A large portion of- the funds collected during the repeal agitations in this coun- try, whi_ch, owing to the failure of the Irish in their contemplated insurrection, was never sent out to Ireland, is now in the hands of the committee, and, together with coiitributions which are frequently made. by those who first projected the movement,

and those who have since joined it, consti- tute the iui.-uu.< ruiploycd in carrying out this plan of opcrnticiis. The most promi- nent of the lCu(lL'l'.\ in this undcrtulting are a niiiuber oflrisli pnti-lots, who liavc been -obliged to flee tlicir country to (‘scape the poliucul pi.-rsccution ofthc Britisli Crown.
