THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

Every Colonial paper we have received by the late Mails contains a large amount of matter in reference to the above subject ; and it is re- markable that the Colonial press, with one or

| two insignificant exeeptious, is unanimous in

declaring its unqualified objection to the pro- posa's submitted to Congress as the basis of a new treaty. The feeling throughout the Pro- vinces appéars to be one of exultant, self reliance, aud a-séuse of relief at the close of the negotiations with the Washington Govern- ment, when the unfriendly spirit of that Go- vernment was fully developed in the report made to Congress at the instance of the Secretary of the Treasury. It is now opealy confessed by United States Senators, Congressinen, and Journalists, that the Colonies must be coerced junto annexation; and the first step towards that is the proposal to levy prohibitive duties on Colonial productions and manufactures, ez- cepting grindstones, gypsom, and two o7 three other unimportant articles ; but we are rejoiced to find that the Colonies will not submit to this attempt at coercion, ard now regard the pro- ject of annexation with more disfavour than ever they did. The Americans have certainly overshot the mark in their attempt to absorb these. Colonies. The general feeling is, that, with new channels of trade opened up to us, as they will be—we shall be able to get on very well without any more than that intercourse with our Republicau neighboars which is absolutely in- dispensable between foreign countries—and that we may, for a long time yet, be spared the hu- mitiatioa of seeing the stars and stripes waving over us.

We have given a very larze amouut of space in our present No. to articles on the Recipro- eity Question, in which a great deal of infor- mation will be found. It is the only subject all public writers and thinkers in the Colonies ; and it is important that we should all know the relations in which we are about to be placed with the neighbouring Republic. ‘Amongst the articles we have inserted will be found an authentic copy of the Memoranda drawn up by the United States Government, in which they make their modest proposals for a new treaty. We think the perusal-of them will convince al! —except the most *rebid’ annexationists—that we have nothiag how to expect from the American Government in the way of friendly commercial intergengse. é

A new invention in Paris is said to be a pair of musical boots. At every step the pressure of the foot produces melody—it may be a waltz, a mazourka, onan operatic air. This arrangement would be extremely convenient for a dancing master.

The trade between the United States and the British Provinces should, it is believed, unde: ordinary cireumstauces, be free in 1eference to their natural productions; but as internal taxes exceptionally exist in articles embraced in the i tree list of the Ik ciprocity Treaty should con-

duties as may be equivalent to that internal ltaxation. It is surgested that both parties nay add certain articles to those now in the With reference to the fisheries and

- | the naviration of the internal waters of the

| continent, the British Provinees are willing | that the existing reeuletions should continue in effect; lut Canada is willing to enter into en- farzements with the view of improving the means Of access tu the ocean, provided the as

surance be yiven that the trade of the Western States will not be diverted from its natura! channel by legislation; and if the United States are not prepared at present to consider the ceneral opening of their coasting trade, it would appear desirable that as regards the in- ternal waters of the continent, no distinetion 'should he made between the vessels of the two | countries.

If the foregoing points be satisfactorily ar ranved, Canada is willing to adjust her excise duties upon spirits, beer and toha ©, upon the best revenue standard which may be mutually adopted after full consideration of the subject, and if it desired to treat any other articles in the same way, the disposition of the Canadian government is to give every facility in their power to prevent illicit trade. i

With regard to the transit trade, it is suy- gested that the same regulations should exist on both sides, and be defined by law. Canada is also prepared to make her patent laws similar to those of the United States.
