My Lord,—-— I have the honor to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a Resolution, which has been filaccd in my hands, by the Delegates from ova Scotia and New Brunswick, now in England, adopted by them as a means oi bringing Prince Edward Island into the con- templated Union of the British North Ame- rican Provinces. I forward this Resolution to Your Lordship, at the request of the Delo- gates, that it may be communicated to those gentlemen who are appointed to be delegates on behalf of Canada, and that it may be a.- certained how far it meets With their concur- rence. I have further to request that you will apprizc the Lieutenant Governor of' Prince Edward Island of the result. I have, in the meantime, transmitted a copy to Lieutenant

Governor Dundas of the Resolution and of i 7

this Despatch.

I have taken this course, in order to give effect to the wishes of the Delegates, now in England; but it must be understood that I do so, without expressing any opinion of my own on the subject, as this would be prema- ture at the present stage of the question.

and as the «Nth mom of the.

land question, which has so long and so in— jurioust agitated that Colony, would be attended with great benefit, and at the same time place the local Government of the Island, by the possession of the proprietary lands, now on a footing with the other Pro- vinces, which have Crown Lands and Mine- rals as a source of local revenue.

Therefore Resolved—-

That, in case the Legislature of the Island should authorize the appointment of Delegates to act in conjunction with those trom the other Provinces, in arranging a plan of co- operation, prior to the meeting of the Impe- rial Parliament, the delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are hereby pledged to support the policy of providing such an amount as may be necessary for the purchase of the proprietary rights, but not to exceed $800,000.

Copy of a Reporl of a (‘ommiltcc of the Honourabie (/19 Executive: Council, ap- proval by His Exlit'CZ/tllt‘j/ the Governor General, in Council, on the 22d October, 1800.

The Committee of Council have had under their consideration the despatch of the ( ‘olo- nial Secretary to Your Excellency, ofthe 20th September last, and the accompanying Reso- lution of' the Delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and they now beg leave to report——

That the Resolution referred to is as fol- lows :—

At a meeting of the Delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, held at the Alex- andra Hotel, London, on the 22nd day of Septen‘iher, 1800, all being present except the lion. Mr. \Vilmot, it was unanimously re- solved that, inasmuch as the co-opcration of

Prince Edward island, though not indispen- sable to a Union of the other B. N. A. Pro-

vinces, is. on many accounts, very desirable ; 5

and as the settlement of the Land Question, agitated that Colony, would be attended with great benefit, and, at the same time, place the local (iovcrmnent of the, Island, by the possession of the Proprietary lands, more on a footing with the other l’rovinuw. which ham: ('rown Lands and .‘linv-ralv. :1‘: heel

Therefore Resolved——

That, in case the Legislature of the Island should authorize the appointment of hole gates in conjunction with those from the oth- er Provinces, in arranging a plan of co-opc- ration, prior to the meeting of the Imperial Parliament, the Delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are hereby pledged to support the policy of providing such an amount as may be necessary for the purchase of the Proprietary Rights, but not to exceed eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000).

It would sepm, from this Resolution, that the gentlemen from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick 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 set- tlement of the Scheme of Union, it is to be inferred that their pledge can only be car- ried out by their advocating the insertion of a clause in the Imperial Act, binding the l future Government and Legislature of United British North America, to pay the sum of $800,000.

The Canadian Government do not consider that they have any power or right to consent to the payment of that, or any sum, without the previous consent of the Canadian Parlia- ment, and they, therefore, cannot confer up- on their Delegates powers which they do not themselves possess.

The Committee fully appreciate the mo~ tives which induced the Delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to adopt the Re- solution, and they agree with the Delegation as to the dcsirableness of bringing Prince Edward Island into the contemplated Union.

The Committee are of opinion that ever proper exertion should be made for that pur- pose, and recommend that the subject of the adjustment of the land question should be fully discussed by the delegates from the three Provinces in London, in aliberal spirit. Should the result of the discussion be, that, in the opinion of the Delegates, pecuniary compensation should be given to the Propri- etors, for the surrender of the Proprietary rights, the Committee would further re- commend that the Canadian Delegation be authorized to join with those from the Mari- time Provinces, in a strong representation to the first Government and Parliament oi the United Provinces, in favour of their granting the compensation agreed upon by them.
