Prince Ed ward Island.

Downing Street, 19th January, 1867. No. 3.

Sir,—

The negotiations respecting the proposed Confederation of the British North American Provinces have reached a point at which i think it right that you should be generally apprised of the mode in which that proposal is viewed by Her Majesty's Government. They are not unaware of the difficulties which must attend any attempt to consolidate in one body politic, a variety of Provinces whose habits, laws, and interests must be, in many respects, different, and in some perhaps not wholly compatible. By far the most im- portant part of those dillicultics has been removed in the present instance by the wise and loyal foresight of the pub- lic men of Lower Canada, who, in their treatment of this subject, have shown themselves able to reconcile a manly support of their hereditary customs and Institutions with a generous confidence in the justice and friendly feeling of The questions which remain in controversy will be approached

their more numerous fellow subjects of British origin.

by Ilcr Majesty’s Government with anxious and careful at- tention, but, I must add, in no spirit of indifference.

That in timcot war or tumult the armed force of British North America should be 0ne,under one Supreme Command. That in time of peace, their commerce, their post, their great lines of communication, and, with due regard to local usage, their civil and criminal jurisprudence, should be governed by the same rules: that an extended public opi- nion should be brought to bear on the settlement of narrow local controversies, and that the most important affairs of British North America should be administered by a combi- nation of the ablest men whom it can furnish. These bene- fits appear to me so indisputable, so pervading, and so per- manent in their character, that I should be wanting to my duty if I did not express to you, and through you to the community over which you preside, my earnest hope that no trifling obstacle will be allowed to interfere with their full attainment.

As my object is not to express any opinion on the details of this measure, but to give to the principle on which it is founded, that frank support which Her Majesty’s Govern- ment consider to be due from them, 1 shall only add, that you are at full liberty to communicate this despatch to

your Executive Council. h I have, &c., &c., &e.,

(Signed) CARNARVON. Lieut. Governor Dundas, &c. &c.

Holloway’s ()intment-Agomsing Pains—It is gratifying to hem- sulfcrers recount the case they derived when first they applied this Ointment to their ulcers. sores or abscesses, wiih which they had been afflicted for years. Soon after its application to a bad log or inflamatory ulcer, it restrains the excitement of bleedvessels and nerves. which at once brings coolness and comfort, and further the grrdual deposits of healthy materials to fill all the ravages caused by debility and diseaSo. It expels all noxious matters, and heals all sores soundly. It gives ease to varicose veins, bad legs, and swelling of the joints when the agony is almost unremitting and the pain too'_much for a giants strength.
