_ e communiCation to me, of a desire or) the part Of some of the persons I inOst highly respect in this Island, to address to me a public ex ession of their esteem and regard, cannot tilil to afi'ec Inc with deep and sincere sentiments of the most lively gratitude. I should, however, go forward with reluctance to meet any public testimony, which I feel myself of too little value to merit, and especially under some particular circumstances at this time, which I think ought to influence me in the opinion that I could not with perfect propriety wccpt the compliment. I have been 10ld* however, that the refusal might occasion pain or offence,

grief to besupposed unconscious Of the value of a? kindness and an honour which I highly appreciate in the full conviction that the sentiments have beeli dictated by motives both generous and sincere. I hope, therefore, I shall not be thought by you to presume upon your goodness, if I ask you, my dear to take some private means of making known to

all the persons who have so kindly expressed the desire to .do me honour, that, as it has never been my practice to seek public distinction, but rather my constant endeavour tO avoid notoriety, although I ‘shall bear away, indelibly engraven upon my heart, the ineffaceable sense of my gratitude for the gene- rous feeling of interest manifested towards nic—-yet

must at the same time entreat to be allowed to retire from the public demonstration.

I have the honor to be, with sentiments of v high esteem, my dear Sir,

Most respectfully yours, (Signed) J. WESTMORLAND.

HOUSE or COMMONs.—“ Mrul‘Iume called the attention of the House to‘ a Petition from the Speaker and House of Assem- bly of Prince Edward Island, on the subject of the tenures of that Island.” ' .

“ Lord John Russell observed, that the grievances of the petitioners arose from the grants having been made in times long past, and all conditions annexed to them, which the gran— tees were unable to fulfil. He was anxious for a compromise, and hoped by another session to be able to efi‘ect this.”——From the Journal of the British Empire, of the 172/; July, 184-0.

To THE EDITOR OF THE COLONIAL HERALD.

SIR ; I forward .you the above extract, as also the Journal fi'om which it was taken, in the hope that you will be so kind as to give it insertion in your next Herald, for general information, and trust such will cheer the despondent agriculturists of the Colo- ny, Who hitherto imagined the British Ministry habitually bestowed their favours on a select few, to the prejudice of the operative multitude. I am aware that such partialin cannot exist. But what, think you, will be the opinion of a certain descrip- tion of persons connected with the lands of this Colony, in reference to Lord John Russell’s conclu- sion, as above? I am aware they deem it; more than sacrilege for a British minister to call in question the validity of the grants, whereby they claim ownership to the lands of this Colony. But such persons are now‘ given to understand, that the some power and authority to which they appealed in 1816,.for an in— dulgence or dispensation, still continues tO exercise its superior authority ‘Over the lands in question; and as such dispensation operated so prejudicially to the rights of third parties, is it not rational to con- clude, that a government, ever provident against the inroads of oppression, is justified, in the fullest ex- tent, by coming forward, as the Ministry now com- tomplate, in order to investigate the grievances of this Colony, and adopt the redeeming measures? Trust is, the inroads made on popular rigl-nrjn this Colony are numerous in the extreme, Whilst the patient forbearance of the suffering people, through the advice of their friends, induce them to submit to every species of oppi'cssiOn, rather than commit an infraction of the laws. With the consoling hope, that the day, of retribution is at hand, and that justice, to the utmost extent, will be dealt out to them, their duty and interest is then to continue to yield strict obedience to the ruling authorities of the Colony, and to place the most unbounded confidence in their Legislative Representatives, ever keeping in mind that they are men of their own selection, and who are doomed to participate in either the woe or the weal Of the Colony. r I am, Sir, yours, &c. A REFORMER. Hope Cottage, August, 1840.
