As I have before stated, he‘ and I differ Widely in politics. and although I cannot approve of, but musv protest agatnst, the system generally adopted by the proprietors of this Island towards the unfortunate tenantry therein, yeti cannot see one ot our own body unjustl maligned—even if we differ—without expressing my 'dctestaton. Tlte learned Soli- citor General has very imply. complained of a Committee of the House of Assembly having examined evidence ex-parle against him, and having thus endeavoured to stab ltis character behind ‘ his back. But, Sir, that Committee have not succeeded—ifsuch were their OblCCt—aud my honorable and’learned friend has assedtbrough the furnace and come forth front the inquisitorial 'ordeal purified and refined,’and his character and reputation stand higher now than before. He was tried, Sir, unheard; ’W't't’ncss'es, c illected from almost every part Of the country, were reexamined without his being present, and he has been-acquitted ; v-WEich I consider to be far more triumphant than if he had been “heath—than it he had been present at these examinations—so, 3 as is frequently the case, out of evil good often ensues: I have -"-heard, with pleasure, the observations that have so feeltngly and " eloquently fallen from my‘honorable and learned friend, the Pre- sident, and I coincide with him in almost every particular. I "(consider that the proceedings of that Committee were most un- constitutional and illegal, in attempting to try the character of any individual—however wickedly, tyrannicully or unjustly-he flmay have acted—without giving. hitn an opportunity of being , heard in hisdefencc, and I am glad to have been told, this day. _, oftbe unanimous opinion .tltat is entertatned by your honors in j disapproving ofsuch a proceeding. I perfectly agree with the C “Resolution, as amended, and l'tvould consider it to be a. boon conferred upon the tenantry if the proprietors would receive pro- duce at the market cash price, in payment of their rents. Ihave already expressed my optuiotts, OlthlOVlng the adoption of this , ,'Resolttti0n, and therefore I do not now deem it necessary to re- iterate thetn or further to enlarge tip its sub:ect matter: I will new resume my seat, in the hope, that the Resolution.may be ‘ unanimously adopted by this Committee, and that its spirit may be carried out to its fullest extent, and be the means of aflording much relicfto the tenaniry of this Islan'l.

Srn,—I beg to communicate to you-the following particu- lars regarding the revival ofreligiou in Skye, taken from letters written to friends in the course (if-last autumn, by persons residing on the Island and places adjoining. One person thus writes-“Tl1evwork commenced in the parish of Durinish about the middle ol'April last. Two Gue- lic teachers belonging to the parish were the first speakers under whom the people of the place manifested unusual seriousnels. In the month of May, the excitement in that quarter of the Island was considerable. Mr.'i\l“Lcod.the minister of Snizort, preached there several times, und'his pronchilig was blessed not only to many belorrg’ittgto Ihnt' parish, but to a great number who had gone from other places to see the work. Mr. NI‘DOtluld of‘I’lockton preach— ed there also with success. During the month ofJune tho work tt‘ianifested itself in almost till the meetings which took place for religous exercises in the three following parishes, viz., Durinish, Bractttlole, and Stiizort. Hundreds were awakened by the preaching of the Word, many oti their way home, some pursuing their vocations, and not a few can trace their first convictions to the bare reading.r of the Word; while there is not hit individual in Skye, who was accustomed to address the meetings which took place dur- ing last; summer, who cannot say that the Spirit of the Lord made him an honoured instrument in turningr sin- ners from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.” The extract which follows is from the pen ofa minister ofour Church, who seeiitingly as u bearer formed one of the congregation on the communion Sabbath, and who, from ltis having said nothing ttt his letter regarding the stzttc of matters on the Monday following, had apparently left the place on the evening‘of the Lord’s-day. He says, “1 lei! upon Saturday morning, and arrived tit about ten o’clock on Saturday night. I proceeded next day to Snizort, which is about eight miles from the latter plum, and was there a few minutes before the solemn services of the day commenced. ~'I‘he morning was deliglttli.tl——'—it bad about it all the characteristics ofa Sabbath morn. “ To a mind inclined to View external appearances in the most charitable light, it was peculiarly gratifyingto see, from no eminence upon the road, such multitudes of all itch and grades crowding every road and skirting every eminence, and flowing in streams as it were to tlte mount of the {Lord’s house, to keep the solemn holiday. From Mltll, and iPligg, and Uist, and Harris, and the main land, and (Ill ' pttrts ofSkye, thousands were coll-ei'tit'ig,r to hear the joyful sound, to behold :ttid nrlirtire the bounty of the Lord, and to experience the powerful goings forth of the King in his sanctuary; and while ‘ some who came to mock remained to pray,’ it is to be hoped that many who came to seek the Lord found him. It was indeed an interesting sight to see such a vast ntttnber congregated in one place—upwards of, 15,000 sitting upon a gentle green sloping hill side, and listening, not only with attention to the great truths ol'tbe gospel, but numbers with emotions which they could not suppress; whilst not a few, overcome with a'sense oftlieir lost state, cried out occnsionally in a manner which seemed to demoristrtttems for as external signs could, that conscience was under the powerful influence 'oftltrt trtttb. “The ministers who officiated on the occasion were Mr. extend to all.” M‘Lcorl, the minister of the parish, Dr. M‘Douald, ofF‘er-i t‘ititosli, (Urqttli:trt,):ttitl Mt". M‘Ititosli,jttn., of'l‘nin. During the delivery oftlio action sermon, and particularly at the} conclusion, the emotion appeared to be general—a peculiar; sort ofsolemuity and awe dwelt upon almost every counten- ance, atirl towards the conclusion the. crying and sighittg lie-, came so loud and general that tlte voice of the preacher to, those at a- distance was completely drowned. One could, hardly refrain from bursting forth in the words othtcob,l “ How dreadful is this place! this indeed is tlie'house ofGod,{ {his is the gate ofbeuven.’ At the serving ot'the tables the ‘ external appearances of the power oftbe Word increased, 50 mm the place might be called a ‘ Bochim.”’ However interesting the state of things thus appears to. have been on the Communion Sabbath, “Monday,” snys: another writer, after giving his account ofthc stutc of mitt-l ters on the Lord’s-."y, confirmatory of \vhttt ttppcttrs in the immediately foregoing cxtl'nCti—“ MOWIHY ‘YHSI “HE L’FEM day of the feast. \Vliereyer :1 Permit m'lll'l is" l.” {he "HS! assembly, he could not fail of seeing males and letttnles deeply and powerfully afflicted. When the public Set‘VlueS‘ of the day were concluded, the people resorted to trtectingSl in all cOttitnodious houses, such as the church, school-houses, meeting-houses, anti large dwelling-houses. It was Ito urtu- final thing to see half of the people in some of these places quite exhausted with crying and weeping, and the scene on the whole of that day was altogether indescribable.” From more of the letters than one, from which tliele ex- tracts are taken, it appears to have been the conviction of the writers that much good was done during,r the t'ettiaiitder of the Week. Dr. M‘Dontild of Urquhart, itfitsv. observed, preached daily to immense congregations in various parts of Skye with increasing effect ; and not only does there appear from various statements irt tlte letters, to be good reason to conclude tliztt his preaching was blessed to many belonging to the Island, but it is to be hoped to some who were merely visitors. On one of these occasions, as is particularly no- ticed, when several people from Glenelg were present, among the immense number who were crying for mercy, some ofthc Glenelg people were observed to manifest deep emotion. . " It is observed by one oftltc writers, “ The progress oftlte work is indeed great. 'It is now (28th Sept.) going on in the parish ofPortt'ee, and has extended ton stitttll Ishtttd belong- ing to the parish of Duritiisli,oftlic name ofI.Oag or Loric, on which there is tiotu house wherein there is not an altar set up for the God ofJacob ; and, what is more remarkable, scarcer an individual on it but and, who does not apparent- ly seek tlte‘ Lord.” ‘ ‘ It is also added, “The thirst for hearing the Word is al— most inconceivable. Thousanib travel every Snbbtttb twenty, thirty, and some thirty-five miles. The number who heard Mr. M‘Leod on Thursday Watt exceediugly great, and scores are brought to a sense oftheir lost state by every sermon which he preaches.” “It is gratifying to learn to this date (20th Oct.,)” observes the minister front whose let- ter an extract regarding the communion is given above, -‘ tlutt those under concern are in general growing in knowledge anti grace. Some of the converts ,ofliciate at the. prayer meetings, and give promise ofbeiitg exemplary Christians.” , l um, Sir, yours truly, 16th January, 1843. SACRIFICES or 'rrrr: SCOTTISH Mrmsrmm—We would ask our renders, lay and clerical, iftliey are realising the actual position in which the Church is now placed—if they are contemplating the nearness of that great catastro- phe, which is to tell so powerfully oti the spiritual destinies ofotir native land? Y”. a very few‘woeks, and the Church of Scotland will ,be discstablished. The fixing ofa day for disestablishment or secession cannot bepttt of longer than the approaching assembly. Already are the ministers of Edinburgh, whom Lord Campbell maligned, in testimony of their sincerity and determination to go through with their principles, giving up their present houses, and taking smaller ones more proportioned to their future prospects. “To show how determined the ministers ofEdiiiburgh were,” said Dr. Chalmers the other day, ‘I to apply all the advan- tages oftheir position to the promotion of the general bette- fit, he would mention, (and be trusted his Rev. ti‘iettds would excuse him for so doing) that Dr. Gordon and Mr. Henry Grey had taken smaller houses and at lower rents than their present ones; Dr. Cunningham had taken an attic iti York- pluce; and Dr. Cttndlish aiflut iii Frederick—street.

IMPORTANT DIPLOMATIC Conaesrosnnuce.-—The Wash-' ington Madisoniuit of'l‘ttesdtiy,4tli‘-April, coritainsn copy ofn correspondence between Mr. Fox, the Britislr Minister at Washington, and Mr. Webster, relating to a complaint by the Maine Legislature, that the New Brunswick authorities, in violation oftlro Treaty of \Vnsltington, Were enforcing the collection of certain bonds belonging to the “disputed ter- ritory fluid,” for timber cut on that territory. Mr. Webster transmitted to Mr. Fox the resolve of the State of Maine on this subject. and Mr. Fox has a correspon- dence with the Goverttor of New Brprtswick, from which it appears “that the Lieutenant Governor, so long ago as Oc- tober last, upon receiving:I intelligence from Lord Ashhurton of the signature of the Treaty of Washington, issued orders to the Attorney General ofthe Province to suspend all pro- ceedings upon the bonds in question. The Attorney Gette- ral reports officially that the above orders have been dtily obeyed. It appears, therefore, that the Resolutions oftbe Maine Legislature cannot have been grounded upon an nc-‘ curate statement of hit-ts.” 'I‘lic Madisonittn of'l‘uesdny also contains n letter from Mr. \Vebster to Mr. Everett, our Minister to Great Britain, dated March 28th, itt answer to Lord Aberdeeti’s declaration, and tlittt ofSir R. Pcel ill the House ofCouttnotis, that Eng- lttrttl insists to adhere to the right olivisiting all suspected vessels on the coast ofAl'rit-n. This letter is considered to be an able vindication of American views on the subject of the Right ofSearch and the Right of Visit. ~ ~ v’l‘he Modisonittn of Wednesday has the following remarks on this subject, which are presumed to be semi-oflicinl :— Tlie Despatch from the Government of the United States to our Minister in London, published in ouryesterday’s pa— per, is a matter for gtuve consideration, inasmuch as the con- sequences which ntay springr from the correspondence “to ensue would be likely to affect tlte whole American people, and perhaps the whole world. It cannot be disguised that the position nssttmed in the Dis- patch, as directed by the bead ol'our Governttient, is nothing more than a second Declaration ofIndependcnce. That for- Inel‘ Presidents may not have admitted or (Iisuvowerl any supremacy ol‘tlie sens claimed by Great Britain may easily be attributed to the foot, that although that power may have renlly entertained such pretenSiotis, they were never so boldly and distinctly asserted as has recently been done by Lord Aberdeen and Sir Robert Peel. . The question is now brought tip by both Governments prominently before the bar oftlte‘ world, for an inevitable and final decision. NO ingenuity“ ofdiplottintists‘ can hide the substance and the merits of the question from the eyes of the people of both hemispheres. The positions of both. Governments are broadly defined, and we regret to say it, (but it is obvious to all,) the grounds assumed are widely asunder. , _ , a The British Government‘has undertaken to make a dis- tinction between the search and the right ofvisitutibn. The exercise ofthe former is olisclaitned iii time of peace. The latter is claimed at all times in the most emphatic terms.‘ The All'lel'lCilll Government denies that tiny distinctiortoxists he ween the' two alleged rights, and declares, even ifit does exist, that the bitter shall not, use. right, he exorcised on American vessels in time of peace. (From the .N'cw York Journal of Commerce, March 23.) Pnocaess OF THE REVOLUTION IN [hint—By the brig Full‘ficld, Capt. Smith, which arrived in13 days from Port an Prince, we learn that the main body oftlie insurgents were at Leogttne, 28 miles from tlie'fortrier place, iii a strong po- silion, awaiting the result of the expedition which had been sent against Aux Cnyes. A few hours before the departure oftbe Fairfield, news was received at Port att Prince of the surrender of Alix Caycs, after some hard fighting. This completed the triumph of the insurgents throughout the wltole Southern part ofthe Island. Having accomplished the object for which it was sent, the expedition was on its return to Leogane. On its arrian there, the insurgent army, comprising 15,000 men, would march upon I’ort nu Prince. President Boyer-was doing what he could to prepare for their reception, by otrengthening the forts about the City, digging trenches, 85c. His force, li0wever, was only about 4000 men. Four dny'a prior to the sailing of the Fairfield, he issued a proclamation thttt all females who'wislted could go on board the shipping, or retire to the country. Prevrous‘to that announcement no person could leave the city. The general Opinion was, thttt Boyer had no chance ofsoccessful resistance.
