iuihcr of his subjects, or possessed by nny
lother State. It was a sweeping charter,
izind gave an immense hunting ground to
the Company. Settlements were innnedi-i
ately formed on several rivers, out! the Com-l
puny went to work trading with the ln-l
dlan hunters. They prospered. The French
government, to which Grosseliez lnul origi-‘
nally suggested the idea ofsneh settlements,
but which hnd turned n deal “a him,
saw the prospects of the Mud . Buy
Company, repented of their neglect, detnch-I
‘cd (lrusseliez from the English service,
founded a rival settlement, and henreforthl
there was war between the English and
French Conipnnies. l
After much rivalry and much l)l00tl§ll¢d,l
the French Company, called the north-West
Company, and the Hudson‘s Bay Colnpuny,l
bceinne united, and have continued so un
der several charters from the British Gov
ernment, the lust one of which expires in
1859. Since the formation oi'the Company
until the present. time, the tract ot‘ territoryl
granted by charter, roughly estiinuted nt
4,000,000 of square miles, has been and is
uow kept as an immense imperial hunting
reserve, the huntstnen being the nhorigi
nnl Indians, and the omeers of the Hud
son's Buy Company the keepers. The
Government has been, and is nearly 11 per
fect despotism, under which n gigantic com
mercial monopoly shut.- out by the trade
of uroge- tho legitimate demonic of the
trade of white men and tho ndvuucu of
commercial civilization
l Thus standing ananonmly ofeorunterce in ,
the progressive commercial world around ‘
‘it, the Hudson's Bay Company, from
ythe fact that its charter in about expiring, l'
and from the fact that its presence ovcr-i‘
shadows Canada, and is on the soil of thel:
United States, has attracted the particular‘
attention of the two latter countries to-ll
words it. A year ago, President l’ierceh‘
in his Message, referred to the misunder- ‘
standing existing Is to the poueuory ‘
rights of the Company on the soil of the ‘
UnitfiStates. and spoke of the cession o ‘
its ri a reserved to it hy the Oregon ,
treaty, an the readicst means of termiaa- ‘
ting all difienltiel. We have now account. I
that the Toronto Board of Trade have also“
turned their attention towardtr the Compa- ‘
ny as it stands in reference to Canada. ‘
On the 4th instant, the Bord held a, mee
ting with a view at allording an opportn- ‘
nity to certain gentlemen, long residents of
the Hudson's Boy Territory, to call atten
tion to the advantage! of opening a direct
commercial intercourse with that extensive
field of enterprise. The meeting was well
attended and many interesting statements ,
were made. It was stated that the Hud
son's Bay Territories comprised “several
vast regions as large as Canado in extent,
and not iaferior to her soil, and in all the
requisites for forming a nation, and it wan
contended that the whole of that tract of
country wan properly Canada. It original
ly was New Fr-nce or Canada, and wool
still Canada, having pet-n conveyed as
such to England by Treaty in 1763. But
the Hudson's Bay Company new exclusive
ly occupied it, prohibiting immigration and
agriculture, and almost every attempt to,
improve it. It was a country the produce’
of which ought naturally to pass through!
Canada hands. At one time its products
passed through Condo and enriched Mon
trcal. This was in the time of the North
weut Company, but on the union of the two
Companies the trade was again diverted,
and all the products were made to pm by
. way of Hudson’s Bay to England. The
very fun purchased in Toronto were got,
pcl’llllpl. only ninety miles distant, at‘
' l’cnctauguishcnc, whence thcy were sent tot
Lake Baron, and then to lludsons Uay,|
and so to England, Canadian merchants
{purchasing them in London and bringingl
‘ltltctfl heck to Toronto. The stockholders‘
‘lin the company were amassing a great deal:
‘!ni' wealth from the monopoly they nsnrped.‘
'l'l‘hcir trade sale.- in London, in March last,|
‘lnnwunted to £450,000. What their salon
.l were elsewhere it was impoasible to hay,l
in: they were not in the lmhit oi' cominuni-l
’cuting much hirermation about their afl'airs'
tl to the public. The history of the fur trade[
it was cocval with the history of Canada, and;
t'it only requiredun acquaintance with it to‘
l; he autistictl that the company had no title
ate the exclusive rights and privileges they
{i now claimed." It was argued, thcrcl'urc,
II that the Hudson's Bay 'l‘crt'itory nhould bc
[lei-aimed as being properly (.‘anndn, and it
-I was suggested that inntcml of the \lon'
