A PROCLAMATION.
Among (lie many evil* produce! by the
wnr*, which, with little intermission, have af
flicted P.urojte, and extended their ravage* in
to other quarters of«he eloSr, for a period ex
ceeding twenty years, the dispersion of a con •
aiderahle portion of‘he inhabitants of different
countries, »n sorrow anti in \nnt, has not >ren
the least inpirion* to human happiness nor,the
least severe in the trial of human virtue.

or every description, it only romjned to an*
swer the demand* of justice, by inflicting an
exemplary punishment.
U,it it has since been represented, that the
ofLnd. rs have manifested a aincere penitence;
that they ’have abandoned the prosecution of
the worst range for the support of the Vest;
and particularly, that they have exhibited, in the
defence nr Vew Orleans, unequivocal traits «f
courage and fi lelity. Offenders, who have re
fused to become the associates of the enemy
in «h» wsr, upon the most seducing terms ef
invention ; and who have aided to repel his

forgiveness.

usher of the black rod wos sent down to the

seated on the throne, and the assemtdy with
Mr. Papineau, their speaker elect, being in at
tendance below the bar, the bon. the speaker of
th»- legislative council expressed his excel*
lency’s allowance of the choice of the house of
assembly ; and then his excellency was pit us
ed to deliver the following gracious speech
Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,
Gentlemen of the Ifeute ef Assembly,
I have availed tnyjeh of an early period, af
ter the close ol the active operations of war,
* summon you to the discharge of your le
gislative duties. I meet you in the full assur
.• ce that the deliberations in the first session
of the present Provincial Parliament, will be
distinguished hy principles of patriotic loyally,
and by a disposition to cordiality, confidence
and mutual good will.
I have to call your attention to the rrnewal
of those statutes, formed for the welfare of the
people and the permanent security of the p
vince, which are about to expire, and I indulge
a confident expectation that in all tie mea
sures which shall he adopted hy you, his Koyal
Highness the Prince Hegent will receive fresh
proofs of the high sense you entertain of the
excellent constitution which his majesty has
been graciously pleased to confer upon this
country.
His majesty’s suhjects hav*- to lament the
continaunce of indisposition with which the
king has so long been aflicted ; and our affec
tionate attachment to bis majesty prompts at
this moment the more deeply to deplore a fa
tality which excludes our renei able monarch
from the general exultation of his subjects
and of his allies.
The re establishment of ancient thrones in
their just rights, the subversion of the tyranny
which had opnressed them, _nd the return of
tranquility and order to a wourJd long distur*
bed, are subject.9 of sincere congratulaiton,
»■ I d.-mand our gratitude to that Omnipotent
Hand which alone could have wrought the
c nuimmation.
Veacc, which has blessed the nations of F.u»
rope ha? net y-lextendel iier influence to the
councils or \nwrrica. The high pretensions,
nnd impracticable disposition <»r tlie govern*
ment of tb» U. bt:<t'">, have •.•isadpoimed the
d' ire of his Uov.-tl Highness the Prince Ue"
gent for an honorable termination to a war
which has assumed a particularly vindictive
character. Individuals have thus been exposed
to h rrors unparah lied in the latter history of
civilized warfare ; out it is uUue to he attribu
ted to the repeateii outrages of tlie enemy,
which, Crom the magnanimity of his majesty,
and the consequent forbearance of Uis troops,
remained long unavengeu by an offended peo
ple.
'1 he proud Capitol at Washington has, how
ever as a just retribution, experienced a similar
fate to that inflicted by an American force on
the seal of government in Upper Canada. The
operations contemplated on the shores of Lake
Champ]-.in, were completely frustrated by the
failure of our naval means in the very on?et of
the enterprt/<".
The reinforcements I have received from hi*
majesty’s government, have enabled me to di
minish the pressure of the war on the inhabi
tant* of this province s but on all occasions,
when I have called for their services, the ala"
crity and ze-.l with which they have been ren
dered, sufficiently testify their faithful, loyal !
and patrio c adherence to his majesty.
Notwithstanding a state of war, prosperity
dwells among ton, After a long and severe
campaign, the American army ha- been com
pelled to surrender the partial advantages it
had gained in the upper province, and you
have been secured from aggression.
Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
f shall direct to he laid before you a state
ment of the provincial revunue of the crown,
and of the expenditure dur'mg the last year.
The demands of the public service continu
ing various and large, l look to your liberality
forcontinu.il exertions to meet them ; for a re
newal or a productive revenue bill, not esta
blished in the last session, and of such of the
prov.sions of tlie army-bill act as it shall be
deemed expedient to adopt for the future.
1 recommend also to your attention, the
improvement of the communication* in tlie pro
vince.
Gentlemen of th* Legislative Council,
Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
To you the community look for example. I
therefore trust, that in all proceedings you will
manifest that liberal * onfidence in his majesty’s
government, and unanimity among yourselves,
which is so essential to the pablio service, and
without whicli your exertions and my own, a
like must necessarily diminish in influence and
effect.

A melancholy coincidence ol' fste appears to

Gen. Ross was the idol of his little army ; and
Sir P. Parker was equally so of his chip’s crew,
who mutinied, when an order was sent to deli

conveyed to Bermuda, declaring it should no;
