The proceedings in the Assembly have been important. 1 enclose the coP) of an address which has been voted to me by a majority of 38 to 16, expr.smve of ab- horrence at the outrage' which have taken -place io the city of Montreal, of loyalty to the Queeo, and approval of my just and im- partial administration of the goyernesat, with my late, as well as my present adv( here. Soros of the oppos,tion approve of the comae which l bave takes with respect to the Rebellion Looses Bill, as appears from the speeches of Messrs. Wilson and Galt, of which reports are Riven in the newspapers which 1 enclose. Mr. Wilson is an infueulial rnsmber of the Upper Cana- da coo .•rvative party ; and Mr. Gilt's vie ws are the more important, because be has beoo returned to Parliament, only a few dye ago, by a Lower Canadian cuns.it- ueney, which comprises • large British pop elation. Generally., howetier, as the amend- ments they have moved to tho address show, they desire to avoid committing thinning us this point. The"votes against the ad• dress may be thus classed: Sir A. McNab tad hie party ; my late mintetry and their party ; mot Mr. Papineen. The first acts with perfect consistency In vexing as he bas done on this occasion, for he hes always cnoteoded that government, coadustsd on British principle., is unsuited to Canada. - The Course of the second class is les. intel- ligible; for, until the day on which they re- signed their offices into uiy hands, they toe - rurally expressed approval of the principles on which myconduct as Governor General wit guided and these, as your lordship well koowe, have undergone no change with the change of adutinistratioo. Mr. Pept- one's vote conveys a useful lesson, which will not I trust, be lost on persons who bad been conduced to believe that the peredotttion of which 1 am the object is really attributa- ble to my having shown undue lenity to those who were led by him into rebellion. 13. I have now famished your lordship with as clear a,.tateaent of three important occurrence" as I can give, and i can con- clude by assuring you that the city is per- fectly tranquil, and that there is no present bkelibood of a renewal of disrurbancee. A few days will show what echo the proceed- ings of the violent party awaken in Upper Ga\sd% asd to what extent they will be fol- lowed by rogation. Meanwhile, itis my firm conviction, that if this dictation be submit- ted, to, the govurnmeot of thts province bj constitutonal means will bo impossible; and that the struggle between overbearing minorities, backed by force, and majorities reeling oo legality and establialied forms, which baa so long proved the bane of Cassda, driving • capital from rho pro- vince mod producing a state of chronic discontent, will be perpetuated.

From the Leiden Times of May 17. Lord Elgin's despatch with its important enclosure*, has been presented to Parlia- ment, and will be found in another part of our columns. In our opinion it leaves nothing to be wanted. The conduct of • public man under trying circumstances will always be open to*disenesioa; but tie pre- sent question, in its raw state as imported from the colony is a political, not it personal affair, and England has really nothing to do with it. Considering the vest number of very troublesome geeetioos pressing for decision in the legislature, the tribunals, the church, and every other arena of dis- cussion, we think we shall do the public' some "entice if we can strike off from the Int one superfluous controversy. V. will do so at once. The British Parliament hes not the feat call to pet its foot into the Canadian q•terrel. if it chooses to enter into the particulars of Lord Et.ory's admin- istration, or to canape the endue of the Montreal authorities, or of Sie Benjamin D'Ilrban, or any other colonial officer, it will probably find the subject et least as amusing as the Rajah of Sattars s claims. But ouch a discussion will be wholly gratui- tous and we are convinced, utterly unpro- fitable. Beery political question connected with the Montreal rioters ins already.ieen definitively settled. Canada is one united province, rand toe are not now going. to die• unite it. We have granted it • free con- stitution, as much on the model of mar own as the circumstances of a colony will allow. That Constitution we are not gong to re- call. We gave it • Repre.stativs Legis- lature and Responsible Governmebt. - There is no English statesman who would venom* to move the revocation of these liberties. - Canada is sow walking in the light of it. own constitution: and acting therein with freedom, deliberation and order. Eves ill we did not Windy approve of its pohcy,'I we should he still undoing the good we have done, the good we wore compelled to do, and scarcely did in time, if ws were suddenly to interfere by some act of fa portal absolutism. Has Canada moreover, abuse] the liber- ties we bare lately guaranteed her, or has the eaes.Jed their just and proper range 1 Most certainly not. As Lord Elgfa asserts to his despatch, the present Hoose 'of As• trembly has every possible claim to be re- spected as the free and rennins void of the people. it is tbe result of a general elec- tion whicb took place about 18 month. ago, under the arming of the political party now in opposition, arid after • di/rotation which they bad advised for the purpose of strengthening their position as • govern mons. As It hvppensd, the mink was is the Ise( degree unfavourable to thorn; for while the represestahon of Lower Caada wee little anted by the claege, in the Upper Provisos several consultancies, and among them some of the most populous turned oat tory reprosenlativeo, and tent kneel. ie their place.

Throughout the province and pareiculnly at Montreal they made it the object of bitter Jenue iatton' ted r ups rumens. Lord Vele quotes a' prim from • Montreal *real, unites hetero the present agitation, and relating to different 0.eas0ree, which betsay• a tempter so savage and brutal, that every gestyae Reg- lishtsan will at once pot the party which could sanction such sentimm.ta wholly out of tbe pale of his sympathies. it professes to rejoice to the success of the o'iority, as being certain to sod io • war of moss and Anglo-Saxon rebellion. It threatens Eng- land wile a colonial Cromwell, and with a sort of uointesdod presestmeat of Mr. Roebuck, proceed.:-" Sheffield in the olden time used to be famous fur its keen and well -tempered whettles; well they make heyoods then now, just so sharp and just as well tempered. Whoa we tan stand tyraesy no longer, it will be sees whether good bayonets in good Saxon hand., will not ee more than a match fur a mace and a majority." This ca only mean aa Mow lion on the part of a coulees/re minority to try physical force ageing a majority and the regular operation of this law. Such wes the temper which the maleconteata brongbt to the present gumption. The seditious,pasione, the rebellious in- tentions, dm attempted war of races, the appeal to Sheffield bayonet., the cry for a Cromwell, the denunciation of the Legi•la- ture, sod the menace pointed at its official emblem, all unman] before the prompt con- troversy. The material of the quarrel was u( no importance. As soon se the Toffee found themselves not a third of the House, they took forthwith to rebellion -rebellion against the legielature and against the crown. As if to show that the quarrel had no other ground than their own political dirappoinlment, they have broken out -for so we must espies. it -0o • measure which is no new measure, but which has been adopted by successive Parliaments and Guveroments now for four years, and only delayed by certain difficulties of execution. 'rho preamble u( the am joss palmed, and which our readers will find below Lord Elgin's despatch, traces the history of the measure througb the administration of the very persona now moving heaven and eerIh against it. So tar from propoeteg to in- demnify rebels, the set ot,ly recognizes claims oo account of wanton injury to pro- perty, and especially. excludes contested rebejs, as well u those who being charged with rebellion bad subm',lted to.Her Majes- ty's pleasure. To pus such a hilt is no stretch of liberty, no insult to royal author- ity or law. It is merely )be..ttlement of existing and admitted claims by a regutar prone. of meljudicatioo. The British public will- not meet the question whether the coloniel legislature had • right to pees such an act; or whether Lord Elgin might pro- perly allow his cabinet to introduce it, and so give It • species of sanction. There Must bea discretion in rulers; sad we oew not think that Lord E:gir exceeded that discretion in consantiog to t!.t !:11. We are equally certain the British public will not expect the Crown to prevent or delay the operation of a measure, in itself unnx- eepti,nablo, and passed by • decided majori- ty to a Mouse of lfeprosentativoe, free:y and fairly e;cctcd by two millions of our fellow subjects. In truth, the prefeaVoon of these, Tory desperadoes aro such as are utterly inad- tameable in this country and this age. in the face of a solemn treaty by which Eng• li'hmen •od l'renchmen, Troi Tsriitsqu, are boned to live in unity and equality, Sir Allan McNab and leie aceosplices are con- spiring to disfranchise, enslave, and crush not far (rum a million of Iter Majesty's peaceable subjects. Their claim ie, that the " Aoglu-Saxon" minority, as tbey ignorantly call it, shall give laws to rho majority, though the latter contains as many of Brlti.h u of Freoeh extraction._ For mouth. they have been incessantly laboring to intimidate the legislature aid destroy its free action. Take it all in all, we de nos hesitate to say, that anther the Chartist nor the Irish rebels exhibited such a complication of wickedness as the Cana- dian Tories. Our demagogues at home had at least some honorable pretences.- They took op the cause of poverty and op- pression. 'Piny sought liberty for those who, at least, had never enjoyed power. - They imagined their side to be the majority, and, consistently with that belief, they asked for a perfect representative system. Both in England and Ireland, a popular leg- islaturo was the immediate object of egita- ti"n. Ir. Ctpsda we behold an oligarchy, which has long revelled in the plunder ors province laboring to overawe a Senate. to bully a Governor, to paralyse a majority, and to degrade • people, merely that they may again monopolize office and divide official booty. The rebefs of 1837 were patriotic and honorable men compared with their present opponents. The former fought for free and equal institutions: the latter for the aacesdency of a faction and a race. The true rebels aro three who, having pro- voked the repellion of 1837, now show how unfit they ever were to govern, by rebell- ing themselves the momeut they cease to be paid for obedience. RESPONSiBLE GOVERNMENT. Mow'Tl%WAL, 1715 May, 1849. Mr Dsaa 8u,—With reference to onr conversation of this morniog, respecting the report which you promised making, os' the bill for ioeorpnratiotQ "The Toronto Bitncoe and Lake Huron Rail Road Compa- ny," recommending the same to be reserved for the medication of Iger Majesty's plea- sure lhereoh, 1 desire to place upon record my °pintos upon the public policy of such a cause, whtcb, as.I stated to you, I did not mincer in. it is not with reference to this hill that i desire to be understood as ioterpoeing any olyectita to the coarse you propose lo adopt with reference to this measure, al- though i deny Ile being a lottery whose, writhes the seenisg of the Royal tnstraeti- oeo sad am asst •axioms that it shoald at ease become law; bet itis en public mid high ..setitolional grooude that i desire thee emphatically to draw year Wulf/ft to the subject, whieh lbs eon S ee.ejder tt the .sore isp\rta\t de I angor/ It, mid 1 \m sore that yes will straw the medium tied freshness with which I am about to uprose aa option adverse to that which you seem to entertain, when you call to abed how fully 1 concur with'u, 1 ►'(:eve to all other respects a nMtos to Respoe'ibl.� Goeeroment.

Since, however, these instructions wan framed, Reepobsible Goverment has bees demanded by the Colony, and acquired in by the Parent State, as a nate. to which we are justly entitled, as British subjects, inhabiting a country of part extent and im- portance, and which system of constitution- al government imputes that all local affair", not involving imperial iotere.u, are to be conducted through • Provincial Cabinet, comrisuo of beads of departments, reopen sib's to the reprss.statives of the people to Parliament. This responsibility obviously requires the presence, to Parliatnsot„of the loading per- sonages constitutingthe Cabinet, who,(rocc hour to hour and ay to day, watch over the proceedings in Parliament, and are sup- posed to concur in what they do not ex - preside oppose ; ted as the Government is adnuwrtered by them, in the came of the sovereign, represented in the Culooy by the Governor no bill whichhas reee- :red the saa:tion of both Houses, and consequently of the administration pre- sent there, concurring either openly or ta- citly, by not resisting its passage, ought to be reserved ander our preen( con- alilutton, because the Governor cannot, consistently with the responsibility of his Cabinet to Pediment, refuse hie assent against their advice to a bill which (bey have allowed to pass through the Legisla- ture without objection ; sod, if strenuously objected to by them, ought not, by their advice, to be reserved, since they ought to reeigo if a bill of so objectionable a name - ter as to,warrant its rejection by the Go Verner, on their advice, was carried in their despite, otherwise it would be pacing their decision, in the Cabinet, above the decis ion of Parlament, by whose permiesion they are enabled to tender their advice to the. Crown. Thio course, moreover, is qnite Linnen... n ary since, by the constitutional act. the right to disallow any act of our Parliament withto two years, is reserved to the Crown to be exe}eased, of coone, on the responsi- bility of the imperial Ministry ; and this i., in my opinion, the only legitimate consti• tuttonal, yet effectual, control which, uoder our system, the Crows has retained oyer the otherwise absolute authority awn own Ltgwhaturetb. Thur is a distinct, broad and eoortitu- tional ground upon which T desire to place the gnestion,no t ideating a solitary instance :n which the Governor can. consistently with the responsibility of Ministers to Par- liament, r any bill whatever,. which would, if admitted, allot; the Mtoistry, in a quiet way, to get rid of any measure which (night b., unpalatable to them, by a .ide :mod,- • sort of " Le Rni S'Aviesn" process, -when they could Dot retard Its progress through Parliament, and might Dot wish to give is that decided opposition wh:cb, if ineffectual, might re- quire their going out of office. If you once break through the principle that you easy referee any bill which the conwtntion enables you to pus, it then degenerates into a question of expediency, instead of principle, and opens a door to e very shade of distinction which nubile mind* may draw upon .objects not control - ed by any palpable and fixed criterion. It is upon these principles that i felt the necessity of the Governor General giving Ws anew to the Rebeltrun Lose Bill, which I considered be was bound to do, it having been brought forward as a Ministerial mea- tier., and passed both Houses. Under our new constitutional course of Government, 1 contend and feel convinced that it would hews unconstitutional in prac- tice for the Governor to reserve a bJl, as for the Soverign in Eoglend to say " Ls Rei S'Avisera," which is a courteous mode 'of saying " i will not consent to it." I admit, however, that there may be mea- sures affecting Imperial interests, which Parliament melt see the propriety of their being reserved for the acquiescence of the Home Government, and then a clause might be inserted in the bill, postponing ire opo= ration until promulgated by Royal procla- mation. Byi these means the responsibility. of Min- isters to Parliament would be preserved in tact,-Mioirtere would themselves be pro- tected from all snspisioo of playing false, by . eeretly advisiog the njectios of a measure which in Parliament they had seemingly concurred in, -metropolitan interests would beprotected,-and the action of Provincial Parliament, kept from collision with the Supreme authority of the imperial State. But there are moor considerations which as matters of policy, ought not to be over- looked.
