JULY 11, 1R73. -touL but which is for the present tvith- held : Montreal, lst July, 1872. My Dear Sir : The. negotiations re- garding the Canadian Pacific Railway are now approaching a termination, and I have no reason to doubt they will be favorable to us. I have been given to understand by Mr. McMullen that he has regularly kept you informed of the progress and position of affairs. Hence I have not communicated with you as often as I otherwise would. have done. No doubt he has informed you that thinking as I had taken up the project there must be something very good in it a very formidable nnnnsitinn wa,s or- 'tartlen of it MO payable when the con- tract is obtained, but I think it will reach not much short of $300,000. • - HUGH ALLAN. P. presume ypu desire, that un- leee we can obtain and secure a Majority of the stoek, you would not take any.. Bat on this point I wish to be instructed. H. A. The following is to the gentleman be- fore alluded to: Montreal, 7th.August,'1872. Dear Sir I wrote you on the 1st July, giving you a detailed account up to that date of the events and -my move- ments in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway. 1 have not had any ganized in Toronto, whic for went of a acknowledgment of the receipt by you better, took as their cry, " No foreign of that letter, but I suppose it reached influence, no Yankee dictation ; no ou in due course The question I asked Northern Pacific to choke off our Cana- you however, remains unanswered, and - &an Pacific," and others .equally sensi- ble. So much effect however, was pro- duced both in and out of Parliament by these cries, that after consultation with Mr. Mchfullre I was forced unwillingly to drop ostepsibly from our organization every American name, and to put in re- liable people ep this side in place of them. It will have been .apparent to you that at this point Mr. McMullen and I differed, a little as to the means to be adopted to influence the Government itself. Two opposing companies, desir- ing to build the railroad, were formed. The one from Ontario having the great- est number of names while that from Quebec had the greatest political power. Mr McMullen Was degrous of securing the inferior members of the government, and entered :into engagements of which I did not approve, as I thought it was only a waste of powder and shot. On a ealm. view of the situation -I satisfied. myself that the decision of the question Ding ultimately be in the hands of one man, and that man was Sir George E. Cartier, the leader and. chief of the - French party: This party has , held the balance of power between the other fac- tions ; it has sustained and kept in office and existence the tutire Government for the last five years, it consists of 45 mien, who have followed Cartier and vot- ed in a solid phalanx for all his meas- ures. The . Government majority in Parliament being genteelly leis than 45, • itfollows that the defection of one-half or two thirds would at any time put the Government out of officee It was there- -foreeident that some means must be adopted to bring the influence of this compact body of members to tear in our favor, and as soon, as I made up my mind what was the best course to pur- sue, I did not lose a moment in follow- ing it up. A railroad from Montreal to Ottawa, through the French country, north ot the Ottawa River, has long been desired by the French Inhabitants, but Cartier, who is the salaried solicitor of the Grand Trunk road, to which this would be an opposition, has interposed difficulties, and by his influence prevent- ed its being built The same reason made him desirous of giving the contract , for the Canada Pacitie into the hands • of parties connected with the Grand Trunk Railuiay, and to this end he farm- . ed the flames of opposition to us; but I sew in this French. Railroael scheme and in the near appreach of the general • elections, when Cartier as well as others had to go to their constituents for re- election, a sure means of attaining nay object, especially as I propose to carry it through to the terminus of the Pacific. The plans I propose are in theineelves the beat for the interests of the Domin- ion, andin erging them on the public I . am really, doing a most patriotic action. But even in that view means must be used to influence the public, and T em- ployed several young French lawyers to write it up in their own newspapers. I subscribed a controlliug influence ifn the stock, and proceeded to subsidize the the newspapers thentselves, both • editors and proprietors I went to the country through which the road would pass; and called on many of the • inhabi- tants. I visited the priests_ and made friends of them, and, I employed agents to go among the prificipal people and talk it up. I then began= to hold public, meetings', and attended them myself, making frequent speeches in French to them. ehowing them where their true interest lay. The scheme at once be - • came popular, andl formed a committee to influence the members of theq,egisla- ture. This succeeded £0 well that in a . short time, I had 27 out of 45 on whom I could rely and the electors of the ward in this city which Cartier himself rep - Rents, notified him thet unless the con- tract for the Pacific Railway was given in the interests of Lower Canada, he - need_ not present himself for re-election. He did not believe this, but when he • came here and Met" his constituents he found, to his surprise, that their deter- mination was unchanged. He then agreed to give the contract, as required, in a way that there would be seventeen provisional directors, of which thereby giving us the control.

During the past week there have not been more than thiee or four loads of grain daily on the market. Prices for wheathave declined, and the demand is dull. Coarse grains are not offered. An occasional sack of wool is yet brought in. Butter of good quality is in liberal demand, and the price keeps up well. New potatoes are now coming in, and are in good demand at the quot- eclprice.
