BRUTALITY AND PILLAGE BY THE BRITISH IN LOWER CANADA . Protection for the Robbers . —Some of the papersiii this Union are quite astonished at the continued discontent in Canada , now that they have got such a fine man asDurhatn-r-who is so polite ta the Americans ! The Canadians have good reason to be discontented . It will he long before they forget last winter . "We could fill this paper with details of the excesses committed by the British soldiery and volunteers in Canada for which the authorities refuse satisfaction . How would an American like to be treated as was Mr . Gagnon of
the County of L'Acadie ? This honest farmer became the object of suspicion to the Government and accordingly retired into the States . The moment he was gone what did the authorities ? A ' magistrate named McGinnis brought a posse of armed ruffians with him and took possession of Gagnon ' s property—turned his wife and children out of doors—and that in the midst of winter . The poor woman procured one of her horses and waggons for the conveyance of her children to a neighbour ' s house . McGinnis turned the poor woman and her family out of the waggon , and took from her even a a little box of iemale ornaments which she had
contrived to save from the wreck \ The desolate creatures were obliged to wade their weary way through the deep snow to a distant relative ' s , almost naked and deprived of every particle of property ! McGinnis immediately placed volunteers in charge of the property , changing them occasionall y accordingly as they had filled their hungry cravings . Fif teen loads of furniture were removed by these marauders from Gagnon ' s house , besides the following stock , viz .: —12 cows ; 8 oxen ; 11 horses ; | 4 two year old heifers ; 42 sheep ; 30 pigs , ( big and
little ;) 9001 bs of salt pork ; fiOOVbs of beef ; 2 000 bushels of grain , ( of all sorts ;) 60 tons of hay 3 ploughs , together with carts , winter and summer carriages , harness , &c . Mr . Gagnon ' B loss may safely be estimated at no less than 6 , 000 dollars . This estimate does not include his papers , titles ' bonds , receipts , notes of hand , &c ., which McGinnis and the volunteer ' s entirely destroyed , and the value of which is incalculable . Mr . Gagnon instructed alawyerto sue McGinnis for damages , but the latter has most flippantly replied that he may do his best as the act of indemnity protects-him from all eonsp
quences . "We have but one word to add to this exposure . McGinnis happens to be agent for the Seigneur from whom Gagnon holds his land , and now that he has by open robbery arid pillage , deprived the unfortunate man of his substance , he has instituted an action against him for arrears of Seigneurial dues in order that he may sell his house and farm and thus put a climax to his infamous persecution . — Mackenzie ' s Gazette .
NORTH AMERICAN PROVINCES . Halifax , Nova Scotia , papers to the 14 th and from Prince "Edward ' s Island to the 13 th of September , have since been received . Deputations from those places had been appointed , and were on their way to Quebec , for the purpose of being examined and consulted respecting the details of the projected federation of the British North American provinces The ^ public feeling respecting this plan appeared to be favourable , and it was understood thut the
parties deputed , who were among the most intelligent inhabitants of the provinces named , are themselves d eposed to view the measure with satisfaction , and anxious to promote it . It was doubted , however , by many whether the scheme as proposed may not create a complexity of powers , which in the end will be found a source of embarrassment . The proposition was , that each of the federate provinces , that 1 . V Upper and . Lower Canada , New Bruns ' wick , Nova Scotia , Newfoundland , and PrinoP
toward s Island , should retain their own local legislatures as / at present constituted , with the exception of the Legislative Council , or Upper Cham-« »• which was to be abolished , for the despatch of all affairs purely of a local nature , and that a central congress should be instituted , toi meet at Quebec , composed of deputies from each of the provinces , in order to deliberate upon and enact such laws as concerned the general weal of the federation ; this Congress , likewise to be composed of one House of Assembly only , without other check than an Executive Council , then , a * , now " : to assist the in the examination
Governor of legislative acts , m . L ¦ 8 chtme is sufficiently intelligible , although , as some of the accounts remark , it may b ^ doubted . whether the formation of an Upper Chamber of some description mi ght not be advisable , L ^ r S ™ ' *** m ? dify * fce direct and constant « m W W 81 ° ^ - ° v W ^ ch ae « ecutive authorities mL nf ^^ ^ , l ° De HoD 8 e of Legislature .

complication , if not confusion , of power * and interestB will be almost inevitable . The authority of the Governor and executive will be impaired , and to the extent disregarded , by the congress , because the right of veto reserved to them becomes scarcel y more than a nullity , when subjected to the direct controul and continual interference of a legislature in the parent country ^ partiaily composed of the same ingredient )? as the local legislature , to which , in the exercise of a delegated trust , they might become obnoxious by opposition to their acts . It may also be observed , that the double principle of general legislation thus adopted in the case of the North American provincesmay open the door to
, its extension to all the other colonial dependencies of the empire ; arid it is not clear upon what reasonable ground the . "W est India and other colonies could be shutout frorpi participating in the advantages of it , real or supposed , should they be disposed to urge their request . These and other considerations had not escaped the observation of dispassionate lookerson in the provinces themselves , who seem , however , to be comparatively few in number . These papers report ii ^ highly favourable terms of the staite of the corn crops and the weather .

FRANCE . Paris , Oct . 13 ^—The letters from Madrid of the 5 tb , inforjih us that the first accounts of the defeat and death of Pardinas , had just arrived there . Madrid was filled with consternation . The government endeavoured to conceal the truth , but it transpired in spite of its effort * .

To avoid prosecution it runs thus : — 4 We , the undersigned French citizens and taxpayers , demand that every National Guard be an elector . " A Captain of the 6 th Legion , namea Phalipon , has resigned , because an illegal petition has been carried about for signature , it being called an act of patriotirtm to sign , and be himselt menaced with being set aside at the next election it he did not sign it .

At Lucerne , ia the secret sitting of the Diet on the 8 th the proposals of the military commission for the defence of the country were taken into consideration . The commission proposed to raise two corps , or rather take the cantonal corps already raised into the pay of the Confederation , and to station them , to the number of 20 , 000 men , along the frontier . A sum of £ 25 , 000 was voted for the supply and pay of thege troops . M , Maillardez , deputy for the Carlist canton of Friburg , was the champion of war and certainly with 40 , 000 French soldiers on their frontier it would be a very dangerous precedent for the Swiss to remain unarmed . ,

North-Eastern Boundary . —It is understood , on what we consider good authority , that an arrangement has been made between the United States and the Governor-General of Canada , with the consent of the Governor of New Brunswick , that if thei executive of the State of Maine shall proceed to run the north-eastern boundary line , pursuant to the law of that state authorising ' the survey , he will not . ^ be opposed by force by the British authorities ; but the matter will be left to adjustmeiit between the two governments , who have the only legitimate right to settle the quefition ,
( From the Montreal Courier of Sept . 5 . ) The trial of Jalbert , which was to have taken place yesterday , was obliged to be postponed till next term , in consequence of two material witnesses for the crown having absconded after subpoenas had been served upon them . There can be little doubt that these witnesses have been tampered with . Jalbert will of course resume his old place in prison . This Jalbert is the only individual in custody charged with the murder of Lieut . Weir . L'Hussier , another of the parties charged with that murder , escaped from prison ; and bills were not found against the remaining two .
him were four men , who , like savages , placed their victim at a tree , and deliberately killed him by a discharge of musketry , not because he had any hostile feeling against them , but because he was honest and loyal ; and near him were twelve men who committed what many call a deliberate and wanton perjury , screening the murderers from justice . Deeply will this verdict rankle in the breasts of the volunteers , and , should the opportunity ever arrive , it will be avenged in blood . One foul outrage upon society has been added to another—unpunished murder and apparent perjury . If the law is insufficient for our protection , we must protect ourselves ; and if it is insufficient to punish offenders against it , they must not be on that account allowed to escape .
The trial endfd , as may be supposed it would " , in the acquittal of the prisoners , and . only proves that the inhabitants are the most ignorant and the most degraded race of human beings in the civilized globe . When the verdict was known out of doors , it excited no surprise , but indignation and a feeling of deeprooted hatred and revenge on the part of the Loyalists , a feeling which will yet tell tearfully . Never , except on the receipt of intelligence of Col . Gore having been discomfited at St . Denis , do we remember to have seen so much excitement , or to have heard such vows of revenge . The brother of the murdered Chartrand was in court in a state of frenzied agitation , and we do not wonder at it . Before 1 1 1 •¦ d

A few witnej-ses were then examined , but nothing of consequence was elicited from them . Mr . Attorney-General Ogden closed the case by an able speech .

Journal , upon the authority of a gentleman from Gardiner , in Maine , that Governor Kent had appointed Messrs , Dean , Norton , and Irish , to be commissioners for running the boundary line . Fears were entertained , that this appointment , and the carrying on of the Buryeyj would lead to serioug consequences ; but we believe that no impediment will be thrown in the way of the survey by the authorities of New Brunswick , and that it is only in the case of an attempt to assume actual possession of any part of the disputed territory , resistance will be offered on our part .

Robert Nelson has again been arrested ion an indictment found against him , at Albany , in June last , for a breach of the neutrality laws of the United States , * but when and where he is to be tried , is not stated .

As this paper makes no meHtion whatever of the conduct of the rural population of either Demerara or Berbice , we rea ^ sonably infer , from the silence it observes upon this important subject , that no change for the worse has taken place in the working of the free system . — Times . We have received by the Irlam , which arrived at Liverpool on Monday , Barbadoes papers to the 3 rd of September . Their contents are very gratifying . The emancipated labourers were behaving themselves in a manner which gave the best guarantee that the great experiment of substituting free for forced labor would eventually be for the benefit both of masters and men . ( From the New York Gazette of Sept . 18 . / The Presidency . —We learn through the medium of our contemporaries , that the Boston Atlas has undertaken to nominate General Harrison as the most " available" candidate for the Presidency , and at the same time to speak very oracularl y of the prospects of Mr . Webster and Mr * Clay as candidates to be supported by the Whi gs , and the Courier and Enquirer of yesterday morning , in a very long ; and in the main , a very able and judicious article , seems to consider the remarks of the Atlas equivalent to an absolute withdrawal of Mr . Webster ' s name from ' the list of candidates by his own authorization . The yellow fever at Charleston is stated in the Courier of that city of the 6 th inst . to be on the increase though the weather had been cool for ten days , and the thermometer raging from 75 to 85 with a N . E . wind . Indian Movements on the Sabine . —Bv news at New Orleans direct from Fort Jessup we learn that a considerable body of mounted Indians had left the location on the Sabine assigned to them by the United States' government , and had advanced within 15 miles of Naco gdoches , Texas . General Rusk was proceeding against them . General Houston had requested the loan from Fort Jessup of some pieces of artillery , but that had been refused by Col . Manly , who , however , had sent a guard under Lieutenant Henry , to ascertain the true condition of affairs ] and it was expe .-ted the 3 rd regiment would , on , his return , enter Texas , if necessary . Something wrong in Mobile . —A slip from the Mobile Chronicle , by the late express mail contains a paragraph calling on the citizens of Mobile not to abandon the city to a mob * and urging upon them to take measures to maintain law and order . We fear that this paragraph has reference to some outrages committed in Mobile , and which , from the manner in which they are alluded to , have either created great consternation among the people , or widely participated in by the citizens . We shall look for further accounts with painful interest . ' It had been thought at Milan that General Zucchi wan set at liberty ; hnt letters from his native town Reggio , in Modena , create fears of the contrary ' The retrograde party is exerting itself to diminish the effects of the amnesty , and pretends that Zucchi is a military , not a political , prisoner . The Emperor of Austria is to have an interview with the Duke of Modena at Cattajo . —Journal de Commerce , Another Trial for Libel in Paris The legitimist papers asserted that a considerable treasure of gold and diamonds has recently been discovered in the c . t liars of the Tuileries . The Ministerial journal eotradieted the report . La France insists on ¦ its truth , and the Procureur-General has cited its gerant to answer for the defamation . In the night of the 15 th of September last the . Genoese brig the San Gaetano , having taken in lading at Spezzi , sailed from Porto Venere , in Spain A Sardinian steamboat conveyed it . The San Gactano carried from 100 to 150 tons of amucition , clothing , shoes , and arms , with 30 passengers . Another ship with the same destination is lading at Porto Venere . — Tou / onnais .
