Bat ia the present instance he must say that in spite of his eloquence, his grace, and the arguments which he had advanced, he could not do so.(Hear, bear, from the Government benches.; Mr.Cameron continned : I yet cannot see what advantage would accrue to the country by accepting the amendment.The debate hitherto baa embraced two questions\u20141st, the indiscretion, if not the gnilt of the last administration ; 2nd, the darkness of the present Ministry, and their inability to carry on the government of the country satisfactorily.So far as the first of these charges is concerned, I have no word to offer in palliation, no word of defence ; nay, but I would condensa in the strongest terms, after the admissions made by the honorable the ex-Mio ister of Education, and by the honorable the ex-Attorney General, the whole of that an fortunate business ; and, although I have no reason to saspect the Integrity of either of the hon.gentlemen referred to, indeed, in justice to the latter, I would say that in toe division I represent, and in the district of which it forms a part, and, I believe, universally through the Province, particularly among the English afeoking portions of It, bis name is a fac-u aille of honour and ability.Nevertheless, it seems to me strange that they would allow them selves to be doped in this maner.They tell ns they have been, and I cannot accept it as a-eufficient atonement, that they should now come and sing in tbe ears of the House \u201cpe-cavl, pécari-\u2019\u2019 The country ^ants inofe than this, it wants a thorough Investigation into the whole circumstances of the case by committee, if you choose, composed entirely of the Opposition.Surely this is fair, and any objection to it would only suggest that toe case is not so bad as represented, or that the rank and file of the House may be so demoralized as to screen thé offenders.Now then, what about the secopd of these chargee ?CURA Havana, Dec.8\u2014A largo force of insurgents attacked the village of San Augustta, in the Hoignln District, on the night of the ;i3rd ulto.After a fight which lasted an hour, ike attacking party were repulsed by the firing from the forts.Bpveral hats were sacked by the insurgents.To-day is observed as a holiday.rtiiiicHwiiMiii.HPU8E OF ASSEMBLY.Wsqsxs^T, Dec.9.The SPEAKER took the chair at three o'clock\u2014the public galleries of the.House being crowded- Mr- JOLI said, before toe orders were called, he daslrud to call attention to the manntr in which his remarks of Friday had been reported.He did not take objection on his own account, bat in the interest of troth and iostioe, and for the sake of both sides of the Uonss and its officials.He referred to Le C\u2019a-,\t, .nadieu, a newspaper published in the city of\t**** Ministry resigned or were compelled Qoebec.whicb, in reproducing bis observations 110 retign for something they did, for sins of 1\t* -\t-.1 commission ; the present Ministry is asked to resign for something they did not do, or sins of omiseiou.'L hey did not bring tbe culprits the moment the Cabinet was complete to the bar of justice.I confess I was not a little stonished to hear the hon.the ex-Attorney-General first give expression to this charge first to throw out the bait, and I must say that notwithstanding the respect I entertain fur him, the charge comes with exceeding bad grace, to sa> the least of it.He virtually says \"I have been one of anumber relying on the integrity of D}ycolleagues, that sought to defraud the country of $180,000, and you respecting the irregularity hé signalised in (he matte: of the Address in reply, made him characterise toe irregularity as an \"infatuons\u2019\u2019 pne.He had used no such words.He would render the fullest justice to this newspaper, and admit tost it manifested every desire to render an impartial account, jf he rose, as he had alrealy «id, it was not to object on his own account, for when a man went into battle be might naturally expect to be wonnded, bnt his desire was simply to vindl cate himself and the Quebec Legislature as a body, especially, upon which tbe attention of ths entire Dominion was actually rivetted,,\t, from the imputation that its debates were- (&* Ministry) have given us one month conducted in an improper manner.Ml, whom hu was glad to see in bis present position, might safely have spared himself toe trouble ho had taken in ututing that he had not seen the papers connected with this case, that he bad been unaware of their nature nntit the date ot the meeting of Parliament.The excuse was ouo which he (Mr.Lynch) did not consider a plausible one, nor did It afford him that protection which he seemed to believe grew from his self-iusertod ignorance of tho facts, especially in view of the truth that a doubt existed as to the.true policy of the Government on this imitoitant question, as announced by the LaJer of the Government in the Lrwer Hons.-, when he stated that there were two reasons for the existence of the Government\u2014first, the obligation to iostitute a full and complete enquiry into the ciroumtitances of tho laud swap ; and secondly, to introduce a satisfictory election law.When that policy was so announced he (Mr.Lynch) was mdtally certain that the, Government had never arrived at any fixed conclusion, hail never had any understanding tending to a détermina'ion to take any action towards reinstatim; the Province in its rights of possession.From the statements which had been made in the House it was more than evident that the Government hod really no intention of taking action in the case to recover the rights oi the Province to the pro.pertr which l*\\d boon bartered away.Hon.Attorney-General CHURCH rose and said that the intention of the Government had been fixed from the beglnningtof office to sobmit the case to toe consideration of Parliament, to call for strict and impartial enquiry, and to pro ;eed, in the event of suffi-cientground of action being found, for the restitution of the rights of thè Province.Mr LYNCH accepted the statement of toe Hon.Attorney.General.\tHe was quite sure that he waa entirely sincere .in his convictions.But ti he and his colleagues had been correctly reported\u2014and la thés» times il was difficult to know when a speaker was correct, ly reported\u2014It was easily to be seen that from the utterances on the floor of the House, that there was no intention whatever to take action to annul the transfer.(Hear, bear.) His hon.friend the Treasurer, lu the explanation which he had made elsewhere, had not admitted that there was anything so wrong as to justify action.He could not see, It wonld appear, that there wa* sufficient evidence on hand to justify him in advising his colleagues to take immediate action in the preiqlses, nor had any one of his colleagues been fit to adopt any different line of conduct from that which he had not enunciated.He regretted that tl^e Hon.Attorney (general h%'l been so unsuccessful in his researches, that he had been unable to obUdu the Information which he required.He had taken the tronble to go' everywhere, but those places where ho might have obtained information.But he was bound to believe, from thè statements which had been before the House, that there was never any plank in the gov-eroquntal platform that there should be any suit taken for the restitution of the Province in its rights.(Hear, hear.) He credited the law officers of the Crown with too mqch ability, too much legal acumen, to think that they believed that tho House should constitute itself into a judicial body.He thought too much of hts lioaorable friends to believe that they required too advice which the committee which was demanded could give.Had they come down to the House and said that they had taken the action which was proper, but bad found the information which they hatj based their action upon was insufficient, that they were satisfied they were not able to go on, he would have been satisfied.But instead of (Bis they came before the House with an excaao.They came asking a I the House to constitute itself a judicial board, AFTCRMOM DESPATCHES.Dec.»\u2014A special despatch from to the Daily Newt says : Tbe decision toe*atrial of Count Von Arnim is to bo ooodectod in public resta with the Judge».It (a thought probable that, while publicity will b*f nominally granted, the coart will be otoarod ôf spectators during toe more import-amt twvelarious of the witnesses.The de-feoo» «rill rant-rather on legal interpretations «ta» oa disapproval of too charges made.Tickets of admission have been iaaued to re-prooaotolives of to* press.The Emperor has appointed Count Von Irak» Bcrtwnourg, Governor of Silesia.*\u2022 Famb, Dec.».\u2014Darel\u2019s Printing House, in LUI», tho tasgeot establishment of toe kind ig Fine», w b«i4sl.¦ Lush, $300,000.An anonymous letter, understood to eman-afo hMB the Premier of Italy, Seoor Meag-refuting Bishop Dupanloup\u2019s char-toe Italian Government, is pub-«ém Paris and Florence papera.that the Pope is a prisoner, and that toe Gowernmect of Victor Will faithfully maintain the Papal CmttTAJrraoru, Dec.8\u2014The Sultan has gfvou a hundred thoamnd dollais for the re*.Hof ef toe flsmioe stricken Inhabitants of An \u201d posa.Tha prospect* there, however, are im-psoilog.The prices of provirioas are tedtuv «4 and Agriculture, is reviving.9% Bsaux, Dec.9\u2014The court before which Cortot Yon Arnim will >be tried will consist of Judges Reich, president, Qterch and Or- Dec.»\u2014A fire in tho Union Print Woshs, at Fall River, lost sight destroyed the old dye bouse.The lo« Is now estimated at from $M>>0O to $60,000 ;
