most authentic information, furnishes data for an interesting comparison between the three great commercial powers of the civilized world.Ie appears that the home commerce of France, which consists of the consumption of raw produce and manufactures by the population, is less than thac of Great Britain by one fourth, whilst it1s about twice and a half as miteh as that of the United States.Compared with the population of each State, the consumption is in the proportion of 390 franes for vary individual in Great Britain, 249 feanes in the United States, and 216 francs in France.\u2019Uhe Foreign commerce presents the following results :\u2014Thatof France is less than that of England by upwards uf 1,000,000.000 of fianes, and it is greater than that of the United States by 60,000,000\u2014that is to say, une thirteenth of the whole.Compared with tae population, the forcign commerce is in the proportion of 86 frances for every individual in Great Britain, of froun 20 to 30 francs in France, and of about 78 francs in the United States.The total of the commercial transactions of Irance, home as weil as foreign, is a thivd fess than that of Great Britain, but it exceeds that of the United States by much more than a half, With respect to exportation, the value of which may be considered as affording a rule by which to judge of the commercial Prose purity of each state, the following results are obtained.\u2018Fhe exportations of French raw produce exceeds in value that of Great Britain by oue halt, whilstit is ouly in the proportion of three to fire compared with that of the United States, whichis wonderfully wereased by the immense resources of her forests and fisheries, & particularly by the products of the southern states of the Union.The value of French manufactures exported wants about 10,000, - 000 francs to make it equal to one third of those exported by Great | Britain, but it is more than 20 times greater than the value of the exported manafactures of the United Status, l'he greutest inferivrity of France exists in this warchousing or deposit system, andre-cxportation trade, This unportant branch is, in Great Britain, more than five times as much as in France, and inthe United States itis about three times as much.The exportation of indigeneus productions, which affords a test of the agricultural and manufacturing prosperity of each country, is, OU an average of years, found to be as foilows:\u2014 Great Britain 886,575,000 francs.France 409,050,000 United States 409,050.000 Russia 201,400,000 Thus it will be seen that England annually exports a quantity ol native productions which equals, or even surpasses in value all the exportations of a similar nature of the other great commercial powers; and a population of 22,000,000 is able, witli the assistance of superior industry, to produce every year riches equal, at least, to those which are created by three states peopled by 85,000,000 of inhabitants, The exportations of France of agricultyral and manufacturing produce arc only equal to the half of those of England, whilst they almost equai the wholu of those vf Russia and the United States put together, Thas the 10,000,0000f American and the 45,000,000 of Russian population do not together create riches greater than those which are annually created by the population of l'rance alone.Compared with the number of inhabitants in each country, the exportation of native productions is in proportion of 40 francs fur evory individualin Great Britain, of 26 franes for evervinhabitant mn the United States, of 14 francs for every inhabitant of France, and ol\u201d only from 3 to +4 francs for every subject of the Russian empire, Considered in the mass, this species of exportation pre sents the following relative terms with respect to the different countries before named.\u2014ltussia, 1\u2014United States,§1 1-4\u2014 france, 2 \u2014Fnglond, 41-3\u2014 These terms must undergo some alteration when to the exportation of native produce is added that of foreign produce re-exported.\u2018They then stands asfollows.\u2014 Russia, 1\u2014 United States, 2\u2014 France, 2 1-2\u2014 England, 5 3-4, On exaunning the data of these numerical results, it is found that the principal supriority of English commerce consists in the exportation of the produce of English industry, and that of Ameri- «a in the re-exportation of foreign produce.Considered in the total, and without regard to particular objects, the French exportation exceeds that of Russia by 200,000,000 of\u2019 francs, It exceeds that of America by 60,000.000, and it is less than of England by 679,000,000.Itis in proportion of 9 to 23 compared with that of lingland, and of'9 to 8 compared whith that of America.There is then, it will been seen, no foundation for the statement that the commerce of the United States surpasses that of France; butit is impossible to doubt that it soon will do so if French commerce remains stationary instead of following the rapid development observable in that of \u201cother maritime nations.In the space ol a century, Great Britain, in consequence of the natural advantages of her territory, of the activity of her population, of the wisdom of her institutions, and of favourable events, has succeeded in establishing a commerce whose prosperity is unequalled in the world, aud unexampled in history.During the period of a single generation, the United States, entering upon the carecr of civilization with the vigour of a new und the experience of an old state, has become the third power of the maritime world, Much less time would be necessary to enable France to deve- lope the advantages which she derives tron her favourable climate, from her vast and fertile territory, from her numerous, active, and industrious population, and especially from her social organization.It would be more easy fur France to succeed in this undertaking than was} for her, ten years ago, the task of repairing the disasters of a civil war and foreign invasion, of rendering herself capable, after a maritime exclusion of 30 years, so closely to follow Great Britain, in that career of commerce in which so much ability and perseverance has been displayed.By this experience France can measure her strength and caleu- lute her power ; for her commercial greatness, after so many ca- lumities, is perhaps a more surprising prodigy than the prosperity of England after so long a course of success.VAI PROVINCLIL PARITAMENT UPPER CANADA To His

to desire that vour Lordship will, in the next Session of the Legislature of the Pro- vinceof Lower Canada, recommend in the strongest manner the claims of Sir James Monk to an increase of the pension which has been granted to him as late Chief Justice of Montreal, and that you will express ITis Majesty's confident expectation, that,on a reconsideration of the case, he'will be considered entitled to three fourths of his salary as a reward for his lung and faithfyl services aud which lis Majesty is of opinion is not more than an adequate provision with reference to the zealous and uprigiit manner in which Sir James Monk executed the portant daties confided to him and the advanced age at which he retired from the Bench, \u201c Inan Act of Parliament passed inthe last Session for making provision for the Judges of England on their retirement and as the justice and policy of granting a liberal superannumation is equally applicable to Judges in the Colonies 1 have had less hesitation in submitting to lis Majesty the propriety of again bringing Sir James Mouk's claims under the vonsideration of the Legislature.* 1 am also to instruct your Lordship to recommend to the Legislature to wake some provision for the widow of the late Mr.Justice Ogden and your Lordship will state that lis Alajesty considers that Lady to have strong claims to favorable consideration from the long and

mght, copies of which we publish into day\u2019s paper.Oue of these messages, in consequence of a dispatch from Lord Barnunsr founded on a memorial of the Judges of the Province, submits to the Flouse of Assembly to provide permanently for the Judges and forltheir retirement in that case Lord Bathurst promises to recommend to His Ma- Jesty to place the Judges on the same footing as they are in England, commis.ioned during good behaviour.Should the Assembly accede to this recommendation, which from tbe desire they have already expressed on this subject, there seems no doubt 1hey will, oue of the most important changes will be effected in the Judiciary of the Province.On Saturday last, the Governor-in-Chief laid, by message, before the Assembly, the five acts of the Imperial Pyrliamnent pussed last year, relating to the colonies.On Tuesday night last the House of Assembly agreed to n motion to vote the sum of £2492 7 10 cy.being the balance advanced in November last by His

taking the average prices of the year, which from the great variation it is dificult to #s- certain : T'o determine then the profit or loss of the trade it is nes cessary to include the probable advance when sold in the market where they are to repay Wie Jupoits.It as generally said that the relation between the Exports and Imports of a Country 18 expressed by the prices of Exchange and that when Exchangos are at premium its trade is a losing one, and when at a discount 4 profitable one, On this principle the Canadas have been long losing, and the only thing wonderful is that their trade 1s not long agu lost.But that there 1s something erroneous io this species of test, is that the Canadas notwithstanding have increased in population and riches, From al! circumstances it may be inferred that, in the last year atleast, our Exports are fully adequate to meet our Imports.\u2018The following statements will shew that the « nerease of our Exports, as we have scen it tu be the case with respect to Imports, is very considerable : PRINCIPAL EXPORTS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.1322 1823.1524, 1825.Ashes, Pot& Pearl, 36269 55170 55108 65502 bris, lrour, vee 47747 46546 41901 40167

more than in 1823.Ln 1822 there were only 1,897 tons exported-\u2014:yet both in that, and for some years belure and since, New Brunswick exported from 20,000 to 30,000 tous and that too built in part with Murerican Capital ; while we were inactive.Taking £s us the average cost of each ton on the vessel leaving the builder's hands, the value of shipping exported fram Quebee in 1825 wdl be £180,068 We are happy to find that there are at present near 12,000 tans of shipping on the stocks in the district of Que= bee, and abaut 2,300 tons at Montreal, turing an aggregate of 14,500 tons\u2014between 20 and 35 vessels are on the Stocks at Que- bee, about 6 uy the St.Lawrence below Quebee, and 8 or 10 at Montreal, forming in all near sixty vessels averaging about 300 tons each.\"The most of these will be dispatched carly mn the ensuing summer, when others will be lid down and the export in 1826 will at any rate fully equal, and it is very probable exceed that of last year.Many of the vessels built here are buiit with English Capital ; all Che capital einployed 15 however distributed among the labouring classes\u2014an mcealculgble advantage.The T'unber shipped last year as sppears above was great and exceeded considerably the export of the J years preceding.We une derstand that there is but little remaining\u201d on hand, aud that in consequence a large number of timber vessels cannot be Jooked for early in the season.But the supply preparing is so great, added to the melancholy damages done by the fires 1n the lower provinces, that a greater number of vessels may be expected during the next season than in the last, and there is no doubt that lume ber wali be abundant and a moderate price, No less than 10,394 bbls.vf Ashes have been exported in 1825 more than 1824 ; the exportation of that year and of\u2019 1825, Were considered the most valuable ever shipped from the Colony.Thu total export of 1525 is 65,502 barrels which at 30s per ewt, woud give assum of £262,008, The uew duty of 15 per cent levied on their introduction from the United States, tron which quarter by far the greater proportion gre brought, will probably, iF not repealed, diminish very much the export nest year, No time ought to be lost in making representations on this and the prohibitions and other duties ot the late Imperial acts, so that amend.Un pts may be passed in the ensuing Session, wlnch it is probable will open about the 10th of this month, and l\u2019arliament be dissolved mm May.19,621 barrels of beef and pork were exported in 1823, while only 12,000 were exported the year preceding.\u2018The importation of these acticles from the United States is probibited, and the export withouta change in the act, must dintimish one half very suot, Juive stuck can however be imported at a duty of 10 per cent.The effect of the prohibition would apparently be to give the curing to the Cangdas, but what person will undertake to form a large establishment without security that the prohibition will continue; the curing will be done therefore imperfectly ; pera haps at a cost to preclude competition abroad.Only 1753 barrels of Flour were exported in 1825 less, while there was 1870 ewt.biscuit and 712,720 bushels of wheat mure thanin 1824.The whole exported-in 1825 was 40,167 bbls.flour \u201420196 ¢wt biscuit=\u2014and 718,016 bushels wheat, The export of wheat has no: therefore exceeded 200 quarters, which we believe was the maximum of import above which the ministers thought they could not well renew the Act, 6th Geo, IV.cap.64, which will expire at the end of the next Session of Parent, lt is probable therefore that this act will be renewed, the export it is likely will not be so great next year as it wasin 1825.I'he character of Canadian wheat, owing chiefly to the moisture it imbi .bes while stored in the winter, caused many of 1he cargoes to heat before ther arrival in the English market.\u201cI'he most safe would be if practicable to kiln-dry it in the spring before exportation, this would secure it a character and with it a fair price, There has been we believe a gradual diminution of the export of fish and oil nouwithstanding the encouragement given by the Legislature, This would be, however, a trade of timmense importance if we could only do what the Americans do for us, on our own coasts, Undoubtedly the chief drawback is the want of a foreign market, which it isvhe interest of Great Britain to grant.DIED, This morning Caroline, daughter of Robt.Melvin, Esquire, aged 6 months Lately at Machiche, Mr.Louis Faucher,

mais il devait être dilficle de juger de la lega- lité des paiemens, vu que Vacte 31 George 111, chapitre 31, seeidon 47, crdonnait expressément que certains deniers fussent appliqués aux besoins publics de la colonie, de telle manière, seulement, qu'il serait ordonné par la législature coloniale.Comme les défiet dans le revenu ont cie suppicés pendant long-tems par des emprunts.i la caisse militaire, l'ussem- bléé coloniale paraît avoirété négligente à remplir son devoir de surveiller stricteurent les recettes el les dépenses.Le dernier guictus est vu quittance duané au ci-devant recuveur-gé- péru} pur latrésurerie, est du 10 octobre 1814, auquel tems i ust à croire que les comptes ont été finalement arré.és.En réponse à la représentation de sir Juln Sherbrooke, lord Bathurst signitia l\u2019ordre du roi que la dépense füt votée par l'assemblée, et les comptes rendus, annuellement, Mais come we les objecuons faites par le conseil 10g slatif, \u201cd\u2019abord au nde d\u2019 appropriation, et ensuite a la durée de l\u2019octroi, occusiontèrent le rejet des bills envoyés en et de 1825, les comptes postéricurs à l'an 1818 Be Sont pas encore réglés.On ne voit pas comment dans un tel état de choses, le receveur-général peut être légulement pequitlé à la trésoreric.It à été Fait plusieurs tentatives pour facihter le réglement des comptes d'avances faites sous l'autorité exécutive, ausi que pour un réglement général des eumptes Passes, L'assemblée passa en 1825 un Lill qui avait le premier de ces deux objets en vue, mais il échoua dans le conseils À la dernière session et à la précédente, la nomination de commissaires pour régler les comptes publics a cté proposée dans l'assemblée, mais la mesure n'a point passé, L'asseniblée passa en 1825 des bills d'imndemnité pour les aunées 1819, 1820, 182] et 1822, mais ils furent rejutés par leconseil.Le mode indiqué par lord Bathurst tiendrait certainement les comptes publies dans un etat satisfaisant pour toul Je monde dans la culunie, et ferait de leur audition finale et de leur réglement, selon Ja lui, entre le receveur-général et lu tré- surerie, dont il est l'officier, Une chose facile.2.Lu faillite du ci-devant recevenr-gondral, Cette faillite n\u2019a rien de sarprenant; cust le résultat qu'on doit toujours appréhender lorsque les comptables publics ne sont pus soumis à Une comptabilit2 rigoureuse, el obligés de rendre compile à dus Époques peu éloignées, sous le contiole de ceux qui fournissent lar- gente Dans les comptes transmis it l'assemblée par l\u2019exceutif l\u2019année dernière, la totalité de In détaleation (96,1171.13% ojd.) est portée contre la partie du revenu que l\u2019ou reconnaît être à la disposition de la législature.Cependant, il est bien conuu que le ci-devant receveur-général ne tenait pas de caisses où de comptes séparés de ses recettes et dépenses.C'était done une defalcation sur la totalité de ses recettes.Comme la province n'avait eu aucune voix dans la nomination du receveur-général, et qu\u2019on l'avait même empechée d\u2019exercer aucun controle sur lui, elle à réclainé, dans une adresse au roi, le remboursement du déficit par le gouvernement impérial, S il faut que lu colonie perde cette somme par lu faute d\u2019un vflicier sur lequel elle n'avait point de contrôle, la perte, au mo:ns, ne devrait tomber sur aucune portion particulière des recelles, Mais cire également répartie sur le total, et soutenue par le Maut-Canada aussi Lien que le Bus-Canada.S'il fallait que velui- ci 1x soutint seul, sa position du district de | par l\u2019assenblée, excepté ceux de 183 | pour droits de dotiane, passées en 1824, Lu subside et les appropriations spéciales pour 1826, avec les paiemens de prineipal et intérêts des emprunts pour le canal de la Chine, serout à prendre sur le revenu de l'année 1826, dont on he peut donner qu'utie estimation.Jusqu\u2019icr, avee tous ses embarras, la province a eu le bonheur de ne pas s\u2019endetter, excepté pour le canal de la Chine: cC\u2019est-à- dire, la génération présente à eu du moins ussez de veilu pour ne pas vivee aux dépens des générations futures, et les charger de fardeaux que chaque géuération doit, selon la justice naturelle, porter pour elle-mieme.La légis ature étant maintenant assemblée, Nous ne croyons pas à propos de parler des mesures nouvelles que l\u2019un dit devoir etre apitées dans la session : elles se développeront de juur en jour., Sitoutes lus branches de ta législature s'appliquent sincèrement à avancer les intérêts généraux de la province, ot à réprimer lus abus préjudiciables à ces intérets ; a raflermir jes bases du gouvernement libre établi heureusement par la loi dans ce pays, et à dunner à l\u2019industrie toute la sécurité, toute la libepté et toutes les facilités possibles; on ne peut douter que le résultat de la session ne soit très-avantageux, non-seulement i la province elle- même, mas aussi aux intérêts de la Grande-Bretagne daus cette , artie du monde, Québec, 51 janvier 1826.PARLEMENT PROVINCIAL DU BAS-CANADA, CHAMBRE D'ASSEMBLEE.Vendredi 27 janvier.AM.Cochrane, seerltaire civil de 3.Exe.le gouverneur-en- chef, délivre deux messages dont suit la terreur : «Le gouverneur-en-chef met devant la chambre d\u2019assemblée, conformément à l'acte passé à la dernière sessiun du parlement provincial, qui autorise uu dénombrement de la population de Ja province, des copies de tous les rapports reçus ju-qu'iei des commissaires nonmnés en vertu de l\u2019ucte dans les différens comtés, dont un relevé est ci joint.signé Darmnousr.+ Chäxeau Saint-Louis, Québee, 23 janvier 1826 \u201d « Le gouverneur-en-cheË s\u2019empresse de communiquer à l\u2019assemblée Une dépêche qu'il a reçue du Heutenant-gouverneur du Nouveau Brunswick, et d'informer la chambre qu\u2019il à eru devoir ment de S.M, aux victimes des affreuses calamités annoncées dans cette dépêche.\u201c Ayant accepté l'offre libérale de plusieurs marchands et citoyens de Quevec, d'aider à faire parvenir promptement ces secours, il transmetaussi à la chambre un rapport de leurs procédés et dépenses, et un Stat dis secours additionnels qu\u2019il a fuit expédier des magasins militaires de S.M.4 Ne doutant point que la législature de cette province n\u2019éprouve une émotion généreuse en lisant ces détails, le gouver- neur-en-chet soumet cette dépense à la considération de la chambre d'assemblée, et lui recommande de pourvoir à la balance de 2451.3s.1d.sterling, qu'il a fait avancer par ordre sur le receveur-général, ou à telle partie de cette somme que l'assem- biée pourra juger à propos de couvrir par une appropriation.signé DALHUUSIE, « Chateau Saint-Louis, Québue, 27 janvier 1826.\" M.Caron présente le rapport des commissaires chargés de l\u2019eam- ploi des sommes votées pour les aliénés, ete, dans le district des Trois-Rivières.M.\u2018l'aschereau présente une pétition du lieutenant-colonel Vassal de Monviel, adjudant-général de milice, qui réclame une compensation pour des services extraordinaires, Lille est renvoyée à un comité.M.'Clouet mésente une pétition de MM.Bernard-A.Panet et Thomas Aylwin, commisssaires pour le recensement du comté + de Québee ;
