instructions enjoin upon you the utmost impartiality and an entire disregaid of unjust dis tinctions 8 we thank your excellency for the frank and open avowal of the aaluinry principle that in eery country to he acceptable to the great hotly of ihe people is one of the most esaential elements of fit ness for public motion we shall rejoice to hear iltal arrangement have been adopted to lay before ihe competent authorities a more particular account than heretofore of the exercise ol the royal autho rity in the appointments to public office in this pro viticft we perfectly appreciate the motive by which his mtjeety is actuated yet we cannot hut leel some anxiety lest the too frequent appeal to his majesty should in certain cases have an effect cou- traiy to his gracious intentions 9 it will be of the greatest advantage that the emulation of incompatible offices in the same peiwn should be completely remedied your excellency cannot fail to remembei that the particular cases to which you have been pleased to declare that your attention lies been already given were among oth ers provided against by a hill passed by the two houses of the provincial parliament anduhseqnent- iv taken into consideration by his majestys go- crnmcnt this circumstance and the complaints which have uiitormly been made on this subject would have led us to hope that your excellency would have been invested with the powers necessa ry to enable ynur excellency forthwith to carry in- o ellect your determination on the subject of the salutary separation of the principal component parts of the government we should he happy to see established that responsibility on the prt of the executive power in this province to the legislature thereof and w the house in particular which is hap pily established in the united kingdom and im parts strength and security in its institutions wc moreover confidently hope that the arrangements jour excellency has been pleased toinention will be speedily carried into

by your excellency 10 the intentions announced by your excel lency with regard to the communication to thii bouse by the executive of all despatches accounts papers and information of which in the course of our deliberations we may hae need are of a nature to cull for our particular acknowledgements we du ly appreciate the fears of his majestys govern ment that we may have been exposed to some

connect ed with the revenue npd fioanft edd ft bdpe that with your excellencys aid the enquirira which this house will continue and institute will hnve a happy effect on the legislation and on the

and may aid your excellency in collecting the information and forming the opinions which your excellency announced your intention of transmitting to his majestys government 1 1 hy abandoning the too frequent practice of reserving bills for the signification of his majeatya pleasure and that of delaying the communications or the royal pleasure as well with regard to such bills as to the addresoet of this houm the execu tive authorities will concur in consolidating io tba province itself an effective and regular govern ment adapted to provide in the best manner for the wants of its inhabitants thie amelioration of th practice on this subject may also be especially fa vorable to the establishment of colleges and schools fir the advancement or christian knowledge and of sound learning unattended hy those delays which our excellency believes that under a contrary sys tem the greatest zeal or activity in his majestys ser vice would be insufficient to obviate the deep and personal interest which his majesty designs to take m the affairs of tins province have happily suggest ed to him a measure which we cannot but applaud 12 his majestys displeasure announced be forehand by your excellency at any conduct oo the part of the government liable to the imputation of giving to the eughsh an undue preference over the french language j of calling upon the judge for extrajudicial opinions on question which may subsequently come before ihetn for decision or of order and security and we are persuaded that yoor excellency can have no motive for not giving tho fullest effect to hs majesty injunctions on this head 13 with respect to the idea of my undue par tiality to the english language over that which makes part of the laws and institutions guaranteed in the most solemn manner to his majesty canadian sub jects we learn with pleasure that his majesty dis approves and is desirous to pieveut the adoption of any prcice which would deprive either cltssof his subjects of

people will be exercised over all public monies payable to his ma jesty or to his officers in the province whether aris ing from taxes or from any other canadian source carries with it the admission of an incontestihle and essential principle calculated toensure that efficien cy and responsibility which are so mnch to be de fied in the government and to maintain that con stitutional conlroul which the people have a right to exercise by their representatives overevery branch of the executive government on this head which embraces avast number of matters of detail wa shall receive with

request made by your excellency in consequence of measures heretofore adopted by the executive power and with regard to which we hae already humbly expressed our opinions to his ma jestys government
