Thi geographical position of this vast country may be thus ge* oerallyMated — It is bounded (in the East by the Gulf of St. Law- rence, and Labrador * ', — on the North, by the Territories of Hud- son's Bay ; — on the West, by the Pacific Ocean ; on the South, by unexplored Indian countries ; and part of the United States of A- Bit^rita, viz. Missouri, Illinois^ Indiana, Michigan, Ohio. Pennsyl- vania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, the District of MaiUf and by the British Province of New Brunswick. These boundaries describe a lat ge and magnificent portion of th« globe wt inhabit ; large enough fur the foundation of an £rapirft which may become hereafter the arbitress of (he destinies of tba sew world, embracing with her mighty arms the whole width of the gresf c6ntinent of America — Secured in her rear by the frozen regfnns of the north, and with such a front as she possesses to- wards the south, it is impossible but, with the adoption of wise and decisive measttres, she must be able hereafter to hold a far mor« imperious sway, in regard to the countries of the south, than wafe ever held by the Tartars (in their best days,) over Ai^ia-; bT,'bj the northern hordes cf Europe, over the Empire of Rofpe, at the period of the overthrow of the then mistress of the world. Th« foundation stone of this £m[)ire has been laid by the Queen of the O- ceBn,and it depends on the prudence and wisdt»ui oi her councils, and on (he loyalty, ambition, temper, skill, industry, brave* y, high qualities, and perseverance of Canadians, no matter of what origioi how far the fairy vision which is kindled up in fancy, may be rea* Used. But this is not a time, nor a place, for tht indulgence' of reverie, however splendid or enticing, and we must be content with present realities. — To the contemplation of these realities, forming altogether so promising an embryo, let us proceed.

Those, however, who have removed to it from Great Britain are agreeably disappointed in finding it more pleasant, (be* cause not so ra»ist and uusettled) than that which they have left. It might 1)6 said, with no great imftropriety, that the present f inha- bitants of Canada have but two seasons, — Summer and Wiuter, — for Winter has no sooner disappeared, which generally happens by the middle of April, than the whole animal and vegetable crea- tion starts into renewed life with a rapidity and vigor that leaves the season of spring with such doubtful limits as to be scarcely perceptible, or deserving; a specitic character; again, in the fall of the year, the months oi' September and October are generally so fine and summer like, and these being succeeded by vv4iat is so apt- ly terrriedth^; Indian Svmmer. in November, (that month which is so gluomy in England, and taid to be so fatal to Englishmen) that we should have great difficulty, were it not for an artificial caleo- da", in saying wlicn it was Autumn. J :.♦ 'lt> convey a more just and certain idea of the severity of an Up- p49r Canadian Wittter, it may be well to mention that the chaia of ahallow Lakes which run in an easterly, and south easterly di- rection from Lake Simcoe, towards the AficJiand District, are sel- dom o/'never frozen so hard as to bear a man with any heavy bur- then witfc much safety until about Ci)ristraas; and they are again * It must be understood that we are always speaking of the set* tied parts of Upper Canada, unless especially roentioned to the contrary. t ^Ve my present, because we have no doubt of a further ame- lioration of climate as the woods are cleared away and the waters dirriinish. t In the Western District- the culture of both Cotton and Indigo has been attempted, on a small scale, with success ; and Vineyards and Hop gardens may be laid out advantageously iu almost any part of the Upper Province. , .,..•.,., ["■-",■■ , , 45 9pfim before the middle of April. Owin^ to the vrant of a propec explanation by travellers, and others, attempting: to descrihe this ciiuiitiy, an erroneout idtft has been lormed in England ihat our Great Lakes are frozen over in winter; whereas they are alvvaya opfn, h*^quently exhibiting a beautiful and striking pheuonienun during the incleiiaent season, by reason of the water being warmer than the atmusphrrical air ; in eorii^equf nee ul which, an evapora- tion resembling .steam, and in eveiy va>-iely of shape, in clouds, columns, and pyramid^, may be frequently observi'd ascending niili uncommon grandeur and magnificenct' from the va^t "uriacas of Ontario, Erie, Hurnn,and Superior, as from so many immense bulling caldrons We recollect an eminent landscape-painter and designer in England, who, when about to design a Iand9caf>e, was aucusiomed to seat himself in an armed chair, in the centre of a large rooni, and, by means of tobacco and a pipe, send forth co- lumn after column of tobacco smoke, in rapid succession, with a view of assisting his iinagii*ation in the combination of forms by noticing the new and singular and griitesque shapes into which the ■<■ sooke would embody itself. — Those artists who may require aids ot this description, would do well to secure some eminence ovepi looking one of the great Lakes just enumerated, u hereon to build ' an observatory ; for, nothing can be more grrnd than the spec- tacle to which we have alluded. It is the small, and nearly stagnant, bays, and for a few yards only from the shores, where the water is shallow, that any part of the Great Lakes is frozen in winter 1 he earth too, is s'tldom f) o- ■ zen at a greater def>th than from 12 to 18 inches, and the sriow rarely lies in greater depth than from 18 inches to two feet, unless * where it is drifted. It is ''ery seldom the roads aie in any per|mi- nent condition .for the use of the Slei}>;h or Carriole before the se-. «ond week in January, and they are again broken np towards \h^^*-.. end (.f March, a fact which sufficiently indicates the duration of V snow, and of sharp frosts. It is proper, however, toremaPk^that the winters of Lower Canada, (being in a higher latitude) are bothr . more xevere and of longer duration. There isa diflfertince ol^ at *' least one month in the length o) the inclement season at Quebec ; Slid on the shores of Lake Ontario, and tarlher westward, to the Sandwich frontier, this favourable diOerence is still greater. In ll[)per Canada a labouring man, if he chooses, can at all times work out of doors ; but, in the Lower Province there are days of par- ticular severity, in the winter season, in which it would be impos*' sible for him to pursue out doors work. There are natural phenomena in the climate of Canada which [remain unaccounted for, and are sufficiently puzzling even to the most philosophical genius Of these, the Indian Summer, which almost uniformly 'commences and tenninates in the aionth of No- vembtirj and '*, tertian intervals ai fine weather, ihroughoutjhe X:« . •' \v ■ I ,.*;« -1.. • ■■ . i'Wn : 46 i't 'j 1 -,i ii! ill :ii 1 winter, after two or three nights of intense frost, deserve to be parficulariy mentioned The Indian Summer, as it is termed, consists of m«ny d«y«, (the (ndiaits say there wu«/ be. fifteen smoky days to constitute one of these summer!):) of drligl)tfij||y mild, serene weHtlier, with a misty, hazy atmosphere, though the haze is dry and soft, appear* ing to rest <:hiefly on the horizon — In the evening of these days, the sun generally goes down with a crimson flush on the western heavens. The ({ooeral temperature of the atmusphere, during this season, is singularly grateful to animal sensation ; and, those of the feathered tribes who are directed by an infallible guide to seek •ther regions more to^he southward, on the approach of hoary- headed wintrr, avail themselves of this charming season for tbs prosecution of their interesting; journey ; audit is at this time the rivers and lakes of Canada are coveted by innumerable flocks of wild fo\Vl of every species known to this quarter of the world, ga« thering with their families for winter quarters. By what is ternved tertian intervals of fine weather, througli th« winter sea>»on, is meant a vety extraordinary and certain phenu- ■lenon that may be relied upon with the jame surety as the diu> nal motion-^ of the planets. The greatest intensity of trost is al- ways rtmittant%l the end of the third dny ; that is, the inhabitants I of Upper Canada never sufl'er the extreme severity of their climate for more than two or three days at any one time ; being pertectij| assured, on feeling any extreme degree of cold, that it will miti- gate within three days, and that several days of mild weather wil' aucceed. — It may require several years of attentive observation tol Ascertain the number and duration of the intervals of mild or se-, vere weather that usually occur in a Canadian winter between tbel 43cl and 49th degrees of North Latitude ; but it would prove a sub-f ject ot very interesting and instructive inquiry to any gentleraaBJ of "ufll< ient leisure to pursue it in the country. So many persons have been deterred from emigrating to CanaJ lt>ik through a false notion of its climate being frightfully severe,tha it seems to be a duty incumbent on those who speak or write full the instruction of others at a diistance, to endeavour to remove tlitf erroneous impression. Those who arrive from Europe, and seltlij . in Upper CanMda.uniformiy express their satisfaction at the change in thib particular, at least. There is generally a clearness, dryne^il ftnd brilliancy in the atmosphere, so captivating, after the caturrj hat moisture which saturates the a^r of northern Europe, that iti impossible for the newly inducted emigrant not to rejoice in thj change — whilst the starry hosts of heaven appear with a splerida far more dazzling than anything he has before seen, and the mod of travelling in winter in carrioles or sleighs, the easiest and tiu ^ delightful in the world, gives him ready access to distant marketi whether of business or pleasure. .'- • x. ■%: > ^ whirh river, a partic tain th earth Bfierce, Sketch City, distant brown, to that tween mentio exfierin Loudoi *Pas into a -, 1' V' •a . ^ -Aj-«.

Their produce at th«^ close of the third autumn, may be stated thus, at a low estimate : From 10 acres of wheat, about 2 ditto of oats . 2 ditto of Indian corn . 2 ditto o( barlf'y . 2 ditto of potatoes . . 2 ditto of turnips • . Fumplcin^, in number about 5000, which are planted in the Id' <1iAncorn hills. ISot more than ten tons of hay can be expected from the mea* dow, incumhert>d as it will be with stumps of trees, for several years. To this nruist be added the. natural increase of the stock, together with the abundance of water and musk melons in the corn fields, and of garden productions, and an ox and several hogs in " salt. After this third autumn of 1824, the repayment of the capital ad' Yanced will begin ; it will arise out of the production of the har- vest of 1825, and the rate at which it will be made, may be judged •f by the foregoing statement. <* It appears to me impossible," continues this ingenious writer, ''that upon equal capital any set of men of the class here con- templated, caabe placed- so advantageously, both to themseivei and to the country, in any other part of the world as in Uppes 'Canada." The author illustrates his argument by an example, after the fol- lowing manner . — •^ In 1795, the parish of Barkham, in Berkshire^ contained 20l)j inhabitants, of whom aboLt 40, besides the sick, received telief to the amount of £75 a year. The average exi^ense of snpporlin; the families of labourers in Barkham was then about d£25 e>)cli; making the rat« of £75 to be divisibla amongst a number of people equivfUent to three ordinary families, which may be said to be the D'.imber in 'excess in the want of employment. — It the parish coui' , be disburdened of these three families, and employment shouli not vary, those left behind would receive wages equal to their full support, until yaupers agaiu super abuandt ^. ei " The wans fur Sftttlinp; tliree fRmilies in Upper Canada Is §§- snrvHd to be a loan of £6(X), to be repaid in ten years, hs before stated, and this sum will be raised en'-ily by a mortgage of the rates under the sa»ictlon of an Act of Parliament- — Thus the rates will l)fe liiwered forthwith to the interest of that loan ; vis : tu £30 a venr from £7d ; and they will decrease continually in proportion us the loan shall be repaid, and as the town plot dind other land apportioned to the parish shall become marUc^table This will bs variable in point of time ; and the amount of the proceeds wil! depend on the general prosperity of the whole settlement ; it can hardly tail of m^iking a very rnnsiderabie return within seven years i»f thR coloMi«ts quitting England. According to the exi>enditure of Barkham, the rates for a surplus population of one hundrrd fa- mines i^ £2500 a year. Upon this income it would be easy to bor- row £20,000 under the authority of an Aet of Parliament. The i»it«»iest on which being taken at £1000 a year, the parish from vrhich the colimisls could proceed, would make a present annual saving of £1500. «♦ Since the publication of the forej^oing sketchy several indivi- dttals in England, in Canada, and in Nova Scotia, otherwise wetl diiiposed towards the views of the writer, have objected, that ** un- der the present depressed state of agriculture, the settler will not he able to repay the capital advanced." This should not, certainly, be a subject of merp conjecture. In fact, it may be reduced to calculation. The " York Market prices for the preceding week'/, are given in the Upper Canada Gazette of the 23d of May, 1822;' now before the writer ; from which it can easily be shewn, in the article of wheat only, that there will not be any difficulty for an industrious man to raise the required instalments Suppose a farmer and his two able sons, such as the writer has known many in the country, and who left England four years ago, riearly destitute, about to clear and to fence off. for a crop, teiH acres of good, heavily timbered land, in order to raise a small sum of money. The question will be, can they '< in the depresi*ed state of agriculture," produce, not a surplus of corn, but a- lur-, plus oi money ? In what follows, the farirter and his sons are presumed to buy every article at the market price, and to dispose of the produce at the same ; any practical man will at once notice that, if the party were established on their farm, and living upon their own produce^ as in Canada the farmers universally do, the money expenditure would not be one third of what it.is here estimated at ; for instance instead of giving five pence far a gallon of floor, the farmer would send wheat to the miller, and receive in return his proportion of fl'Uir, toll being detained for wii9, he. during; the tine they are reap> ing the wheat Provi^ioa lor carrying the wheat . . threshing . . . , Kuep for the o\Qn when lodging and g^etting in the seasons, inde|)enden; of' browso,'a ' most capi^tal feed, well known to the ' after- noon ' Canadian farmer, as well as to the early $ -Itler ... . .

Wn think it was the famous Go TAVws Adolpuus of S\\eden, who said that he would not desirei larger army than 40 000 men fit for actual service, to accompW any military ohj.-ct; a-sui:b a forr«» wo dd always enable him ^rhuse bis posiliuns. Il Is indeed worthy of remaik how few * These carried intj ^^> in a ivf H^tetaly do] '- ■ . 7S compiratively, were actually engaged in all the most memorable bartlrs. both of ancient and modern times But to return, M du pRADT never reflrcted that, unlike Gnienne or Normandy, or Fin- laiidi the Canndas were destined to becnuie in a few year? a match single han'^ed, against any neighbouring foe; and nf this fact there cannot now be much doubt, whilst nothing could be more Erepostereus than to suppose the two French provinces whicli ave been named were a match for all France ; or, that Finland was capable of defending itself against the enormous power of the Russian Autocrat. £uougb, however, has been said on this sub* ject here. The exports of Canada are already considerable ; and, from the encouragement held torlh by the »* Trade JicV passed during th^ last Session of the Imperial Farliaiuent, in favour of this countty^ it is but reasonable to expect they will be greatly increased in a short time. Since the last war with the United States the exports from the two Provinces have averaged (including Furs and Pel- try*) about £1,500,000, ^and from 600 to 700 ships are now em- ployed every year in the foreign and coasting trade. The tonnage employed during the present year (1822) by the Custom House returns at Quebec, is no less than £145,942 ! The prices of Provisions in the Upper Province arc at present (1823) still rather low.

Many of what, in some countries, may be called luxnriea can be had here in their proper season, at very moderate price, such as Oysters, Cod fish, Venison, and Game in abundance. The domestic animals of Canada adfoit of great improTement, and it is strongly recomnsended, frqm the succes? of some experi- ments which have been :ilready made, to attend to this improve- ment rather by judicious selection and crcssing^ than by import- ing fine breeds irom the too highly refined stock of £ngland ; ex- cepting only a few Stallions of th(^ large improved Coach, or Cart Horses of England, which are much wanted to give weight and power 10 the spindleshanked,' flimsey, horses imported into the Upper Province from the United States ; and, to give size to the ti.^ht, compact, hardy, invincible, little horse ol the Lower Pro- vince. * These valuable product* to a very large amount are annually carried into t4ie United States, from various parts of Upper Cana- da, in a way that i.^ unknown at Montreal or Quebec, and conso- qiieiilly do not appear in the Custom House Books there. i' ! - ' : I't 1 .

Sheep are for the greater part, mported from the United States, and have more or less of tlie < Merino ' in their breed ; too mu( b so, in our opinion, to be so pr(.fitabie in this climate, and v^ ith the careless management they receive, as Ihey may be. it is thouglit that the improved 'Cheviot', whose fleece is weighty, and possesses a long staple, might be introduced into-Canada with great succes!?, and it is well worth while to make the experiment. — il is to be la* mented that the difierent breeds of sheep are not more generally cultivated than they are in Canada, as the climate is very tavorahie to the growth of wool, which might hereafter become a valuable article of export. There are those who wish for an importation of the largest ireed of Flng]i>-h HAgs, to give weight to those of this country, as well astorpndtTthem of a more 'kindly nature,' as a breeder would term it. But, there is not the smallest dotibt that a 'kiifnl and at- tentive farmer, who is a good manager, may have a breed of Hogs, without leaving Canada, equal to every thing that he may desire. Hogs which arrive at the weight of 300 lbs are surely heavy enough for ordinary consumption and we have frequently known insten* ces of their arriving at such a weight in Canada, without any par* ticiibtr attention b<-ing paid So much has now been said on subjects that may be deemed, ia eener^U, foreign to a publicaliun of this nature, that the writer is a- fraid of enlarging his sketch until he Icnowshow far it may prove at'ceptabl(* lo the public Should he have the happiness to find bis plan ap r-wed. he will undertake to work up, by degrees, what is now nothin"; more than a rough outline, very hastily sketched, *^ into a more finished pictutre, for the succeeding volumes of this wo'k. which he is desirous of rendering as u>eful a companion as ke tan make i to ell ranks of people who visit, or who naay intend . ^Ut visit, aa well as '.^ those who reside, in this Province. , . r> • ■ >: .. , .rJ .^..- 75 Before he concludes, howerer, as n groat deal lia.« been said, of lat«i in di-pafSR*'™'*'"' ol'llie plan, adopted by Government, which grrtols no more than 60 Acres, wilhtMil the payment of fees, to ordinary api'licants, tlie writer cannot hrip repeating that the libe- rality of the British Governnaent, in this particular, is without a paraMel in the history of the world, ancient or modern.

Indjstry and commerce, which do not act immediately upon the agriculture of a country, are tn the power of foreign nations, who may either dispute these advantages through emulation, or deprive the country of thom through envy. This may be done either by establibhing the same branch of indus- try among themselves, or by suppressing the exportation of their own unwrought materials, or the importation of those materials in manufacture, But a state well manured, and well cultivated, pro- duces men by the fruits of the earth, and riches by those men. — This is not the teeth which the dragon sows to bring forth soldiers to destroy each other ; it is the milk of Juno, which peoples the heavens with an innumerable multitude of stars." ^ .^ YORK,U.
