 a'<aumed tlio entire military antlioriiy antl command over the Troop.s ; lliat lie i-= also in com- 
 mand of till- Mililiu; and lliat the Commissary (ieneral at CluelKK' has comiminicaled to the

 thathaviii;^ had tin; misfortune to dilli;r from Her Majesty \s (Jovernment, on one or two jioints 
 of Colonial oolicy, ho fell it his duty, on liie 10th of tSepttmber last, respectfully to tender lo 
 Her Majesty's Principal J^ecretary of Stale for the Colonic.s, the resignation of the important 
 station, which tiir a short lime, In' has had the honor to hokl in this Province.

 became tlie Ke]ircsentalivc ol a ]3riti.>^h Monarch, and lor tlie unwaverini,' support which Your 
 Excellency has never failed to i^ivc to ihc establi.-lied jirinci[)lc3 of the Constitution. 
 
 It is this learless adherence to rii^rht ))rinciples, rather than to i-xpediency. which lia.s 
 enabled \ onr F.xccllency to mlly round the (io\crnment, in a moment of dnnuer. the arms oi' 
 an imited IVopio : and to exliibit ibis Province to our .Sovereion, and to the world, in a jwslure

 Her Majesty's Government llic < onviclion. that liiey necil not fear to support in T^pjier Canada 
 the principles of the liritish Const itntirui, it will have produced an elfect of inlinite value to this 
 Colony : and will have supplied v hat we believe has been chielly wanting to insure its permanent 
 tranquillity. 
 
 But the TiCgislatise Council cannot refrain from cxpressinp; the regret with which thev 
 have obsei'\ed. in the ca~e of Your Excellency, and ol y<iur respected and gallant Fredeiessor, 
 that ynur C(umcc)i(ui with the tiovernment of this Colony has seemed incapable of being pro- 
 tracted, with satisfaction to yoursehes. iieyond the i)eriod when it became evident that no 
 submission would be made by you to a sjiirit of fa'-tions discontent, which nothing can appease 
 but the ilestruction of British rule. 
 
 We beg Your Excellency to believe, that the Legislative Council will ever entertain a 
 gralelul recollection of the justice and condescension which they have always had occasion to 
 acknowledge in their intercourse with Your Excellt>ncy ; and that they participate deeply in 
 the feeling ol' general regret at Your Excellency'-^ approachina dej)arture from this rrovinc«-.
