that the feelings that provoked the rebellion
of l838.«are yet alive, and the action of the
Executive evinc.-es the present strength‘ ofthe
discontent.-d faction. The French party of
the. Eastern section, united with the Reform-
ers of the. West, were early seen to have
control of the Assembly; and the introduc
tion by Mr. Baldwin, :1 R-‘former ofgreat
ability and popu,la'rity, of Resolutions declar-
ing a lack of confidence in the Executive
Council. provediihata contest between the
two leading Parties must occur, in which
there was every reason to believe the Liber-
als would prove. victorious. The result of
this (lemonstraiion was the opening of the
Council to the Opposition. Sir Charles
Bagot addressed a letter to Mr. Lafoniaine a
prominent member of the French party, for
whose arrest a reward of $500 was offered
after the Rebellion—announcing his inten-
tion of inviting to the cooperation of his
Government the French population, and
offering seats in his Cabinet to several gen
ilemen ofthe Liberal party whom he nam-
ed. A new Council was thus finzilly formed,
and Mr. Lnfontnine became Attorney Gen-
eral for Lower, and Mr. B3ll(l'.Vln for Upper

Mr. Girou:-iid, a prominent French leader
at the bloody affair of St. Eustache. is also to
have office with a seat in the Cabinet, and
Mr. Draper, late Attorney Gena-ral for Can-
'-lilil West, is to beSpr-aker of the Le-_r,isl:itivc
Council. These movemcntsond coiiccssions
on the p-irt of Sir Charles liavc excited the
