a constant drain on this country. In Ceylon

its commencement, cost the country one million
and a half. That morning advices had been
received from Lower Canada, that the
House of Assembly had refused to vote
the supplies proposed to them, stateing

is the first duty of the Legislature, and that
"that duty will be most efficiently performed
in reducing the overgrown bulk of the Civil
List of the Province, the progress of which, in
every species of public improvement, seems
to have been tardy, in the direct proportion of
the speed with which the expences have accumulated."
He was happy that the Assembly had done so; if they had not, the expenditure
of which they complained would
have destroyed all independance, and not a
word against the Government would have
been heard, except through the mouths of a
"factious Opposition".
