Accounts from Lower Canada describe the indignation of' the colonists

at the "atrocious resolutions." Public meetings have been called in several counties to take the state of public affairs into consideration. It was expected that resolutions would be passed against the consumption of all duty-paying articles, for peti- tioning the Congress of the United States for a free trade between the States and the colony, (in default of which, smuggling will be encouraged,) and for the assembly of a Convention of Dele- gates in the summer. Supplies, it is said, are utterly out of the question. No member, in the present temper of the colony, would dare to vote for them, in the next session of the Canadian Par- liament. Such has been the first effect of the Downing Street scheme for 8ettling the affairs of Canada.
