The resolution laid before the parliament of Lower Canada, relative to the trade between that country and this, is of singular character. It complains of an act of the British parliament as 'highly detrimental' to their interests, and for remedy thereof proposes an application to the president of the U. States, praying that he will take such measures 'for the maintenance of the interest and vindication of the rights' of the people of Canada,' as he may deem proper.
This may be regarded in the nature of an appeal from the mother country to the U. States, and goes so far as to propose that, if Great Britain will not, by negotiation, remove the cause of dissatisfaction, that our congress shall adopt 'measures of retaliation.'
