London _ Tuesday, September 16th, 1817
The letters from Halifax (Nova Scotia), received this
morning, mention a circumstance of considerable inportance to
our unfortunate countrymen, who were deluded to emigrate to
America. A committee was formed for the registration of every
person arriving, his age, qualifications, etc., and it was
requested that every person in the colony would transmit what
servants, agriculturists, etc., he wanted, that the emigrants
might be provided for on their landing; a list was also kept
of grounds which might be occupied for a length of time for
the clearing and for commencing the cultivation; very
beneficial results were expected from these arrangements, it
is expected to be followed immediately in Canada and the
adjacent provinces.
