They think very seriously of this, and very justly. The Calcutta newspapers consider the principle of colonisation to be conceded. We must abrogate this 'Regulation' without loss of time. I went to the Duke to tell him of it.
Bentinck seems to suppose that, in keeping back a letter which stated that Canada would separate if the Navigation Laws were not repealed, I intended by some very ingenious dodge to hasten their repeal!
