TnpIAN Orrice, Toronto, 5th January, 1841.

; The Lieutenant Governor has directed me to inform the deputation of Chiefs

from the Grand River that he has maturely considered their speech to him, and par-
ticularly that important part of it which relates to the occupation of their lands by
white people without.authority.

The Lieutenant Governor is of opinion that very ereat difficulties will be found
in any medium course between the expulsion of all intruders or non-interference, as
experience has shown that with all the anxiety to do justice, and with all the care
exercised to prevent injury to Indian interests, the interference of the Indians them-
selves, continually, has created new difficulties, to which there seems to be no end,
and yet the Government is expected to compromise its own character by adjudging what
is right and wisely recommended by the Indians, or what, on the other hand, may be
eapriciously or corruptly counselled by them.

The Lieutenant Governor is of opinion that there can be no remedy found for
the continuance of this unsatisfactory and embarrassing state of affairs while the
