The Maar of Quirenc briefly acknowledged the compli-
ment, skidded that the ',intimate of loyalty and affec-
tion satertabted by the Canadians towards this country
were never greater than at the present time. He also
alluded to the recent defeat of the dinghy of Canada on
the Militia Bill, and contended that the non-adoption of
that measure did not argue any nowillingnees on the part of
the people of Canada to take step for their own ,
but was due rather to the inflame of party which
at that time ran very high in the country. There were at
the present time more then 25.000 peaces enrolled in the
militia d the country, and what the cireinsistasees required
it a much greater force would very speedily be raised.
