LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 2.

PRIDIDINt Lzxoouc has directed General Dix
to withdraw his recent order, by which Padenl
officers were bidden to pursue marauders into and
on British territory. Special measures are to be
taken to prevent raiding from Canada; but only
such u fall within the regular and legitimate
sphere of the authority of the Government.
Although the recall of this order is no more
than we ware entitled to expect from the
Chief Magistrate of the United States, it is
not the leas a matter on which the people of
both countries may be congratulated. Especially
is the promptitude of Mr. LineoLe to be com-
mended. Every day that General Dix's
order remained unrepealed it rankled and festered
in the public mind. The actual pursuit of
Lieutenant BENNET Torso and his band into
Canada, and their capture by American citizens,
although it was a flagrant violation of our terri-
torial sovereignty, produced no effect in this
country, being simply regarded as a casual incident
of war; but the announcement of a settled de-
termination to seize persons within our frontier,
and withdraw them from the jurisdiction of our
courts, was a measure to be differently regarded,
both as being itself a more serious infringement of
our rights, and as signifying, on the part of the
Government of the United States, a diminished
sense of the obligations of international duty.
Now that the objectionable order is withdrawn, it
may be admitted that the proclamation of some
signal and extraordinary measure of defence
was perhaps necessary to give confidence to a
population menaced with a new and alarming
danger, against which no preparations had been
made. For the people in the towns and villages
on the American side of the frontier the suppres-
sion of raiding was a matter of life and death,
and their own Government owed them an

sasurance of protection. Possibly the order of
General Du was never meant to be more than the
medium or vehicle of that assurance ; but certainly
its maintenance a single day after the Canadian
Government had given proof of its intention to
fulfil its duty would have been inexcusable.
There is another cause of congratulation among
the circumstances attending the withdrawal of
General Dix's order ; we refer to the decision and
rapidity of action which has marked the conduct
of the Canadian Government. In all our conflicts of
interest or sentiment with the United States
there is not only the primary danger that some
wrong may be dune, but this also, that if,
in the integrity of an honourable determination,
a right course is adopted, it will be ascribed to
interest, or more probably to a baser motive,
to fear. But the vigour and despatch of the
Canadian Government has put it out of the
power of any political incendiary, whether at New
York or Richmond, to allege that its course was
influenced by General Dix's oresr of the day. It
was on the 13th that Judge Counsot's astonishing
decision was rendered, and the raiders were set
loose with the money stolen from the St.
Alban's banks in their pockets. On the 14th
the Canadian Executive was in consultation, and
by the following morning its repudiation of Judge
Cot:mimes decision, and its intention to resort to
the extraordinary measures called for by the emer-i
gency,were known throughout Canada. The 14th
of December was the date of General Dix's
order, which did not appear in the New York
papers until the 15th : the 14th was also the day
on which the Canadian Government caused the
issue of new warrants for the re-arrest of the
raiders, and on which the police were sent in pur-
suit of them, while a military force was despatched
to prevent further depredations on the frontier.
In the face of these facts to malice can deprive the
Canadian Government of the credit which belongs to
it of • determination, both spontaneous and ener-
getic, to do all that was dictated by honour and
duty in its relations with the United States. We
are thankful for the result of its action, in
the abrogation of General Dix's order, thank-
ful as much for the sake of the United States as
for Canada and England that the cloud which
seemed to be settling on the two countries has
passed away, and that we are all enabled to enter-
tain the hope and renewed confidence that are
suitable to the opening of a new year. There
has been no quarrel, or just cause of quarrel, be-
tween the two Governments. The difficulties in
which each has been placed, which each has striven
to remove in its own way, were caused by • third
party, and they have served to show that what-
ever may be the wishes of foolish and wicked men
on either aide of the frontier, the Government both
of Canada and the United States are equally able
and resolved to discharge every obligation of good
neighbourhood. From a common disposition so
befitting them we may expect the amicable settle-
ment of whatever questions still remain for adjust-
ment by the two Governments.

Cumberland rivers is again interesting. The view
