LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25,- 1865,

In fulfilment of the pledge given by the Gover-
nor-General, the Canadian Parliament had scarcely
assembled, when the report of the Delegates who
visited this country was laid before the members.
It is an interesting document, clearly expressed, and
summarising very lucidly the conversations which
took place between the colonial representatives and
the Home Government. It begins by reminding the
Governor of the circumstances under which the De-
legates were despatched to England in April last.
It is no. seeret that the aspect of affairs in the United
States had given rise to very serious uneasi-
ness respecting the defenceless position of
Canada, and the Home Government had several
times urged upon the Canadian authorities the
adoption of protective measures. These protective
measures, however, were expected to entail increased
military obligations upon the colonists, and though
the Canadian Ministry were prepared to
,consider
such a necessity, they thought that it
would be wise to arrive at a distinct
understanding with the Home Government
as to the relations of the mother country and the
colonies, and the share of defence to be borne by
each in care of war. The prospect of the confede-
ration of the States, which considerably simplifies
the defensive system of the provinces, rendered it
more desirable to obtain an early settlement of all
these matters. When it is remembered that it is a
party in this country, though perhaps a small one,
which is always ready to begrudge every penny
expended on our colonies, forgetting the wealth
which they indirectly supply to us, and which is
prompt in declaring that the colonies should
bear their own burden, and will shrink from the
necessity of protecting themselves so long as we do
it, we shall fully agree with the Canadian Ministry
as to the wisdom of obtaining a clear settlement
by which " all ground of irritating and hurtful
reproach" should be avoided. The mission to
England was hurried on by the disturbances on
the frontier, the threatening attitude assumed by
the American Government, and the notice respect-
ing the increase of the naval force on the lakes.
The New Brunswick elections, which were adverse
to the Confederation scheme, and the reluctance of
the Canadian Government to propose a vote for
defensive works at Montreal while Upper Canada
was left defenceless, further hastened the move-
ments of the Delegates, and accordingly in April
last they started for England, where a committee of
the Cabinet was appointed to confer with them.
The members of the Committee. were the Duke of
SOMERSET, Earl DE GREY AND RIPON, and Messrs.
GLADSTONE and CARDWELL, and these gentlemen
gave the most careful and courteous attention
to the various questions submitted to them by the
Delegates.

The first point discussed was the confederation of
the Provinces, and on this the Canadians receive
very cordial assurances of approval and support.
The Intercolonial Railway was naturally mentioned
in this part ,of the discussion, when the imperial
guarantee of a loan for that work was
willingly given. Then came the important ques-
tion of the military relations between the colony
and the mother country. Before entering upon
details the Delegates asked for a rep ort on
the whole subject of the defence of Canada,
with plans and estimates from the best naval
and military authorities. This report vras confi-
dentially communicated to them, and they de-

dare it to be calculated to remove all doubtis-to
the security of the country " so long as the hearts of
our people remain firmly attached to the British
flag, and the power of England is wielded in our
defence." The plan for the defence was cordially
approved of by the Delegates on behalf of Canada,
and the discussion then proceeded to the relative
shares to be undertaken by the Imperial and by the
Colonial Government. The colonists, notwith-
Etanding their willingness, were, it was urged by
the Delegates, in an awkward position, owing to

many adverse causes, such as the effects of the

American War on their commercial relations, and
also the general feeling of insecurity, which had

been greatly heightened by the indiscreet assertions

of the defenceless state of the country rashly made
in the British Parliament. On this subject the
Delegates were hurt and indignant, and frequent
reference was made to it. They pointed out to the

Home Government that great additional strength
would be given to Canada by throwing open the
north-western territories to free settlement. With
large and enlightened views, which show true states-
manship, they rely rather on the development of the
conntry,;the increa,se of the population,. and the cul-
