From the London Morning Post.
CANADA The M diligence winch reach
cd London yesterday from Canada and the
United States, the most important partic
ulars Of which we hasten to lay before the
public in a second edition, Of a mingled
charac'er-partaking in pretty equal pro-
portions of The gloomy and the cheering in
relation to The actual position of affairs.
and. presenting us alternately with sinister
and with auspicinus omens Of the future.
Perhaps The most formidable source OF
danger brougI, into view by the advice OF
yesterday. is the disposition manifested BY
part of the people, if no, also by the gov.
eminent of the u. States, to make common
cause with the Canadian insurgen,s.-
Should this disposition prevail to any con-
siderable extent in the American Unlnn. it
is clear that the struggle IN which Great
Britain is involved by the imbecty or
troachery of her rulers is a struggle from
which there is no possibility of honorable.
retreat, and which can only be successfully
maj aimed by the prompt, unsparing, and
energetic employment OF The utmost pow
ers and resources Of the State!
