Mr.. Forsytk's risit to Canada is a deli

ten. We copy the following from the Mon
treal Herald :--BOston Post.
On Thursday afternoon, the lis, and
.oJ;regiments were inspected on the Camp
de Mars, by Major General Clitherow, who
was accompanied by his staff and the Hon.
Mr.. Forsyth, the American Secretary of
State, whose correspondence with Mr.. Fox
II. Is. NJ. Ambassador at Washington, du-
ring the frontier disturbances was Of So con-
spicuous nature. The troops went
through their evolutions with their usual
precision. Yesterday morning, Brother
Jonathan was surprised at witnessing the
inspection of the 7lh Hussars aud the Ar
tilery, who saluted, marching past in slow
and quick time, and then in single files.
Mr.. Forsyth rode along with General Clithe-
TOW anu CldH. dnU eAdtnlUSu ltIc men MI
nutely. After the Artillery left the Champ
de Mars, the Hussars went through va
rious eyolutions of charging, aud also the
sword exercise, sight which was Ms novel
as it was gratifying to the numerous spec
tators, who seemed delighted with the no
BILE appearance of the men, and the dociI-
ty of their horses. Mr.. Forsyth requested
to see one of the carbines which are carried
by the Hussars, and in examining it he
looked down into the barrel, for what pur-
pose we could not tell. He uniformly re-
turned the salute in the same way as Cen
eral Clilherow did, and is rather good
looking elderly gentlemsn. The object Of
his visit to Canada has not yet transpireJ,
but it is probable that it has some reference
to the Boundary Question, which Maine is
about 10 take into their own hands, in spite
of the General Government"
