| The BRITIsH GUARDS IN CANApA.-The order for
two battaons OF the Guards to prepare for foreign
service has created quite sensation in the fashlona-
BILE circles; ana several editions Of thel song Of
the Soldiers Tear have been recently exhausted
We think il very likely, however that their departure
may be counermanded, as the result of the rebellion
will have been ascertained before they embark; UNI
less the Wing ministry is anxious to get rid of them,
as most of the officers Tories and many of them
members of parliament; and the absence of dozen
opponents is no small benefit in close DIVISION
The I'd battalion of the Grenadier Guards and the
I'd battalion Of the Coldstream Guards, each 500
strong, are coming out to Canada This is unusual,
as il is considered that the Guards have exemption
from foreign service, except in war. No regiment of
guards has been on this continent since the war OF the
revolution. Their arrival in Canada will be qaite an
epoch in the provinces, as the officers are all very
wealthy, being principally nobemen, or the sons of
great landed propretsrs. A subatern in the guards
has the rank of captain in the army; and captain
in the guards that Of colonel in the line.
