a Portsmouth paper of Monday, Dec. 4lh, brought by
the Quebec, states that The 93d regiment intended for
Gibraltar, is forthwith 10 proceed 10 Halifax, 20 be ready
for Canada in case of need. The Editor remarks: 'This
looks like coming to blows and the shedding of bInod
but before that happens we do hope it will be well con-
sidered whether the Canadus are worth keep at such
u risk. AS independent States they will cost us nothing,
and be quite as valuable 10 Tie mother country

Unsuppled with provisions, they must evacuaie Navy

10 inform those al 4 distance, that not one tenth OF what
they hear deserves belief. The Eastern papers are filled
with the most exaggerated accounts oil the doings at
Navy Island and Of the force assembled There. So lar
as We can learn, not u man on the Island, or on the ga

10 The several companies Of city guards, is amply sn:h-

THE LATEST TACK.

"The Government makes no war upon the banks
it merely desires 10 see their operations confined
within their legitimate sphere will, at all times,
be disposed to extend such legal accommodations TO
the banks and to commerce, may be in Its power;
and has never made war upon the legitimate pur-
suits Of either"
The above is from the Globe Of Monday
night. A stranger to oil that has passed dur
ing the last eighteen months, on reading it,
would be led to the belief that the Govern
ment has invariably been the friend, defender
and protector of the banks. But how do the
facts correspond with the assertions made
above. a....,.
In the recommendation made by the Chief
Magistrate to Congress, to pass bankrupt
law, applicable only TO banks; was not there
war directed against their legitimate pursuits
The declarations made by General jackson,
and put forth through the columns of the
Globe, that the banks have been guilty Of
" base perfdy and treache,y to The Govern
ment, deserving ofno .faror from the Gops,n-
mrnt, or the people," and that they had "rob-
bedhe Treasury Of many millions ofmoney; =
were these not intended for the purpose Of
exciting the prejudices Of the people against
the banks,o but mere expressions oflriendship
towards them So also the special reports,
made during the last session Of Congress, by
the Secretary Of the Treasury, on which were
founded the lallacious allegations, sent forth by
nearly h .lf score of Senators in their speech
es, that the Government had lost fifteen mil
lions dollars through its connexion with State
banks. In these reports there was " no war
upon the banks" according to the Globe
now!
The Government, it is now said, twill at
all times be disposed to extend such legal ac-
commodatons to the banks, and to commerce,
as may be in its power" How can this be
done according to the doctrine Of the present
Executive ! In his message at the extra ses-
sion of 1887, be denied all right to exercise
any such powers. He said, elf | refrain
; from suggesting to Congress any specific plan
for regulating the exchanges of the country,
relieving mercantile embarrassments, or inter-
ferng with the ordinary operations Of foreign
and domestic commerce, it is from conviction
that such measures are not within the consti-
,utional province of the General Government"
This was not all The President then held
y the doctrine that "the less Government in
terferes with private pursuits the better for the
general prosperity" With such principles
then, what are the professions of the official
worth now, of the Government extending
such legal Accommodations to the banks and to
commerce as may be in its poper'3 Is this "a
sober second thought" that is pronounced to
be "never wrong" or is it temporary
thought or device to operate on the New
York election?
