be lbOO Of the ohstcs trssps Of the British army IN
Caneds-to say nothing Of four more regiments or
derei 70 our Maine frontier-and three more 10 the
West Indies. This display Of force is certainly not Tor
the purpose of putting down the poor French cana
dians-poor devils-thsy are loS enough noss Hea-
ven knows Ysu may rey upon il the nower OF the
British armyis sent cut for very snerend oolec.-
England is al peace with all the werld.-Why then
is the whole kingdom alive with recruiting parties !
% Enss loud
lavish in abuse OF America and our institutions Look
oEt for sqaaus What is our government about-are
they asleep? can tell them il IS now the time to
be "up and doing" Our members ef Congress are
continually wasting their time preaching about eco
nomy--to the devil with economy when our country
10 in danger We should have $4,000 Yankee boys
on the Canadian and New Brunswick fronusr-and
cur navy increased ten fold. CHE acsesf thing said
ring expedition should be turned into coast gsard)
Look at the population Of Upper Canada and New
Brunswick-recent events have proved that they
hate "the damn'd Yankees"-as ardently as IN
l776 and in 1912 and IA. Look at Sir Francis
Heads speech a specimen, and see the professions
of loyalty poured in on all sides.-Forsyth is right
and are the first that ought to resist the affront
I'm glad Of the old spirit of rs reklnde-
Nothing delighted me more than 10 read Colonel
Worth's denial of the compliment paid him by that
worthy scioB Sir Francis. Scott is too noble
fellow to act wrong desgnedy. think the parties
are pretty well matehcd-Ms Nab versus Sutherland
and MKenze versus Head-a glorious auartete.
Should foreign soldier put foot on our soil, then
should America rise in its might majestic and drive
the hirelings back. Oh how beautiful my beloved
country contrasts with its mighty lakes rivers noun
tains-ts fertile soil and vast resources with this mi
mature Europe It's pgmy streams and exhausted land
our free and enterprlsng population, with the ao-
Ject and poverty stricken peasantry of Europe am
very sorry to see our beautiful countrywomen patro
MIXING every paltry fellow that calls himself noble
man If they were only here TO see the small fry IN
perfection, their hearts would slcken have no doubt
yeu will think am too warm on this subject, but
when day after day, read nothing but scurrhy
against my country, confess my blood boils have
been in the habit of reading the Tory press, The
Times and Herald"-but read them no more. The
/" Chronicle and Globe are the only journals daily
that write fairly and impartally-but we have host
Of liberal papers on Saturday and Sunday very
well edited they are. l have been by accident or
otherwise, in various company in England, and am
" pretty considerably" aware OF the sentiments
of the British people towards Americans The old
nobility are devllsh good, honest old cocks
that eat, drink, and sleep wel-caring for nothing
plenty ofmoney-damn reform, and content to ole as
they live In total ignorance OF the poverty and wret-
ner they turn They shut up the blinds of their car
rage, and are exclusive" The younger branches
of this thy stock in the true of the word
simple minded fellows" mighty leete brains

hese poor devils If they were asked question about
merica or any other country would answer you BY |
aying-"I refer you To Lord Brougham, or some |
Their schoolmaster" The middle classes are the |
cry worst esenies we have. They ape (when they |
I'm afford IT'D the manners of their masters. These |
flows hate us most cordially. The good sense and |
elllgence Of the country love us, and see their ewn
lfety in our institutions, and would lament war
18th US as final climax TO all their hopes aud ex- |
ectations. Thank God know hundreds Of these |
ersons, and glory in being their acquaintance
he lower orders are too ignorant or brutal, and OF
curse they side with what they can easiest conpre-
end. They are nothing but poor herd Of wretches
void OF educaten-void Of religion morality

hen they can get II. This is true picture OF the
sa state of this country But let me cease this I'M
leasaRt subject, and commence on the bright side OF

xuemely cold. April 20th, il raned hailed showed

What the devil Americans want 10 see Europe Tor !

ave got-our unrivalled country.
With regard TO theatrcals-you are TO have, at the
lark, next season, Madame Vestris and Charles Mat

Il 10 said Mr.. Matthews has married her, but perhaps
al this is ruse for brother Jonathan. Why young
man should marry woman old enough for his moth
Dr. do not know. Power also returns TO America
next season, and perhaps Mrs. Wood.-Tae latter on
her late return from America expected to astenlsh
John Bull by her "AmIna IN the Sonnambula-
bat il was no go"-they had seen Malibran, Grsl."
Celeste will also be in America--She is now the
greatest card in England, having cleared IN forty
nights, fifteen thousand dollars.
vent Garden is to be closed ny Macready the 18th
May. The opera has now Grisi, Persani Lablache,
Tsmburini Rubini, and host Of talent. The Oyn-
pic does very well, but the immense sums paid TO a
few favorites swallow up the receipts. The Adel-
phi s now very badly attended, though they have
Power in the "Groves Of Barney. The ST James,
under Braham, is very miserable fanfare. Ditto the
Coliseum. Ducrow does rot do so well ss formerly
at the Amphtheatre. Drury Lane is paying one
third salaries. The Pavilion Is now managed by
Yates. In Liverpool the average Is not two hun
dred dollars night during the season. In Bath not
fifty dollars Ditto BRISTOL Exeter Birmingham,
very oen, in the latter four ten dollars. Manchester
nearly the same or porsc throughout the
kingdom The low comedsn (aBd very excellent
one) of the Theatre Royal Bath, told me that he
vcr in the course of his life, received more than thlr

much fuller attended and altogether lar more respec
table Dublin and Edinboro' are the best out Of
London, and I csndidy believe Vicksburg or Louis
vile exceed their receipts,
