10 observe, from the fair and impartial tone
Of all the respectable portion of the press
Of the United States, that The attempt to cx-
cite a feeling of sympathy in behalf of the
Canada rebels, has completely failed. That
this honorable feeling should have univer-
sally prevailed amongst all the inhabitants
OF the States was not, however, TO be ex.
pected; and to prevent the Inconvenience
that must result from the violation of
strict neutrality, representations were made
upon the subject to the American Govern.
ment. The pronptiiude and the candid
spirit in which they were met, reflect the
highest credit upon the executive of the u
nited States. We have no doubt that the
precautions which have been already taken
will secure the loyal inhabitants Of Canada
from any Inconvenience that might have
been anticipated from the interference of a.
ny portion of the inhabitants Of the United
