L0ndon, Dee. ls, erening-Another commercial
Exchequer-bill for COO bearing Ohe same as that
adverted TO Yesterday the rate Of interest reduced
10 It'd per diem, was offered for sale AT the Stock
Exchange this morning, but the purchase was de-
clined unless at a considerable discount. Ii was
then offered at the Bank of England, and on some
plea or other as is understood refused there also
would appear, therefore, that if error has been
committed al the Treasury in regard 10 the issue of
such bills, it is rather an extensive one, while The
conclusion would be, on the other hand, that Mr.
Spring Rice's experiment has failed if he intended
to make one on the strength of the market. Such
bills il is clear cannot be permitted TO find their
way into The general circulation.
Inc following extract is from a Liverpool paper
Of Monday :" Al halfpast o'clock "a prisoners,
implicated in the first rebellion in Capada, were
landed at Egremont in Cheshire opposite the north
west side OF Liverpool, at the entrance Of the Mer-
sey; ii were in irons among whom was Parker of
whom We have heard so much in former outbreaks.
About o'clock they were landed in Liverpool, and
conveyed in the prison van TO the borough goal ac-
companied BY the well-armed officers. Captain
Ross is the name of the commander of the vessel
which brought the prisoners over, accompanied by
Canadian officers OF state"
London Dec. 2O.-But why should the United
States go to war with England This is asked in fol-
lowing up the questions relative 10 France and Rus
STA, which formed the subject of consideration in the
Mail of Tuesday. Why should the United States
provoke war with England7
We never said, we never were SO absurd as even TO
dream that the United States would engage in hos
Utilities with this country SO long as remain at
peace with the rest of the world. But this we do
say, and believe, thatif unfortunately war should
break out between England and Russia, or England
and France, the Government Of Washington, and
the citizens OF the star spanged banner and of the
red stripes, emblem of the slaves lash, would in
sanlly join The beigerents agains us
Why3 Because the people of New England and
the Northern States have made up their minds TO
seize upon Canada at the first favorable uncture.-
There is no denying it-they are bent upon this
quest cost what it may. II is true they will con-
trve TO obtain il in the cheapest and easiest way-
They will sarve week to save sixpence in the pur-
chase; and when the stock of gunpowder and of
arms, and the amount OF military and naval force
are unequal TO the demand in this country the Amer
leans will barter what stock they have for our fair
lands and green fields beyond the St Lawrence
