II may" The exemption OF England from for
eign invasion must henceforth depend mainly on
her caPability of meeting from the shore upon
il any armed force which may be sent against her.
England does need bulwarks now--such bulwarks
as are not to be found, except at intervals along
her coast; and she must get them, too, with the
heaviest ordnance mounted thereon, if she desire
to keep her soil uncontaminated.' The Martello
towers scattered along the coast of Kent and Sussex
are regarded as a very inadequate defence and so
also is considered every thing OF protective kind
at present to be found the eastern coast OF Eng
land. The author recommends the fertilization OF
the Goodwin Sands, and says that they may be
made perfect buwark against molestation from
the shores of Picardy. We have not room for a
description Of the mode by which this is to be ac-
complished, which appears practicable, but would
be enormously expensive. He says, however, that
the effective force of the army must be largely in
creased;" that the militia should be called out to
" abide under their standards for six months at the
least and that g more decided encouragement
ought 10 be given to the corps of Yeomanry Caval-
ry." The rifle is recommended as most effective
weapon in the hands of troops of this description
to be used from the saddle. The artillery depart
ient of the army, it is said, should be increased
A revision of the militia laws is recommended.
"The Navy" continues this writer, I" must ever be
England's right arm, and we do not believe that it
was ever in better order than now. Nevertheless,
our gallant tars cannot but perceive that there are
things which even British seaman cannot do !;
and that one Of them is to hinder steam, whether
for us or against us, from operating great change
in the whole system of warfare"

Our peace is to pay for the Presidents indiscrs
! ton our fortunes are to be wrecked that he MAY
be consistent on the Subtreasury our Workshop
and looms are to be overturned that the Append,
to the Baltimore Convention may be gori6ed
But this especially we say, and say IT solemnly
BY an extra-ofical dictum, pronounced possibly ii
mere inadvertence, the Executive at once disabled
himself and went far 10 disable Great Britain, from
taking proper course in this negotiation, and con
Quoting it in due spirit We protest against hay
ing the mighty interests OF peoples peace trifec
WITH as has been done by both Sides the President
setting the example, and Sir RoBERT PEEL fol-
lowing it. The mercy of the common law dis
qualities, in a case of life or death TO the lowest
up or uttered an opinion before he is empannelled
and it is monstrous that here, where the lives OF
thousands of unoffending people are at stake, a
President and a Premier should be allowed to enter
into negotiation, pledged, by every principle of
vanity or popularity before they know what can
be done or ought to be done TO yield nothing.
There is, however, yet another general aspect in
which we are bound to consider these main recon-
mendatons, as body of measures-as system,
whether meant for such or not.
A British Ministry has no more jure diuino about
it than President-nay, probably has greater, not
less, need to consult the popular passions on sub
jects where they listen but little to reason. The
Executive should see that the English Govern
nent is as little like to give way on this ques-
ton as he that therefore, serious possibilities Of
war are involved in his refusal to compromise or
arbtrate' and that these are strengthened if what
he proposes to Congress be done. WAR, then, is
quite possible part of the political programme
which he offers. And how does he propose TO
make us ready for it! By filling our Golfers : By
