IMPORTANT FROM CAHADA.-1hc news which
we received from Canada, by yesterdays mail, is
very important 1t will be found in another part
Of to-day's paper, under appropriate head. II
contains the answer Of the British ministry to the
numerous petitions which Sir Allan hcNab pre-
scented, praying for the disallowancc of the rebel
lion indemnity ball. the recall Of Lord El.an, and
the dissolution of the Canadian parliament. The
answer to those petitions, numerously signed a.
they were, is any thing but satisfactory TO the Br-
fish party. II is a direct and positive refusal,
souched in direct and positive terms.
The answer was published on an suspicious day
in Canada, on the fourth Of July the day on which
the celebrated Declaration of Independence, which
severed the connection between England and the
old thirteen colonies, published, and on its last
anniversary, we are informed, the stars and stripes
were hoisted without moesiation IN Montreal
The answer, then, being of thi. character, the
question is, what will the British party in Canada
do nextl They have played their last card, and
they see nothing before the m but continuance Of
French domination, as they call IL. Their OPP
ponents have the game in their own hands
will the Brtons resort 20 extreme measures !
From the tone Of the articles extracted from
the Montreal papers, their own organs, we think
they will-but whenl is The Orange celebration
at Coburg, on the twelfth instant, only an excuse
to get together the disafected Britons, az
TO give them an opportunity TO rise and reyolu-
uonize the government ! OR, will they wait
,ll the twelfth OF August, the day officially APP
pointed for the meeting of Parliament in Mont
reall or will these Orangemen remain in session.
organizing themselves, and on the twelfth,
make a descent on the lower province These
questions we cannot answer, but If the British
party have meant any thing, in all they have said,
or intended carry out their threats OF revolution.
now is the time for them to carry them into effect.
We shall soon know what their intentions We
shall coon ascertain whether they will "toe the
mark" by regulating government some three
thousand miles distant from them, and taking the
management Of their own affairs into their own
hands The ice is broken in Canada and we shall
watch The progress Of events there with much in
tersei.

CHINA AND ENGLAND.-If the news received by
the steamship Canada Is true, We do not see how
a collision between the Chinese and the English
can be avoided. According to the treaty of peace
entered into between those nations, the Ch,Rese
were, after certain defined period, to throw open
the city of CantcD to foreigners. That period has
expired, and Notwithstanding the stipulation in this
respect, the Chinese authorities, it is SAID refuse
to abide by it. The great object of the war with
China, on the part of the British was to compel the
Chinese to throw open their country to the trade
of the world and when the treaty was made, this
stipulation was inserted. 1t is not likely, there
fore, that the English will submit to its infracton
If the Chinese persist in their determination, force
must be used to compel them to act as they agreed
to do. And England will apply it, without doubt
for, although she cannot take part in war in
Europe, she will have no hesitation in again bonn
harding the cities of China, which are incapable OF
making q vigorous resistance.
