Annexation of Canada.

GEN. ScoTr's LETTER.-The following let
ter from Gen. Scott, in relation to the annexa-
ton of Canada, appears in the Philadelphia Dat
iy News, though it does not appear 10 whom
written. Its trankness is Characteristic, and the
opinions which i. lninates will! doubtless at
tract much remark at home aud abroad.
WEST POINT, June go, ls49.
My Dear Sir-The news from the Parliament
OF Great Britain, this morning. must, | think, in
crease the discomfort of our nelghbors on the
other side of the ST. Lawrence and the Lakes
not little; and that those discontents will in q
few years, lead TO II separation of the Canadas,
New Brunswick, &c. &C., from the mother coun-
try, seems equally probable.
VIII those Provinces form themselves into an
independent nation, or seek a connection with our
Union | think the probability is greatly in ia
vor Of the latter, In my judgment the interests
OF both sides would be much promoted by annex
ation-the several Provinces coming into the
Union on equal terms with our present thirty
States. The free navigation of the St. Law
renee is already OF Immense importance TO per-
hnps third ot our present population, ana would
be OF great value to the remainder. After an
neXatlon, two revenue cutters below Quebec
would give us u better security against SNUG

Possessions on our Continent. | am well uc

The fourth annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers holden here on Wednesday last, was alto
gether the largest meeting Of this corporation,
and probably o? any other assembled
Thrce.fourths OF the stock was represented,
though the number of votes cast was but ii ZOO
n fact due to the circumstance that there was
no formal opposition TO the Board Of Directors
elected. The number Of people present from
abroad was very far beyond the expectations OF
any body concerned either here or in the man
agement of the road and this has been The &C.
casiop, in some degree, Of mutual compliant;
complaint on the part of our own people, 'ha'
they were not opprized of the demand TO be
made upon them,--and complaint on the part OF
some from abroad, that ample preparations were
moi made for their accommodation. The simple
truth is, that the extent Of the draft TO be made
upon us was not seasonably known, either in
Boston or here not TO exceed four hundred peo-
pie we're expected and when from one to two
thousand poured suddenly in upon us, the hotel
keepers and citizens of Montpelier were certain
" taken by surprise. But they never retreat OH

after a fashion it was taken; and having since
had occasion to meet with many Of the strangers
who were present. we are happy to say, that the
mass justly appreciated the difficulties OF the
case, and formed a good opinion of the hospl-
tally of the citizens of Montpelier.
1t will be observed that the Board of Direct
ors has been materially changed: we are able
to say, however, that the change sprung from an
arrangement, said to be mutual with all the in
,eiests concerned, and not from any dissatisfac
ton with either of the retiring Directors. They
all retain the confidence of the Company, anc
were honored with a unanimous vote OF thanks.
The time for subscribing 10 new stock at $50
per share was extended TO the lst of August.
