CANADA.

The following letter from General SCoTT,
which we find in the Daily Wing of Sara
toga Springs, we publish as a part of the
history of the times.
The remark of the General with regard
to our frontier, and the security against
smuggling, tallies strongly enough with
the observation of Lord BRoUGHAM, in the
House of Lords, on the 10Th ult. His
lordship took the ground that the Canada
frontier was indispensable TO Great Bri-
tain, in order to enable her to enjoy the
full advantages of her smuggling trade.
His argument, in few words, was-no from
tier, no smuggling; no frontier, no protec-
ton. An American tariff is an absurdity
as long as we have Canadian frontier of
fifteen hundred miles. Therefore, it was to
perpetuate the facilities of smuggling that
his lordship conjured his brother peers to do
all they could to knit to them the afec-
tons of their fellow subjects in Canada.
WEST PoNT, June %, l949.
Ny DEAR SIR: The news from the Parliament of
Great Britain this morning must, think increase
the discomfort of our neghbors on the other side Of
the st. Lawrence and the Lakes not little; and
that those discontents WILL in a few years, lead to
separation Of the Canadas, New Brunswick &c.
&c, from the mother country seems equally prob
able.
Will those Provinces form themselves into an
independent nation, or seek connexion with our
Unioni think the probability is greatly in favor
Of the latter. In my judgment, the interests Of
both sides would be much promoted by annexa-
tion-the several provinces coming into the Union
on equal terms with our present thirty States The
free navigation Of the St. Lawrence is already Of
immense importance TO perhaps third Of our pre-
sent population, and would be Of great value to the
remainder. After annexation two revenue cutters,
below Quebec, would give a better security
against smuggling than 10000 custom-house en-
pioyees strung along the line that separates from
the British Possessions on our continent ! am
well acquainted with that line and know a great
deal Of the interests and character Of the Provn-
Gals. Though opposed TO Incorporating with usany
district densely peopled with the Mexican race, !
should be most happy TO fraternize with our north
ern and northeastern neighbors
What may be the views Of our Executive Gov
eminent the subject, | know absolutely no.
thing Out MINK cannot err IN saying that Two
thirds Of our people would rejoice at the incorpora-
ton, and the other third perceive its benefits.
OF course, am opposed to any undermined
measures, on our part in favor Of the measure, or
any other act Of bad faith towards Great Britain.
| Her good WILL in my view OF the matter, is only
second to that Of the Provincials themselves, and
that the former would soon follow the latter--con-
slderng the present temper and condition Of Christ
endom-cannot be doubted.
The forepono yieua have long been m he habit
of expressing in conversation; give them to you
for what they may be worth
Faithfully yours,

WASHINGTON:
TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 10. ls4s.
THE PRESIDENTS Projected VISIT
TO THE NORTH.

In reply to the many communications
addressed to the President touching his
expected northern tour, including invita-
tons and inquiries as to the time and route
of his journey, and too numerous to admit
of a specific answer to each, we are re-
ouested to state that the exact time of his
departure, and the route which he may
find it expedie.t to take, are necessarily
unsettled and, indeed, that continued
prevalence of the cholera may render it
proper to abandon the journey altogether.
His thanks are due to those corporate
bodies and individuals who have, in anti
cipation of this journey, invited him to
particular places, and favored him with
the offer of their Inequalities. 1t will
afford him pleasure to accept such invita-
tons, as far as the demands upon his time
and other circumstances may permit.

Mining operations Of spain.

An article in La Cronica, of New York, gives
some valuable statistics of the silver mines of the
Spanish peninsula. The development of their re-
sources is stated to be rapidly increasing, and the
production to exceed what seemed possible but

especially increased in value At one of the works
that known as Santa Cecilia-rich layers (bancos)
and veins (slon<s) have been discovered the value

Proclamations for fasting, humiliation and prayer
are among the most time -honored observsnces Of
our country. During the Revolution, Congress,
proclaimed eight fasis and eight days Of thanks
giving. In 1919, Mr.. Madison proclaimed fas,
on the commencement Of the war, in obcdienc. 10
joint resolution Of the Senate and House Of Rep
resen'atves; and in 1910, on the death OF General
Harrison, another was proclaimed by Mr.. Tyler.
The proclamation seems to mce, with general APP
probation, and there is every probability that il
will be rigidly observed.

THE BRITISH MINISTRY AND CANADA.


The principal position upon which the London
Times bases the determination of the ministry to
support the Canadian Viceroy in the ground he has
taken in favor of the Provincial act granting remu-
neraton for losses during the instruction OF 1885,
Isl that all losses in the public service should be
paid for by the Government, and that the Canadian
bill contemplates nothing more. The position OF
Mr.. Gladstone was, that one class should be con-
sdered as exceptions from the action Of the bill,
viz those who had been tried and convicted OF treason
or felony by civil or military court. LISA funda-
mental maxim of the English Government, that as
soon act is passed. and has received the royal
assent, becomes the property Of the judges, who
alone can determine its operation. The courts then
decide who should be compensated, and they alone
are competent to do so. The idea of Mr.. Glad
stone involved scheme, to render il incumbent on
every one claiming under the bill to prone himself
free of the faint of rebslor, and sought thus 70 revive
the criminal prosecutions of 1897 and 1888. Mr..
Gladstone is the exponent of the views of the ultra
Tory Canadian party, which, Papneau's paper
states, Sin its blind devotion out-tories the Torysm
of England" This seems to be the true state Of
the Canadian troubles and of the pretensions of the
two cliques. How entirely things are changed from
1888 will be apparent, by recollection of the simple
fact that the Canadians who then were the rebels
are now the only supporters Of the Queen and her
viceroy; and the party of Sir Allan McNab, which
then uttered the most terrible threats against the
United States, scarcely conceals that it is anxious
for anne xation. An article in of the most in
| fuental Montreal papers has unfolded to the gaze
of the Canadians immense list of benefits likely
| TO accrue to the province, in case of annexation,
not the least of which is the hope that the St. Law
renee would become the outlet of all the Lake coun-
try both sides of the present line that the wharves
and quays would be lined with American ships;
and mysterious paragraph hints at immense ute
rior advantages, which may be thought naturally
enough to refer to route to the Pacific, and share

and comfort to the enemy" Who could,
then, have supposed that the Union itself
would so soon be found "giving aid and
comfort" TO despotic government of Eu-
rope, and arraying itself against its own,
on matter in which the present Admin
istration is but enforcing law of our own
country, as well as the equitable law of
nationsl By reading the articles in the
Union, and no other, upon the subject,
one would be led to believe, not knowing
the strong and controlling prejudice which
guides the editors pen, that the present
Administration had committed a gross act
OF injustice upon foreign power, in ar
resting the progress Of the war-steamer
United States, which was fitting out at
our navy yard in New York, and prohib-
ting her from leaving our waters until a
bond should be given, according 10 lar,
conditioned that she should not be used in
a belligerent manner against any nation
with whom we are on terms of amity and
peace.
We must canddly admit that, in thus
taking sides with foreign government
against our own, the editors of the Union
show a spirit and zeal worthy better
cause. If the aid and comfort" they
have endeavored TO render the King of
| Prussia in this affair has not been efectual,
it is not from any lack of disposition to
give such aid, but simply from the fact
that their cause is intrinsically bad. The
editors of the Union have, in their dis
cussions Of this subject, invariably thrown
out the idea that the war steamer which
was being fitted out, by permission of the
late Administration, and under the direc-
ton Of Baron Roenne, and which was an
tented to be used against Denmark, was to
| aid the liberal movement in the German
empire. So far from this, it was foreseen
by the present Administration, and might
have been by the last, that in case this
war steamer were permitted to leave our
waters, she would fall into the hands of
the King Of Prussia, and would be used
! by him to PIT DOM the liberal movement
