THE DURATION OF THE WAE.-In regard
to the duration of the War in Europe, Mr..
Walsh, the intelligent correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce, says:
"In returning from walk just now, | en-
countcrcd near the Palais Royal II Senator of
my acquaintancc-an Admiral, experienced
in State concerns. expressed to him my
hope that the war would not endure beyond
six months. In London the Ministers called
it short and sharp. and the President of the
French Legislative Body, in his address Of
last week trusted that il would be vigorous,
rapid and decisive. The Senator answered:
"No one of my colleagues or the members of
the Government really expects that it will
end in six months, or can imagine when it
will end. According to tho declarations of
the British Cabinet, the struggle with Russia
was once far all. That was the idea of the
French Emperor, and the preparations on
both sides Of the channel were proporiionate.
Russia had strength, pride, and pcrsistency
enough for u protractcd dauntless resistance;
the Car had been potent IS u conservative;
he could DC equally or more so rs Il dcstr nc.

he had shaken the pillars the house fell upon

pertinent letter Of Kossutll, in relation to the
rejection of Geo. Sanders, thus:
The Sublime Of ASsuraacc.--lt is as diff

Extreme, however, rs is the assurance which

gant-wc had almost said the revolving
homage lavishcd on him during the triumph

and Middle States, an extravaganza of which
we could not suppress our disapproval at the
time, was enough 70 turn a stronger head

legitimate fruits. We have no doubt that

ANNEXATION or CANADA.

The Washington correspondent Of the Bal
,imore Sun, writing under date Of the Sd,
says:
The leading feature Of the day in the House
was resolution Offered by Mr. Campbell, oi
ONO, to inquire into the cXpeIicncy Of open
inU negotiations with the Government OF
Great Britain and ireland for the peaceful an
neyation of Canada, and the rest OF the Brit
| ish Provinces in North America. Here is Il
most glorious chance for Young America to
distinguish itself in the cause Of Republican
Freedom. With The exception Of the habi.
mnts of Lower Canada the rest of the inhab-
tants of those provinces are "bonc of our
bone and flesh of our flesh, and the process Of
assimilation would be easy and natural
If the British provinces were to be added
to the United States we would command the
fisheries of the world and possess the only
true school for sailors now on the globe
We would own the timber for ship building
from vessels of the largest drauglt to the
most stately scvcnty.lour's, rear 4 maritime
population which would defend our coast in
times of war, and add industry, power and
security to our position MS Il world power
Bounded by the Polar Sea- of the North, aud
placed between the two great oceans OF the
globe, our geographical position would pre-
sent 50 few points Of attack and be so rapid
" defended by our citizen soldiers, that We
might defy the combined powers Of the
world.
As to Great Britain, more than one British
statesman Of distinction has alrcad y contcm-
plated the cession of the American colonies
to the United States, rs an act Of wisdom,
economy and sound policy. In Il pccuniary
point of view, these colonies are Il charge up
on the British treasury, and no addition to
her real power The Canadian timber mo.
nopoly acts injuriously on the British ship
builder, and excludes Swedish timber from
the ports of Great Britain, against which
heavy shipments of manufacture might be
made to Stockholm and Gottcnburg.
In her present position, the friendship and
cordial cooperation of the Scandinavian
powers is Of more consequence to Grcat Brl-
tain than an indefinite cXpansc Of territory in
North America, pcoped by Il FESTIVE and IN
reliable people, which the first war with the
United States is sure to annex to the Union.
Let Yankee cntcrpris" 60 to Canada, and
England will have opened one of the richest
sources of trade to her sui jccts, while our

would receive Il new jib and stay-sail, which
would add at least knott or 50 to her speed
through the water. Let Gov. Marcy and Mr..
Buchanan put tEeir heads together, and see
what they can do. The British Government
is reasonable, and is always willing to sell

PEoTECTIoN OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.
Ion, the Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, writes -
The magniiiccncc Of the warliko prepare
tons of England and France arrest the admit
ration of the world. Or greater interest to
us will be their policy in regard to ncutrals,
in the course Of the coming convuIsion.-
Already we are warned Of the necessity of
putting on our armor, being threatened with
the same "war in disguise" on the part of
the bclligcrents, that we SO tamcy endured
in the early part of the present century,
''Ordcrs in Council" and not "Bcrin and
Milan, but foreign office "dccrccs," will no
doubt subject every American vessel to search
or plumber.
II is indiscrcct, on the part of British
statesmen, to commence Il war of principles
and empire, with revival Of the old system
of robbery and larceny on the high seas. 1t
will, no doubt, be the effort, as il is the duty,
of our Government, to ascertain, at once,
whether the declaration that Russian produce
found in neutral vessels shall be subject TO
capture, will apply to American vessels or
not! OF course the reply will be in the
affirmative, for we are the only important
commercial neutral, and, therefore, we must
have II supplemental steam lrgute bill--and
prepare to defend our commerce us well as
we can.
