The liberaty Of its tone, coming from southern

to give TO those ports than they entitled but
have never ceased TO hope that may yet them
gain their rights Of exporting and importing directly to
the full extent demanded by the products and wants of
the countries connected with and dependent upon them
Again 1T is but too TO refer every step like

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL.

Some of the journals of the United States con-
found the newly-appointed commander n-chief for
India with his father, who served in the campaigns
of the Spanish peninsula and was, at tho close of
his lifc governor of Ceylon. They might as well
jump back over acentury, and confound him with the
Sir Colin Campbell Of Redgauntlet and the wars of
the Stuarts In that eminent military family there is
always Colin Campbell. The present Sir Colin is
in the prime of life, Of thorough Indian education
and experience having won his first steps under Sir
Charles Napier, the Indus. He commanded a
brigade in the Crmea and in Of the battles imita
ted with success the mannuvre of Col Jefferson Davis
at Buena Vista, receiving charge of cavalry with in
fantry formed not in hollow square but in two lines
spreading from the centre, so as to pour double
flank fire upon the advancing column. Sir Colin
Campbell is accompanied by Sir David Baird, mot
the dead Sir David of the last generation, be it observ-
ed and supersedes Sir Patrick Grant--all of them
Scots bred in the same school of arms.
1t would be curious thing to run the names of
the military men whom England dispatches to the field
in times of peril, and to note how few of them An
glolSaxons, and how many Of them Cets, either
of Ireland or Scotland. 1t might be subject of much
reflection The truth is that the naval greatness Of
England only is Ango-Saxon, while her military
cess has been Celtic or Norman. Sir George Anson
great the Indian newspapers say, at the long odds
and other sporting achievements breaks down in the
field to give place to Sir Colin Campbell,
