The London Times has an editorial 90 the
sending of troops TO Canada. 1t says that it
is ono Of those steps that it is difficult TO
pronounce an opinion upon, as the facts of
the Case are unknown. and Government may
! have excellent reasons which are unknown
/
TO the public
| Looking, however, a, the state of affairs,
| both in america and Canada. SO Ear as they
are publicly known, the Times sees no COED
reason for the movement, aud regrets that
the step has been taken. 1t thinks there is
little reason for npprehending on attack by
the United States upon Canada, and fears
that in her present state of mind America
is more likely to regard the movement as t
challenge than as a precaution.
The London Post says that the troops for
Canada were demanded by Sir Fenwck
Williams, the Commanuer-in. Chief, as a
measure of precauton. The movement is
neither a menace to the people OF the United
States, nor an insult to the people Of Canada
but is an ordinary matter Of routine, which
would almost have escaped observation but
for the very proper charter OF the "Grea'
Eastern.

AFFAIRS.

tory may rest the battle is likely to be a hare
one, and though the uaiu effort of the Wash
, ington government may be postponed till tn
, close o the year, ii is probable that muc
blood will be shed within the limits of the oil
State which is now to be the battle field c
democratic civil war" In the same Articl
there appears the following
5 "The energy the Free States have dis
a played. the great number of men they hav
/ raised, aud the good material of which the
r army is composed, are beyond sll praise.
is easy TO see that greet deal of the
i:rtability towards England arises from
