A CANADIAN YrEw.-The Toronto
Globe, which naturally secs tho Mason
and Slidell affair through British specta-
cles, and which at first strongly con.
demned the action of oui government,
but subsequently thought less harshly
of it. comments as follows upon recent
article from tho London Times:
"The Times sometimes commits gross
errors, but we may be sure that on a
question like this, its conductors made
sure that they were right They had
ample opportunity for enquiry and con
sideration, the question involved having
been raised before the seizure was
known. The verdict of the leading
Journal is much like that pronounced 10y
intelligent and impartial men here. The
seizure is held to be of doubtful legality,
and likely to lead to bad feeling between
the countries involved, but it is admitted
that there are precedents in British
practice which tell in favor of the cap
ture, and the case is treated as one for
cain consideration. Coming from a
journal which has been strongly adverse
20 the Northern States on all questions
which have lately arisen, the Times arti-
Gle, if the telegraph parsphrasss il cor
rectly, is extremely favorable to peace.
able solution of the question"

The Washington Lntelligenesr says
1--WE are glad to learn that the .ucs
ton of an exchange of prisoners. pow
seems in fair way of being settled ad-
vaOtageously to the military service, and
in way which vii! bring satisfaction to
many among our captive soldiers who
have been too long languishing in Con.
federate prisons. roo
"We are glad that a committee of
gentlemen from New York, consisting
of Messrs. 0. German, Daily, Savage
and Collector Barney, have had several
interesting interviews with the Presi-
dent, Gen. Mcclellan, and Senators and
Members of the House, all Of whom
favor regular exchange Of prisoners
The committees interview With General
Mcclellan, it is said, was especially graf
flying. He spoke of the subject briefly
but warmly, and from his conversation
had evidently given the topic out with
great clearness. The military committee
in both Houses has reported fayorably
on the matter, and joint resolution,
which has passed the House, requesting
the President TO make an exchanges, will
doubtless soon be adopted in the Sen.
ate. In point Of fact an exchange has
been practically going on already, thirty
prisoners having been sent from here a
few days ago to Fortress Monroe, whle
large numbers have been likely released

OuR Present ARMy.--In letter sd-
dressed by Col. Pisani, one Of the aides
de-camp of Prince Napoleon who accom-
panied his Imperial llighncss during his
late tour in North America, to Col. de
Franconiere, chief of the staff to the
Prince, we find the following reference
TO the formation and constituents Of the
present army of the United States:
at is evident that the United States
have found it necessary to form, or to at
tempt to form, an army Of the same
strength as the French army, of an anal
ogous composition, and to compose all the
elements, material as well as moral, in the
space of few weeks. In order to take
into account the magnitude Of such an effort,
and not 10 prgadge the results, we must rec
ollect that 10 accomplish sach a cork ,ce haze
had serenity years. Our present military
organization, the envy aud admiration Of
Europe, ,oas the product Of an uninterrupted
tradition Of immense erpense, Of habits M
grajted on oar manners, faWs, and goron-
p,snt--in fact, of a series of experiments
which date at least from the French Rev.
olution." ss-l7"

Tho foreign news il certainly not en-
couraging. The tone ef tho British
press is, with but few exceptions, bsllig
erent in the extreme, and the popular
feeling is evidently in the same dirsc.
ton, in regard to the Mason and Slidcll
affair. In the meantime the Govern,
ment is dispatching large numbers of
troops and immense quantities of mill
tary stores To Canada, while she il also
sending some of her heaviest armed
vessels to our coasts, where she already
has navy of nearly a thousand guns
II is a fact which cannot be disputed,
that the probabilities of war with
England have mover been as great at any
period since 1912, as at this time. In
Missouri, the Felcral forces have achiev-
ed brilliant victory, capturing soIne
thirteen hundred prisoners, among whom
were three Coloncls and seventeen
Captains. In Kentucky, and on the
Potomac, also, succcss has been on our
side in several engagements of minor
importance. -
