The soldier was mistaken, but did not require
any demonstration Of the fact, and I mention
the circumstance only for the purpose of points
ing out the great increase of British subjects
which has suddenly taken place here. The
Legation is overwhelmed with them, and this
war would give Queen Victoria or restore to
her many thousands of devoted subjects if
they were only encouraged in their affection
ate efforts to return to the fold. There is also
large accession to the number of Canadians
in the world. The United States could, never
theless get up an army of million of foreign
subjects who are now naturalIzed here, and
could fight its battles with enormous hosts Of
French, English, Scotch, Germans, Italians
Irish, Swedes, Norwegians, and Dutch. When
l see some of the strong fellows who use our
speech, and think of the difficulties of our re-
cruiting in the Crimean war, / cannot but re-
greet the causes, whatever they may be, which
