In the House OF Commons on the 18th the

Mr.. Fitzgerald called attention to Col. jar
Wis report on the canadian detences. He dis
claimed any intention to attribute to the Fed
erals or to the people generallyin spite of hos
tility towards England. We should not dis
regard certain proposal made during the re-
cent conference between the Federals and the
Confederates. 1t was important 10 look to Il Q
Canadian defences in the event of war. and
we ought TO come to an Immediate under
standing with the Canadas to the proportion
England should bear of the cost of its means
Of defence. ttw

ties was unreasonable and utterly groundless,
and protested against any expense for the de-
fence of Canada.

relations with America continued perfectly
friendly. but the government was prepared to
defend Canada.

the event of Canada becoming battle ground
would be to concentrate a force upon some
other point We had better let Canada know
the truth and not bury her up with false ex-
reetation which we provoked America with
standing menace. The Wisest course would
be to withhold all troops at once.

should declare England part of the United
Empire aud defend it. ~ Ah
Mr.. Bright said the root of these misunder-
standings was the feeling of jealousy enter
tanned il England towards the American ma
ton. Every one knows England would not
7 hold Canada In case of war. What would
England have said il she had suffered as the
Americans have from the Alabama.
Lord Pamerston denied that England was
jealous, and believed there was good feeling
toward England among the great bulk Of
Americans. No doubt both North and South
have some feeling for our espousal OF their
cause. But this was no reason why we should
not place Canada in state Of defence. He
would not agree with some that it was not the
intention OF the government to follow his ad-
vice. The relations between England and
America were perfectly friendly.
