NEW YORK, Jan. 2-Ibe steamer New
York, from Southampton 2lst, arrived
here at II o'clock this morning
President Lincoln's message was re-
ceived in England on he 18th, per the
Asia
Parliament is expected to reassemble
on February 9th. TE 81,
The Times saws LiueOln's message con-
tains little from which the Federals can
derive encouragement or consolation, and
that the Governments position, militarily
and financially, is rapidly growing worse.
The message effectually destroys peace
expectations. The Times thinks the
North does not possess the power OF con-
fiscating property. The mere threat OF
confiscating gives the South the strongest
nossible motive to resist TO the last eX-
tremity. The report of the stat" of the
Federal finances is even more discour-
aging than the military intelligence, al
though the situation, even as depcted
in the message and accompanying reports
financial and military, renders IT the
most uncomfortable address ever read to
the American IlOuse of Representatives,.
British neutrality has been maintained
50 well that there is only one point III the
message which concerns England dl-
rectly. and that is the resolution toplace
additional force on the great lakes. This
is not to be complained OF. We hope
Canadians will take measures to prevent
Canada being made the basis of incur
sions into a friendly State. III by placing
gnnboats on lakes Ontario and Erie the
enterprises can be impeded, Lincoln will
only be engaged in all object III which
British authorities will be hound to AS
sist him. but we sincerely wish that this
increase of force Is not meant TO be per
manent. We cannot conceive the neCcS-
sity that occasional forays OF a few ad-
venturers should be brought into conucc-
tion with the question of continuing or
modifying the rights of transit from Can
ada through the United States as well as
the regulation of imports which was tenn
porarily established by the reciprocity
treaty of 1854.
