LONDON Nov. II, 1860
The sensation this week here has been the pubhca-
ton of Mr.. Stewards dispatch to Sir Frederick Bruce
,On the subject of the two wretched men, Lynch and
Mcmahon, who are lying under sentence Of death at
Toronto, regret to say that the impression 1t has
made in England is one which oil friends to both
countries must deeply regret 1t is regarded as dis
tinct threat, and threat conveyed in an insulting
and sDobbish FORM TO the political ends OF the
writer and pander 10 the bOmbastic instincts Of your
mob. A moderate and Liberal paper such as The
Pail Mall Gazette, interprets it thus: 1--WE will enjoy
che pleasure OF debating to you and giving you orders
till it suits our convenience TO take possession Of your
idominions. You only tenants sufierance, and
we will make you feel it," This is their rendering Of
the Dispatch and own / agree with it. When
Secretary Of State permits himself TO write, Good re-
lations are always difficult aud delicate in States that
are adjacent 70 each other without being separated by
impossible boundaries" having regard TO the crcum
stances Of the case in Canada one can only conclude
that he means bullying. We all know as well as you,
that the whole of our North American possessions on
The main land may DO oyerrun at any time long be-
fore we could throw any force into the country which
could make head against your armies. We are also
senstvey alive TO the fact that the time Of the year
has Just arrived when it is virtually impossible for
ms to do anything for Canada however pressing the
need may be, and under these conditions we ap-
preciate highly the taste of your secretays dispatch
am very sorry for it, own. Notwithstanding much
that has seemed to me petty, and unworthy Of man
called to the front Of free nation in such crisis as
yours, 1 have always tried to keep ny the respect
which acquired for Mr.. Seward when reading the
debates Kansas questions years ago. Ths dastardly
AttemJt on his life, associated as it was with the
martyrdom Of your grand old President revived those
carly feelings strongly, and Il is with considerable re-
greet tina. / am obliged TO throw them overheard. If
his dispatch means nothing for this side, and IS
intended for home consumption. and bid for the
Irish vote II might have been done at any rate in far
better taste,
With respect TO the merits Of the question we are all
agreed far Judge, in this desire that every
these prisOners. Our people revolt as yours would
do against the execution Of priest, and If Mcmahon
ran make out shadow Of a case such as that set up
for him. that he was in Canada on his own business,
and only called in by the flbusters 10 do the duties
Of his Office 10 wounded and dying men, he should be
psrdoned freely In like manner, If Lynch can ad-
duce any proof that he was not a belligerent, but
q spectator, sent by his employers TO report
the fortunes Of the invasion, though the case Is
far weaker than that Of MeMehOn, no Englishma1
would wish the sentence Of death 10 be carried out
