company, or drum up business for him, having
no connection whatever with the company itself.
and in no way paid or controlled by it, Tut act

This reverses the ruling Of the department on
this subject hitherto.
commissioner Delano has decided that in all

In the Canada House of Commons on Monday
Hon. Nr. Gait, the former Minister of Finance
made speech in support of his motion relative
to the Fenian raids as giving ground for claim
against the United States by Canada. He added
to his motion request that the correspondents
between Canada and the United States during
the late rebellion, together with all the orders in
Council, be given 10 the House He defended al
great length the course Of England and Canada,
and referred TO the late rejection Of the Alabama
treaty by the American Congress, regretting the
lack Of disposition on the part of the United
States to do away with all i'll feeling on the sub
jet. The course Of Canada. he asserted, had
been one Of friendship, and they had frankly
fulfilled all their duties towards their neighbors.
lie then referred to the course adopted by the
United States relative to the Fenian invasion Of
Canada and said the Fenians entered the Prov
iucs in armed bands by thousands, and not from
any want Of will On their part. but simply want
of power, they failed to deluge the western
peninsula with blood When the invasion was
oyert.rown, and not ill then, did the United
states Government stretch out hand to help
Canada. Were not these claims, helasked, quite
as strong morally as any the United States Gov
eminent could bring against Great Britain Mr..
Gait went on 10 say that if there was any meaning
in the acts Of the United States it was that thew
desired to make the conditions Of Canala difficult

treaty, refused to negotiate for its Continuance.

Judging by the tone Of the press, we're likely TO

the humiliation Of England through her depend

the plan would succeed. England could not for
moment give way, and the people Of Canada
would sustain her TO man, having repudiatei
