DISARMAMENT OF CANADA.

England is withdrawing her last 1edcoat
from Canada, aud within the past fortnight
has formally surrendered to tho Canadian
Minister of Militia and his various deputies
all beg bnrzacka, forts, and ea1thworks ut
Maiden, London. Niagara, Toronto, Kings
Ton, Isle aux foi1, Prescott, St. Johns,
Montreal, Ottawa. Halifax, Frederickton, DC.
Upon careful computation made BIZ Eng
iish officers, year or SO ago, il was decided
that Canada was utterly defeuceless by my
force short Of 10000 men aud IN enor-
nous expenditure for fo1ti6catious. Even
then it was concluded that if it should ever
become necessary for England to defeud
Canada against the United States, she could
only do it by holding fast to Quebec and
halifax, and .speggiog away" with her navy
at our heaports in m offensive wnr. Cauada
itself could be taken ut any time ty mod
erate American force in ninety days. In
view Of these facts, the 1i,0O0 regulars
whom England has heretofore maintained
in Canada we're held to be no better thnn
fourteen would be. II the flag alono would
not protect Canada, nothing would.
The Loyal CAnadiAas ARE iuM Of inaignA-
tion at this "cheese- pairing" policy Of
! Nessra- Gladstone and Lowe. They are
especially indignant that Great Britain
should have thought necessary to sell ont
some 900 tons Of guns slot, shell. iron,
md gun carriages, besides gnnpowder,
horses, harness, md camp and basrack
furnitnre,-all at auction, to the highest
