But in no ministry havé law officers of the Crown been found who would advise the Canadian Government to take the necessary procetdings before the Privy Council to test that claim. The Imperial Government kave declined at this time of day to seek to can- cel a patent which had been so long acted upon as valid, and recognized as such, and it has recently more formally recognized the rights of the old Company, and the transfer

Against such tremendous odds Paraguay stands a very poor chance, but being the aggressor, in | wantonly seizing two naval steamers belonging to the Argentine Government while peaceably anchored in the roadstead, her fate might proba- bly excite little sympathy. On the other hand, outside observers generally would take little sa- tisfaction in her humiliation, the predominant feeling being a desire that the belligerents come to terms in some way as speedily as they can. The wars continually waged among the South American republics, to the shame and disgrace of republican institutions everywhere. by which they themselves were jong ago impoverished, their industry paralyzed, and their inhabitants kept in a state of semi-barbarism — these petty contests cease to be of any special interest abroad. Hopes of improvement, through the influence of an ad- vanced civilization, or other humanizing insten- mentalities, are no longer indulged. As the ease now stands between Paraguay and the allies, the war is not likely to be long protracted. The for-

That question, therefore, has been taken out of the category of matter for mere declamatory talk and writing, and the method of its solution de- finitely fixed. The people of Canada can become the owners of a fourth part of the Continent whenever they choose to buy out the fur traders who have now certain pro- prietary rights in it. Whether they will think it worth the price, or when they will be able or willing to pay it, remains to be

The entire land forces are estimated at 60,000, besides which’are twenty- one steamers, including the “25 de Mayo” and “ Gualeguay,” recently captured. Opposed to these, the allies have a disposable force of 75,- 000 men, according to the Buenos Ayres Stan- dard, comprising 15,000 Brazilians in Montevideo, 15,000 of the army of the Xio Grande and neigh- boring provinces, 10,000 troops dizposable at Rio Janeiro, 5000 Orientals under Gen.
