The British troops would have been glad of the opporâ€" tunity of meeting the foo under any cirâ€" cumstances, to finish the business and get out of the climate.. One can imagine the lpfi&,l{.n-mdponinniv,tbym have displayed in cutting their. way through the masses of the gallant ensmy by which, for days they were encompassed. A; length pluck and endurance trlunpbod-z on & thousand former occasions, and the Cross of St. George waved in triumph in the heart of the King‘s Capital. Dearly bought the viciory may huve been, but victory it is, ond probably the brave men whose lives have paid for it, gave them cheerfully for the honour of the service, and to remove another enemy from their eountry‘s path, ; It is to be hoped the war will be speedily terminated, without fur. ther loss of life either by weapon or dis« ease, and that troubles of this serious nature will be rendered as rare as possible in the time to come . 3 Some of the critics of the Ontario Govâ€" ernment‘s policy imagine that they have made a telling point against it when they show an increase of some of the items of expenditure for 1873, as compared with the first or second year of Confederation. Mr. McKellar‘s challenge to the Opposis tion, to point out any improper expendiâ€" jure, has not been met. It. is absurd .to think that the Province should never dis« burse more thin the first year of its ex« istence under the new system, when the whole thing was «n experiment, when no surplus existel, and the population and wealth of Untsrio were considerably less than at present, . It is just likesaying that a man wellâ€"established in businese, and sure of an incressing w the growth of his stock and should restrict himself to the frugst‘ fare of his younger days, when he had his position to make. Untariocan afford to pay her seems to hiwve been premature. When most people imagined the whole trouble ended, the cable produces ‘ this new surâ€" prise, in connection with the intelligence that a series of severe contests had taken place, resulting in the British arrival at the Ashantee Capital, crowned with vic tory, though purchased at a hesvy loss in officers and men. Probably some of the statements, particularly that of the gre»t loss of the Highlanders, are exaggerated . But that the fighting was severe, and the @kilties ‘‘ seriously punisbed, is likely enough true. Sir Garuet Wolseley‘s force of white troops was small, probably not a tenth of his enemy in number, while the latter is best acquainted with the country, and most skilled in moving through the dark, almost impenetrable jangle, of th.‘ country.. . The blacks can â€" glide, like suakes, through the tangled mass of lux» uriant vegetation, being almost invisible in its dense shade. So much was this diffiâ€" culty fely, that Birâ€"Garnet® instructed his men ty‘fire at theâ€"spot, whence a flash proceeded, as the most likely way of reaching the fire, also to take steady fi-l and not waste bullets on the trees. It might easily happen in such a wilderness, even though pierced for rods, or partislly . cleared by the British and their allies, that the Europeans should be surrounaed by an immensely more numerous enemy, Then would come the tug of war, as the Ashantees are reported brave and tolera~ bly disciplined, even according to British perity, and to cteate improvements needed by the people, and promising good returas ?

The last public declaration of M. Thiers, the exâ€"President of France, proves the Strength of political feeling in that counâ€" try.

Mrâ€" Joseph, of Quebec, said the charge of the duty boinf obnoxious, did not justiâ€" fy ts repeal, All tizes were obnoxious, 1t was not reasonable to ask Government to give up the. revenue, $200,000 raised by these stamps.
