Later advices from Canada confirm our anticipatory qualifica- tion of
those received last week : the Annexation movement had provoked a marked reaction. Members of the Ministerial party had put forth a protest; Mr. Baldwin had made a strong and frank declaration in favour of prolonged connexion with the Mother-country ; Sir Alan M'Nab had expressed similar feel- ings; the press is generally against the treason ; and a counter-address of inhabitants was collecting signatures faster than the Annexation address had done. It is asserted that the Annexation movement centres in Montreal, almost exclu- sively. Now would be the time for a striking manifestation of Imperial regard for the Province--taking the ball at the rebound.
