A despatch from Ottawa says: The national debt of Canada now stands at $303,562,104, an increase of about half a million during De- cember, accordingto the financial statement issued on Friday.

A despatch from Ottawa says: A. report that it is the intention of the Government to place an embargo upon American potatoes in retalia- tion for the action of the United States authorities for declining to allow Canadian potatoes to go into that country is denied in ofiicial circles. The claim is made - that there is just as much potato disease 'in the United States as in Canada, and that the object of embargo is to keep the'American market for the potato-growers of Maine. A pecu- liar feature of the situation, how- ever, is that while Hon.
