Daily News says it now depends on the Prince
Regent of Prussia, to all appearance, whether
the war shall involve the whole of Europe ; as the
friends of Austria assert that he is about to join the
conflict with all Germany, in order to save the extra-
Germanic dominions of Austria. The Daily News,

business, even to pay for his food. About 2,000 men
are in the district, and it is said that they are
averaging from $lO to $2O cash per day. The colo-
nists are about to petition for the establishment of a

As it is prOpoied that the Volunteer Rifle Corps shall be raised
in Companies of 100 men each, and in different localities, it is
suggested that this might be most expeditiously effected by some
Ten or Twelve Gentlemen who may be willing to devote themselves
to the object, endeavouring each to raise a Company among their
Mends and associations.
