ENLISTMENT OF FOREIGN SOLDIERS.

WHEN Parliament was hastily summoned to
meet on Tuesday last, we were gravely assured,
through semi-official sources, that the sole object
was to supply a technical defect, and enable the
Government to render such Militia Regiments as
might volunteer available for garrison duty in the
Colonies, so as to set flee for active warfare a cer-
tain number of soldiers of the regular army_ It
now appears that the Ministers had another object
in view, for, while the Militia Bill is passing through
its- several stages in the House of Commons, a bill
te enable the Government to hire a legion of
foreign mercenaries, to the number of 15,000 men,
is -being forced througlvthe House of Lords- The
plea is necessity, and the apology is that the Earl
of eHATHAM raised a German Legion during the
long war. We deny the former and dispute the
applicability of the latter. In the last war we had
nearly all Europe to contend with, and found suf-
ficient men when our population was considerably
less, and men had far less inducement than at
present to enlist. At the close of the war we had
more than 230,000 men in arms, and now we have
not nearly reached that amount, with far more
ample • resources both in men and money. When
the German Legion was raised, we had a German
Sovereign, and the troops fought on German ground
fin. German interests. No such conditions exist at
the present time, nor can the slightest necessity
be shown for this unconstitutional measure on the
part of the Government. Since the news of the
great battles in the Crimea have been receiVed,
recruiting has been increased tenfold, and if more
men be required, all that is necessary is to reduce
the restrictions as to height and age, and English
soldiers may be obtained'to any extent sufficient to
people the Crimea and annihilate all the forces• that
Russia can supply. The Earl of DERBY attempted,
though.unsuccessfully, to resist the measure, but
we trust that the House of Commons will throw it
out, and. compel the Ministers to be content. with
their Militia Bill.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT

THE• DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS

WE. were enabled, last week to publish, in a
SECOND EDITION, the Speech from the Throne
with which Ilta MAJESTY opened the Session of
Parliament on Tuesday. It is so much a matter
of course to entertain great expectations of the
contents of this Ministerial manifesto, and then
quietly resign ourselves to the disappointment of
finding nothing in it, that the compliance with
custom on the present occasion excites no surprise.
Indeed; the Speech has a strong recommendation
for its more than usual brevity, and its,framers are
entitled to great credit, not so much for what it
contains as for what has been: omitted. Instead

of announcing a series of impracticable measures,
and holding out promises which cannot be realised,
the subject matter of the speech is prudently con-
fined to the all-engrossing topic of the war, leaving
even the important item of pecuniary resources to
a simple expression of satisfaction at the state of
the Revenue—very wisely supposing that the
patriotism and unanimity of Parliament will pro-
vide ample supplies for a vigorous prosecution of
hostilities against Russia. Only a passing allusion
is made to the Treaty with the United States
respecting the North American Fisheries, and to
the conclusion of that with:Austria—so that nothing
should distract attention from the one theme
of public interest. It is, in fact—as it was evidently
intended to be—a War Speech.
On the first night of Parliament, when the
Speech comes under direct consideration, there was,•
as might have been anticipated, au animated debate
in both houses, in which•the conduct of the Minis-
ters, with reference to their management of the
War, was freely canvassed. There was, however,
no attempt at opposition; no amendment was
moved, and the Address to HER MAJESTY, in. reply
to the Speech, was carried unanimously in both
Houses.
