ENGLAND.

Lord Lyndhurst made a speech
in which he strongly advocated vigor-
Gus measures Of defense by sea and land.
He said that he regarded the asser-

live in perfect independence Of French
f~orbearance, relying solely on tue yigor
Of her people.
It is reported that all the British ma
val steamers have been requested by the

MOVEMENTS IN GERMANY.
The Berlin correspondent Of the Lon
don times says that the new proposals
of the Prussian Government are now in
the hands of the representatives of Rus

the Prussian army will be in full march
towards the French and Russian from
tiers.
Two corps d~'arnee, the Times's cor
respondent says, will be placed so as to
@
guard the eastern frontier against Rus
STA, and 10000 Prussian troops will be
stationed on the lower and middle from
tier of the Rhine.
When these preparations are compile
ted, continues the correspondent, the
Prussian Government will probably
make proposals for peace, such as the
French Emperor will belikely to reject,
when her active participation in the war
as the ally Of Austria, may be expected.
