By reference to the correspondence between
Governor Yates and the War Department it will
be seen that Illinois has $1,000 men enlisted
already, with . prospect that the number will
reach 0,00e by this evening, when recruiting
for new regiments ceases, after which time, and
until Sept lst, recruits will be received to fill
up the old regiments.
The quota Of Illinois is 81. 900 under both calls.
Can any State furnish brighter record?

lieved that the Nashville has been ordered to

tic Manchester Chamber Of Commerce, the
American question claimed great attention
strict neutrality was generally strongly urged.
A proposition that the Chamber shoull open
q conference with the New York Chamber of
Commerce, IN the interests Of peace met with
approval. Tue pirate Sumter was still at Glib
rnlter. The Independence Bslge asserts that the
{
English government that in return for the re.
cognitiou Of the Southern Confederacy thew
would establish absolute free trnde for ffty
years, abolish the external slave trade, and
emuncipate all the blacks born after the recog-
milton. These offers will, however, not deter
mine Lord Pamerstou tO abandon tie policy Of
neutrality. The proposition Of Mir, Gregory for
the recognition OF the South will be discussed
soon after the opening Of the Parliament, but
after an exciting debate its rejection is expected.
The comments Of the French press on the En-
peIor's speech are generally favorable. Of tho
American portion Of the speech, the Steele says
Contrary TO what several journals endsayor
to accredit, the Emperor declares himself very
clearly in favor OF neutrality in the American
dispute. So long the rights Of neutrss shall
be respected, France will remain spectator
OF that civil war which, we trust, will finish by
an approaching victory Of the north over the re-
volteI south, We have expressed too often our
hopes in favor Of tue northern States of America
10 render t necessary at present to return to
that question"
The OPINION NlGoHalr, after quoting the En-
Peror's words relative to America says:
This significant phrase Of which we are
most happy to take note, shows that the inter
ventiou talked Of by certain French journals is
iaere chimera, and fully justifes the system o.
neutrality which We have always advocated"
