| Disraeli's declaration for an afI0eC
neutrality was not less applauded Oh
the conservative side and the libefal
wanted to hear an authentic state
ment from Gladstone.
Many showed marks of unmis

more clear than ever that popular
feeling goes beyond the Government
There are not wanting members o
Parliament and journals who would
prohibit France from buying arms Ol
coal.
GladstOne's strong point was in
providing that the English military
| forces, so far from being diminished,
ought TO be augmented.
The Daily NeicS says, on the whole,
we have every reason to be contented
with the condition of our national de-
tense, which, with the augmentations
already proposed, will be quite ade.
quate to support the best secured neu-
Grality, and might, if calamity should
fall on US, quickly expand into force
quite adequate to sustain US in trouble.
An appeal to the aFbitrament of arms
is the very last TO which we should
willingly resort, but we may rest as
sured that it is neither so distant FROM
the thoughts Of our ministers az to be
deemed impossible, nor so alien from
their cOunsels as to find them UMPIRE

LONDON, August 2.-The war news
this morning is meager and unimpor-
tant The London journals appear to-
day without a word from the rival
armies on the Rhine. Active recruit
ing for the marine service has been
ordered at English dock yards. The
impression prevails here that the ar
rival of French fleet in the Baltic
sea alone prevented the Prussians from
advancing through France to Paris.
The Brussels noon correspondent of
the independence Beige writing from
Metz asserts that the first great battle
will be fought on Saturday or Sunday
next, or Monday at furthest. He un-
derscOres the sentence following, viz;
''THis is sure" London advices from
Prussian sources, mention the preVa-
lence throughout Germany OF
an unwavering assurance of ulti-
mate victory.
LONDON, August 2.-Advices have
been received here by telegraph from
Prussian headquarters on the Rhine
up to 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
There had been no general engage
ment up to that time. Scouting par
ties and skirmishers from both armies
were continually making raids into
the enemy's territory, but it vas be-
lieVed this was made more to accustGm
the troops to the fight and fire of the
enemy than for suY other purpose.
LONDON, August z.-Fhe presence
OF armies on the frontier Of France
and the RheHish provinces has given
rise to various apPrehensions OF
famine. L'Opi1i6R ADGfi0HGte, OF Paris,
SC rs, in this connection, that in order
t6'ayOid impOverishing the theatsF OF
var. the Emperor draws his supplies
from distance by railroad,
The London Ties OF this morning
has long editorial on the war pros
pect. The writer thinks the Geiay IN
military movements on both sides iis
to be ascribed TO the decentralization
of troops from having been moved by
rail. The French were also de-
layed on account of the hesitation
Of the South German States, and are
now necessarily confined to the
narrow ground .Of Saar Nalley. Ia
fact, the entire prec0nceived plan of
the Emperor has been altered by un-
fOrseen circumstances of this govern
ment, and he has yet probably to form
q new one. The Times argues that the
on account OF the likeli-
hood Ot its fouling speedily, will be
tOund TO be Infinitely less effective
than the needle gun, and the differ
eBoe in this respect will possibly be
suii Gent to govern the result of the
war.
LONDoS, August The King of
WurtembHrg is quoted as saying that
Germany will be ruined by war for
twenty years, and that emigration TO
America will swell TO enormous pro-
portions. a
1t is thought that Napoleon erred in
not rushing promptly into Bavaria.
He would thereby have neutralized
the action of all Southern Germany.
sIch movement is impossible now,
Secagse it would expose Paris.
Another installment Of correspon-
dence with foreign powers, relative to
the secret treaty, is made public, but
the contents have been anticipated.
In the House of Lords to-day bill
giving the Government power to call
out the militia was introduced under
a suspension of the rules. The enlist
ment bill also passed. Amendments
were made to the education bill and
read the third time. Adjourned.
LONDON, August 2.-Eyidence Is
hourly accommodating of the superior
ity OF the needle gun over the Chasse-
pot and the fact creates ample concern
IN France.
The Pail Mall Gazetle estimates the
Prussian army on the frontier TO num-
Der 500, 900 men.
Extreme activity Is noticed i'm the
English ports and dockyards and ex
Lensive preparations are being made
10 put the coast defenses in condition
10 resist an attack.
LONDON, August 2.-In the House
Of Lords to-day Earl Russell moved
1 second reading of the bill amending
the militia acts, He spoke at some
length in review OF the condition of
oreign affairs, and said that the Gov
srnment requires full defensive
powers. The intrigue5 and perils up
ln the Continent are due TO the uncer-
.ainty Of the course TO be pursued by
England. In his opinion we need
Jnly to declare for the enforcement of
.reaties, whereupon half the danger
would vanish. lri4 a't tF gFuh ae1
Earl Granville lamented the noble
Lords palpable lack of confidence
n the Government. A week
sgO he had fully sustained 1t, and the
speaker knew Of nothing that had
since occurred that could properly al
LeF his intention. While fully sensi-
BILE OF our obligations to Belgium,
Earl Granville considered 1t need |
less and injudicious to discuss them
with this publicity. Last week, he
the noble Lord approved
Of the course of the Ministers and he
was ready to back them up.
The change in his position on the
excusable subject then dropped, and
The Education bill was taken up and
