enrolled to-day. The total number of volun-
teers 80 far is about 1000. Il

leved to be founded on mere conjecture, as
nothing definite has been settled.
The Vienna Political Correspondence has a
letter from London stating the British govern

appreciate to the full England's earnestness.
In contrary case, England will take into her
own hands, at her own risk, the rectifcation of
hussla's work in the Balkans, the peninsula
and on the Asiatic coast of the Black sea. It is
possible, before embarking upon this course,
England will summon conference in London.
THE SAME HEART EVERYWHERE.
Mr.. Gathorne Hardy at Bradford last night
spoke in a very determined tone. He said he
believed England could send 100000 men
abroad at this moment. England is no longer
small island but vast empire, having the
right to draw trustworthy defenders from all
parts of the empire. He knew nothing which
gratifed him so much as when lately he re-
celved at the war Office offers from Canada to
raise regiments, and he believed the same heart
was beating in all the colonies as at home.
