HOME OPPOSITION.
LONDON, April 3.-The report that Count Won
Beust had suddenly left for Vienna is untrue.
deputation of the National Liberal Fedora
ton to protest against the attitude of the gov
ernment, and express disapproval of calling
out the reserves, and to proclaim the desire of
the Liberal party to save Great Britain from
the shame and misery of unjust war, were met
at Westminster Palace Hotel this afternoon by
Lords Granville and Harrington. The deputa-
ton numbered about 500 representatives from
all parts of the kingdom. Joseph
Chamberlain, member of the House
Of Commons from Birmingham, presided
John Bright introduced the deputa ton to
Lords Granville and Harrington. Lord Gran
vile, addressing the deputation, said he re-
quirEd no stimulus to adopt course likely to
prevent the country from being dragged into q
war which neither its honorable engagements
nor national interests demanded. But it would
be deceivlng themselves, and Russia, to con-
clude that opposition could prevent the govern
ment from going to war if the government was
bent on warlike policy. Lord Harrington
said the present duty of the opposition was to
lnterpose by every means in it's power obstacles
to any rash and ill-considered action of the
government, the result of which might be war.

the stewards of the Henley regatta, have
given notice that all American crews contem-
plating entry must do SO six weeks before the
regatta. The stewards also reserve the right to
refuse any entry without assigning a reason.
The Gazette doubts the Justice of compelling
Americans to settle their crews and pay en-
trance fees month earlier than the English
crews. The intention, it says, is doubtless, to
make full investigation of the status of
American seamen, but it would suffice, if the
names of American oarsmen were submitted to
the stewards at the time specified, leaving to
the Americans the option of selecting what
prizes they would enter for and who should
make up this or that crew, out of the list SUBJ
is. fortnight before the regatta.

three thousand press prosecutions, though ex-
tended by the Senate, to about dozen earlier
or later offenders including Paul DeCassagnac,
and the third is directed against an abuse of
power which, though not resorted to by Duke
DeBroglie, was notoriously advocated by some
of his colleagues and supporters.
