Every day the cable news becomes more warlike. To-day's despatches, announcing the placing of the Guards on a war footing, evidence a determination to put every available man in the" field in the event of a rupture. With an effort, an expeditionary army of 100,000 first-class troops might probably be made available at the opening of a campaign, and this number could be strengthened indefinitely as the war progressed. Sir Stafford Northcote's speech exhibits the confidence of the Government in its ability to defend national interests should they prove to be assailed in the treaty of peace, which is still for some unknown reason kept secret.
