The 93d Highlanders, at Plymouth. have received their volunteers from the difl'erent regiments, and they are under orders for embarkation on ltlonda . Yesterday the entire regiment was publii-ly inspected on the H00 by Major-General Sir Harry Smith, G. C. B., com- mandant of the \'Vostern District.

Orders have been received at head-quarters at Woolwich to augment the Royal Suppers and Miners one sergeant, one corporal, one second coporal, and 17 privatscrs to each company, making a total of 440 mcn.—Tho llth company,undcr Captain IIassard,Royal Engineers, were to leave Woolwich at an early hour yesterday, so as to arrive at the Waterloo station in London, to proceed with the train which leaves that station for Southampton at nine o'clock a.m., where they are to embark on board the IIimalayu.—'l‘hc 7th company, under Captain Gibb,Royal Engineers, expect to embark earl next we-ck.—' he l0tli coin-

Lieutenant Blackett, of the Cressy fr1iNgatc, is at Shields beating up for volunteers. otwith- standing the present high rate of wages in the merchant service he has done exceedingly well. Last week above 50 young men joined at New- castle; 28 have joined at Sundorland. The rendezvous at Shields has been opened but a couple of days, and there have been numerous app icutions from young men, of from 20 to 25 years, to e their names enrolled. Ton young men were sent 05 to the vessel yesterday. Captain Broadhcad has enrollcd above 100 youn men at Newcastle for the Naval Coast- guar Volunteers. A considerable number of young men have also voluntcorcd into the same cor s at'l‘yncmouth. pwards of 2.50 naval volunteers have been sent to London from Liverpool in the course of the present month. About 48 took their depar- ture on Tliursda cvoning. Commander Skinner has been ordered to open a rendezvous at IIoly- head, and to forward the volunteers thence to Liverpool.

The Daily News, of estcrday, reiterates the announcement that t e appointment will be accepted by the public as a new proof that the Govcrment are earnest in their 0 position to Russian aggression, and adds that, liesidos this sign of earnestness shown by the appointment 0 Sir Charles Napies to the Baltic cot, it is confidently rumoured that a communication similar in character to the letter of the Emperor of the French has been sent to th Czar from En land. Rumour says that a definite number of aye has been named from the date of the receipt of such letter within which the Autocrat is to ivc orders to his invading forces to fall back yond the Pruth—tlio penalt of non- com liance boingopen and immediate ostilities on t o part of the allied forces of England and France.

The Admiralty have issued notice that on Monday, the 27th inst., they will be ready to treat for the hire of three or four good coppered ships from 630 ,to 800 tons each, new measure- mgnt, to be employed as regular transports, for four months certain. These transports are to

The Duke of Cambridge, by common coiisenl, has the cavalry brigade awarded him, to assists by General Brotberton and the Earl of Cardigan. Sir «la Lacy Evans and Sir Colin Campbell are also likely to command brigades.

Malia has been fixed upon as the general rendezvous for the troops departing from the various ports in this counirv. There they will receive their commanders, and from thence depart in a body for the spot deteriniucd upon for disem- barkaiion. Varna, on the Black Sea. is the probable place where they can IIIIIII against all attacks and where they can act with our fleet.

The msriial spirit of the Irish has been tho- roughly aroused. The recruiting parties. not only in Dublin, but in the provinces, have been suc- cessful beyond all anticipation. All ilieregzimcnts in Dublin have received letters of readiness, and the enthusiasm of the troops in (_IaI'I‘ISl|llI is almost at fever heat. The (‘olunels commanding the Irish niiliiia have cotninsnced organising Ilia staff- of their regiments. During the last war the Irish militia supplied volunteers in abundance to the line. The fighting men of the 88th Connaught Rangers, the 87th Fauzh-a-liallaglis, and the 96th (County Down) were, generally speaking, volunteers from the militia.

From the European Times.

Even at the last moment the Emperor of the French has addressed an autograph letter to the Russian Emperor, oflerin the part of the Western Powers, that the allied fleets shall withdraw from the Eiixinc iftho Czar‘s soldiers are ordered to evacuate the Dannbian provin- ces. ’.l‘u this otter the answer has been an emphatic “No!" The telegraph message of the French Envoy to Paris, who was charged with the delivery of this letter tothe Czar, closes the last hope of a pacific adjustment. “ I return,” says the envoy, “ with a refusal !” Nothing can be more emphatic—nothing can show more uumistakeably the infatuation, or it

The s eches of Lord John Russell and of Lord Pa merston on the army estimates and the manifesto of Louis Na Icon, published in the Moniteur. are pretty ecisive declarations of war. The royal proclamation, also, issued prohibiting tho export of warlike stores, and of such machinery as may be adapted to the con- struction of marine steam-engines, leaves [in doubt that a blow will be struck at Russia as soon as British subjects and British property in the Russian territories can be placed out of danger of detention or sequestration. The tone of Lord John Russell and his noblc colleague betra ed great indi ation at bein so coiii- plote y deceived by t e Czar as they [have been. and the outspoken declaration by the latter noble lord, “ that the Russian government, by itself and its agents, has throughout these: transactions, exhausted every modification oi‘? untruth, concealment. and evasion, and ended l with assertions of positive falsehood,” leaves‘ no door open for reconcilcment or retraction.‘ Louis Napoleon's language in the Monilcur isl equally decisive. After announcing that the! Czar‘s reply to the Emperor's last it pool leaves I no chance open for a pacific so ution, and, France must therefore be prepared to maintain the cause of Turkey by the most effective men-

tlioreforc, he undertakes to defend with gi-eiit- ‘ or energy the rights of Turkey, the Eniperorl reckons on tho patriotism of the country, on‘ the close alliance with England, and the S]/In-l

character of the Emperor of Austria, whose‘

interests are in fact identical with those of

rance. All this is perfectly true, and, as we have invariably expressed an opinion that wlie , the case was pushed to extremities, Austria and Prussia must fraternise with England and France, we are very glad to find, in spite of Russian intrigue in the city of Vienna, that in conseqpence of the earnest representations made England and France, the voung Ein- oscph is more and more inclined to co- operate with us. His ruin is sealed if he joins with Russia. The patriots of Poland, Hungary, and Italy will 11 to arms, and, counteminccd by England and rance, the Austrian IIIODflI'CIiy would crumble to dissolution. The people of Greece, that is of Epirus, Thessaly, and Macc- donia have already broken out into an organised insurrection, the effect of which will be to re- quire increased energy on the part of the West- orn Powers, and it must, we think, demonstrate to Austria that no time is to be lost. We are certainly not surprised that the Paris politi- cians should view the articlc iii the Moni'tcur. which contains the ox ressions “ tortuous policy" and “ double-face dpolicy.” and which in idea cannot be separate from Austria and her roceedings, as a menace to that power. All t 0 better. The Emperor Joseph must be tau ht from the commencement that no sliilly-

may be the madness of the Czar.

s matters have now come to this crisis, the previous forbearance ‘if the Western Powers is now seen to have been the most wise, and, mo- rally, the most litic that could have been pursued. It has eft the Czar without a defend- er, and his whole course of policy without an apologist. It has united al Europe against him, and has opened the eyes even of the Germanic were, to his_ real motives and chu-

sha y polio would be tolerated in the present exigency. e that is not for us is against us, an woe to that power which plays false to England and France. The march of the French troo is not noticed in the French journals; but 0,000 men will be sent, and we have no doubt that the French Emperor is now waiting for the consent of the Emperor of Austria, who, if he joins the Western Powers, must allow the

meter. on 0 new signifies his determina- tion to fight, with all the world op sad to him, it follows, aforliori, that nothing in an earlier stage 0 the negociations won have moved him from his purpose.

But the question which must occur to ever one is this-—is be mad, or, if his mind bcsoun . what are his hopes of success! The allied Ilccts now swcc the Enxine, and when the Baltic opens next month, the most wcrful naval armament that was ever tion on its waters will blockade every port, or actually destroy any Russian force that may be brought a last it. ,Austria has the power of cutting o I communication eon the Russian dominions and the Pauubisn provinces, and we

know that the uiiseiou of Count Orlol lies bssu

French soldiers the facility ot' t-occeding across his dominions by railway. Vo have it strong impression that this will be the course ursued, and if, fortunately for the world, ustria and Prussia go heart and hand with us in the coming struggle, it will tend very much to shorten its duration. The En lish expedition has been increased from 12, 26,000 m . From Southampton, Liverpool Dublin, Plymouth, and Queenstown, the cm- harkation has been effected with order and celerity, and the troo have been cheered on-‘ wards to proceed “ w are lory waits them" by the universal shouts of t e multitudes who continue " to live at home at ease." The al crity with which the military and naval re- cru is look totlie uniosis a pretty plain pi-oofl

phis ground until the allied iii-my rcaclws tie spot. The ver news of the departure of the troops of the Iliad Powers must make the Russian generals pause, and whether they cross the Danube or linger in the Principttlitics, their total defeat is inevitable. The Anglo-French fleets by this time are put in motion to some purpose, and we hope to see an old score paid off at Ismail and Scbastopol. The appearance of the Anglo-French armies must c iange the fate of the war in the Canon. sus. L'uli-as the Russian generals there move their armies towards the Cas ian Sea they must he cut oil‘. The old stupi story about the capture of Khiva, again revived this week, upon the authority ofa letter from Bagdad, needs no contradiction. Hereafter we shall Sec- tunl security against these menaces ii. inst our Indian possession. General Custel jac and Sir G. ll. Seymoiir have not returned, whilst we write, from St. Petersliirgh, but they are both hourly expected. M. Castelbajac, it will be seen, has since arri in arts. Baron llrunow and Kisseli-fl’aro at Vienna, which city is in fact the focus of Russian intrigue. It is idle to suppose that France and England will tolerate this. It it is too late for the Emperor to amuse us with his efforts to maintain peace, .'lIl(I we cannot allow him to paralyso those of more indi-pendent action. Five additional I“I'L‘IIt‘.lI line of battle ships will be sent to the Black Sea, and the English fleet will be read for action long before the weather in the Be - tic will allow of any operations.
