ENGLAND'S ACTION.
Mr. Disraeli advocated an armed neutrality. Mr. Gladstone objected, saying that England was perfectly impartial, but the Government would take precautionary military and naval measures. A supplementary war estimate of two millions has been submitted. The chartering of coal-ships for the belligerent fleets is declared illegal. An Army Enlistment Bill has been passed. A Foreign Enlistment Bill, providing against any assistance whatever being rendered to the belligerents, has been read a second time. A monster meeting was held in Dublin, in favor of France and Fenianism.
