"After the terrific struggle in Marylebone three days ago, Von Kronhelm saw plainly that if London were to rise _en masse_ she would at once assume the upper hand. The German Commander-in-Chief had far too many points to guard. On the west of London he was threatened by Lord Byfield and hosts of auxiliaries, mostly sworn members of the National League of Defenders; on the south, across the river, Southwark, Lambeth, and Battersea formed an impregnable fortress, containing over a million eager patriots ready to burst forth and sweep away the vain, victorious army; while within central London itself the people were ready to rise. =LEAGUE OF DEFENDERS.= CITIZENS OF LONDON AND LOYAL PATRIOTS. The hour has come to show your strength, and to wreak your vengeance. TO-NIGHT, OCT. 4, AT 10 P.M., rise, and strike your blow for freedom. A MILLION MEN are with Lord Byfield, already within striking distance of London; a million follow them, and yet another million are ready in South London. RISE, FEARLESS AND STERN. Let "England for Englishmen" be your battle-cry, and avenge the blood of your wives and your children. AVENGE THIS INSULT TO YOUR NATION. REMEMBER: TEN O'CLOCK TO-NIGHT! "Reports reaching us to-day from Lord Byfield's headquarters at Windsor are numerous, but conflicting. As far as can be gathered, the authentic facts are as follows: Great bodies of the Defenders, including many women, all armed, are massing at Reading, Sonning, Wokingham, and Maidenhead. Thousands have arrived, and are hourly arriving by train, from Portsmouth, Plymouth, Exeter, Bristol, Gloucester, and, in fact, all the chief centres of the West of England, where Gerald Graham's campaign has been so marvellously successful. Sturdy Welsh colliers are marching shoulder to shoulder with agricultural labourers from Dorset and Devon, and clerks and citizens from the towns of Somerset, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, and Oxfordshire are taking arms beside the riff-raff of their own neighbourhoods. Peer and peasant, professional man and pauper, all are now united with one common object--to drive back the invader, and to save our dear old England.
