CAN FRANCE ACCEPT TIIELOSS OF HER PROVINCES ? From the A'. T. Timet. In a recent report of the interview between Von BiMLiarck and 21. Favre, it is stated that the latter urged, in reply to the Frassian de mands for Alsace and Lorraine, that "French honor could not endure the diminution of any of tlio French territory." The Provi sional Government were willing to pay an in demnity for the war expenses, to dismantle the foitrespefl, and possibly to give np a por tion of tie French fleet; hut the honor of the nation could not bear the loss of their ancient provinces. On this rock, probably, the efforts for peace were wrecked, and rather than yield this point of honor France is given over to devastation end rnin. One account of this celebrated interview reports that Von Bis marck replied that the honor of the French nation was no more Rensitivo than that of any other nation, and they had often sub mitted to losses of territory rather than carry on a disastrous war. Whether the Prusbian Premier made the retort or not, it contains a substantial historical truth which ought to be considered now by the French lei. deis. No doubt the Prussian statesman looked back some sixty years, aud recalled the time when the great Emperor of the French had his foot upon the Prussian kingdom, and no luagcanimity on the one Hide or scrupulous sense of honor on the other prevented the best provinces of Prussia becoming French. Or possibly he remembered the negotiations fifty-five years ago which determined the pre sent political form of Europe. He may have recalled that "French honor" was sensitive then to the loss of territory, and yet that the Emperor had to give up half Europe which he had annexed. He must have read how unyielding for many months the French were in their view that the limits of France were the RLine on the east, and how the diplomat of that day, Caulaincourt, threatened, as Jules Favre does now, to fight to the last man rather thuu yield the true French boundary. And yet French honor submitted to the inevi table, end accepted an interior line rather than the famous river, and bore with the loss of innumerable provinces. Danish honor, too, was sensitive, but it had to endure the loss of Norway, and see its annexation to Sweden. Saxon honor was tender, but Saxony was compelled to lose half its territory. The little republio of Genoa was proud and irritable, but it Raw itself summarily united with the Kingdom of Sardinia. Lombardy was conferred, with as little ceremony, on Austria. Holland and Belgium were manipulated as the great powers chose, and Germany was reconstituted. Even British honor submitted to the loss of Java, and the Dutch to that of the Cape Colony and other colonies. In more recent years. Austria has been obliged to give up her wealthy Italian provinces, and Fiance herself has, without the Kmallest consideration for Italian honor, forcibly annexed Nice and the adjacent country. Within three years, most of the smaller potentates of Germany have been compelled to swallow their soruples of honor, and permit their territories to be incorpoiated in Germany and Prussia. French honor, no doubt, dictated the upholding of Maximilian, and keeping possession of Mex ico; but sentiment must give place to stern facts, and when the United States appeared on the field, the Emperor quietly retired. It is very hard, undoubtedly, to be beaten in a great war; but then all nations have at some time experienced this disagreeable fortune, and have accepted the consequences. One natural result of defeat is the loss of ter ritory. What could have been more painful to the proud Sclavonic race, which, for half a century had never known a defeat, than to accept tie dismantling of their finest fortress and the loss of the Black Sea as a naval sta tion? Yet even Russian honor bowed to what could not be avoided, and accepted the disgrace. If a nation throw down the glove in a great war, she must accept the consequences; and one of them is disaster and a possible loss of provinces. The French nature is not dif ferently constituted from that of other Euro pean peoples. What they have so often borne, the great nation must bear. These very provinces were obtained from Germany just as the Germans are seeking now to wring them from France. It is useless for English journals like the Spectator to appeal to the higher morale and magnanimity of the Prussians. Both nations are alike. They seek all they enn get after a victory. It is true that Germany has frequently been Cheated of her fair share in the plunder of wbi; because her destinies were never in her own hands. Now she controls herself, through tLe bhrewde&t statesman of modern times, who is not at all likely to let any glamour of sentiment keep bis hands from a liberal bhare of the just spoils of the cam paign. It the esses were reversed, and Napoleon were at this moment besieging Berlin, and King William were a prisoner in Versailles, how much consideration would probably be shown by the compeers of M. Favre for the "sensitive" German honor ? Who would apeak then of mngnauimity requiring the irench not to take the Rhino Provinces, and of the danger and sin of driving Germany to despair, because France wanted Rhenish Prussia beyond the river ? All men would say that the King of Prussia did wisely to give up a few provinces, rather than expose his whole people to invasion, aud leave the count i y Mripped bare of every necessary of life. Even in the interest of revenge and honor, they would say it is better to accept the trifling loss and disgrace, and regain strength for another and more fortunate campaign. What are needed now in France are statesmen bold enough to accept the in evitable. - NEUTRALITY TROUBLES IN lftTO. From the Army and Xavy Juurnal The English papers publish a correspond. ence between the Governments of England and North Germany on the aubjeot of sap- Divine arms ana material or war to I ranee The Biitish authorities took the same stand in this as in our war, and from the beginning of hostilities till now have made no attempt to prevent me gate- ox anything either Deuiee rent would buy, with the sol exception of equipped ships of war probably the only thine the Germans would care to rmrohase. 'Xhe British authorities started with declaring ' in Parliament that Government had the power to prohibit the exportation of contraband of ' war but that to do so thoroughly would be to nut a b tumbling-block in the way of ell oom- pertain wcasnres confining the prohibition li.'. 1 rnf y trade of France, she found England unwill ing to take even this step. England, in short, supports the theory that merchants are not to be impeded from putting anything they like in ships, and Bending them to any port they choose, taking themselves all risk of capture, loss, or damHge, if the port they select is subject to these vicissitudes of war. Count von Bernslorff, the complainant on behalf of Germany, quotes the case of Eng land in the Crimean war, when she com plained that Russia dew supplies from Prns- sia, and through her from other countries beyond her borders. He thinks that if the complaints of England were right then, his own ought to hold good now, and draws a very good picture of the difference between a war of four powers against one, as then, and one of two equally numerous peoples against each other, as now. But Earl Gran ville has the better of him here, for Prussia did not stop either the sale, of arms by her subjects or their trausport across her terri tory, though she pretended to do the litter by issuing decrees prohibiting the transit of arniB and other material. The manufacture 8nd sale of such supplies by her own sub jects were never interfered with, aud were not only suffered to go on with great aotivity, but to the remonstrances of England the ans er was returned that Prussia could not interfere with the course of trade. The Queen's proclamation of neutrality carefully claimed the right of her subjects to deal with either belligerent in articles for use in war. President Grant took similar pains in his proclamation. These principles have long been recognized. England herself was a sufferer by them during the Crimean war, and had to acknowledge that she had no re dress. When it wa found that Prussia would do nothing to stop the supply of arms to Russia, the law officers of the crown were consulted, to know whether she would be justified in making representations founded on her rights as belligerents. The answer, says Earl Granville, was clear that her Majesty's Government would be en itled ts re monstrate only in the eveut of violation of Prussian law; and It will be fouad, on reference to the cor respondence, that, ihougtitnc large direct exporta tions from the States of the Zolleverela certainly formed occasionally the subject of reprosentatl ns and dlFcushlong, the strong remonstrances to which your Excellency alludes were, with few exception, made on the subject of the continuous violation of the injunctions of the decrees forbid'.ilag the transit ofa'ins. "It must be remembered that obligations upon neutrals have become more slrlot with tlm progrjsi of civilization; but the present question is on1! which was not raised or discussed at the Oongres of Paris of 1850; and the royal commission, com posed of some of the moHt eminent jurisconsults la this country, who inquired Info the neutrality laws In 1EC7, decided that to prohibit the export of muni tions of war was impracticable aud impolitic." The English leaders after having had a brush on this subject with most nations which have been at war within the last quar ter of a century, know perfectly well the part they are to play in correspondence of this kind, and it is amusing to see how quickly thewreach the "You let me alone now!" stage of the quarrel. Earl Granville says: Her Majesty's government fear that no means could be devised for securing, at this moment, a calm discussion of the subject. They by no means desire to claim exceptional rights for this country. They would be prepared to enter Into consultation with other nations as to tHc possibility of adopting la common a stricter rule, although their expectations of a practical result la the sense indicated by the North German government are not sanguine. We took the course which appeared to be according t ) the dictates of practice aad irccedent, at a time when It was Impossible to know how the future of the war would turn." The German champion brings up one point which certainly has force. It is, that nations having inherent and ineradicable differences of opportunities and resource?, it is mockery to talk of making fixed laws that shall treat unequal cases alike. He considers as scarcely serious the idea that the Germans are at liberty to bring each case before their Oivn prize courts; for this is only "to taunt Ger many with not being mistress of the seas." In the present condition of international law, each nation at war is burdened with the ne cessity of seeing that her rival receives no arms from abroad. But in what war is this an equal charge '( Geruiauy crushes France to-day in tair struggle, ana ! ranee lias no hope left but to hold on until she can drill armies which are to fight with foreign wea pons. Is that a fair fight where the biggest bystanders rush in and help the beaten pu gilist ? It is not to be wondered at that the conquercr complains of unfair play, and the reply that he ought to have a better navy is entirely outside of the question. And yet what other answer is there to make the all-powerful Teuton? We are Bending arms to France by every steamer, not concealing them nor weakly excusing the act. Our Government points to the re cognized rules of law, and if Germany is dis satisfied let her call a congress tor the eleh- nite settlement of the requirements of inter national law. Such a settlement is certainly much needed. NEUTRAL OPINION ON TIIE ALA BAMA CASE. From the A. V. Xation. ' If the Alabama case were referred to arbi tration, it would have to be to some Germau Government, or to Switzerland, or to Italy. England would hardly agree to leave it to Russia, and there is no power outside these in which either of the parties to the contro versy would have any confidence at all, either as regards intelligence or inaepenaenoe. Now, when a question of this kind is sub mitted to the arbitration of a Government, what the Government does is simply to refer it to one or more of iU ablest j urists, and adopt their finding as its own. If this case were left to any German Government, there are two men in Germany to whom it would almost certainly be referred, Drs. Von Holtzendorff and Bluntsehli. They are both amongst the weightiest living authorities on questions of international law, and both enjoy a world-wide reputation. Both, too, have been importuned for an opinion on the Alabama case, and both have until now re frained, probably from a dislike to even the appearance of otneionsness. Dr. Bluntsehli has, however, at last broken silence, and pub lishes an elaborate opinion on all the points raised, taking Mr. Sumner'8 speech as his text, in the last number of the lie cue tie Droit International. Before giving his own sani mlrig tip of his decision, we may be per mitted to recall to the recollection of our readers that we have at various times in theta columns, during the pest year, taken the ground:- i. inat tnerecopmuon oi tne noutn ass belligerent was a discretionary act, and thaf, aunougn me u nited states mignt go to wr about it,, as it might . about anything or nothing, au tali, of iuatin it the matter ot complaint before a tribunal was simply ab surd, i uenerai urant wisely abandoned it, by implication, in ; his first message ab ut Cuba, id spite of the labor expended on it by Messrs. oewara ana numner. , a. That England had ooaimitted a breach of neutrality duty in, kiting the Alabama escape, and for this was bound to atone t the UMted States, at least in damage; an I - that her oonefSBion' 1 ie11irrnfc rii a to be Hnnh nry ra.d" 4M nM'rtl iltr nil i ' 3. That although she ought to make some f oil of moral as well as material satisfaction, it was useless, and, because useless, mis chievous, to expect and insist upon a formal apology; that a formal apology frdm a first class power, for things done or left undone by the Government itself, would be some thing to which no people of the standing and pretensions of Great Britain would submit, except as the crowning humiliation of a dis astrous war. Now bear Dr. Bluntsehli. He lays down the following propositions, which we trans late literally: I. "The recognition of the Southern States as a belligerent power, and the declaration of neutrality on the part of Great Britain and France, did not constitute a violation of in ternational law. In deciding to act thus, the European States only exercised a right, what ever the serious objections which might have been offered to the political opportuneness of its exercise. The United States, then, are not authorized, ho never calamitous for them the results of that recognition, to exact for it fiom Great Britain or France any satisfac tion or reparation, as this could only bo done by denying the right. II. "Supposing the charges made against tie English Government relative to the arma ment of the Alabama, and . her unimpeded depaiture from an English port, to be well founded, we have before us a case of culpable non-performance (inobserratioii fautive) of the duties of a neutral and friendly state to wards the Union, and the latter has a right to demand satisfaction and reparation from Great Britain. HI. "The owners of American ships ard meichandise destroyed (by the Alabama) have no right of action in damages against the British Government, but the Government of the Union may watch over and protect their interests in settling the pending con troversy with Great Britain. IV. "The true solution of the difficulty censists in a combination of material repara tion for the compensation of American pro- ertj -owners with a moral guarantee, both for commercial and maritime relations, pgairet the recurrence of Bimilar injuries. Ihefiistof these objects would be attained by means of a fair pecuniary compensation, to be paid by Great Britain to the United States, for distribution amongst the persons injured; the second, by a new declaration of the duties devolving on neutral and friendly States, ro as to hinder as far as passible the abuse of neutral territory for the organization of military expeditions." In the argument by which Dr. Bluntsehli prepares the way for these propositions, he lays it down that to the recognition of the South there was a political as well as a juridi cal side, and although it may have been an unfriendly act, as regarded the United States, this made it simply a "political error," but by no means necessarily an "injustice." For the first a government is responsible only to its people; for the second, to the foreign state which it injures. The recogni tion was justified, he holds, by the fact that the South had, when the proclamation was issued, all the required marks of belligerency, namely (a) "in being dc facto organized as a military force; (ft) in observing in the con duct of hostilities the laws of war; aud (c) in believing itself to be in good faith struggling, in the character and capacity of a state, in defense of its public right." Mr. Sumner's "pacific blockade" lie disposes of, as President Woolsey did, by alleging that there is no such thing known to international law; there is such a thing as a blockade "without maritime war," but not "without war." The escape of tho Alabama he treats as a violation of international as well as of municipal law. and he denounces her mode of carrying on the w;ar as "barba rous; but Mr. Sumner a doctrine of "conse quential damages" he sots aside, on tho ground so often alleged against it, that no such damages are in a case of this kind capa ble of beiDg ascertained, and the connection of England with them is too "vacue" and uncertain" to be made the subject of iudi- cisl inquiry. England's offense is not an act, but an omission in violation of law. She did not equip end send out cruisers, but fuiled to hinder their equipment and departure, and therefore her fault has only an indirect, and by no means a direct, relation to the depreda tions committed bv the cruisers. As regards the mode of reparation, he treats the idea of cession of territory, which has been talked of, as one which, whatever its merits, no arbitrator could for a moment entertain. If any such cession is mde, it must be made voluutarily by Great Britain, or under compulsion through war. To a formal apology, there is no juridii'nl objec tion. A judge might properly order it to be made, but there is a fatal political objection to it. "A formal coBfession of culpability," he soys, "however praiseworthy in the eyes of morality and justice, is unconquerably re sented by the nation in fault as an act of un worthy weakness. This alone is a sufficient rea:on for our being unable to exact it from the Government of a great power." He therefore decides on "the payment of a sum of money," and a "renewed declaration of principles destined to assure in future re spect for international law, and to guarantee tho practice of justice throughout the civil ized world." Now, would it cot be in the interest of all good causes for the Government at Washing ton, having given up the wearisome worK of proving and enlarging upon, over and over again, the guilt of England, to settle down on this or on some view of its own rights or wrongs fortified by the opinion of neutral jurists, and then nrge it persistently and firmly till the case is settled ? What is gained by delay that ein compensate for the gross injustice of letting the sufferers by. the Ala bama depredations die off without compen sation? THE NEW GERMAN CONFEDERATION. Prom f he .V. 1. Ht-rald. The Franco-Prussian war, whatever be its merits and demerits, has accomplished one great work and made the work nearly perfect. It is only a few years since Austria was reck oned among the second or third rate Powers. In the G vrtflen Diet j&e was 97 ooe of many Powers wLo Lad a right to vote ; her voting powers were on the highest platform; but, although she was equal to Austria in voting right and privilege, her position was, after all, secondary. The Emperor ef Austria was Pre sident of the Diet. The year 1n;u revealed Prussia iu a new character. Id the name of Germany she, along with Austria, drew a Bherp distinction between Germans and Danes, or, if the broader term Is preferreJ, Scandinavians. Poor Austria was blind to the Scbltsvig-Holstein mysteryl and' before the year lsco was ended Anstria was expelled from Germany, the Diet was destroyed, and Prussia loomed np as a power of the first magnitnde.- Badowa marked the commence ment ft a riew era in tht history of Enrope. Noith Germany, willingly or .unwillingly, became from that great day a unity, both in a politiiiil ud military Bent. South Germany rprrr irfo t e Vt rt . mlitiniMv. but. I uu.iiUii'V. iiuooitf, alter baowa, bou.ej iu Foint of fact, mistress of Germany. Sadowa ! righteted France; and, since the treaty of Prague, whi h Napoleon believed he helped to shape, France has been trembling, willing to fight, yet fearful of the consequences. The Luxemburg question revealed French feel ing, but it also revealed French timidity. Prussia was ready for war then, but FranceVas not. It has been manifest to every thinking and reflecting man, since the Treaty of Prague was Bignod, that time only was necessary to bring France and Prussia into open collision. Since that date F re nee has made demands upon Prussia; but every demand has been sot aside. Napoleon fint of all tpoko of the Rhine provinces; but Bitmarck would not listen. lie next spoke about Luxemburg; but Bismarck, knowing his strength, was stubborn as before. Once again France had to yield. France, however, feeling and confessing her inability to meet l'ri'ssia in the field, begins to set her army in order. Marshal Niel did France good service, but the Marshal died, leaving the carrying out of his plans in other hands. The rest is known to every reader of the newspnpors. The Fpanish throne was begging an occupant. Friii), in his despair, after doing his best to please the French people and the French Em I eror, fell upon a German prince who wasnt unwilling to accept the Spanish throne. This Gei men r iince happened to be a Hohenzol lrr a distant relative of the royal family of rnifsiti. This was too much for France to bear. A Geiman prince, anil he a Hoben zolltrn, on the throne of Spain was making Piussia too strong, was a direct insult to Fiance, and was not to be tolerated. Wo all know how Prussia yielded. We all know how the Hohenzollern was withdrawn. But we all know too, that, in spite of Prussian courtesy, France declared war. The results of tho war are before our readers. Prussia has been gloriously triumphant. Franco has been most ignominiously defeated. The Ger man armies are to-day besieging the French capital, and South Germany seeks admission into the Confederation of the North. The result of the whole is that Germany has be come the largest and the most compact na tit nality on the face of the globe. The new Confederation, which will im mediately include no fewer than forty mil lions of souls, and which, when it gathers in, as it must, all the outside Germans on her borders, will number a population of some sixty milliouR, gives us a striking and sug gestive illustration of the new era which has dawned upon the world. The old-fashioned system of small nationalities and many gov ernments is dead, or, if not dead, is dying fast. Up until the time of our American war it was not believed that large territory and large population could be held by one govern ment. Our war made an end of this doubt ing. It was felt all over the civilized world tnat, wnne we naa maae a gigantic leap, we were acting in perfect harmony with the spirit of historical progress. The moral of our war large nations and few Governments was cauglit up in Europe; and Germaay, ua der Prussian lead, has made a bold ami most successful stride in the right direction. In a few months, we cannot say years, Germany will be a unit which will imply a population of some sixty millions. The next great step will be the union of Scandinavia, takinx in Dentiiflik, Sweden and Norway. The step that will follow, if it is not first, will be the unification of the Latin races in Europe. Great Britain is already talking of her difficulty and considering the propriety of a grand fede ral union which w ill embrace all her remote dependencies an arrangement which.if it can be carried out, will secure to her her old po sition as mistress of the seas. The Germans, the Latins, the English-speaking peoples these aro to be the great powers of the future. It is not our business to-day to say which will win, but, remembering the fact that the whole of North America speaks the English toDgue, we cannot help arriving at the con clusion that the time is approaching when there will be only one grand government and one common language, which is more likely to be English than any other. The world situation is so new that no one can tell what a day or an hour may bring forth. SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANIES. gILCURlTY FROM LOSS BY BURGLARY, ROBBERY, FIRE, OR ACCIDENT.
