Critical works oa tho construction of lan guage have' a far more extended eirclo of readers than wou'd be supposed by tho ab-itrnse na't re of the subject. The fact that the two little books betore us have already tone through a number of editions, U th be .t evidence of their need. Thy treat of tho construction of the English language, Its idiom, and the doubtful passages .with which it abound. They are not calculated to plca-io ths general public, but for a scholar and writer they are Indispensably yaluable. We shall keep them always within arm's reach, as they are friends to which we mo't constantly refer. They are published In a neat style, savoring rather of text-books than popular literature;, and are for sale at that em porium of tchool books, the store ol Mersrs. Smith, English 4 Co. Rosbuok: A Novel. M. Doolady, New York. We referrei to this work so.ne weoks since; but as'U Is creating a sensatioa in the Southern States, we may mention it once more. It is ploaeaut in style, interesting in plot, and vio lently treasonable In doctrines. Its author, or rather authoress, if wo c;.n ludgo Irora the toun, Is unknown, and the zest of guessing at the cx ot the writer has tended to increase its popu larity. We have received from the Presbyterian Pub lication Committee, No. 1334 Cbesnut street, a number ol pleasant works for chilJren, among which we may mention a.- particularly accepta ble, both in tone and moral, "What to Do," "Dutch Tales," and "Neir aud' Other TuleV The house has a van collection of Sunday Sjhool works on its shelves. Uurd & Houghton will soon publish, "Six Months at the White House with Abraham Lin coln," by F. B. Carpenter, Iho artist. Some very rare books from the famous library of Count Libn, and other collections, were sold recently in London. Conspieuou in the gathering were some most interesting Shake spearian and old plays. Thee are nearly all accompanied by anecdotes and bibliographical descriptions In the catalogue. Concerning an edition of the Merchant of Venice, bearing date 1652, it is said ."This Is the edition of 1G37, with a new title, a circumstance vhich escaped biblio graphers of Shakespeare for about a contury. The text was printed for Lawrence Hayes, the successor ) Thomas Hayc, or Meyes, who held the copyright. It has 6ome peculiar readings and a lift of actors' names, which list has becu repeatedly erroneously ascribed to Rowe." Of a cop; of the "Rape of Lucrece, printed by J. 3. lor Roger Jackson, 162-1," a curious circum. stance is told. It appears that this copy was "very fine," with the exception of the wood-cut and imprint upon tbe title having been cut out and replaced. While in the hands of a former possessor, who bad a fancy for collecting the wood-cut devices of printers, the piece alluded to was cut from the title, and placed in a volume devoted to such collections; but, after tbe lapse of more than a century, the identical piece was found, and has been replaced. This edition of the "Rape of Lucrece" is of exces6ity rarity, no copy having been in the famous collection of Mr. Daniell, nor in any other which Las occurred for sale of late years. Another feature with "Shake epeiianu" wajs the "Shakespeare Forgeries and Controversy" William Henry Ireland's own collections, tho first lot of which was the original forgeries to "Miscellaneous Tapers under the Hand and Seal of William Shakespeare," and containing, tmon; other make-believes, "a lock ot Anne Ilathaway'a hair 1" Mr. Carpenter, one of our well-known Nev York artists, an enthusiastic admirer and sup porter of President Lincoln, conceived the idea, in the latter part ot 1863, of painting a picture commemorating "the first reading ot the Eman cipation Proclamation before the Caoiut." Through, the late Owen Lovejoy, Speaker Col fax, and two or three New York ftionds, Mr. Lincoln became inteiested in tho project, aud invited Mr. Carpenter to the White House, for the purpose of affording him every facility in studying his subjects from life. The painting of the picture, compiising a life-size group of the President and Cabinet, occupied six months, from February to August, 18(J4, during which period Mr. Carpenter enjoyed constant Inter course with tbe President, as well as the various members of the Cabinet. Among forthcoming books, the English newspapers tell us, one is a Spurgeon icst book, under the title of "Anecdotes and Stories of Rev. J. C. Spurgeon, now first collected and ar ranged." This must not take to itself the credit of being the earliest clerical budget of wit. There was a "Sterne's Convivial Jest?r; or, That's Tour Sort;" and a very favorite volume with our forefathers was "Ecclesiastical Transac tions; or, A Collection ol Reverend Jokes." The subect of tho picture, together wlthlbe circumstances attending the execution of the work, ard tbe death of President Liucoln so Boon after its completion, conspired to give to it an extraordinary degree of interest, mani fested by tbe crowds who thronged to see it duuug tbe time it was on exhibition in different parts of the country. Mr. Carpenter has written cit in detail tho history of his connection with Mr. Lincoln, with which are interwoven various "retnlnU cences" and personal relations, collected and given to the author from time to time by dif ferent Individuals, making a volume ot over three hundred pages. Mrs. Keblo, the wldo of tho poet, begged that her husband's grave might be kept open lor her, as she should not be long apart Iron him. Her apprehension was realized, lor she died- on the 11th of May, at Brooksldp, Bournemouth, in the same house where her husband died. She was in her sixtieth year. Mr, Alexander Smith says ho became a novel leader from reading the denunciations launched aga'utt novels In Todd's "Student' Manual." What ltd him to become a novel writer he has not stated, but it was probably tho fact ot his having outlived his reputation as a poet. Frlederlke Brion, the beloved of GuHhe while he was a student at Strasburg, hi about to wave a monument erected over her crave at Melzenhelm, where she passed the last days of ner we. M. Talne Is said to have abandoned his con i (caplated visit to America. A son and two daughters of the English pas toral poet, Robert Bloomflcld, the author of "The Farmer's Boy," are living in London, old and in destitute circumstances. A subscription it ptopo cd lor their relief. M. Catulle Mondcs.a young French poot.was recently married to Madlle Judith Gautier, a daughter of M. Thcophilo Gautier, a talented young lady who translates from tho Chinese, and writes criticisms on art. M. Emilc Augicr lately had the good fottuno of having five thousand copies ol his ne v comedy, La Contagion, sold on the day of pub lication. Baron James do Rothschild is said to be a book fancier, his library containing forty thou sand volumes aud a great many rare manu scripts. Tie late Sheridan Knowles, the last years of whose life were spent in preaching, left a play In manuscript which will shortly be produced in London. M'me Champsleux has )ust published, under the pseudonym of Andre Leo, a very successful novel entitled "A Divorce." The following review of Theodore TlKon's book for children, entitled "The Fly," we lako lrom the New York Round Tab'.e. The work has not yet come under our notice, but the Rjuni lablels, probably, Justin its critique " Wilting poetry lor babies is evidently Mr. Theo dore Tiliou'swrfe.

YVe ropeat, thor fore, that writing books for baoies Is his forte, aud wo advise him to abandon all bis other 'alors and devote htmselt this speo aity hereafter." to Dr. Holmes, whom wo always thought was a favorite in Kngland, is revie wed in the lat number of the Reader in a way to make his admirers in this country open their eyes: "Mr. Holmes,' the well-known author of .'Tho Autocrat ol tho 13'cakt'ust Tablo,' has collected together a number of shoit pieces, most of wbich we believe had previously seen the light, and has published them is a little volume by themselves, calling them 'Humorous Poems!' We do not think, setting the question of pecu niary compensation aside, that ho His been well advbed in this course. Mr. Holmes is undoubtedly possessed ot con-iderable humor, but we question whether it displays itselt to tho beet advantage in a metrical foim; and pieces which were good enough to pass safely the Irieudly criticism of a Iriendly audiene?, or to lelieve other matter of a dtflVreut kind, show a very difteient iront when viewed with impar tial .eyes, and judged solely on th"ir isolate l merits. Tho aiuhor would have done well to contfitier his own lines, lor ".'Nature sometimes makes one up Ol huoIi tad outis aua ends, It really nvrht l-e quile as well Hu-bed up anion one's friends." "We have already said that it is impossible to aseien a reason loi our adverse opinion in such a matt r as this. The divine fire is wanting. We know thus much, for we are where it proiesses to be, and we feel no genial warmth." The ciitic then becomes a little inconsistent, expressing his surprise at what the author fancies to be fun, what the publisher takes for it, and what tho public give for it, admitting, however, that somo pieces in the volume are calculated to make the dullest grow fat, yet de claring in the same breath that none of the poems rise above mediocrity, and some fall very far below it. He quotas a stanza from one of tho best known of Dr. Holmes's poems: "in days and nights with a eepless eye, 1 watched ihat wretched man; And slneu I never dare to write At luuny as I can." And adds: "I his explains evorytbincr, and mi?bf, if known at tho slatt, ravo ihe tender a word ol troubio ltut the avowal is Letter late than never We to ! that at any rale tho author's heait is in tho right p aoo.

The tamo number of the Reader is very com plimentary to Mr. Bayard Taylor: "With tuet-s and pursuits kindred to those of nshmytou Irviuir and Nathaniel flaw horuj, aud with the tamo stronir love ol the natural boau ies of his native country which aivo la-ciuatiou to the pages of Jan es Foniuiore Cooper, Mr Bvard lav lor here furuinbos m wi n a picture of simple, un strained, inutter-ot fact, cvom day lilo, p aod anionic ttio beautiful hills aud charmtug valleys round about his own couulry home, with every mixture oi wnicli be ciainis tie fami liarity pi au old acquaintance, aud wh oh ne, from the bevmninK to the end of the book, makes the common property of the reader with him elf. 1 ho traditions aud habits ot the people ainonx whom the grea er part ol his lilo ban been passod, tbe rtiBtie oel era, and the lesconds ot the country, in themselves but honeapuu materia s i: a work ot iicuou, iu his hands have ail the charm ot novelty w to which Goldsmith, the greatest master of the school of which Mr. Taylor is au advanced pupil, invented the everyday hie of the family ot the frim roses, till, in their way, 'The jtory of K-unttt' and ''J l e Vicar of Wakelluld' mav be regarded as true pictures oi tho simp e manners and ous.oin of rural inland and America at tbe date in wbioQ the action of either tale is p.aced." Tbe Galaxy tor June 15th will contain the following pleasant sketch of Dore: P4CL GUBTAVE DOttB. The popular Idol of the dtv In the world of art, is I'aul Guittave Dure, the most versatile, the most proiiflo but at the same time one of the most un equal artiste ol modern i ranee. He is the rage in fans, ihe Emperor and Kmprost have granted him the favor ot an impeiial audience, aud have graciously condescended to compliment him on tbe excellence of ht works.

No baman-hnirtod man t nt rejoices at the ais-bt of talont aud industry rewarded, and no oio can deny that Dore has earned bis celebrity (.DO rood fortune by an indus tr ous and mostmnoere application ot extraordinary talents.

Every Sunday he teco ve his friends at an entertainment, from whica all ladies, except his mother, who presides, are rttrtd y excluded. The O.ily reason 1 haveheaid for thi- nnirallant tieat ment ol the sex, an.onjj whom tno arti-t fl ids his warmest admirers, is that Dore is a confirmed o d bachelor, ana does not wls'i to have his peace of mind disturbed . 1,'ke Turner, Doro is accused ot bein more -nary, and of making ar a business instead of a profession. He is certainly sharp at a barratn and exacts a hiirh prico lor in work, liut io his nigh price he irivos good work, and no publisher ever loses by film Tho dtsadvantai'o of a popttlaiity like Doro's Is that it stand in thowa" ol a truo ostimato of his genius. He i almost sure to bo either overrated or underrated Dore l ai not escaped this fate. D iz zied by Ins vorsati fty, h s bnli ancy, and his ori f mailt v in certain kuIss ot h;s art, one class of crit cs, whoso onlyor is adm ration, have already rained him to tho hiirhoat rank amonjr creative ffrtilues, and claim tor htm a seat by the si ieof Miclisol Anyo'o, KnpVael. sbakospoar , I) into, and ilemsr, as an ackuowlexltrod master in the world of imawim tton.

It i, perhaps, true that the popu ar juaitment is inoro often wronir than ripht iu niat'eis ol art, and that the popular poet or ai list oi to-day is seldom the noet or artist for "all time." But. in the ca eof Doro, poou ar Judgmont ).bi pens to coincide with vety omicai opinion. Tho judgment ot l lieophi e Gautior. already quoted, is but an echo ot tho praises showered ucou Dore in fie most cultl a'cd and la-tidious art-circ'os of Tans.

I'to vciatiity ot his gcii'us is without para iel in mo.'ern tines. ' The wance'ing Jew," the "('onto- do Pcrrault,'' "Don Quixote " "Kabelais." Balzac's "Contes Droia tiques." "Bnron Munchausen," Dante's "Iuferno ' anu the Bible, have boon illustrated b him vith such even excellence that critics are unable to decide which work ex; ibits the gteate-t amount of talent. All have to be taken into uccouu'. In tormina an es timate of his pentus. That be is jrreates' m the jro te?quo and hoiribleis probably true.

Us ddlights in horrors, lanto's Hell has more attraction lor b m than tbe t.arden of Kden. enduring nev-r seems to move his pity. Even the sad story ot ' Paolo and Francesca" foils to awaken in mm any teudernesa: he depicts the unhappy lovers sweeping by Danle and his gu'do on the current ot a hot and blading wind, witu noueof that deep pity that made tbe poet turn away and fall to th ground like a corfe. To approbate tho utter heartlessuess of ihe p cture. one bos only to compare it with Ary !-chiller's treatment of the s -ino subject. Ihe same absence ol sympathy and pathos is ousoriabio in the illubtra ions to "Don Quixote." 'Iue piotosquoly comic i arts such as tbe battle with the w inclmili, tho tosMiic of Sancbo in the b anket. the battle witn the wine skins, and others, are conceived and wrought out wi'h truly wonderful po ver. Uut Doro never allows us to pity the unfortunate though chivalno Don, Our laughter never becomes respuotful er sympathetic Wcie tbe work of Cervantes lost, and tlio illustrations only preserved, they would give a very incomplete idea of the character ol Don Quixote ana his Squire.

Another scene, i he waters have r'son up and covered the earth, nnc 1 one solitary, barren poak of rock a'one remains uusubmergod.

A tigress with ber whelps reudcied inoffensive by the supreme perl', shares tbe rock with her children, but takes no notice ot Uiom.

To describe these pictures one by one would re quire not merely an articlo, out a vo.umo almost as large as the liib e who-e leaves we aro turning; and we must pats reluctantly over compositions on which we woulu gladly dwoll at length.

THE NEW YORK PRESS. KDIIORIAL OPINIONS OV LEADING JOURNALS VrON CURRENT TOP JUS. COMPILED EYIfiY'OAY FOB KVKKtKO TELKGRAPH. Mr. Voothecs' Cone. From the 7Vtlftune. Mr. Vooihecs, of Indiana, who, as our readers know, Is not to have a seat in the present House of Representatives, has been consoled for his bad luck by the Hon. Thomas B. Florence (pro fanely called Tom Florence), who has midc a speech to Mr. Voorhees, upon which we con dole with him, and has presented to him "a can6 of very rare wood (value $100 currency), surmounted by a gold head, from a chaste de sign," upon which we ooueratulate him. Tho speech ot the Hon. Thomas has only one fault. It is lust a little too swelling lor the occasion. If Mr. Florence, on behulf of ibe "citizens (white) ot Wafchinpton" had presented to Mr. Voorhees a service ot silver, tea-pot sugar-basin, cream Ititr, and slop-bowl, he could not more wildly have ubaudoucd himself to rne torical tumefaction. It affords a new illustration of tbe art ol sinking, when Mr. Florence has to come down to "a cane." Thomas stiutrtrles inain Rgauist pre-riet-tiiiate bathos by calling the "cane" ' a s'a f," and then by ciilltsi the "statl" a "mute, yet elo quent, and bountiful token ol regard," and hy nflirmhifr that ,t is "a ch tste and artistically de sned and prepnred stall' or cane," the tilt' (lor Thomas m apt to indulge in adjectives) of 1st, "devoted:" 2d, "sincere;" 3d, "earne3t;" and 4th, "last" frieudship. In spite of the melan choly conclusion ol the poet, We aver that friendship like this is somewhat more toan "a name." Friendship, manifested iu this generous and auriferous way, is by no means to be snitl'ed at. And Mr. Voorhees, trr once, appears to have been ol our opinion; tor, opening his mouth, there flowed therefrom a rushing stream of eloquence, whereof the beginning, the mid dle, and the end was that pronoun most resem bling in shape "u statl or cane" tho pronoun I. We have not counted its repetitious: but it is ns clear as dat light to us that Mr. 1). Wi Voor hees (Daniel Webster Voorhees, we take ill does, by no manner of means, think small beer of himself ; that he considers D. W. Voorhec3 as important a character as th old, original Dau'el past-ing the night with the lions. "I accej.t." "I am content." "I therefore think." "1 attribute." "I fervently and acvoutly thank God"' and very handsome it is in Daniel to di It. "I can fay 1 never betrayed a pnrtv." "I entered CunKi'tss." "I determined." "I have lived." And, over and above all, to cheor the despot dine, and confirm the doubtinir, and tlx the waverine. Daniel W. is good enough to say, "1 have faith in the future. " This is decidedly reviving and uncommonly animating. We do not know that it settles ant thing; but still it is pleasant to learn that Mr. Voorhees, with a vai-t deal to make him unnnppy, and ust kicked out of the House of Representatives, can "still cheerfully chant Cheer un, my lively lads. In epite of wind and weather." Tom Florence must have felt decidedly better far this exhibition ot Mr. Voorhees' hilarity, and nave gone back to his editoriul sanctum liko a beery giant retreebed. One ot Mr. Voorhees' thick-coming egotisms is worthy ot particular attention. Tbe country, too mindful of business to need its benefactor, does not know, perhaps, that but lor Mr. Voor hees' interposition, iu spite ot Grant, of S'.ier man, and ot Shciidan, it would long ago have pone to hopeless and irreparable grief. But D. W. V. knows it, and he does nut permit any squeamish mi desty to interfere with his do ng just ce to himselt; and a man with a finer talent for sounding his own horn, we never sa v. never heard, and never read of. "I (Lgoetmea patria) I (D. W. V.) entered Congress bve years ago in the midst of grief and of gloom." Everything wa6, to speak plainly, in a mess. Men and mem bers weie all madder than mad. "They acted," says Voorhees "as if the Constitution had already perished in the storm" or "baleful simoon." as Mr. V, vines it. Now, under these discouraging circumstances, what did the In diana gentlemen do ? Did he betake himself to drink ' Did he run his head into the sand, like an ostrich? Did he expend a portion ot bij official salary in the purchase of a rope? or lottilv pink him'.ell like Cato of Utica? Did he give up the Constitution in despair? He shall epeak lor himscll in his own beautiful lan guage: "On tbe contrary, I lecal'od the suhlimo origin of tl at instrument, the wisdom that framed it. the start ling magmflcenco and plory which it had given our cntntrv in the midst of tbe nations ot the earth, its .ull:cu-ncy in times past for all the purposes of war and of peace; aud I determined that, whatever othors might uo, ou it, and on it alone, I would build the house of my political faith The winds have b-at utouit.the ia ns bare descended, but that house has not iallcn." Dut Dauiel has, we grievo o say, for tho House in which he would have been particu larly pleased to abide has, with signal ingrati tude, cast him firth. Dut still he is cheerful. "Gentlemen," suys he, addressing the douors ot the cane, "tbe Constitution is triumphing." 'I've hxed it," he mirht have added, "and it shall remain a fixture toievcr." it waS leally ciuel to send such a benevolent constitutional carpenter as this buck to private life. From this sublime point of view, the cane, in spite of its gold top, seems to us a sort of moukory. Vooihces saves the country, and he is put off with a windy speech lrom Tom Florence and "a cane" 'rom '"'the citizens of Wushington" Tbos. U. Florence, J. D. Hoover, T. A. Folsoin, and J. W. Clampitt! It's enough to make even Mr. Voorhees give up the bu.-tnebs of saviug constitutions for the rest ot his natural lite. It there were yet some fragment ot the Coufederacy to which ho mieht carry himsell und IT'S genius for constitutional diagnosis, he would not be without high Roman ciumple lor his most natural stampede. And, for all we can tee to the contrary ui his Oration lor tho Caite, he would Do quite at homo in South Caro'ina or Alabama; tor his foelinprs to wards the late Ketifcls are evidently considerate, nud we think wo may say alfcctionute. "t love," lie nmorously observes, "tho peojdn of the South. 1 hail them as American citizens. ThiS.v are a bravo and heroic population as well as we." in short, nobody can read Mr. Voorhees speech without receiving the impression that, in his opinion at leat, the rebellious Ktates have becu damnably iniured by somebody, and era more worthy of Bnlve than severity. He believes that it ws the North which was originally guilty of "dark, premeditatd crime agaiust tho Union," and he hauls poor John Urn n from bis grave to prove it. We certainly shall not attempt to refute his opinion, if it be entitled to thut name. Facts settle the matter the other way. Il'story will eufavo qui e another record. The theory of the Government is not the theory of Mr. Vooihces. The policy oftho Governnuutis not, and canuot bo, without futal cousequences, a policy of ingenious excuse aud amiable ex tenuation. We make no oblection to gentleness, to niTcy, to good nature, when the exprcise of theso does not compromise fundamental principles; but, in the Tinnia of our gallant dead, we motest against any attempt to belittle the caue in behalf of I which they perished, or to ditrnify the cause against which they died contending. We regard the rebellion h a crime. Mr. Voorhees would soften it down to a misdemeanor. We would insure, so far as possible, the future political fidelity ot these who cannot plead a eoud politl cal reputution in the past. Mr. Voorhees is for oblivion and a sort of helter-skelter lubilee af pardon and reftoratlon. Where his heart was duriu" Ihe phsleal contest is bevond a pi-rad-vei ttne-wheie it is now, dining the moral bat tle, e leave the leader to determine. Tfce Crisis In Fnropo The Position of ' Austria From fAe Timet. ' In estimating the situation in Europe soma of our journals look no further than to a parti tioning of provinces between the several powers, to so that what IVuss'.amay lose by ceding Silesia Austria she may pain by the annexation of the Duchies, and Austria rxay be recompensed for the cession of Venetla to Italy by Silesia, and, s some think, by an accession of territory on tho lower Danube. But there arc other and more momentous questions in tho background than tbe matter ot mere population aod terri tory. In regard to I'rdsia, we have already relerred to her desire to become a naval power, and the opportunities to that end she probibly expects to gain by the acquisition of the full control over the Elder and its contiguous terri tory from tho North Sea to the Baltic. As it f with TriiEsia In tho Noith, so with Austria in the South of Europe. It i not alone the habitual obstinacy and proverbial family pride of tbe Hapsbtirgs which make Austria cling so tenaciously to the posses sion of Vent tia. There enter into this tirtnnss motives ot policy and statecrait as patent with Austrian statesmen as the dj ire lor Prussian aggrandizement is with the statesmen of Pr.issia. And it may as well bo said that all the smaller Mates of Southern Germany seem to tudge that their own interests lie in tbis pol cv of Austria. It will be remembered that, atter the rapid ani serious duleats of the Austrians In Italy, in 1K9, and before the last at Soltermo, the present Kbiaf of Prussia, then Prince Regent, enthusiastically declared that Germany must be defended against Franco on the banks of tbe Mmcio, and that he begun to give lorce to this declaration by ex tended armaments and the mobilization of the entire Prussian army. It will also be remem bered that the whole of Gel many with one ac cord applntidcd this declaration and unan'mou'ly prepnred lor war, and it was this attitude of the German powers that prompted Napoleon hastily to conclude the peace ol Villalrinca with his proclaimed work but half done. It was no mere bentimental rhapsody that rl'ured . the Geinmus into delend ing Austria on the Mincio; it was the recoileclion of that here aitary axiom of Get man politics hereditary lrom the time that there exiited a Germany in mime tha', the valley of the Adtgo and the passes ot Southern Tyrol are tho key to the heart ol Germany, and lor her own security and protection must i.o and forever remain In the hands ot a German power. This bus tor centu ries been thought necessary, with Italy divided into many separate aud contending States and principalities. There was certainly some truth in the a'gu ment of the present Napoleon, that with apo wer lul Italian kingdom, the security of France de manded possession and eoutrol by her of the pusseH on tbe Alps, aud thus he justified the acquisition ot Savoy aud Nice. And it is not the less true that it was tho like consideration, so long regarded ns Imperative tor the pro tection ol Germuny, which, in the peace of Villalrunca, made Francis Joseph deny to Italy the boundary of the Mincio, and reserve tj him self the control ot 'he passes north through tho Tvrolese Alrts. It is true that ou behulf ot Italy, the powerlul plea rt.ay be interposed, that she, in centuries past as well as now, needed far greater security aiainst attacks from the North than Germany did against attacks from hor; it is true that she can support this plea with countless referei ccs to history, proving that the sending of army after army from Germany into Italy through these very passes, in lurtuerance ot the policy of the German fcmperors, contri buted luigely to the chronic disorder and im poverishment of the whole peninsula, and that therefore she oucht to have the undisputed aud undisturbed possession , of the whole north of Italy, not to threaten an attack, but to bo forti fied againbt one. Hut, then, Austria may reply, that if once de prived ot the present cordon of toititied posts, the Tyrol uot onl, but the whole of Cariutbia, Illyria, Stjria, aud all her o her southern pos sessions are, through the many mountain pass 'S and gorges, that all lead soudiward, constantly opened to attack. We have lately seen in a Vienna paper, the Wanderer, we believe, another lutim-itiou of what troubles tbe minds of Austrian statesmen. With Venice and its territory secured to Italy, there is no prorai.-e that other more or less Ita lian possessions of Austria would not be coveted. Thete were, tn tunes of Venetian power, all dependencies of the grand republic. There is the District of Trie te, the "Himnarlan' Lltto rale, with Fiume and Dulmatia, with Zara for i ts capital and principal port. In lact, these provinces woald, io the Aus trians seem to fear, oi necessity gravitate towards the great Italian kingdom, to which, by descent, language, redgion. and the traditions of past centuries, they feel themselves attractol, anl Austria, in no very loug time, would become totally separated from the Adriatic. Sho would then bo an inland powor, like Bavaria. Wurtein berp, or Saxony, and of no more lutluence or consequence than the three united. The Aus trian political leaders, therefore, put to them selves tbe qpstion Could the Dossestion ot the w hole of Roumnnia. with Bosnia added could even the possession of the mouth of the Danube, witn its adjacent coast on tbo Euxine com pentato Austria lor such loss of prestise, posi tion, and power r They th'nk not. Moreover, in tbe disposition to be made of the Danubian Principalities the old question de Portent comes up aenin, in regard to wQicb Rnssia puts lorth ponerlul claims to be heard and heeded. Russia, to bo true to her Oriental policy, per sistently adhered to by her since the time of her great Peter, will never allow a power I ke Aus tria to be wedged in bet ween herself and the Bosphorus. Beside0, the Roumanian people are sure to have something to i ay about it. nor will Tin key be entirel.v silent. So thut while Austria will certainly uot purt wiih what she has in bund fur what it is very uncertain she may ever g(t or be able to return; and whiln, even if this be certain, fhe has s'rong reasons to de cline tbe burgt.iu as being uutair and no recompense for her loss aud the danger Bbe may incur, it is lille to speculate about a Uuro penn C'ongrtss beimr able to reconstruct the map ot Lurope bv pai celling out a province here to this ami a province tbero fo that power. Only th" irreversible lesults of war can accomplish nbtu this proposed Congress is (.aid to attempt. In addition, Austria's internal condition is rut h that she mey gain much in chsh ot war. Her finances are in u desperate state. Iu war, find when almon li ul f ol Continental Europe is in arms against her, tho people of Auntria will bear aiy burden imposed upon them in the interest 'of the defense of the empire, and even national bankruptcy would not bo so severely cit. The different nationalities comprising the empire would tbi the time lav aside their ani mosities and jealousies and unite in the support ol a common ca' se. We have not at till attempted to gtve in the above a defens of the position of Austria. We intended only to introduce out readsrs to the current of thought that agitates the rulers of Austria and of her allies in Germany. As there rre two sides to every quarrel, wo thought it proper to give evry side of it a hearing. The Pi esfde ill's Proclamation British, and American Neutiality. From the Herald. President Johnson's proclamation to preveut any "unlawful expedition and enterprise from the territory and jurisdiction of the United States, aud to maintain, the public peace aa well as the national honor, ad enforce obedience aud respect to the laws of the United States,' which is aimed at the Fenian movement oa Canada, has created no little excitement. Tiiia action of tbe President i commented upon very freely by all classes, some condemning and. Other approving it, w hlle those opposed to the administration gladly seize the opportunity, without any regard to the piiuclplo involved, to condemn Mr. Johnson.
