The Beginning of the War-Remarkable Despatch from Count Bismark Terrible Denun ciation of Austrla-The ,r' Monetary Crisis In England, Etc.. THE IMPENDING WAR. The linemen. Tbe London Daily JVete surveys the field of hostilities as follows: "The Prussians have crowed the Eider, and the Autrians nave fallen back. Bv this means the Kino, secures trie means of exercising the sovereignty to which he lays claim in Hohitein, and puts it out of the power ol the Emperor to hinder him. If, then, the publicists correctly define war as thatstatd in which we prosecute our i iebt by (orce, tbe war has begun, although not a shot ha been fired. It haM been semlofllcially announced at Vienna, that Austria will breas oil' diplomatic relations with Prussia as soon as the King has recalled his plenipotentiary at the Federal Diet. It is stated that M. Drouyn de Lhuys has addressed a circular note to the' representatives ot France at the German Courts, in which he requests them to impress upon the middle and minor States the importance of remaining completely neutral in the event of hostilities between Austria and lTnssia. a fracas between austrian and prussian , troops. On account of the vpry serious fracas between Prnesian and Austrian Iroops, in the neighbor hood of Kiel, that city and its vicinity have been divided into two districts, one of which is exclu sively tor the Prussians, the other lor the Aus trians. If, in matters of service, a soldier is obliged to go into the "enemy's" territory, he most have a permit to do so. A Prussian marine soldier, who died from wounds teceived in the light, has been buried at Kiel with great so lemnity. From Rendsbure there are also reports of "rows." and even bloodshed, between the allied armies quartered in the barracks at Neu werk. PRUSSIA. REMARKABLE DESPATCH FROM COUNT BISMARK. The lollowing has been sent by Count Bis mark to the Prussian representatives abroad: "1 have already communicated to your Excel lency, at a former period, the despatch I ad dressed upon the 7th ot last mouth to the King's Ambassador in Vienna, in reference to Count Mensdorff's note of April 2(1, upon the question of the Elbe Duchies. I purposely selected for that communication the lorm ot a confidential statement, not intended to be conveyed in copy, because experience has taught me that a real understanding is not promoted by the exchange of documents, which are wont Immediately to obtain publicity, and because it was the ilrst wish of the Ktn'e's Government still to offer or leave open to the Vienna Cabinet the possibility of an approach. "We had also, at first, cause to asurne that this step of ours would be appreciated at Vienna, and fudging from his remarks to Baron von Werther, Count Mensdorff seemed to have per ceived in it such a possibility. Indeed, the tenor of our communication, wherever it transpired, was looked upon as a symptom of cordial feeling increasing hopes in the preservation ot peace. "We have waited In vain lor a reply, or even for a mere expression of the Emperor's Ambas sador upon the subject. ... " We are forced, on the contrary, to consider the declaration delivered by the Austrian Gov ernment at the Federal Diet at Frankford uu the Main, on June 1, as the auswer to our con ciliatory overtures. In that dec aratni:, after a retrospective statement at variance with tficts and offensive to Prussia, Austria hands over to the Diet the dcciMon upon the Sculeswig-Hol-stem question, and at the same time gives notice ot an act of sovereignty in Holbein, viz.: tbe Convocation of the Estates which she is not entitled to undertake single-handed, Irotn the moment when she released herself from the Gantein Treaty, by relerence to the Diet, and thereby substituted the old relation of the co possession lor the recent geographical division. "We have already protested at Vienna a?ainct this unjustifiable and oue-sided act, a3 against the equally unjustifiable disposal of our rights by handing them over to the Diet, and reserve to us to take further steps. "But first I cannot reirain from declaring that in this proceeding of the Austrian Government we are unable to perceive anything but the in tention of a direct provocation, aud the desire forcibly to bring about a breach and war. "All our information neree9 that the determi nation to make war upon Prussia is firmly set- t.ed at Vienna. 'I may cooOdentially acquaint your Excel lency, by his Matestj's desire, that, at the time when we addressed the comrluitory communi cation above mentioned to Vienna, the King, actuated by the duty of preserving peace as long as possible, readily listened to a proposal for direct understanding made from an impartial quarter at Vienna, and first communicated to his Majesty, without the participation of the Ministry, in order to ascertain whether his Ma jesty the Emperor of Austna was still actuated bv the wish of maintaining peace. The pro posal was to treat the Schle wig-Holstein and the Federal Reform questions in common (soit'd arisch), and by this connection to facilitate the solution of both. The negotiations, sup poited by the most conciliatory desires ou tbe part of the Bid tutors, have, as his Majesty inlorms rue, ouly demonstrated that a corresponding leeling no longer exists at Vienna. ;They have shown, notwithstanding ' the Emperor's theoretical love of peace, that craving for war dominates every otber considera tion throughout his entire Council, even anioiz those who, to our knowledge, formerly voted against the war, and eveu serumst the prepara tions and armaments, and that this craving has now also gained decisive influence over the Em peror himself. Not ouly was tueer manifested an entire absence of all aud every readiaess to enter even Into confidential negotiations, and to ' discuss the possibilities of an agreement, but expressions ot influential Austrian statesmen and councilloro of the Emperor have been re ported to the King lroni an authentic source, which leave no doubt that the Imperial Minis ters desire war at anv price, partly in the hope of succes ses in the field, partly to tide over do mestic oithculties nay. even with the expressed Intention of assisting the Austrian finance- by Piussiun contilbutions, or by an "honorable" bankruptcy. "The acts of the Austrian Government coin cide only too accurately with this intention. "I have mentioned above that we are com pelled to recoenize a direct provocation In the di-rifiratinn Slivered at the Diet. It has only one meaning: that if the Vienna Cabinet intends to tallow it nn immediateivlwith the expressed breach, for it cannot have expected that we should tamelv submit to this attack upon our riuhts. In nnnthpr nnesiion the forced loan ordered in Venetla, which impresses a sting of additional riiiterness upon circumstances, uu wo that Austria will only make use ol tbe extremest means tow ards Italy also. Corresponding with this are the reserves with which, according to the information received here, she accompanied her answer to the invitation to the Conference, and which, as we hear, are understood by al the thiee powers as equivalent to a refusal. "Alter the form of the invitation had, by ne gotiation between the inviting powers, oeen expressly so drawn up that Austria should be able to accept it without commtttioir herself to anything in advance, and without being corn veiled to make rmxven, it w precisely the Vienna Cabinet that renders all these labors futile. "Behind this we can only see the decided In tention upon the part of Austria of forcing on war with Prussia, and of, at most, making use ol negotiations as to the Congress to gain time by procrastination for her own not entirely completed arrangements, but especially for those of her allie. The tact ot war Is a settled determination at Vienna; the only further point is to cboose tbe favorable moment to bee in. "This conviction is forced upon us with Im perative necessity by the most recent facts, aud we consider that only an Intentionally prejudiced view can come to an opposite conclusion. Facts now speak too loudly lor gosip based solely upon conjectures, combinations, falsely inter preted statements, and empty rumors as to the warlike longings of Prussia not to d Indie into nothingness in comparison. Perhaps we shall at lust" be believed when we solemnly protect againBt any notion of wishing to make good our claims to the Duchies by force, and with disre gard to the rights of the copossessor. Now, too. f robahly it will not be diUicult to understand he real motives of the armaments by which Austria has given rise to the present crisis, and whose removal by means of Congress she has lurther taken care to render impossible by the attitude she has assumed. . "We may appeal with a calm conscience to the judgment ot all impartial statesmen, a to which party has displayed conciliation and love of pease up to ibo latest moment. "1 respectfully request your Excellency to ex press yourself in the sense of this despatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Court to which vou are accredited. Bismark. "Berlin, Juno 4." Regarding this despatch The Times remarks: "Such a despatch as that lust addressed by Count Bismark to the Prussian representatives abroad has not often been penned by a European Minister. The Prussian statesman seems now to think courtesy unnecessary in his comnunica- tious with Austria. All the pride, the bitter hostility, the almost fanatical purpose which have been necessarily repressed during long negotiation, break lorth when the negotiations may be considered at an end." The troops of Klntr William have orders to occupy Kiel, Rendeburg, and Ittehoe all of the important j oints ot the Utithy ot tlolstein. Uu their entry the Kalik Brigade, under the Aus trian General Von Gsbfenz, will probably re tire, after a formal protest, and cross the Elbe into iianover. where it win loin the main arm v. under Marshal Benedict The London lelearaph regards this ousting of Austria lrotn the Duchy as a f air casus belli. The Princes of the royal family of Prussia nave, as has already been announced, received and departed for their various commands in the Prussian army. The Princes ot the house of Hapsburg have also gone to their respective stations, as follows: The Archduke Leopold. commanding the Eighth Army Corps, has goue to his headquarters In Auspitz, Moravia; the Archduke Krnst, commanding the Filth Corps, tor his headquarters in Brunn. The Archduke William, Inspector-General of Artillery, will also reside in this city. The Archduke Albert is in command at Venetia. The King of Prussia, it is said, will take command of the' Prussian army, and the Emperor ot Austria will go to Prague it the war breaks ont. Thus it is not merely two nations, but ulmost two royal fami nes, that are meeting each other on the battle field. Aggregation of the Element of a Taut War Italy'" Haaxsri aud I in pat (once CoaaervatlHin of tne Ueriuan Feole. From the London Times, June 0. In one quarter any delays of the Ger man powers are likely to excite impatience and indignation. Iiely has given herself up so com pletely to a warlise policy that it would be im possible for the Government to stop the people, and difficult lor the people to stop themselves. We know not what secret understanding there may be bi twecn Prussia and Italy, whether any thing like a convention has been arranged, and, it so. what form it has assumed. But virtually an alliance has been concluded, and Italy will not jail to urge upon the Prussian Government the expediency ol immediate war. Italy can now only see safety in such a course. Her levies are so laree. her expenses so enormous in proportion to her means, the enthusiasm of the people has been so roused, such multitudes ot men have flocked lUo the army, that to return to a state of political quiet and expectation would, In the opinion ot Italian politicians, be equiva lent to national ruin. With her, to draw back would be fatal, while to stand still and allow the country to be crushed by a war expendi ture is impossible. The "revolution," to use the Contweuiul pbiase, has been called to the aid ot the Italian Government; and this same revo lution is a spirit which Is not easily laid when r, has once been summoned, we may then ex nect to find the Prussian Government exposed to tbe stioncest solicitations of its ally, aud Italy, peinaps, committed to a struggle by some rush' act ot tbo-e whom she has summoned to her banner. It Is, announced that the King was immediately to arrive in Florence, and that Gen. Ciuldini was also to be there. Coun cils of war will bo doubt follow, and Italy will take her chances in attacking her enemy with or without tne neip ot an ally, but it Austria remains on the defensive, those who attack the Quadrilateral will have no easy task. Some' tli in it more than zeal and patriotism is requisite to turn a strong army out ot such a position. If any gleam appears on the dark horizon It is to be touud in the temper and behavior of the Prussian and other German populations. The Kinir ot Prussia and his Minister may well hesi tate when they see w hit misery they have cause! and what a spirit may soon be roused. The con senptiou presses with tremendous severity ou the Prussian people. The country, though richer and more lndusmous than formerly, has not in creased in population to a degree which will admit of such euormous gatherings of men. The army which is actually in the tiel I is said to amount to two buudred and eighty thousand fiahvlntr men. with hit v-Ave thousand accessor nes. There are one hundred and ten thousand depot troops and one hundred and twenty thou- suiidur tne nrst pan oi tne i,anawenr in gam sons. In times of enthusiasm like 1813 these calls for flesh and blood may be answered without unwllliugness; but a war to please a minister, or even to gain a seacoast and a tine harbor, must not make too great de' mauds. The requirements of the State have now been beyond all bounds. A population of less man nineteen millions is expected to sup port an army of more than halt a million of men on active service. To make up the number, the clerk is taken from the counting house, the tradesman from his shop, and the peasant from the field. Women aie everywhere performing more than their usual share of the hard and coarse work ot the world. An act of hostility on the part of Austria, such as the entrance of Marshal Benedek into Prussian territory, might mane tue peopie rorpei tnese hardships in hatred of the enemy, but at present tbe discos tent is chiefly with their own Government. Not until the enemy has struck a blow will the King have a really zealous and warlike army. As Ions as peace is preserved there is the nossibilitv that this disposition of the Prussian people may nave some influence upon ine ministerial noiicv, The middle States, which have not yet given up hopes of reconciliation, are, no doubt, encour aged by this disinclination for war to persevere in tneir enorts. Their own limited power, bow ever, and the cumbrous machinery of tbe Con federation, are likely to interpose great obsta cles to eneciive action. With tbe abandonment of the Conference the efforts of the neutral powers have naturally come to an end; though, if there were to appear anv chance or resuming profitable negotiations. U would, doubtless, not be neglected. Ever power Is interested In checking a war wnico niay spread over the greater part ot tne conti nent Even distant Ppain aud Portugal think it necessary to take measures for insuring their neutrality. As regards central and southeastern r.urope the prospect is Bloomy enougn. jvt are the outlying portions of the Turkish empire yet to secure that we can afford to dispense with the supervision and guardianship that the great powers have exercised. If those powers are CDgaged in war an ambitious empire like Russia may attempt a return to a policy that has only been temporarily abandoned. Thoueh we cannot it ins: it rgni inai me neuirai 5ia.ien bu muu further Interfere with the belligerents, they might take counsel together for the benefit ot ihe rest of Europe, and use their Influence to prevent any ambitious power from turning the general confusion to account. Merlon Riot In 5t nnlch. From the Dublin ( Ftening) Mail. Jane 9. The people of Germany, though proverbially slow of movement, are becoming greatly ex cited as the prospect of war approaches. M. Seinguerlet, the correspondent of the Paris "ltmvs. who. from his Knowledge ot wermany. is well qualified to give an accurate representa tion ot the popular sentiment, writes as ioiiowb from Heidelberg, nnderdate of Jane 6: "For some days past the Bavarian capital has been the theatre of riotous scenes. Deplorable ex cesses have been committed by the populace. Tbe Lsndwebr have used their arms, and blood has been shed. At first the popular passions were directed against eouie beer shops. In the midst of wild cries stones were (lung against these (hops, the windows and shutters broken, and the furniture destroyed. The day belore yesterday the shops ol the butchers, bakers, and the bouses ol come Jews were at tacked. Officers and sendarrncs were maltreated. Showers of stones were flung at the Landwehr, who tired on tbe people. One man was killed and twenty wounded. This ferment has been attributed to the intimate relatione which exist between the King and Richard Warmer, but those relations have had nothing to do in pro ducing it. The r'ot is in no way connected with politics, but it is an evidence of the revolutionary feeling which possesses the people beyond the Rhine. The Ultramontane party, who arc workine heaven and earth to make the young King unpopular, and to force him to abdicate, will take advantage of these deplorable street riots to gain their end. "in rrussia, where aun.uuu umiues nave been deprived of their means ot support, discontent is increasing in proportion as want is extending. Already national workshops, like those of Paris m Dave been organized for the purpose ot finding employment for the people. Hunger is a bad political ccouomist, and as a new proof of this oome tl.ousand of the Berlin working- men held a meeting outside the walls, in which thev clamorously demanded the expulsiou ot loreien artisans. In tbe provinces numerous coiitllcts have taken plaee between the men of the re.' erve and their officers. At Cologne an officer who tried to arrest a man belonging to the Land w her, who had not saluted him, was pelted by the market women with potatoes, carrots, and cabbages, and forced to take refuge in the guard-houre. Similar scenes have occui red in various other places. Tbe antago nism between the iroops ol the line, who are lor war, and the Landwehr, who are for peace, is vefy marked. The threats of war have thrown tbe whole population between Landau and Co logne into a leveribh excitement. The report of tbe tale ot the coal mines of Saarbruck. which has never been boldly denied; the withdrawal of almost all the iroops, and the unscrupulous character of Count Bismark, have raised the suspicion among the people that they are to be transferred lo France. The agitation which begun in Rhenish 11 esse has rapidly spread along the whole Rhine. The anniversary ot the restoration of the province to Germany has been celebrated in the smallest hamlets. A National Defense Committee has been formed at Franken- thal, and numerous meetings have been held at Neustadt, Bmgen, lpgelheim, etc. Energetic protests have been made against tbe possibility of dismemberment, and a ireneral arming of the people has been demanded." Tbe German Cutttoma Untie Daring War Berlin June 6) Correspondence of the London Times. The mercantile commuuity will do well to pre pare lor the virtual dissolution of the Zollverein during tne war. under the zonverein treaties the duties are levied by each Stale on its fron tier, the sum total being subsequently portioned out according to a fixed ratio; but it is improba ble that if Saxony, Wurteniburg, and Hesse side with Austria, Prussia will reerurd the payment ol duty to these States as sufficient to secure the admission of merchandise into her territory. In an liKcimood tue Prussian custom House cm cers will have to follow in tbe wake of the array, and will declare the Zollverein frontier to be identical with t lie shifting position of their military lines. However, as the German people have been too Ions accustomed to the incalcu lable advantages ot the Zollverein to do without it, it is to be expected that, whatever territorial divisions be brought about by the war, the com mercial union, at least, will be so renewed as to include the greater part of Germany, tf not, as now, nearly the whole.

The first of tbe Fenian invaders who made or attempted no concealment of his objects, was captured to-day ur.on the arrival of the tender from the City of New York, when that vessel opproacnea ineuarnoron her homeward voyage. une or i ue pa'&engers, Kicnard yulnn, who is a shoemaker when pot employed in military affairs, requested the captaim t steam directly into Oueenstown, ts he had particular business there, rue captain ouiected, as be hud to go on to Liverpool, and suggested that the tender might answer as well, yulnn at first was di posed to dissent from this view, but when the tender came alongside be announced himself satisfied. As soon as sbe was fast bv the vessel, he jumped od board her, and pulling out, theatrically, a Fenian flag, waved it over nis nead, and completed the ta bleau by brandishing a pistol. A Biiierle detective. however, who was on board, came forward and arrested him. The valiant Fenian made no at tempt at resistance, but as soon as he saw the policeman approaching him he flu us the uistol over the side. When thp tender landed he wag searched, and there were found upon him. be sides the pretty piece of silk he had been flour- leu in g, a dagger and a revolver. His banner was about a yard long by two feet wide, of green silk, with a white cross, around which was a circle, half of which was composed of sham rock, and the other half was made up with the inscription, "in hoo signo cncts." Quinn was committed to Bridewell at Queens town, and will be examined to-morrow. THE MONEY CRISIS. HMif a. (Sir Morton) Feto and BctU-The Atlantic nl Great Went tern Railroad and JanaeM Sfellenrjr.

The creditors were assured that there was every prospect of a rapid realization, since it was not proposed to delay tbe liquida tion for the sake of waiting for full prices, and that the payment of every claim with interest at an early date might be considered certain. All the contract in which the firm are en- gaped In England are held conjointly with other parties, Messrs. Kelk, Messrs. Luca, and Mers. Waring, who have undertaken their completion, while those in foreign countries are either secured or involve only small amounts.
