The commander -of the steam cutter Bix Decembre, belonging to the Electric Telegraph 'Company, and which was about to sail from Toulon to Alaccio, to lay down the electric cable between Corsica and the Saneuinaires Islands, bos (June 12) suddenly leceived counter orders. He is to- enter the new commercial port of Toulon to take on board twenty-two thousand yards of electric cable, manufactured at the works there on account nt the Italian Govern ment. By further instructions the captain of the Dix Decembre ia bound to sail wiihin three days, and to lay the cable across the entrance to the Straits ot Bonifacio, in order to establish a com jnunicatlon between Italy and the Island of Sardinia by Leghorn, Genoa, and Corsica, to be completed by the 15th of June. Unemployed capital is (June 12) rapidly accumulrling in Paris. The cash in the bank ot France increased in a week by above 39,000, 400t., and exceeds 600.000,0o0f. a larger sum than any recorded since its establishment. Such a Mason has seldom been seen iu Paris, and mercantile men say that it is equally dangerous to be too confident or too timid. Commercial bills discounted have decreased since the heavy payments on the 1st of June by 59,000,000'., and the bank notes in circulation by 41,000,0001. The Cowrier (leMarseiUe st&tts that the French Minister oi Marine has or lered four additional iron-coated steam frigates to he prepared ior sea. These are the Gvyenne and Saooie at Tou lon, , and the Valeureuse and Magnanime at Brest. The number ot iron coated frigates at sea will thus be increased from eleven to tit- teen. It is added mat several gunboats are "being prepared for sea at Brest and Toulon. A decree has been issued in Paris approving the regulations proposed by the Imperial Com mission for the exhibition of 1867, with reference to the nature ol the prizes for successful exhibi tors and the.compocitioa of the juries by whom they are to be awarded. The Paris Moniteur announces that precau tionary measures have beeu adopted oy the French Government in consequence of the cases ol cholera which have receutly occurred in Djedd ah and Mecca. The elections in Belgium have terminate i. and have resulted favorably to the Government. The Ministerial majority in the Senate, which was previously eight, is now twelve, and in the House of Representatives it was before the elec tions twelve, and is now eghteen. Tne Lank of Spain, in Madrid, has come to an arrangement with Messrs. Rothschild tor the payment ot the interest ol the external debt for th past half year. The Government has longed with the bank a certain amount in hypothecated notes. In the debate upon the budget of the Ministry otWartn Cortes, Marshal O'Donnell expressed an apprehension that 1806 would not pass with out fcpain having to defend her territory. A forced circulation has been declared tor the notes t the Bank of Sarau-OHsa. The cholera has unmistakably broken oat at Stettin, and carried oif twelve victims in three days. The cattfe plague has made its appearance at Fleury, near Verviers, in Belgium, in the imme diate vicinity of the Prusnan frontier. The paseiort system has again been intro duced along the Sw'ihs frontier. THE WAR CRISIS. ('unplete niliiiHtie Kuptare Between iamrlit and FrnHNln I' be Austrian Mtnlater to Lave Uerlto Difficulty of The Hluor Mwie of Utiruiauy. From the London Timet, June 13. The diplomatic rupture between Prussia and Austria Is now complete. Yesterdav, Count Karolvl. the Austrian Mlu'stcr at Berlin. ask?d tor his uassnortB. and he will leave Berlin, with all the legation, to-day. Such a consummation was to be expected, after the correspondence which .has pusscd between the two Gov ernments during the last few days. The despatch of Count Blsmark went beyoud every such document we have ever read in discourtesy. Invective, and provocation: and It has been rephed to by Count Meusdortf in a more guarded stvie. nut in language whicti shows offended pride and unconquerable resolu. tion. Tho Austrian Minister tor Fereien Atfairs makes a solemn protest against tha proceedings in Hnlutoi.i on1 tho statements bv which it has been attempted to lustily thein. lie decliues all responsibility for the consequences, and declares ihut lor months Prussia has taken uo a position which endangered tho former settlement. In conclusion. Count Mensdorff reserves to the Imperial Government the right of taking such steps as may be found necessary, since uotbinar remains lor Austria but to defend her honor and pnard her rights from contemnt. Viewed bv the light shed on it by this despatch the recall of Count Karolvl is an event ot grave imnortance. It not only puts an end to negotta tion, but even to communication. It would seem to show that Austria will not wait to be actually attack td, but looks upon the breach oi the Convention as an act of war, which lustlSes her In retaliating at any point and with all her j ttreneth. Prussia was, it is said, about to send an ultimatum to Vienna; but Vienna has anti cipated any such missive. Oi course a diplo matic rupture is not necessarily followed by war, and it is still possible that the two powers may remain in that sullen state of inactive enmity called a suspension of relations. But It would be an excess of hopefulness to expect such forbearance in the present case. The tone of the two powers denotes anythiug but pas-ive n friendliness. They bave defied each other too fiercely, and have made preparations too formidable for them to be content with an armed peace. Austria, particularly, has every reason to cherish the desire of vengeance. Hhe has seen her position threatened and her rltrhts invaded In Germany, and she also knows that an implacable enemy behind her has been roused into action by Prus sian intrigue. The Emperor catinov reflect with out bitterness on what is parsing in Holstein. His troops occupied the Duchy last week under a convention only a few months old. Uu the pretense that this convention is annulled, the rrussians nave entered uoistciu in lorce, ami with a purpose which the atlecwd leeality and moderation of their General's utterances have not made lees formidable. The Austrian Government has been convinced that only a retreat could save its troops from capture or destruction. General Gablenz has received orders to withdraw. Tho whole Aus trian torce abandons the Duchy, which will now pass completely into the hands oi the Prussians. How these are prepared to use their power may bo learned from tne proceedings of General Manteutlel. On Monday the Hobtcin estates, which had met at Itzehoe, were dispersed by his orders. Thus cuds the reign of law and consti tutionality, and the Schleswig-Holsteiners behold King Stork firmly enthroned. Herr Lesser, the Holstein Government commissioner, is trrested and sent to Rendsbure ; Ilerr Hoff mann, the Austrian Civil Adlatus, retires pre cipitately, and the work of conquest is complete. From this time forth the Duchies, tor which German princes and patriots were ready to con vulse Europe, may be considered as forming part ot the Prussian monarchy. Count Bis mark has so far gained his enas. He has used first the people of the Duchies, then the Gov ernments ot the minor German States, and lastly, the Kaiser himself lor bis purposes, and has at the very outset accomplished the object which he has all along proposed. It is a great victory; but the more complete and conspicuous it is the greater is finely to be toe lrr taiion of the Austrians. They cannot conceal from themselves that tbey hav been really driven out of the country, It is said, and the proclama tion of General Gablenz seems to con tirm it, that orders had beeu first sent from Vienna trom the Austrian force to maintain its posi tion, but to avoid tiring tne tarst shot. To this the General replied that resistance was impracticable, that the Prussians were vastly more numerous, and that the Austrian force must be sacriticedor withdrawn.upon which he received ordeis to retire. "The forces at my command," says General Gablenz in his procla mation, "are not suflicieut to otler resistance to a hostile attack lroui a German power which ha hitherto oeeu our ally. 1 am not in a posi tion to protect the right with my small force. Following the Emperor's orders, I yield to supenor numbers and leave the country." If this proclamation speuks the spirit of the Auslriuns, we cannot but fear that it will be foil wed by some act of retaliation. The Em peror, who has shown himself so little inclined to bear any slight, is not likely to bear with patience that bis troops have been hurried from their positions by an invading enemy. In tne meantime, the minor 8 ates ot 'he Ger man Conlederntlon have to make up their minds as to the part they will take. Prussia ha given notice to the Northern States that if the propo sition just made by Austria be adopted to-morrow, it will deem the Confederation to be dis solved, and act on consideration of military ex ncdicucv alone. This probably mean i t liar, re lying ou its strength, the Prussian Government will a-seit a rlntit ol transit or oecupation with retard to the territory oi its neighbors, and will not hesitate to make use ot tneir resources, Should war not be averted, the day ol trial tor the minor German sovereigns will have come, They may then fudge of the wisdom of their incitements to the Schleswig-Holsteiners in 1804. The proposals tor a relorui of the Contedera . - i a i i r i 1..1- .: . u lion set iorm oy rrussia arc muo ii&riy iu uo discussed at such a moment. If there be a great war it wiil very effectually relorui Germany lor good or evil; but whether it will leave the King ot Havana aa a joint commander m-cniei wim tho Kine ot Prussia may be doubled. The whole country is now hushed in exoectation ot the first cannon shot. Armies more numerous and complete have seldom been arrated against each other. According to trustworthy esti mates the Austrian army will number not far from 350,000 men, while the Prussians have 280,000 in the field, with a reserve ot 60,000 between Berlin and the Saxon frontier. Ol the probabilities of the campaign it would be pre sumptuoub to speak, but no one ought to be surprised it Austria now bwikcs a dio v. sne tnav consider thit both her honor and her inte rest bid her delay no longer. She is fnllv prepared, and a victory over Prussia miahf decide the fate of the war. Much must depend on tne nse which Field Marshal Benedek is able to make of the Saxon territory. Should be be able to operate from so excellent a base of operations against the level country of Prussia, he will nave important and almost deci sive advantages, on tne otner nano, tne Prus sians, even though tbey should prove to ba in ferioror in numbers, and even thoueh their hearts may not be in the war, will be fighting for their home agaiust an invading enemy, and will. doubtless, do their part manfully. The coldest uiil be severe, but vie trust it will not be prolonged. Anv day nownnav bring us weighty intelligence. Great events are at band; and we, having done our part, muBt be content to loon on in suence. i The Prnaslan Preparations. ANTI-WAR AGITATION AN ARMED MAN RUSHING ON THE KINO.

From the London Times, June 18. The teleerams Irom Italy last evening an nounce the arrival of General Garibaldi at Ctoio. The Intelligence could hardly be more portentous. Garibuldi at Como Is on the very theatre of his most brilliant exploits of former days. Whenever the Ital'ans took the field against Austria, as in 1848 and 1859, tne first aim ot their guerilla leaders was the occupation of that Southern Italian Tyrol, which constitutes eeograpbicallr, but not politically, a part of the Lombardo Venetian kingdom. Thrown out like a van wedge irom the main chain of the Alps at tbe Brenner, the ter ritory of the Trento and Roveredo, called by the Germans the Walpch or Sud-Tyrol, consists mainly ot the valley of the Adie, closed in on both sides by enormous mountain ridges, border lug on the west with the Valtellina and the Lombard valleys of Bersarao and Brescia, nnd on tbe east with the Venetian provinces of Bel Juno, Viccnza, and Verona. This narrow gorge of tbe Adige, with all its surrounding mountain masses, was known rn old Roman tioieB, and still better in the pa'niy days ot the German empire, as the main gate of Italy (le Chime d' llalia), the Upper March of Verono; and it con st tutes even at the present day (lie principal head, of that formidable system of fortresses which bears the name of the Quadrilateral. Were Garibaldi and the Italians ever to post themselves stronely on those mountains, the liberation of Venet:a would be more than half achieved. The plan of Garibaldi's campaign, it has been said, is twofold a mountain warfare in Southern T rol, and a maritime expedition up the Adriatic. There are some who suppose that a landing is contemplated on the coast ot Istria orDatmatla, or even lower down in Montenegro, or in tbe Tuikish provinces. What sympathy or support tbe Italians might meet wild among those half civilized and hardly known tribes we deem it idle to inquire. At all events, it is difficult to conceive how any movement in those parts, unless it led to a general insurrection, could be made subservient to tho success of the main undertaking in the Venetian mainland. It would seem fur more probable that a coup de main is intended on some point or points of the coast between Trieste and Venice. Along all that Venetian shore, up to the mouths of the many streams that flow down upon it from the Alps, the Piave. the Taglia mento. the Isousto, etc. ample tiaia U open tor the daring feats of irregular warfare. By land ing now at one spot, now at another, and cut ting up the roads and railroad that run along the slu-re, all Intercourse between Venice and Trieste, and consequently Vienna, might b; in terrupted, and by reaching the mountains from which spring the Piave and otneis of those rivers, the maritime volunteers could easily place themselves in concert with those of the Cacti atori dello Apolvio and Caccintori del Tonale who might succeed in forcing their way trom the Trentine valleys into those of Bassano and Belluno. In the present Ira me of mind of the Venetian population, especially in the Friuli, they would be sure of as warm and cor dial a welcome as they met with on the same battle-tieuls in tbe short but unf'ortunalo, but not inglorious campaign of 1848. Diplomacy. NAPOLEON S POLICY AN IMPERIAL LETTER ON ma NEUTRAL POSITION AND TERRITORIAL IDEAS. Tcley raph to London Timet, , Paris; June 12. In the Corps Leglslatif to- dcy M. Rouher read a letter Irom the Emperor Napoleon to M. Dru.yh de Lhuys, in which his Mujesty, alter detailing the -efforts made in common with England and IiuFsia to prevent an armed conflict, says: "Had the conference assembled nay Government would havedcclurea that France repudiated all Idea of territorial itegiauui.ement so lone as the European equi librium renioined undisturbed.

The sitting then terminated. COUNT BISMARK'B EXPLANATION. From the London Timet, Jane 12. ! Like the King, it appears that Count Bisniark has thoueht it indispensable to lay before the public bis opinions on war aud peace at this mo ment. The Berlin FuUmist, a paper accouutel to be semi-otlicial, reports the following interest ing speech of his, said to have been delivered to s deputation oi small house-owners who had come to complain of tho pecuniary einbarrass mcnta now specially entailed on them: j Bis Majesty is on principle against the war; and in the Cabinet council held on April 28 voutd agaliist it, In common with his Ministers. Hut our advetsar.es bave long schemed agaiust us, and now prepare to carry out a plan ot aggression wantoulr devised and elowlv matured for mouths past. I know that the Austrian Minister of Finanoe a very short time since bad the impudence to declare to bs tjovereign Hiat the only alternative loft to him was to extract 600.000,000 tualers trom defeated Prussia, or to declare a national bankruptcy, you can also see lron (he Austrian papers that tbe people nave been systematically taught to believe that if UiOlt- Mlvor com has been transferred to oar hn1s in the wav of eommfir, the reason ia becaa e we, the I'rnlans, are such arrant Knaves Those papers on) emtatlngly assert that tho day has at log a arrived whn the Anatnau coin must be fetch d back trom Pros la by a strong band. v bat, rentlcmen, I ask yoi, are we to do under these circumstances f Are we not to flht lor our , propertvf Are we not to V'ndicve oar honor and n.ut penflence acamst men whoe warltce ardor has been inoTeased by tde prospect ot plunder and rob be:yf io meet such an attuca as a united people tbe only wav ot combating it suocessluHV, and of sei unnr pi aetlcal re-ults from tbe war. Hithorti it bus be n the custom ol Prussia o make the greatest sacrifices, both ot moiiev and men, for the safety of the minor Mate, and to content herself with the consciousness ot baring benefitted Ontmany. In-' s'eid ot thanks, however, Prussia has been repaid by ingratitude This must be charged. If Prussia ia fx:ctPd to do more for the welfare of ftermauy than any otber Slate, she ought to receive that equi valent for ber services so long hor due. This touches the tender point in the hearts of men about to be impoverished, bit can be scarcely considered a complete and diplomatic account ot the quarrel, nor of how it originated. THB AUSTRIAN REPLY TO BI8XARK. Count Mensdorff, Austrian Minister for Foreien Affairs, has addressed trom Vienna a declaration to Count Karolyi, dated the 9th of June, reply ing to the statements In the Prussian circular despatch of the 4th lust. The Austrian Minister says: Count Biomark has considered hlmsolf allowed to attack the truth ot the words we have spotnn in the Federal D.et. This attempt will not suooood for tbe pi oofs oi what we bave said are but too well remembered by all. Ihevwcieh heavil" against the Cabinet ot Merlin, and not only in Austria, but also In non Prussian Germany, the votoe of the pub io conscience Is univcral y in unison with our own, Even in Prussia there are many truthful, indepen dent minds, to wboseJudgmeui we could appeal with full confidence. ' I Count Mensdorff coes on to mention the recent proceedings ot Prussia in Holstein, and enters a solemn protest against the statements with wblrh it bos been attempted to lustily these pro ceedings. He declines on the part of the Aus trian Government all and every responsibility for the eerious consequences of the Prussian decision by which the conflict is henceforth con sinned to the domain of facts: and orocee is to prove that since its despatch of the 26th of Janu ary, lbtiO, the Prussian Government has, r.otn by word and deed, and without lawful ground. taken up a posit on in the Duchies which has tendered utterly precarious the condition of possession settled hy the Gastein Convention. Count Mensdord continues: Austria lespected, nevertheless, the sett.emontot tbe possession ot the Duchies She did nut give m tioe ot withdraw a' Irom the Gastein Con vention, and woud bave al owed the Provisorium established by that Convention to remain undis turbed until the Diet shou d have given nsdeoisiou. Prussia, by marching; troops into ilolstoin, com pletes de facto on ber side uie vio anon oi the Gas tein Convention, and our protest is goun led upon the fact of Prussia having proceeded to acts of self reoress. and of ber having violated, bv the occupa tion of Holstein, not only h-r treaty relations with Austria, but also article eleven ot tne uermau Fede ral Pact. rhe has, moreover, thereby broneht about tbe state of things conteraplatod by article nine teen ot the Final Act ot Vienna. In conclusion. Count Mensdorff reserves to the Imperial Government the right of taking such steos and resolutions as may be found necessary, since nothing remeins for Austria out to tuas steps ior oeieuuiutc uer nuuur aim guarding her rights trom being treated with contempt. , The Latent espntetae. Berlin, June 12. The Prussian Government addressed a despatch on the 10th instant to tne German Governments, embodving the principal features ot tne Prussian proposals tor a reform ol the Federal Constitution. In addition to the points already known, this despatch contains ten articles, of which the following are the most important propositions: The Austrian provinces, and likewise thoe belonging to the .Netherlands, no longer to torm part ot the Ger manic Confederation; the consent of the German sovereigns, andotat least two-thirds ot'thepopu lation, to be necessary before war can be de clured by Germany; tne naval forces of Ger many in the Aorta Sea and Baltic to be placed under the control of Prussia; Kiel and Jahde to be declared federal war ports: tne Federal land forces to be divided, and the Northern army to be placed under the command of Prussia and Bavaria, as Federal Commanders-in-chief, both in times of war and peace; the relations of Ger man Austria to the confederation to be adjusted oy a uerman raruament. It is believed that the Government has des patched, or Is about to despatch, to the Govern ors ot the different Prussian provinces a clrcu lar ordering that during the war the liberty of tne press ana tne rient oi pumic meeting be sub lected to certain restrictions. Berlin, June 12, 11 P. M. In the Prussian letorm proiect lor the reconstruction of the bund, tbe article relerrina to the exclusion trom the Confederation of the provinces, belonging to the Netherlands only appl es to the Duchy o Limbnrg. Luxemburg would continue to lorm part ot the Geriranic Confederation. The despatch to the Government of Baden accompanying the Prussian proposal for reform expresses reeret that the discussions in the Die on the proposal for a German Parliament do not promise to lead to any result, notwithstandins that the reform proposals had been relerred to a committee ot nine. Prussia therefore addresses herself direct to the members of the Confederation. It is bellved that after the departure of the Austrian Ambassador the interests of Austrian sublects in Prussia will be confided to the care ot the Dutch Minister in this citv. Hanover. June 12. Prussia has declared to all the Governments of Northern Germany that if the motion brought forward in the Federal Diet by the Austrian representative yesterday lor the mobilization ot the Federal arm v. be adopted on Thursday next Prussia will consider the oermnnic confederation to be dissolved and will then allow herself to be guided only by coiiBiurraiious oi iiiuiiniy expeuiency.
