The European 'arce will, we doubt not, In a few days be played out, and tbe great drama wblcb Is beinir got up will not be long delayed. It Is In the Kibe Duchies, which "old Palm" used to call the match which would set; the Continent in a blaze, (hat the prelude to the drama has betun. On the 11th of June the States of Ilolstein were to meet at Itzenop, at the request of Austria ; however, Prussia forbade the meet ing, and arrested' the Austrian Commisloaer Lesser, who Is now in durance vile in the prisons of Rendsburg. The Austrian?, com. manded by General Cablcnti, took no steps to resist the Prussians, but quietly evacuated the Duchy of Ilolstein, passing through Hanover. At the same time the representative of Austria at the "Bund," at Franktort-on-the Main, de. innnded that the Diet should Immediately take Federal proceedings against Prussia. TIIK PATIKNCH OK AUSTRIA at the present time merits the greatest culoglutn, for it is impossible for any State to show more conciliation than the Viennese Cabinet. Public opinion in and out of Germany Is quite with Austria; the German Diet i- unanimous in tidinc with Hapsburff versus Ilohenzollern. Even in Prussia the liberal party is quite opposed to a war aainst Austria. All those who ome forward to be elected members of the Kammcr have to give a formal promise to refuse money to Dismarlc to go to war. King Wllhclm has received more than a thou sand numerously signed addresses, beseeching him not to brina; the scourge of war on Father land. In Austria, on the contrary, the cry is "War to the knife" to Prussia and Bismark. AUSTRIAN FOLIC T. The Viennese Cabinet still maintains a purely defensive attitude towards Italy. Firmly Im planted in the Quadrilateral, she will repulse any attack without crossing the limits assigned to her by the treaty of Villafranca. Iu acting thus she prevents any interference on the part of France in the conflict, whilst she can dis pose of the greater part of her army against Prussia. The great care of Austria has been that France would interfere iu the quarrel; saa seems now pretty sure that such will not be the case. Yesterday, the 12th of June, when the legisla tive body was about to commence the discus sion of the BudL'et, the President, Mons. Walew ski, read a letter written to the Minister, Mons. Drouyn de Lhuys, of which tlio following is a resume: MESSAGE OF TUB EMPEROR. The Emperor's Message was received with great approbation by tbe Chambers. Mons. Jules Favre, the radical leader, hav ing shown a desire to discuss the matters going on in Italy and Germany, Mons. Rouher got the Chamber to vote that such a proceeding was entirely useless. The Frencn Government is desirous of main taining its liberty of action, and is afraid of being bound by any declaration with which it might be reproached at any future period. Id the mean time there is a.nain a talk of a loan of several mil lions, that we may be prepared for any eventu ality. Garibaldi, still very wavering, has left Caprera. He Is at present at Como, ready to throw him self on the Quadrilateral with his host of volunteers. It is thought for the hundredth time that war is imminent. Tbe heat in the Lorth of Italy is now very ereat, and should the immense army on foot remain in a state of inaction, there might be great lear of illness attacking the soldiers. Latest telegrams inform us that the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, and the Austrian Am bassador at Berlin, have both demanded their passports. . THE 14TH OF JUXB will be decisive, lor to-morrow the German Diet will give its vote on the proposition of Austria demanding that tbe Germanic Confederation shall mobilize the Federal contingents. Should the Diet consent to the proposition of Auttria, we may look forward to a general conflagration in Germany. Prussia, on the other hand, has been addressing a circular note "to all the Ger man States on the Federal reform, of which the following is the first article: "The German parts of Austria are excluded from the Federal ter ritory." This la about the counterpart ot the proposition made by Austria to Prussia. Is there now any hope of matters being settled ami cably T Up to the present time it must be said that the prospects lor Prussia are not very promising. When the Bund yesterday voted the Federal execution against her, Bavaria, Saxony, Hano ver, Wurtemburg, aud many other minor States, sided with Austria. Alter the vote had been given by the Bund, Herr von Savigny, the Prussian Envoy at the Diet of Frankfort-ou-the- (, Main, declared that he considered the Confede ration to be at an end. The decision of the Diet is a terrible bio for Prussia and a triumph for Austria. The Berlin Cubiuet now stands quite isolated in Germauy, as it may be said to be abandoned by almost all the Slates. Austria now sees its forces and its resources doubled. It will comtnaud the greater part of the support of Fatherland. Yesterday the Emperor, in answer to aa address, said: "I have done all I could to niai-. tain peace and liberty In Germany, ht every. thing has been done to prevent !'t " We are now on the cotanA,Vok0(lt for tcle. grams, and the wapttpor ollicea are besieged from morni'j(? t0 nisfht Ever minute may bring v iLU'iligeuce that the first shot hai been ".led. VISIT OP THE KINO OF THE BELGIANS TO PARIS. The mourning of Leopold II expired on the lulh inst., King Leopold I having died on the 10th of June, 18C5. It is expected thai Lei and his young queen will shortly be the guests ol our Emperor at Fontainebleau. PACKING CP AT MEXICO. We learn that Maximilian wants more money to keep thepo boiling, to use a somewhat com mon expression. Our Government seem rather tired of the expensive transatlantic Government, and baa Informed Master Maxi milian that there are no effects, and that he has overdrawn his account It is said hia Imperial Majesty lias come to the determination of cutting it. Mexican bonds have come down wi'h a run, and wlll'soon be worth nest to no thing. The balance of the Bank of France to-oNy shows aiecelpt of 613 millions, perhaps one ol the largest ever accumulated by that institution. P. 8. A despatch arrived from Dresden at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and wbich has not been rommonicHted to (tie newspapers, announces that the Prussians entered Saxony to-day. Thus the long expected cannon-shot has at last been tired. UITT INTELLIGENCE For Additional City intelligence see Fifli l'age. Proceedings of Councils. The stated meeting ol Councils was held yesterday after noon. f-e'ect Council Mr. Gray, from the Committ"e on Water, reported a resolution, authorizing a contract with I) Cramer A Son, tor buil.liusr the enelne and boiler-hoti'-'e tor ihe water-worics at Roxborotigh. Agreed to. The following communication was received from the Ma-or: On the 20th instant I was officially iniormed by the Committee on Street Cleansing that the northern district of tbe city of Pdiladelphia is in a tilthy condition. At the same time they furnished me with a copy of a resolution adopted by them recommending that the contract with Messrs. Hill A Htuith should be annulled. Accepting the statement and adopting the suggetiiou of the Committee, I imnieelmtelv cotuied Messrs. Hi'l A Smith that on the 1st day of July proximo their contract wi uld cease arid determine. Alter that, date, tberelore, no provision will exist tor cleainiiu; the northern distiict of tbe city; aud as it is a matter of the first importaiicu that this state ot tlinsrs should not be permitted to continue, I respectfully and earnestly urse upon Councils tbe necessity of adopting immediate measures to meet the emerpency. In this connection it is proper to add that, although Messrs. Hill A Smith have failed to comply with the covenants of their contract, the kexperieuce of the past fonr months has satisfied me that the system of cleani-ing the city by competent contractors is decidedly the best that can be adopted." Re ferred to the Committee on Street Cleans in sr. The Committee on Water reported an ordl nanc. making an appropriation ot $t5,000 to lay a main on Columbia avenue. Postponed. Mr. Spering, from the Committee on City Property, to which was referred the applica tion of the City Solicitor for additional room, submitted a report. The committee say that the complaint of insufficient accommodations is a general one, the only public otlice bulldinss owned by the city being the small Row offices occupied by the county officers, and built more than half a century ago, when the population of the city was not one seventh of Its present number. The wants ot these officers have loin since outgrown their accommodations, and tbe committee find it literally impossible to accom modate the City Solicitor in any building at present owned by the citv. The committee re port that the only remedy for this state of things is the erection of new public building, and would long since have recommended the crea tion of a loau for the purpoe, but that the diffi culties in tbe city flnauces growing out of the war induced them to withhold such recommen dation; but as tbe necessity for such buildings is more and more pressing, they recommend that the whole subject be referred either to one of the joint standing committees of Councils, or lo a joint special committee, with Instruc tions to procure plans, specifications, and eti matesf the cost, of proper buildings, such committee to report to Councils as soon after the summer recess us possible. The committee also recommend that, with a vipw to provide fuuds for the erection of each public buildines with out increasing the permanent debt, there be in serted in the tax levy for the next year an item of one-fourth of one pr cent, for public build ings. Tnis would yield on the present assess ment the sum of about $400,000. If that amount should not b enough, a turtber sum could be levied in a subsequent year for the purpose. The report closes with a resolution for the appointment ot a special committee of live mum hoi's from each Chamber to procure plans aud the estimHte of the cost of new buildings, aud report alter the summer recess. Agreed to. Mr. Barlow, from the Committee on Street Cleansing, reported acaint granting the con tractors for the Northern District $15,000 addi tional. Mr. Barlow introduced a resolution directing the Chief inspector of Streets to cleanse tbe Northern District until a new contract for the work has heen entered into. After considerable debate, Mr. Barlow said that, after tigain reading tbe ordinance, be was of opinion that the Committee on Street Cleans ing bad power to act. The resolution was then postponed. Mr. Gray, from the Committee on Water, reported tbut, after examination, it was bclisved that tbe subject ot supplying the city with waier .from the Pcrkiomen was wor'.hy of a more extended investigation. The committee repoit an oidinance appointing Jamei b Smith, Wil liam E. Morris, and Chief Engineer Uirkenbine a commission to examine aud report upon tbe subject. An appropriation ot SiiOOO is made to meet the expense. Mr. Hodtrdon introduced a resolution authorl cing the Mayor to advertise for proposals for cleansing the Northern District of the city. Re ferred to the Committee on Street Cleansing. Mr. Hopkins Introduced a resolution that the Mayor be requested to withhold the money due to Hill A Smith, street contractors, until satis factory evidence Is received that they hye paid tbe laborers employed by them. Referred to ihe Committee on Str-'et Cleansing. Mr. Marcus offered a resolution Instructing the Committee on Police to retort an ordinance to prevent vagrancy. Agreed to. The resolution from Common Council ap pointing a special committee In reference to the contract of Hill A Smith was concurred iu. Adjourned. In Common CyuncitA. communication was presented from Hill & Smith, asking to bo re leased from the contract for cleansing: the northern part of the city, on the g rou.tt thu' there was great-hostility manitosted toward? them. They also state that tbe street iu the District have been cleansed, as well as the Inlets, and at a cost of $15,000 beyond the amourt allowed by the contract. On motion otMr. Harper, the communication was referred to a joint special committee ol three from each Chnmber. Mr. Derbyshire offered a resolution requesting the Mayor to withhold any moneys that may by due Hill A Smith, contractors tor cleansing the Northern District of the city, until he (the Mayor) is satisfied that the laboiers. have bjeu paid. Agreed to. A communication was received from the Schuylkill River Pusseuger Railroad Company, asking th Consent ot Councils to lay their track- 5n ie streets named in the act Incorporating tho Enid rnitinmi v. Mr. fr raucucus submitted a resolution giving the consent a-ed for. Mr. Miller desired to know if this would inter fere with the privileges granted the Ilestonville Passenger Railroad. Mr. Franciscus replied that the dmlcuUies between the two companies had been settled. Mr. Hancock desired to know In what way the matter had been euled -whether the ar rangement was for the bone til of the compauies or the citizens? Mr. Franciscus said tho arrangement made between the two companies is, that each shall lire tbe tracks laid, aud each bear a propor tionate expense of the work. After some further discussion the resolution was adopted. Adiourned. 1-.ei.ief of Colored Fhekdmen Annual Report.
