Opening of the Grand Con Met In Europe
from the Time.
V The news lioni Europe on Tuesday Is up to
the 24th of June. There has, as yet, been no
great battle fought. Lives were lost and bluod
wag ppilled, and the suicidal war in Germany
has not only commenced, but there is no end
to it until the victorious sword commands peice.
At present no one can foretell wbo will be the
happy one to bring pcaco to distracted Germaay.
JSverythlnn Is at odds and ends, and at this
distance, and with tho abbreviated account ol
late occurrences in Germany that wo have
received, we are enabled neither to prophesy
nor to cive what we would call a complete pic
ture of present aliairs. Nevertheless, we will
endeavor to present otir conception of military
mutters between Prussia and Austria and their
Allies.
It appears that Prussia has taken full posses
sion ot Saxony, oven removing the royal arms of
Saxony, and replacing them with the arms of
Prussia. We may regard this as a great mi'ltary
advantage to the Prussian army. Austria is
provorbial for her slowness, and at this time
ehe has lost, in tact, the tlrst campaign.
The Prussians have occupied Lobau, Zit
tau, and Sukeuditz, which, like a triangle,
iuclose the noithem Irontier of Bohemia. It
was even reported, as the latest news indicates,
that the Prussiaes had advanced into Bohemia.
This we consider doubtful; but it bo, it shows
that Prussia ts determined to push her nrst ad
vantage to the utmost.
We cannot forego this opportunity to exprcas
our surprise that the Ausirians did not antici
pate the Prussians in theocciipation of Saxony.
As a matter of military tactics it was most cer
tainly in the interest of the Austiians to keep
the Prussians out of and away from the plains
of Saxony. But, whatever reasons there may
lave been, whether Justifiable or not, Prussia
is in Saxony and Austria has to drive her out
of it. There is but OLe line of news, and that
way moan something important. I lis said that
an Austrian patrol crossed the Silcsian frontier,
and utter firing at and pressing back a Prussian
patrol, other Austrian troops were following. If
that be so, it is possible that from Silesia the
Austriun general may succeed in isolating the
Prussians in Saxony." To do this, however, it
would be necessary that Wurteinberg, Bavaria,
and in fact tho whole lorco ot the Diet should
move. It appears they have concentrated near
Frankfort, and, it is said, a great battle was
Impending at thut place, all the troops of the
southern States of Germany having been ad
vanced to that point, and Prussia, on her way
southward, having taken Franklort iu a central
marh of attack against the Diet.
Italy is said to have made an official declara
tion of war against Austria, and a report comes
to us by way of Vienna that Prussia has sent
one hundred and thirty millions of francs to
Florence to aid Italy 'iu its proposed tight
against Austria. No other military movements
of the Italians are reported, exceot that they
had crossed the Mincio, and had proceeded on
ward unopposed. It must bo uiiurfrstood that
the world-renowned Quadrilateral is some dis
tance east from tho Mincio, and that, consider
ing the present attitude of France, and her
guarantee of the inviolability of the Italian
kingdom, Austria will most certainly keep on
the defensive In the south so long as either
a great victory or overwhelming defeat in the
north shall not have made an agaressive move
ment against the Italians necessary or desirable.
The most unexplainable position occupied by
any power in Europe is that of Russia. Rumors
are Hying to and fro on the Continent of an
alliance oetween Austria and Russia, but no
lody knows enough about the matter either
authoritatively to contradict or to confirm the
report. One thing appears to be certain, that
Jiussia has concentrated a large n um bcr ot troops
on her western frontier. That this has not been
done to attack Austria all know; but whether
the object be to help Austria no one can as yet
pretend to say. Napoleon is also watching, and
it may be that he expects to come to an under
standing with Russia about a new map of Europe.
Hut events may travel faster than man's mind,
and if a battle in Germany should change the
relations of the two great powers at war, who
knows but what Ru3ia and France may be
tound in battle array again ?
The next mail from Europe will bring us the
tidings of the first great battle in Central Europe
between Germans and Germans, and also
whether, as always heretofore, foreign powara
have taken advantage of this purely German
quarrel, and are about attempting to reap the
benefit.
The Military Strength of the European
Belligerents.
From the Herald.
We published on Monday some interesting
Statistics, collated from official sources, show
lug tho military strength of the present Euro
pean belligerents. From these figures it would
appear that vast armies are iu the field, and
that the clash of arms, when it comes in earnest,
will be tremendous, and rock Europe to the
centre.
It Is a well-established fact, but one not gene
rally noted, that the numerical strength of armies
in actual and active service is greatly exagge
rated. The immense armies of the ancients,
numbering in some instances, according to sacred
and profane history, millions of men, were un
doubtedly composed more of camp followers and
other non-combatants than men capable ot bear
ing the rude and cumbersome arms of the
period. The fabled myriads included iu the
armies of the ancient Persians, Tartars, Egyp
tians, Assyrians, and the other warlike powers
of the early ages, were no doubt impeded in their
marches and battles by the pieat number of
useless and unserviceable characters that hung
upon the rear and flanks of the main armies. It
Is a curious circumstance that while ancient his
torians mention the interminable uumbors of
those ancient hosts, they nceleet to stiite how
the men were supported; how the commissariat
was supplied while traversing through unknown
and desert regions; where the quartermaster
replenished his stores for his famishing hornes,
elephants, camels, and other beasts of burden
and transportation. They had no railroads
In those days. They had no maguetic tele
graph then. They could not talk from
point to point and transmit orders with the
regularity and despatch of personal communi
cation. They had no light artillery then. They
had no spherical shot or flve-hundreJ-pounder
shells; no torpedoes, no two-mile rifles, no sub
marine batteries, no ironclad war ships, no
electric fuses, no gunpowder except the Chi
nese no gun cotton, no nitroglycerine and
other explosive material. They had huge bat
tering rams, weighing some tons; immense bow
suns, mounted on carriages and throwing very
heavy arrows; stone slings, javelins, and alt
iu6Z6 articles of wariare the careful student of
ancient military nwtorv is familiar with. But
although it would require a great physical force
to manage these implements, wo doubt very
much whether history is correct & niacins the
numbers of these ancient armies at the large
figures it does, for the simple reason that the
hordes could not be fed in the hostile countries
they traversed.
We presume the extent and condition of the
armies in the United States dining the Rebellion
yuete larger in number and batter equipped
better fed and clothed, and better disciplined
than any armies of half the number in ancient
or modern times. In April, 1865, the Union
armies had on their rolls one million three hun
dred thousand men. At the same time the
Rebels had on their rolls seven hundred thou
sand men making together two millions of
troops. Ot this number at least one-third were
not in the field at any one time, but were en
gaged in doing garrison duty, occupying forti
fied places, protecting six thousand miles of
post, lving sick in hospitals, and thcrw.so not
in the field.
All the jrreat buttles of the Rebellion were
fcught with loss than seventy-five thousand men
on each side, except the battle ot the Wilder
ness, when (Jrant bad about one hundred thou
sand, and Lte about the same number. This
was the ercutest and most stubborn battlo of
the war, the men not being out of the hearing
ot musketry for ten duvs. The other battles,
like most of those of the Grecians, Romans,
Caithsyinians, and tho First Napoleon, were
fought with between fif'y and sixty thousand
men. except tho battle of Waterloo, when pro
bably two hundred thousand men were rnuagc I
on both sides in deciding the final throw m the
giime of settling the destinies of Europe.
It will be thus in tho-present European war
For, although Austria will have hii army esti
mated at a million and a quaiter, Prussia and its
allies, exclusive of Italy, some eight hundrel
thousand, and with the army of that power
nearly a million and a half, we shall be very
much' surprised if we hear of a battle numbering-
over on? hundred thousand on each side at
any time while the war lasts, bo that period
brief bo protracted.
Defeat of the English Reform Bill A
Ministerial Crisis.
From the World.
The Ministry have been beaten on the Reform
bill by a vote of 304 to 315 the majority agaiust
the Government being eleven. The immediate
consequence is, that the Ministry are supposed
to have resigned. We say supposed to have re
signed, because, while it is known that they
have made an important communication to tho
Queen, it is not known precisely what that com
munication is. Her Majesty is at Balmoral, GOO
miles Irom London. The defeat took place on
Monday night, June 18. On Tuesday, at the
it stance of the ministerial leaders, In both
Houses, Parliament adjourned over to the
Monday following; and Earl Russell in the
Lords, and Mr. Gladstone in the Commons, in
language so similar that it must have been
concerted, stated that tho Ministry "had made
a communication to her Ma)esty." This must
hav meant either that they bad tendered their
resignation, or that they had advised a dissolu
tion ot Parliament. That it could have been
nothing less serious than one or the other of
of these, is evident from Mr. Gladstone's refer
ence to the ''state of abeyance in which the
functions of the executive Government, are
placed."
The absence of the Queen, at a place so dis
tant and inconvenient, is a pretty good indi
cation that neither siie nor the 'Government
suspected the near approach of anything so
serious as a ministerial crisis. There were
many reasons for supposing thut Parliament
would not care to i!i;sh this ruiuistry to ati
extremity. Tho Parliament is only five or
six months old, and the elections gave the
Ministry a clear majority of seventy. Tne
average election expenses were probably
some five or ' six thousand pounds, and
the members would be unwilling to
ineur this expense again so soon, at
tended as it would bp, in many cases,
with the hazard of loss of their seats. Be
sides, the time is most inopportune and in
convenient, either for a dissolution of Parlia
ment, or a change of Ministry. Just at the
point when a great and portentous war is break
ing out on the Continent, and when the country
approved of the foreign policy, confided in the
experience and accepted the guidance ot Earl
Russell and Lord Clarendon, a dissolution, either
ot Parliament or of the Ministry, must be re
tarded as a ha,tird, and almost as a calamity.
Both the Queen unci her ministers seem to have
relied too much on these considerations; the
Queen in placing herself out of convenient
reach at a time when the Reform debate was
approaching its crisis; the Ministry, in incau
tiously staking their existence oa the success ot
this measure.
There has been something ot a positiveness,
almost amounting to arrogance, in the bcariug
of Mr. Gladstone towards the opponents ot the
bill; as if the continuance of the Ministry iu
Office was so indispensable, at this time, that
they could exact a compliance with their wishes.
It was probably on this idea that, in an earlier
stage ot the debate, he announced the determi
nation of the Ministry to stand or fall with this
measure; and that, on the night of their defeat,
he chose to make an amendment offered by Lord
Dunkellin a question of confidence.
Lord Dunkellin claimed that his amendment
did not affect the vital principle of the bill, but
only one of its details. His lordship is the Irish
member for Galway. In Ireland, the suflrage is
regulated, not by the rent of the house, but by
its ''rateable value" that is, by the assessment
for texes. The principle of Mr. Gladstone's
Reform bill was, to give the borough franchise
to all householders paying 7 annual rent.
Lord Dunkellin proposed that instead of 7
rental value, 17 "rateable value" should be the
standard. This was doubtless what we, in
the political slang of our country, call a
"dodge " It enabled many members who
disliked reform, but durst not vote directly
against it, to strike at its life while apparently
aiming at one ol its limbs. The rent of tene
ments is higher than their rateable value.
Mr. Bright expressed the opinion, in his
speech in opposition to the amendment, that
a 7 rateable value, as a basis of tho fran
chise, would be equivalent to 9 rental value.
Mr. Gladstone stated that his bill would enfran
chise only 144,000 persons; that tho proposed
amendment would reduce it by at least 00,000;
and that he would not consent to its reduction
at all. "fcrom that moderate amount of en
franchisement," he said, "we are not, under
any circuroi-tances or conditions, prepared to
recede. By it we intend to stand." Alter
using this language, the Ministry could do
nothing less, on the adoption otthe amendment,
than to cither oiler their resignation or advise
the Queen to dissolve Pailiament. The opinion
in London is rite that they have resigned; and
speculation is rile as to whether the Qujcu will
accept their resignation. Just at the moment
v hen Europe is kindling into a general contl it
eration, will she consent to dispense with a
Miui.-try in whose foreign policy both she and
the country hove full couddence?
That she was wholly unprepared for having
such a question forced upon her Kr decision, at
this time, is evident from her absence. She is
understood to have great personal respect for
Lord Derby ; but it is doubtiul whether ho can
form a Ministry, and next to certain that, even
it lie could, it would be ot bnet and uncertain
tenure. The Conservative party, which Lord
Derby leads, is in an acknowledged minority.
The Reform bill has been defeated by dissen
sions in the rauks of the Liberals, A Ministry
entering power with a Parliamentary minority.
could not long stand up against tho vigorous,
tho vigilant, tne vindictive opposition ot the
Liberals. Another ministerial crisis would un
avoidably and speedily come; and perhaps at a
period as inopportune and inconvenient as the
present. The instability of such a Ministry is a
reason why statesmen will be unwilling to enter
it; and is the chief obstacle to Lord Derby's suc
cess in forming one. It is a'eo a s'rong reason
why the Queen should not desire him to under
take it. The friends of the present, hope that she
will graciously refuse to accept their tendered
resignation; that they will consider their honor
satisfied by the offer; and that, in dutiful sub
mission to the royal wishes, they will consent to
retain their places.
However this may be, it is certain that, by
this defeat, Mr. Gladstone suffers great loss of
preBtige. His political stature is shortened by
a full cubit. It is alleged that bis management
of the Refoim bill has been a tissue of blunders;
that he has demonstrated his Incapacity for par
liamentary leadership. Brilliant as an orator,
clever and successful as a financier, and tor some
time past the rising hope of his country, it ts
rlleged that he is stranded in his first con
siderable attempt to navigate parliamentary
waters alone. In a newly elected Parlia
ment, with a ministerial majority of seventy,
he has squandered his patrimony in a lew
months, and become a political bankrupt.
This may be a harsh Judgment, as any minis
ter Is liable to defeat, but hit critics point
out frpcclttc instances of mismanage went, and
what they consider as rtom blundering. It
was a lack' of Judgment to have undertaken so
great a measute at all, until, bv other question-!,
he bad tested th devotion of his followers, and
assuicd bimKelt of his power to mould them to
his lilies. It was a mistake to present the
measure by halves, and to have been compelled
to crudely extemporize the second bait m the
progress of the discussion. He was unwary in
so conin Itllng the exii-tenco of the Ministry to
the immediate success of the bill, thai he could
not retire and await a uioro favorable juncture
for pressing it. He gave his enemies an advan
tace in allowing them to defeat him on a sub
otdinaic question, instead of bringing them to
a square vote on tne 7 franchise, and covering
them with the odium of direct opposition to
reform. In all theso particulars, Palmerston
would have acted rlilTciently; and it is most
tintorUma'e lor the reputation of Gladstone
that, coning immediately hlter that consum
mate leader, he makes the contrast so keenly
frit between Palmcrstou's address and his own
want of tuct.

The Atlantic Cable.
From the Daily A'ews.
The graver political questions that h.tve dis
tracted Europe for the pnst few months have
divert; d the public mind, bent on information
from that quarter, from the preparations for
laying the Atlantic cable, which arc now nearly
completed. About the 8th ot July is named as
the time when the Great Km'ern, with the cablo
aboard, will depart Irom Valentia on her errand
of laying the cable. The former laiiiircs to
effect this result have suggested many improve
ments in the method to be fo'losed on this
occasion, and the most sanguine hopes are
entertained that, what with the newly acquired
information, and the calmness of the ocean at
this season, the work ol connecting the two Con
fluents by telegraph will prove at last successful.
In view of the great war in Germany, the
courre of this important enterprise will be
watched more eagerly at the present time than
under other circumstances; ior in a struggle
that promises tho most vital changes in the
entire European system, the interest ot the
people of America will be proportionately
aioucd. With the Atlantic cable a fixed fact,
our people will be able to follow the cnrapiigns
of Austiians, Prussians, and Italians with nearly
as precise a knowledge as they did those of Lea
or Grant. It is to be hoped that the sanguine
expectations ot those in charge of the cabie may
not be again disappointed, and that, at an early
day, it may be given us to peruse St. Petersburg
news of the day before over our breakfast coffee
the wxt morning.
