Progrcfs or the . Anti-Slavery Cause in
Spain.
from tht Trilxm. , . , j
The latest number of the London Anti-Slavery
Jiejiorter contains the most cheering news abou
the progress of abolitionism in Spain. The.
Ppanieh Anti-slavery Society continues its labors
with unremitting zeal and with remarkable
success. Before the public organization of this
Society, a'i tit two years ago, only one lournal
In all gpain had advocated in its columns the
canse of emancipation. In November, 1G5, Tiie
Anti-Slavery Reporter published a list of thirty
two Spanish papers which declared the aboil
tion of slavery desirable on various grounds,'
though differing as to the mode of accomplish
ing it. Since then the progress has been still
more rapid and surprising. The press of tbo
whole kingdom has been called upon to define
- its position, and the rpsult is most gratifying.
The Anti-S avery.XcporUr, in its July.,nuriiber,
publishes a list of seven ty-scven papers, em
bracing the larger portion of the entire Spanish
press, which, with regard to the slavery ques
tion, are thus classiUed: ,
1. Radical Abolitionists (pledged to' advocate
thorough, complete, and unconditional
emancipation) ,.. ..... .41
S. Favorable to Emancipation, thourh not com
mitted to Radical Abolitionism 33
8. I'ro-Slavery papers , 4
In the city of Madiid the strensth of L the
parties in the press is as follows: "
1. Radical Abolitionists ...'...'...........14
2. Favorable to Emancipation 18
8. rro-Hlavery a
The friends of freedom everywhere will hail
this state of the periodical literature in Spain as
an indication of much greater progress than
Spain had generally been credited with. In tho
Spanish Ahti Slavery Society all political socie
ties are representee;, but the Progressive party
distinguishes itself by its entire unanimity on
this question. , ;
Should the Iladical party of Spain ever arrive
at power, slavery in the Spanish dominions
would bo abolished on the spot one reason
more why the progressive party in the United
States should warmly sympathize with the party
of progress in Spain.
The Senate and Retrenchment.
From the Herald.
The Senate of Ihe United States was at one
time a body distinguished as well for its dignity
and talent as for its probity and high-toned sense
of personal honor. But it has within a few years
taken a long leap in a contrary direction, and,
juoit.au ui nciiug at & tueuK u me wna extrava
gance of the lower house, now only serves as a
wheel horse to the jobbing cart of that profligate
body. When the subject of increasing the com
pensation of members sixty per cenr. came up
tne other day, not a voice was raised in opposi
tion; but, on the contrary, the principal dif
ficulty seemed to be to ascertain to what extent
the salaries ot the employes of the Senate Cham
ber couid be raised at the same time. Hot a
word was uttered about ttie unlitness of thus in
creasing the publio expenditures at a time when
the people are groaning under a mountain of
taxation.
Not a word was said about the numerous lobs
Congress had put through during the session,
involving an unnecessary expenditure directly
from the Treasury and indirectly from the peo
ple of two hundred and titty millions. But,
while thus piling on the public expense, they,
with a coolness particularly refreshing with the
thermometer at ninety-six, appoint a committee
to see wnere retrenchment can be eli'ected in
other departments of the Government 1 Kor
themselves they retrench by cutting down their
mileage fitty per cent aud raising tneir pay sixty
per cent. They are content to take only twenty
cents a mile for mileage constructive
and otherwise when every one knows
that the cost ot railroad travelling in
any part of the country, except, per
haps, the Pacific coast, does not exceed Ave
cents per mile. Numbers of Senators also have
a wrangle about the pickings and stealings of
the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is on the one hand
accused ot speculating in Pennsylvania avenue
and Wall street, and on the other is defended by
an honorable Senator who had known him tor
a quarter of a century, and never knew him to
commit a dishonest act. The gentleman was
probably acquainted with the Serjeant-at-Arms
before he went to Washington lrom the West,
atd spoke from a knowledge of his character up
to that lime. But if the Congress does really
mean retrenchment for we hardly think it
would both tie and steal in the same breath
let the Committee go to work at once upon the
Treasury Department. Let its retrenchment
committee account for the thirty million defi
ciency under ex-Secretary Chase's administra
tion. Let them investigate into the honesty and
the morality of the Treasury officials. Let them
find out who are the confederates of gangs of
counterteiters. Let them explain how enormous
commissions have been given to outside parties
for work that ought to have been performed by
the regular Treasury Department oilices. Let
them demonstrate, it possible, the necessity of
haviner auv Tieasury Department at all. It tne
most essential part of the financial business of
the Government is to be transacted by irre
sponsible and greedy outsiders. If Congress
reauires Us retrenchment committee to investi
gate these things ana snow ineni up in meir
true light Delete the country, it win ao some
thing to justily a strike tor higher wages.
The State oi the War In Europe.
From th4 Timet. ,
According to the Hibernian's news, the Prus

must have been a considerable affair, and
its loss is unquestionably a serious disaster
to the Federals. We have np to this paid
comparatively but little attention to the war
movement in Middle Germany, which, judged
by the weight otjevents in Bohemia, appeared
like Lilliputian concerns. ut this battle
has at last shaped the results In a manner
that tells upon the future of Austria no less
than of Germany. It was only after a series of
contests mat tne itusui&ub ruacucu ma xuaiu
at Aschafl'euburg, Thec contests were nume
rous email skirmishes, seyardy bloody, and
always successful to the Prussians. Not that the
Gera'an troops ia"not flaht well, not that the
needle-g' ,righ:eued thehi off the battle-field,
iui their leaders 'generally were blockheads,
who saw th'iir blunder only alter their troops
were beaten. So at Iliicul'eld, where a Bavarian
cavalry regiment was led right into a mountain
gorge, with the Prussian artillery all around On
the bill tops. 01 course, they were feariull.y cut
pp. Boat MeininRcn, at tuida, at Klssengen;
everywhere the Federal trooos were beatea by
-I.. ...1,.!.if .Pr'.iccUr.tKnnuudO TPfimRot9 Were
oppoed to divlMona, aud simpittous to generals
the tattleUelf, fought on the 14th duy of
could have been from ninety to a hundred thou
sand strong, but with the characteristic flow-
nc?B of the Germans, some of their eenerals did
not bring their men up in time. Boine ,16,000
men lrom Badtm. a was reporied from Prank
tort on the ttth ot J uly. bad not then begun even
10 move to Join the army, aud probably were not
in the battle. The Prussians were undoubtedly
much ftroneer, slo.ee ihsy felt safe euouh to I-
JuIt we have as yet me mere buuuuuucwguv,
without any details. We suppose, relying on
previous accourts, that the Federals numbered
....,,., nd teven'v thousand men. They
vice their army into two columns on marching
southward, following out here the same etratrgy,
as on their march into Bohemia, and jnst as they
united their two advancing columns on tho'
eve of the decisive day of Sudowa, they very !
likely united for battle before the day of
Ascbaffcnbnrg. One column advanced through
Electoral llee by way of llucnleld and FuMa,
the other through Melningen, over Muenncr
staedt and Klssingen, having the It hoe n Moun
tains between the two. The same strategical
fault committed by the Austrian Benedek can
be charired to the Prince Alexander of Hesse
and the Prince Charles ot Bavaria, tho Federal
commanders they waited till the enemy be
came too strong for them. The Prussians, after
thelunction of their two columns, had three
corps d'armce, probably a hundred thousand
men, if not over that. .
From the Augsburg Gazelle, brought by the
Scotia, we have already learned that the evacua
tion of Frankfort had been determined upon,
and that the Federal troops would abandon
their capital and concentrate around Schwoln
furt, some fifty miles directly ca9t In Unter
Fninken (Lower Franconia), near which place
a battle was expected. Perhaps the Federals
were just on their way to Schwelnfurt, when
they were attacked and bpaten at Aschalfenburg.
01 course, the I'rustlans will now occupy Frank
fort, and we may soon hear ot them at Wurzburg,
in Bavaria, at Darmstadt, Mnyeuce, and Worms,
In Ducal Hesse, and we would not wonder if the
Bavarian Palatinate of the Rhine should shortly
be invaded and occupied by them. All this
may be the result ol this single defenr, tust as
the present apparent prostration of Austria wa
the result of that unlucky day at Sudowa.
The Prussians have advanced far into Moravia,
and occupied Fronn, a lightly fortified city on
the confluence of Zwittawa and tho Schwarowa
rivers, and about five miles west ofAusterlitz,
an ominous name lor Austria. If the Austrian
commander Is still at Olrautz with his army, we
may soon look for another battle. There are
two valleys that cut through the centre of Mo
ravia, In almost parallel lines from north to
south, and about thirty miles apart the valley
of the Schwarzowa, in which is situated Bruun,
and more easterly the valley of the March, with
the town and fortress of Olmutz as the com
manding point. Both these valleys unite on
the Hungarian frontier, where the Thaya river
joins the March, and here also the two rail
roads from Brunn and Olmutz to Vienna con-,
nect. Since the Introduction of rallroals as
important factors in ' strategical calculations,
this point has become of the utmost Importance.
Over it alone can Benedek communicate with
his basis ot supply and reinforcements, and over
it alone can the enemy approach the Austrian
capital. Hence, we expect to hear of a sharp,
bloody combat tor the po-stssion of this point.
Otherwise, however, if Benedek has succeeded
in throwing the bulk of his troops south ot the
Moravian line tr the immediate defense of
Vienna, then the level plains of the Mirchfeld,
where the Austrian arms have been so otten
victorious, and so often defeated, from the time
ol King Ottocar to the disastrous day ot Wagram,
will again be the field where the decisive battle
is to be lought.
The Italians advanced unopposed to Vicenza,
along the line of the railway towards Verona,
and the strategist of the telegraph informs us
that unless Ciuldini be dislodged, the Austrian
could not withdraw their forces from the
Quadrilateral to aid against the Prussians, as the
Italians have now possession ot the railroad
communication' from the fortresses by Venice
and Trieste to the north. But there is
still another road from Verona through
the valley of the Adige into Tyrol. True
this road is completed only as far as
Botzen, but then there is another railway
from lnnspruck over into Bavaria and down
the valley of the Danube, by Pasau andLinz,
to Vienna. The distance from Botzen to Inn
spruck is only some hl'ty miles, which, not
withstanding the mountainous character of the
country, does not present insuperable obstacles
to the quick passage of an army. But tho situ
ation of the Austrians in Italy is nevertheless
precariouG, since nothing decisive is as yet
known of the designs and intentions of the
"Sphvnx on the Seine," as the Berlin Kladilera
datsci nickna med the man in the Tuileries.
Austria.
From the DaUu -tfeics.
When the treaties of Vienna, in 1815, estab
lished order out of the chaos which had existed
in Europe for more than twenty years, the House
of Hapsburg received an addition to its hereditary
possessions, and was also deprived of territory
that it had previously held. The Belgic pro
vinces, wnicn nan oeen wrested irom it oy mc
army oi the French republic, were added to the
dominions of the House ot Oianue; the Austrian
Empire was increased by the addition ot ftluun
and Venice, under the title of a Louibardo
Venetian kingdom; tho Illjiian provinces, also
as a kingdom; Venetiau Daluiatia, the Tyrol,
Vorarlberg. Salzburg, the Inn, and Hausruck-
vieitel, and that part of Gflllicia ceded by Aus
tria at a previous period. The war 01 lsau de
prived tne raiser 01 Liouicaiay, ana me present
conflict has already cut oil Venetia from his
rule; and when arms aud diplomacy have run
their course, it is impossible to say what other
changes mav be wrought in the map ot his em
pire. On this, however, we da not intend to
theorize; we rather purpose to show how Aus
tria whs situated when she accepted the gage of
battle.
Ihe Empire of Austria, according to the last
census, taken In 1857, contained an area ot
249,373 square miles, aud had a little over thirty
five millions of Inhabitants. This population,
divided according to religious belief, comprised
about twenty-tour millions Catholics, five and a
half millions Greeks and Armenians, three mil
lions Protestants, and one million Je rs. The rest
were ot diveis sects. Divided according to race,
it consisted of nearly eight millions Germans,
til teen millions Sclavonians, five and a half mil
lions Roumanians, live millions Magyars, aud
about a million and a halt of other races.
The portion oi the empire belonging to the
Germanic Confederation was composed of the
archduchy of Austria (the nucleus and centre
of the empire), Salzburg, Myria,, Cariuthia,
Carniola, tne Tyrol, and Vorarlberg, Bohemia,
Moravia, Silesia, aud portions of the Littorale
and Gallicia. These cover an area of 76,108
square miles, and contained in 107 a population
01 12,K00,OOO. Thus the Germanic portion was
in extent only about one-third ot the whole
I empire, and its population rather more than
I one-third of the whole. The Italian proviuces
were UtiBti equate miles in extent, aud, at me
date already named, bad a population ol about
two and a half millions.
The Austria a monarchy had, in 1S57, 184 cities
each containing more than 10,000 Inhabitants.
ruBton the list stands the capital, Vienna,
with 47t,0M) (iu 18H4 it hud 560,000); next came
Piague, 143,000; Pesth, 132,000, and Venice,
118,000. Nine cities had over 60,000 and und, r
100,000, and twelve had between 26,000 aud
50,000 mbubltants.
The public debt of Austria on December 31
1864, was two thousand six hundred million
florins (an Austrian norm is worm aDout halt a
dollar in coin), of which thirty-six millions be
longed to the Italian provinces. According to
the budget lor 1865 the receipts of tho Govern
ment tor the year were piaceu at nvo nunoreu
and twenty million florins, and the expenditure
at eight millions in excess ot that amount.
The empire possesses but little maritime lm
poitance, its only sea ports being Trbste aud
Venice, and one ot these it ha now lost. The value
of tne imports at Trieste, In 1864, were seventj
four million llorhn, and ot the exports eighty
nine millions; in the previous year the imports
wero eighty-four millions, and the exportJi
eighty-three million. The commerce ot the
part ol Venice in 1863 showed the value of
the impoits to be twenty-eight millions by
ea, aid twenty-one millions by land, together
iortynlne million florins; while the exports
were twenty-nine millions, of . which sixteen
millions wero by sea, and thirteen million by
luiul. In 1864. 9.27V sailing vessels of 472.1T1
tons iurden, and 869 steamers ot , 300,825
tons burden eutered the port of , Trieste, 01
.h'h 77 onlv were from transatlantic norts.
Ot the trttal iiumber,--7676 sailing vessels aqd
7i!3 steamers earned the Austrian .flag. About
J an equal number departed from the port in the
same period. The movement of the port of
Veulce, in 1863, was, lanen, 2757 sailing vessel
and 337 steamers: and in ballast. 191 sailing
vesrb and 7 steamers; the total bcrden bdng
812,275 tons. The mercantile marine oi AuMna,
in January, 1864, consisted of 9491 vessels of
336,21.0 tons burden, and 33,695 sailors. The
vessels were divided into 63 steamers with a
force of 121,110 horse power, and the following
Bailing vessels, viz: 533 sea-going, 2090 coasters,
and 6205 fishing barks, lighters, etc. The value
of the merchandise that pased through the
custom houses of Austria, in 1863, was; Imports
by land, 214 million florins; by sea, 40 million
florins; exports by land, 239 million florins; by
sea, 62 million florins.
Previous to October 29, 1860, the whole legis
lative authority of the empire was vested in
the Emperor, who exercised supreme control iu
all the provinces, except Hungary, Croatia, and
TranF.vIvanla, the Diets being intrusted only
with the power of apportioning the supplies to
be contributed to thefdlftorent districts, in ac
cordance with the laws on financial affairs
flamed by the Ft"- . nd transmitted to
them to be registered. To remove the deep
seated dissatisfaction which bad existed lrom
long beiore the insurrection ot 1848, the
Emperor, however, at the date named, granted
a Constitution to the non-Hungarian States, and .
reaflirnied the ancient Constitutions of Hun
gary, Croatia, and Transylvania. This Constitu
tion, and subsequent concessions made Peb
ruary 26, 1861, granted to the Austrian Imperial
Parliament the regulation of all sublets ot
legislation in regard to the non-Hunearian
lrovinces, except those reserved specially to
the Provincial Diets, and fixed the law of repre
sentftlon, and an Imperial messaee of May 1,
1862, decreed the responsibility of Ministers.
The Imperial Parliament consists of two cham
bers. The upper cbnraber, or House of Lords,
is composed of the great princes of the Imperial
fnmily, sixty-two hereditary chiefs ot noble
families of high rank, from their extensive
territorial possesions, the Archbishops and
Bishops of princely rank, and forty-seven mem
bers appointed lor life. The lower chamber, or
House ot Representatives, is composed of three
hundred and torty-rhree members ot the Diets
of the non-Hungarian provinces appointed by
the direct vote of the Dietw. In Hungiry the
ancient monarchy and tho constitutional Par
liament are now fully restored, and Francis
Joseph only rules in that country as King, and
not as Emperor.
The Fall of Frankfort.
From the World.
The battle of Aachafl'cnburg, of which we have
as yet the merest telegraphic intelligence, may
be said to have been fought at the very gates 01
the Federal city of Franktort. Whether the
Prussian troops engaged In it were under the
commaud of Manteuffel or of Falkensteln we do
not yet know; but when we remember that we
received by the last steamer the news of a battle
fought at Kissingon, in Bavaria, between the
army ot Falkenstein and a portion of the Federal
torces, and that from Kissingen a tine road leads
fouthwestwardly a little more than forty miles
to At-charienburg, the inference would seem not
to De unreasonable that the bavarians, who re
ported thenjt-elves to have had the bettor of
ralkenstein at Kissingen, were in tact
beaten by him at that pleasant waterlug
place, and that the subsequent victory
of the Prussians at AschaUenburg has
not only compelled the evacuation of Frankfort,
but secured the junction of the two divisions of
the western army of Prussia, just as the victory
of Gftschin secured the lunction of her two
grand eastern armies and led directly to the
crowning triumph at Sudowa, or Koniggratz, as
the victors see fit to baptize it. One of the
probable Immediate results ot this western .
battle will be to deiach from the Austrian
alliance the already hesitating Grand Duke of
Biiden, who is exposed by it to the full shock of
the vengeance ot Prussia. Another will be to
put the unlucky Duke of Nassau absolutely into
the power of the puissant monarchy with which
be has been unwise enough to quarrel most
ostentatiously. Still a third will be to uncover
the western Hank both of Bavaria and Wurtoui
berg, and so to paralyze the etlorts of these
powers to carry help to the sorely Btraitened
Kaiser.
Aschaffenburg lies on the rtvpr Main, and on
ihe line of the Hanau Railway, iu-t about
twenty-five miles southeast of Frankfort, and
some forty miles east of the Federal fortress of
Mayencc. It is a picturesque old town, once
the capital of the Electors of Mavence, from
whom it was taken in 1814 to be given to Napo
leon's newly created King of Bavaria by the
allies, who, having overthrown, the creator
spared not a lew of his creatures. Its four
square old castle has seen many a sharp fight
and many a wondrous shuffle of the cards of
late; but it has never got itself beiore into his
tory in any connection so important as now.
