2 THE NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. COMPILED EVERT DAT FOR EVKMNO TJtLBOBAPH. Europe The Threatening Aspect of Aflairs. From the Timet, At no period, either before or during the sharp and decisive German conflict, has the situation in Europe presented a darker aspect than it does now. We have Loudon news by the cable of yosterday's date. We have Contl ncntal reports scarcely forty-eight hours old. And unless we are altogether deceived as to the ources of the intelligence thus In ought hither, the grand contCNtJforpositlon,(or Influence, and for permanent political ascendancy In Europe is only fupt opening. The quarrel, from being primarily a Gorman, or, in a measure, a civil conflict, bids; fair to develop into a ftallo-I'russian War ostensibly for the revision of a boundary line marked out barely fifty years apto but. In reality, for thP ntatiiH and dignity of leadership in Continental Europe. The demands for teiri tonal compen sation submitted to Prussia by the French Cabinet, of which we had a pohitivp and distinct announcement in Monday's telegram, are to be mot, according to a spwi-otlioial Berlin journal, by a prompt 'retusal. These demands the Prussian organ, which speaks tor Bismarck, Characterizes as " absurd." It reminds the Government of the Emperor, that in the Ger man quarrel France has had nothing at stake. And tnc tone in which this la said as clearly indicates deliance as any semi-otlicial utter ance trom Prussia since the conflict began. Italy, meanwhile, will apparently cease to continue a party to the quarrel, by the cession of Venetia, to whih the Government of Vienna has consented; the term of the armistice between that power and Austria having been extended. In that result, the new conflict would be one involvina the question of German solidarity and strength, as against French aggrandizement and modern Ca'sarism. In such a contest Binmark would, doubtless carry with him far more of the sympathies of Liberal men throughout the world than he has done hitherto. Probable War Between France and Ger manyThe Ciitical Situation of Louis Napoleon. From the Herald. The age ot miracles has returned. The evi dence has been laid before our readers in the successive issues of this paper, since the laying of the Atlantic cable, and especially in our issue of Monday, with its copious budget of European news. Only look at it. Despatches down to Saturday night last from Loudon, Paris, and Florence, and down to Friday evening from Ber lin, Vienna, Cronstadt, and St. Petersburg, pub lished In the Herald ot Monday morning ! Throe columns of buch despatches in one issue of this journal 1 We are approaching in reality the boast of the lively fairy Puck, when he said, "I'll put a girdle round about the earth in forty minutes." There has never been such another marvel of newspaper euterprit-e in the Old World or tbe New as was given to our readers in their Ileraid of Monday morning. It marks the positive inauguration of a new epoch in modern journal ism, from which, as we go on, we promise tne great American public still more woudertul things. We have the experience, the men, and the means, and all the modern improvements and lacililies needed to keep pace with the pro gress ot the aue. and we do not intend that the Herald shall rear, upon th laurels u ha already gained. On tLe Atlantic cable we are like General Grant when he had fairly started his Rebel adversary on the race lor Richmond; for we intend to '"nghi it out on this line if it takes all summer'' and all winter too. One of our special despatches published on Monday, from Berlin, dated August 10, gives us intelligence whicli is second in importance only to the tremcudous battle and disastrous defeat ot the Auetrians at Sadowa or Kon'urgratz. We reter to the despatch which says "there is great excitement here" (in Berlin) inconsequence of the demand made upon Prussia by Fra.ice for the extension ot her tront er to the Rhine; that M. Benedetti (the French Minister) had left Berlin tor Paris on the evening of the 0th. His departure m the midst of that great excitement in the Prussian capital was very signilictmt. lie lelt tor Paris to warn or to consult the Em peror, because he saw that he could do nothing with this demand for the extension ot Fiance to tho Rhine. The later despatches lroin the same quarter, which we published yesterday, fully confirm this view of the German question. The Rhine is the p acred river ot the Germans. It is to tnem what tho Jordan was to the ancient Israelites, what the Ganges is to the Hindoos, what the Kile was and is to the Egyptians an object of veneration, airectlon, and devotion. The German calls the beautiful river of his fatherland "Our Father Rhine;" he sines of its hiilf and vales and vineyards, and of its people, as nil German on both banks that there is and shall be no divided authority on "Father Rhine.'' The lion. Mrs. Norton, in her exquisite poem of the young German soldier dying in Altriers, makes it his last wish that bis companion shall restore "My father's sword and mine, To our cottage wail in Biniren, Fair Hingen on the Rhine." And, in truth, from the poetic and seutimen tl nature ot the German, nis lovo ot "Father Rhine" is stroneer than death. When tho seaii official organ at Berlin, therefore, tells us that the question of the relinquishment of any of tue Gorman soil along the Rhine is not an in ternational but a national question, we can un derhand it. It means thai the German race, ot all their States and Principalities some sixty millions of Germans are prepared to he lit lor Father Rhine and their brethren on his banks, whatever may have been the promises ot Bisniaik or tn whatever shape may come the demands of Napoleon. There is danirer. then, we hold, in this demand of France for the lett bank ot tlie Rhine, but what is Nauoleon to ao? He has excited the hopes of the French people, and he cannot re cede wiinoui sometning ot disgrace anu oi pern to bis dynasty. But a war with Prusia tor this boundary will be a war with the whole German familv of slxtv millions. Austria will be power less to help him even if so inclined. Her Win- neror standi dn-graced among his own people iu Lis own capital. Italy is under the greatest oblications to Prussia, so that Naool.-on against Bisinnrk can hardlv expect a supporting hand from Victor Emanuel. Iu any event, in atreuipt lug to wrest bv torce of arms the lett bank of the Rhine from the German?, Napoleon wiil bo beaten. The thirty-six millions ot French people cannot cone with' the sixtv millions of the Ger mans. Let him try this rash experiment, and it will ruin him. He will be Oeaten, and his empire will be superseded wi'.h his lull by another French republic. Such are the damcers which now menace Napoleon; for the question ot the Rhine to the Germans, trom the mountains to the sea, Is "not an international but n national question." We shall watch with deep interest the coarse of Napoleon upon this deiicato f nd ilbugcrous question to its settlement. The Frontiers ot France. From Vie Datlu Newt. Long before hobtilities commenced between AuBtrla and Prussia and Italy, it was generally believed in political circles that, if the sove reigns of the last-named States should enlarge ' their territorial possessions, the Emperor Napo leon would require them to cede a portion of . Uiulr kingdoms to him, in order to restore the 'balance of power." At the war progressed IhU became more and more evident; and now that the sword has been sheathed for a time, to give diplomacy an opportunity to ctnlu1o a peace, we find tho phnx of the Tuilerlo lormally summoning th Court of Bsrlln to rectify the French frontiers by a transfer of Prussian territory. It was at first considered that Napoleon would bo patisficd with nothing than making the Rhine the eastern limit of his empire, but it has latterly been eeml-ollicia!ly intimated that he will be content with the frontier fixed by the Treaty of Paris of May 30, 1814, and the restora tion o"t the diBti lets which the Treaty of Paris ot November 20, 1815, removed from the domi nation of the French crown. A knowledge of the boundary lines detined by these treaties will, therefore, help to elucidate the subject in the new aspect in which it is now viewed. Tho treaty of 1814, which wa concluded between Louis XVIII and the allies, alter Na poleon's first overthrow and his retirement to Elba, pave .very liberal terras to France. By the k cond article of that treaty it was provided that France should be assured tho integrity of Its boundaries as they existed on January 1, 17!2, with such augmentation of territory as were comprised in the subsequent article. Some cessions of territory were therein made to France by the neighboring powers, and others were made by France to them, for mutual advantage and for the sake of more clearly defining iisfrontiers,"but whicb,"writes Allison, 'upon a balance ot cams and losses, gave it an increase of lour hundred and titty tbonsaud souls." France, however, had secured to it Avignon, the Venaisin, and the county of Montbelinrd, the first conquests of the Revolu tionary Government. The various cliuses of the third article specified a line ot demarcation on the side ot Bom i um, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy; that on the Spanish frontier remain ing as it was on January 1, 17U2. Tho most important clause was the fitth, by which the fortress of Landau, that prior to the year 17!)2 had formed an insulated point In Germany, was brouaht within tho French lroutier by the cesiou to that country of a part ot the departments of Mont Tonnerre and the Lower Rhine, by whicli acquisition the fortress and its district were joined to the kinudom. France consented, at tho same time, to abandon all pretension to any territories beyond the limits then detined; and tbe adjoining nations reserved the full right to fortify whatever point of their ftates they might judge tittiutr for their safety. It the French people had remained faithful to the Bourbon dynasty no alteration would have been made in the boundary lines thus agreed upon; but in the loll jwiim year, alter they had again rallied round the standards of Napoleon, ihe Hilied powers were Uet-ruiined upon re cehim? compensation lor the loss oi blood and treasure to which they hud once mote been sub jected; and much to tu priel of their leeiHmate sovereign, he was compelled to submit, t loss of territory as a ounishincnt for acts to v.hich he had been naturally and strenuously opposed. In a spirit ot revenge some ot tbe conquerors demanded that France should yield up the most important 'iroviuces, whicli, during the past two and a half eeuiurior. tlie niomirchs of tbe house of Bourbon had added to their dojiinious. Austria insisted upon receiv ing buck Alsace and Lorraine; Spain asked for the Basque provinces; Prussia rou.-idered that f-he would be insecure unless the frontier pro vinces that ud.oined the Rheuish section ot her kingdom were cc cd to her; while the Kin of the Netherlands demanded tue French fortresses on the Flemish border; and they supported their claims by keeping eight hundred thou sand troops on French soil, quartered upon the people. Fortunately for France, Russia being unable, to receive any benefit from concessions of territory, the Emperor Alexander stood by her side and sustained her in resisting 1he-o extraordinary demands. The negouati jus were, however, much protracted, and rome months elapsed beioro the detiuile treaty of pence was signed. Thoutrn the terms of this treaty were very humiliating to France, still they were tar from boing its severe as some ot the allies would have made them. It was considered that the indem nity due to the allied powers could not be either entirely teimoiial, or cntiielv pecuniary, with out prejudice to r ranee iu xnc one or tne orner of her essential interests and that a combina tion ol the two modes would avoid the iucon- enienccs that would result were either resorted to separately. The teiritonal concessions, which is all that we nave occasion to dent witn in tue rc.eiit article, consisted in a restoiatiou of the loundancs ot v ranee to tne state in which they stood in 17!tu,.with some slight mooliti cations on both sides, by which means the whole of the territory, tar from inconsiderable, gained by tue treaty ot 1W14, was resumed bv tbe allies, in consequence ot this the fortresses ot I'liillipsville nnd Maricnburg, with the territories belonging to them, and the Duchy ot Bouillon, were added to the Belgic provinces of the kingdom ot ihe Nether lands; and Sarre-Louis with its fortress, and arrebiuck were incorporated with Rhenish Prussia. The fortress t Landau and thalju cent district was likewise ceMed to Germany, and is now comprised within Rheuish Bavaria; the fortress, however, was declared the common property of the confederation, but has latterly Veen garrisoned by Bavarian troops. Further south the French lortress ot Huniugcn, which menaced Basle, was to be demolished; Versoix and a small district was ceded to the canton ot Geneva; and a portion of Savoy, which, in the treaty oi isiJ, r ranee w6 peruimou to re tain, was restored to tue kingdom of Sardinia. France, however, now owns tne whole ol svoy. which, with Nice, she has received for tne aid she gave to Italy in the war of 18j9. If, then, tho limperor Napoleon only demands the districts cotld In 1815 to Germany, it is evi dent that, should he obtain them, he will not acquire any very great amimou to nis Territory; Kt.t Inrlrneeoa ha nnillll ririivp until thmn 11 would grwatly strengthen his position on the German border, and their possession miirht eive him an opportunity, at a future day, by another move, to extend his empire to nisgranu oDiec- tive point, the western bank ot the Rhine. We are not yet informed what, in th? general settle ment of Europe, he will claim lioin Italy, though it is nretiv ucnerallv conceded that liis eve is steadily fixed on Ihe islaud ofSarilinia, which is more than likely to full within his grasp, "Mr. Gicelcy and Jell.

If Jefferson Davis la a "great criminal," who has "tortured, starved, aim poisoned tenn of thousands of Union soldiers,'' why is lie not tried if Why has he been kept fifteen months in irison, without being even indicted? Tho limes is in the confidence ot the President and the Secretary of State. Can it not invent some kicd of reason, pretext, excuse, apology, for the perMstcnt neglect cvon to indict Davis for the flagrant crimes whereof he is accused above? Wby should such a notorious.

Meantime, the seeming lion is constantly assuring the prey tbat he Is no real lion, but only "Snug tbe Joiner" compelled to roar and show his teeth to save him trom the bloodthirsty radicals. We refuse to play' the part assigned us In this paltry business.

It knows that we are hostile to none of them, ami that, In time ot need, we proved this at our cost. When "the masses ot Rebels" set to kill ing Unionists, as at Memphis, and moie recently at New Orleans, tbey compel us to resist them; bu t we m uch prefer th at t hey behave themselves, to that we shall not be oblnred to do so. The limi t well knows that we hope and labor for a "restoration of Vrotberhood among tho people." That is the end and aim of all our etlortf. It is a "restoration" which tramples four millions of loyal Southerners under the feet of domineering, persecutinsr "Rebel masses'' that we object to and are striving to defeat. We seek a "brotherhood"' that will Include tho whole American people steadfast Unionists as well as ex-Rebels all we ask ii that the former shall not be put under the feet of the latter. The Times is in favor of a "restoration" which makes the Rebels of the South supreme over tho rights and franchises of the loyal blacks. We protest against this, and demand a "recon struction" which ecures to nil, including loyal Southerners, equal rights and equal laws. Shall we again be accused of "opposing the restoration of brotherhood among the people V The North Carolina Constitution. From the World. Tho returns thus far received from North Carolina render it probablo that the new State Constitution has boon rejected. Some of the radicals, whose heads are as muddled as their hearts are malignant, exult in this as a triumph over President Johnson, and a defeat, in North Carolina, of his policy of reconstruc tion. On the contrary, the rejection of the proposed Constitution by a popular vote ex plodes the radical calumny that the Presi dent has interfered with the rights of the Btatrs by imposing on them constitutions to which he extorted their consent. All that President Johnson did was to protect tho Mates iu the formation of constitutions tor themselves, the people being as free in their action as they are in any ol the other States. If they cloct a convention to frame a constitu tion lor tt.eir consideration, t!iey can sanction or reject the draft, with the same freedom of choice w biuh would be exerted in the Stato of New i'orK. The lrtdoni with which the North Carolina Constitution has been canvassed, and its rejection (il the full returns shall show that ii lias lifcn rejected), u'tesi the freedom of poli tical action in that State, and vindicate Presi dent Johnson auuinst the charge ot imposinc upon me iruiiiiicru mates constitutions to wmeu i they do not consent.
