ALARM1NO NEWS KHOM PARIS COUNT BISMARK
IN CONSULTATION WITH KINO , WILLIAM OF
PRUSSIA.
Berlin, April 8. Alarming news, tending to
the excitement anticipatory of war, has been
jeceived in this city from Paris. The intelli
gence is regarded as of such au important
character that the King of Prussia sent for
Count Bisraark, and had a special interview
with the Premier at the palace at two o'clock in
the morning on Sunday.
ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.
The Relations between
France and
Prussia.
The despatches we give above by the Atlantic
Cable show that Europe is even now trembling
upon the verge ot a great war greater, in all
probability, than hfetory has ever seen, bhould
the conflict take place, it will be due wholly to
the jealousy of the French people at the
enormous extension of the Prussian power.
From a nation of seventeen millions of people,
with territory scattered to the northern partot
Germany, Prussia, owinar to the victory ot Sa
dowa, has almost in a day become the controller
of the destinies ot all Germany, and wields the
military power of forty millions of people. In
territories now actually etteud from the Baltic
to the Alps. This stute ot affairs has excited
the Intense jealousy ot the French people,
wbose foreign pahcy for geLeratious has been
subverted by this change in the relative power
of Germany and Frauce. Having occupied,
withbriet irjtermisiion, since the time of Louis
XIV, the first positiou among the natlous of
Western Europe, France suddenly finds herself
in a secondaiy position, notwithbtsnding the
fact that 'she has had the credit
of having the ablest and the
most asttue monarch of modern
times upon the throne, Tbe siadden growth
of power on the part of Prussia was evidently
unexpected to the Emperor Napoleon, who un
doubtedly shares with his people the chagrin
they feel at the sudden elevation of the Prussian
pewer. Losing prestige abroad imperils his
throne; and the recent attacks of Messrs. Thiers
and Jules Favre upon his loreiga policy touch
his pride as a Frenchman and a monarch, as
well as his fears as the would-be founder of a
ereat dvnastv. Hence ibe rumors that reach
us that, spurred on by his own chagrin, as well
as by the great jealousy ol his people. janoieon
has taken suddea steps, which, to tho Bourse
and Stock Exchange of London, pre
sage war. It Is evident that, to
offset the enormous accretion to the
Prussian nower. Napoleon has either under
taken to demand the Rhine as a boundary, or
has insisted that Switzerland. iieitnum, and
Holland should hold the same relation to the
French Dower that Saxony, Wurteuiburit, aud
TtftvHi-in do to the Prussiau power In other
words, that those nations should form a French
Zoltvirein, in contradistinction to the German
Zollverein. which heretofore has prevailed east
f thp Rhine. Should this war take place and
there is everv reason to believe it will take
place--it will be short, sharp, and decisive,
Th Pirrwrienee of the cam naiiru which 'practi
cally ended with Sadowa, shows that the use
of railroads and telegraphs ha revoiuttouizea
the character of great campaigns, vr uen euor
tnmia mass of men cau be hurled upon
trlven points within marvellously short periods
of time, campaigns lose all tbe long and tedious

heretofore. It must be remembered that although
Prussia was victorious in the conflict with Aus
tria, that her military system cannot as yet have
extended over the rest of Germany, that the
la at vet confined to herown soldiers.
On the other hand, France at any moment is
capable of putting into th field six hundred
thousand of as good troops as there are In the
mrA. anA hhfnd these six hundred thousand
troops' is a nation valD, proud, and at the
lint with nasslon against Uismark ana
. n i .. th cnnHir't. tnlrn
place, it will clearly be for tbe possession, of
Belgium ana iiouauu, wun-u wumm.uo
time immemoilal been the battlefields in the
campaigns between France and the y"ou8
German powers. It ts not likely that. Eng.
land will be Involved in this war. Its effect
upon this country is difficult to determine. It
may be that the result to us would be beneficial
)il sending wJ ft layeetsaept bere, wbitU
could not be used with Europe in a state of war.
It would aleo create a demand tor our Drcad
stufls and provisions. So far as tbe public are
aware, the present condition of things is solely
with repaid to Luxenibourp, for which it seems
Napoleon had tnade a formal offer to the Dutch
(Jovcrninent; but tho difficulty was in the fact
tbat Prussia had already garrisoned it prin
cipal fortress. It Is undoubtedly upon the
possession of this Duchy that the' present con
flict originates.
In connection with the above, we add the
siCDlGcant speech martc last month In the North
(iermnn Parliament by Blsmark, when the new
Constitution was under consideration:
'The union between ISouth Germany and the
North German confcdprntlon is In course of
preparation. In all questions allectinsr the
power and position of Germany, the North and
Konth will bo united. I do not believe that tho
Diets of tho Btatcs of the Confederation will
reject the work agreed upon by the Parliament.
Let us do the work quickly. Let us place Ger
many in the saddle; we Bhall find her quite able
to ride."

broke op n the store door, burst open the fire
proof safe belongine to the West Chester Kail
road Company, but failed to realize their ex
pectations, not getting anything. Not a vestige of
a dollar did they get from the proof as the
funds had been just before removed. From
the money-drawer they obtained $1. No
clue has as yetbeen obtained to the depredators.

WASHINGTON.
The Russian Treaty.
From the N. Y, Tribune.
Washington, April 8, Admiral Fox, on his
Tcturn from his visit to Russia, told a triend in
this city that Prince Gortschakoff had said to
him in St. Petersburg, that the territory which
Russia iwni'd iu America was not only value
less to his Government, but was an expense and
trouble which the Czar would glndly be rid oi,
and a6iired him that Russia would be willing
to cede the territory to the United States as a
gift if it were desirable to the Iicp.ibllc. This is
certain. It is equally certain thiit Secretary
Seward knew of the lact. Untortunatcly for
our Treasury and our tax-payers, there is no
diplomatic glory to be trot out of accepting
a gilt. To make a reputation out of an acquisi
tion of territory readv to be handed over to us
as a sheer nieusure of relief to the Russian ex
chequer, Mr. Seward had to negotiate lor It,
throw away $10,000,000 for it, mysteriouly
wrap up the transaction in a secret
treaty, and suddenly appear in the Sentc,
alter tbe expiration ot the regular ses
sion of Congress, and urge the immediate
approvsl of tne treaty on tne erounds,
First, That the recion to lie acquired was rela
tively as valuable to Russia as Ireland is to
England; that in ciniato and the natural
wealth ot timber, grain, lands, fur-bearing ani
mals, and fisheries, and probably coal, and
eold, and silver, it was enormously valuable.
Second, That if we did not im.-nrdiately iaue it,
we should lose the opportunity, and it would
become the property of some other nation.
Third, That the treaty must be ratiBt'd
within ninety days r fail, and that, if it failed,
every Government In Europe would exult over
its miscarriage, and our friendly relations
with tbe powerful Russian empire would be
imperilled 6y the mortitlcation to which we had
subjected it throughout the world. There are
Seuators who wish that we had some form of
official responsibility by which a Secretary of
State could be suitably punished for secretly
and unadvisedly, and of nis own reckless folly
and waste! ulness, using the diplomatic machi
nery of the Government to get the country into
such a fix as he Is no w bej;edug the Senate to get
it out of. There are other Senators who laugh
at the Secretary's representation of the neces
sity of prompt action, and, indeed, of any action,
who know that the Czar does not care a button
whether the treaty is ratified or not, aud that
the whole scheme has been cooked up between
Mr. Seward aud the Russian Minister, for rea
sons purely personal to each. Tho treaty has a
jlause in it binding us to exercise Jurisdiction
over tbe territory, and giving government to
the forty thousand inhabitants that are now
crawling over it on snow-shoes. Some of these
are savage Indians of the most dangerous char
acter. Such on the coast murdered two boats
crews under the command of Behring, who was
himself buried ou the strait that bears
his name. What will the Government
of this iee-covered desert cost? It was
stated at the War Department yesterday that it
would require a reeinient of iulamry, tt costs
$1100 a year to maintain a single soldier In
Washington. It would cost twice as much iu
Seward's desert It costs $1,000,000 a year to
keep a man of-war at sea. We should have to
have at least six on the 3000 miles of Seward's
coast, as naval men say here. We should have
to institute a territorial government. What
wouldn't that eost? Indian wars would inevi
tably follow. They could not he avoided. On
the Nebraska plains it now costs us $115,000 to
kill one Indian. It would cost $300,000 a ,
head to kill Seward's Indians. There is not, in
the history of diplomacy, such insensate
lolly as this treaty; aud yet there is a
dahper that the 6chemo to run it throneh
the Senate, without publicity aud without con
sideration, is going to be crowned with imme
diate success. It was not under debate to-day,
but yet was up, in Parliamentary phrase. Long
documents about it from Mr. Seward, all
rhetorical, and abounding in his elltterini? gene
ralities, were read at tedious length. Trouble
some questions were put by practical Senators,
to which no answer could be got. Nobody
knew anything about the country, about the
savages, how many months in the year the
larger part of the region was in darkness, how
human life could be sustained there by civilized
men nothing was known, but there was a
deplorable impatience on the part of
too many Senators to get to a vote, so
as to get to their homes. Among too many of
them prevailed the idea, served up and swal
lowed with the treaty roast and the treaty
boiled at Mr. Seward's dinner table, that it is
latal for a public man in America to vote
auatnst an acquisition of territory. Even the
motion, it is said, which will be made to-morrow
to remove the injunction of secresy, aud to
debate the treaty in open Senate, will lail. Mr.
Sew ard has effectually cloaked both the debate
and the vote, but he intends tbat the ratifica
tion of the treaty shall uncloak him, and let
him out of the obscurity which for two years
hss covered him as with tbe pall of death, into
a glorious territorial extension splendor.
Another dinner party to Esquimaux Senators
wa given to night by the Secretary of State,
and the little entertainments will be continued
until the bird is picked. How lout; the delay in
the Senate will render the expense of these ele
gant dinners necessary on tbe part of the hos
pitable Secretary is yet impossible to surmise.
A step was taken which will assist in his relief
to-day. Senator Sumner, as Chairman of the
Foreien Affairs Committee, reported, as unani
mously instructed by the Committee, In favor
of ratifying the Russian treaty, and he
made a forcible and eloquent speech of
three hours and a half duration iu support
of the recommendation of the Committee. A
proposition was made to debate the subject iu
opeu sepslon, but Doolittle objected. The
Senate will meet an hoar earlier to-morrow for
the purpose of concluding the action at once,
the "Esquimaux rine" well knowing thatd!ay
is dangerous in such delicate matters. Con
sidering that tbe whole mutter has not been
before the public more than eight or ten days,
and tbat the purchase money will be but a tithe
ot the subtenance to which this gour
mand will lay claim, the "ring" has good reason
for mutual congratulation upon the ease aud
facility with which they have thus far succeeded
In advancing their expensive protege aud hood
winking well-meaning Senators.
Maximilian aud Ills Followers Saved
from PuuWtimeut.
From the X. Y. Herald.
Washington, April 8. The latest develop
ments here about the Mexicau com plication,
consist of correspondence of an important
character as to the proclaimed extreme measures
to be adorned by the Juarez party in their treat
ment of Imperial prisoners. On the 6th iust.
Count Wydeubruck, the Austrian Minister, ad
dressed a communication to Mr. Seward, an
nouncing that he had Just received instruc
tions trom his Government to represent to the
Government of the United States that the Em
peror Maximilian was at the present time sur
rounded by the Liberal forces under Juaree at
Queretaro, and there was some probability of
his falling Into the hands of the Liberal, in
which case the Emperor of Austria entertained
fears for tbe safety or the lite of his royal bro
ther. After tho manner in which the Liberals
had behaved towards the Imperial prisoners at
acatecas, his sovereign had instructed him to
request the interference of the UDited States
Government, in cae the Emperor Maximilian
should be" taken prisoner, to prevent bis execu
tion, or the execution of anv ot the Imperial
troops that may become prisoners of war. The
Emperor of Austria believed that the interven
tion of the United States Government would be
effectual in securing leniency to the Imperial
Prisoners, inasmuch as the Libera) cause would
be unable to sustain itself without the recogni
tion of the United States,
On ibe Cth instnpt Pecrctary Seward replied
to the Anhtrian M nlster, that Instructions had
been telegraphed to Minlnter Lewis P. Camp
bell, at New Orleans, on that dale, directing him
to tend a swllt messencer to Juarez, informing
htm that as it was probable, under existing cir
cumstances, that the Emperor Maximilian
would fall into his hands as a prisoner of war, it
would be rrearded as a friendly act towards the
United Ktates Government if all possible leniency
should be shown to him and the other imperial
prisoners, and thst a compliance with this re
quest would result beneticially to the Liberal
cause in Mexico. Mr. Seward also apprised
Count Wydeubruck that a copy of in
sl ructions to Minister Campbell were given
to Scnor Romero, the Mexican Minister
here, and that Mr Romero had promised
to communicate Immediately with his Govern
ment, and inlorm President Juarez ot the
wit-hes of the United States In the matter. On
the name dav that the instructions were tele
graphed tJ Minister Campbell, a despatch was
received Irom him by the Secretary of Slate
announcing tbat the instructions had been
received, and a special courier had been at
once started to Queretaro by the way of Tarn
pico, to present to Presidcnt'Juarcz the remon
strance of the United States Govern
ment in accordance wtth tho instructions
he hud received, the expense of the mes
senger to be borne by the United States.
The Warlike News from Europe.
The warlike news of troubles brewing be
tween France and Prussia created quite a sen
sation here to-day; but diplomacy is mum on
the subject. It is given out that our Govern
ment is not advised of any alarming complica
tions between tbe power" mentioned that ought
to h ad to a new war. The "bears" are believed
to have had something to do with it. Some
people assert that the difficulty, If one exists at
all, will be found to have grown out of the
negotiations for the acquisition of Luxembourg
by France.

more lhan another which led to the recent

A Question ok Phivu-eoe. A question has
been raised in England as to whether the
eldest sons of Bishops are entitled, like the
oldeBt sons of other Peers, to admission into
the Peers' Gallery in the House of Commons.
The entrte accorded to the eldest sons of lay
Peers is jnstilied on this grouud that they
will themselves one day become legislators,
and that therefore It is desirable that they
should see as much as they cau of the working
of the House of Commons before they take
their seats in the House of Lords. This parti
cular reason does not exist in the case of
Bishops, and some "unpleasantness," as it is
called, has arisen with regard to the eldest
son of a Bishop who Las, with the growing
talent peculiar to his family, succeeded iu
trampling down the scruples of the door
keepers, and making his way, as of right, into
the galkrj,

United States Senate Extra Session.
Washington, April 9. Mr. Trumbull (111.)
Introduced a resolution, which was adopted,
directing the Secretary of War to furnish to the
Senate lists of tbe names of volunteer otrioeis
now In the service of tbe Government, their
rauk, and the particular duties assigned to
thtm; lhat be Inform the Senate under wbat
inw they are retained, and whether some of
them may not be dispensed with without detri
ment to the public service.
Mr. Anthony (H. I.) oflejed a resolution pro
posing a new rule, that all resolutions calling
on the Executive or any of the Executive
liepartments for information, shall be -relvrred
to one of the staudlng com
mittees to Inquire Into the probable cost of fur
nishing the required informatlou. Mr. An
tliony said tbat such calls were frequently
made without knowing the cost involved, -clerks
having to boemployed for weeks to pre- ,
pare transcripts, sometimes of little value. It'
would be well to ascertain la advance the
p mount of labor required In snob, canes, and
whether the renult would Justify tbe outlay.
Mr. Trumbull suggested tbat the resolution
of the Benator be referred to the Committeeon
Printing, and it took that direction.
Mr. Thayer (Nebraska) said it would be reool
lected that during the last session of the Thirty "
ninth Congress, the Senator from Ohio (Mr.
Wade) o He red a resolution making Inquiry of
the President of the United Htates in regard to .
the absence of Alexander Cummings. Uovernor
of Colorado, from that Territory, how long ha
Had neen aoseni. etc. mac resolution was -modified
before It was passed so as to call for
Information regarding the absence of other -
Territorial rfllcers from the post of duty. Mr.
Thayer would now inquire whetherany response ",
ubu yet oeeu receiveu ia tuHtreuiiuiuar
The Chair replied that no reply had been :
received.
M r. Thayer offered the following resolution:
lit'solvrd. That the President be requested to
Inform the Senate when Alexander Cummings .
was appointed Governor of Colorado Territory,
now mucn oi ineiime ine saiu uummings nas .
been absent from the Territory since bis ap- '
pointmeut, and whether by permission or not,
and how much of the said time absent with per
mission, and bow much without permission. 1
and whether on public business or not, and '
whether his salary has been paid to him, as
salary, for tbe time he has been absent from '
the Territory, ;
Mr. Thayer said be had been Informed by
gentlemen who had an opportunity of know
lng the fact, that Governor Cummings, who '
was appointed Governor less than two years; ':
ago, had been absent from the Territory eight
months during that time. He was now absent. r
having been here - some four months. ' He '
therefore regarded it as a duty to bring this '
ease to the notice of the Senate. He had known i
Judges of the Territories to be absent year after -year,
and go out to them now and then, and, as it '
were, on pleasure trips. Huoh absences have '
become so habitual as to require the interposi
tion of Congress, .
Mr. liuckalew (Pa.) desired that the resolu
tion should go over until to-morrow. Heshould
regret to have tbe resolution passed and tbe
Senate adjourned without a response from'
the President, and with the ex parte '
statement of the Senate before the
country. There were explanations to r
be given, as far as Governor Cummings' '
present absence was concerned.
The Chair said that as oblectlon was made to '
the consideration of the resolution, it would '
go over.
Mr. Anlhnnv siihmff tatl nn i,.a, nwi
copips of the Army Register be printed for the
the Committee on Printing. i
On motion of Mr. Ramsay, the Senate went
into Executive session. r
