The London Fall Mall Gazelle has the follow in comparison of the Iron-clad fleets of France and Kngland: The French authorities always profess to make a great mystery about their Irou-clads, their number, tounage, guus, thickness of armor- plating, etc. cut It is only outsiders wno are rnyeiined. Everything which the French are doing and have doue is as well known, not ouly at Whitehall, out also at Vienna, uernn, ana at Petersburg, as It is at Brest or L'Orlent, Cher bourg or Toulon, ibe trench nave no on their list of iron-clads fifty-oue vessels: forty five of these are fluisbed and at sea, or could be at eea within a montb, six are bulldiug and not likely to be finished within the next two rears. Of these vessels no fewer thau thlrty-i-ix are wooden vessels razeed and Dialed with armor: only eleven are built en- tlrely of iron; only one. the Marengo, Is compo site, with a frame of iron and sides of wood coated w ith armor. The most costly French- built veeeel is the Couroune, which coat for hull and finings 191,000. Tbe most costly in tne whole fleet .Is tbe Kochambeau (late the Dun derberg), which tbe French bought from the United 8tates In 1807, paving 480,000 for her. Of which amount 440,000 is to this day re- B retted In French nautical circles. With the auderberg came also the Onondaga, which was cheap at !j0,000. Tbe three most for midable vessels which the French have ever planned are the Colbert, Trident, and Richelieu, which was begun last December ml Toulon. Tbe first two are elster fh'ps of 8314 tonf, 320 feet long, coated with 8 inch armor, and intended at preseut to carry th ftv ponderous guus. Tbe Richelieu is to be of the same length and armor, but of 7180 tons, These vessels will be larger tnau any Iron-clads ever yet projected, ine v ictnrieuse, another great iron-clad, of more than 4000 tons, figures in the French list, but this has only been 01 di led, and not jetbeirun.

Of the trench fleet, eleven are under 1200 tons, four , tceu uuder 8000. and fouiteea over 3000 but under 6000. Taking the mean average of tbe rpeed of all on trial trips, it gives scarcely 10 knots, the highest, the Marengo, giving only 14-5, and some us low as 7 knots. Toe average armor plating of tbe t rench vessels Is 5 inches, raugiug from 4 mches to 8 inches. Tbe thick est armor, however, is a mere belt above aud below the water line, and none of tbe French vessels have the powerful armored bulkhead across the stem and stern to save them from raking fire, under which thev would fall easy victims to an active enemy. The great weight of armor hicb tbe largest class of b rench ves sels carry is 1600 ions, and the smallest 279 tons, ann tneir greatest number or guus is 14. The English have now ready thirty-five iron clad vessels either at sea or ready for it, aud five more could be added to this number in less than three months forty in all. others. course, are building or launched, euch as the Sultan, Audacious, Invincible, iron Duke, Van- fuard, etc,, and could soou be got ready, till, in number, we should have fire vessels less than the French, though in actual fact our fleet as to theirs wonld be as one hundred to Any. in consequence of greater size, speed, strength, and armaments. The average tp ed t the whole Englifh fleet is as nearly ae possible 12 knots, the highest, tbe Aglncourt, being 14! knot, and the lowest," the Vixen, 8.894. Only four vessels in our list, the Enter ) rise, Vixen, Waterwltcp, and Viper, which are mere gunboat, though armorod and carrying hoax y guus, are smaller than those in the French na v. Class for class, we immensely exceed tbe French in tonnage thtckuess of armor aud number and weight of guns. The difference on tbe whole of the two lists may be represented between France and England as five to eight. REPORTS BY MAIL.'

The London Tunes of Julj 19 thas aaaouncea the declaration ol war by France against Prussia: "The greatest national crime that we have bad the pain of recording in these columns since the days of the first French empire has been consummated. War is declared an unjust but premeditated war. Th.i dire calamity, which overwhelms Europe with dismay, is, it is now too clear, the act of France of one man in France. It U the ultimate result of personal rule." The Times of the same date, in discussing the grievances of France, condemns her coarse in the following emphatic language: "No dispassionate person will now doubt that Fiance baa carried her fancied advantage too far. and she will find it extremely difficult to screen herself from the suspicion that the afm of her policy has all along been to lorce a quarrel upon Prussia, with a Bettled purpose either to light or to numoie ner, 11 sue perseveres in mail ing demands npon her after the resignation of the llohenzollern Prince has removed the last shadow of a pretext for hostility. The part as signed to M. Benedettl at Ems is only too much in keeping with the violent language in which the Due de Gramont first introduced the subject to the legislative body. However deeply France might resent the aflront put upon her by Prim's nnwise proposal, nothing can justify the delibe rate provocation with which tbe discourtesy of Spain nas been visitea upon rrussia. 11 ine in formation conveyed by the Berlin despatches yesterday be confirmed, if M. Benedettl urged upon tbe King of Prussia any demand what ever beyond tbe renunciation of Priuce Leopold, and if he did so in the unbe coming manner described. France must not only expect to see the tide of opinion set ting in against her, but she will also forfeit the sympathy which had been bestowed upon her on the first announcement of the alleged griev ance. She will stand forth as the disturber of the public peace, and justify those charges of which we were to the last desirous to acquit her. By going so far out of her way to seek one quarrel, France can scarcely anticipate ho many more she may bring upon herself; for, in our days, the manifold relations which bind States in a community of Interests cannot be partially deranged without giving rise to unfor seen complications. It is questionable whether any advantage lu tbe cabinet or any success lu the field be worth obtaining at such a prijo; and possibly, now that the Freuch statesmen bive wilfully brought themselves to tne ortnn 01 a war, they shudder at the prospect their own JUPUUCeB UGUD VIVIV KUlflA.

The London Spectator, of July 16 comments on the declaration 01 war in tue ioiiowmg forcible terms: "War was formally proclaimed by the French Government at 2 P. M. on Friday, in a mani festo to the Chambers, which, according to Rou ter, makes the pretext for war a circular from tbe King 01 rrussia, jusmying tne aurout 10 .u. Benedetti, and releasing Prince Leopold from oil obligation to decline the throne of Spain. Tne real cause of war, the vote Of fifty thou sand soldiers against the empire, Is of course not mentioned; but Paris has gone mad with patriotic pride, the French army is movlHg on tbe Rhine, aud Europe must pass through ayear, perhaps years, of misery, in order that one single man may secure me career ana ine psi' Hon of one single child. This war has no cause, no motive, no justification, save the fear of NftDoleon Bonaparte that without it his bov's succession would not be clear. The Emperor Napoleon has succeeded, by a series of Insults almost without precedent in diplomacy, in forcing tiermauy to war." Hadowa Alunt be Avenged. In commenting on the causes of the war, the Spectator says: "Tbe orators of the opposition made much of Sadowa. Hadowa reappeared too otten in the prefects' reports. Fifty thousand soldiers voted against the empire, and the main cause was be lieved to be the loss of military prestige France had suffered in Europe since Sadowa. If the dynasty were to last. If the soldiery were to bo always ready to fire upon Parisians, if the weakly lad now riding velocipedes was ever to ascend the throne, Hadowa must be avenqed That was the Emperor's conviction, and accord ingly, with that supreme selfishness, that callous recklessness of human misery which in all great crises he has invariably displayed, he resolved on war war with Prussia, with the Rhine for tbe nrize ! "Sadowa was not avenged because Serrano fled; there must be at least some open humilla tion of Prussia; and accordingly France de manded that King William as King should E ledge Prussia never to allow any member of er royal family, however distant, to ascend the throne of Spain that is, should acknowledge that be had commenced and had failed iu a gigantic intrigue. To make sure of a repulse, the French ambassador, M. Benedettl, received instructions which induced him to assail the King on the public promenade of Ems with this demand, an affront which, even in the history of French diplomacy, always able but so often arrogant, is almost without a parallel. It was met with haughty dignity, the King looking steadily at M. benedettl, ordered the aide-de-camp by kid side to inform him that be declined to receive him. having no further communication to make and the Emperor had at last succeeded. He had aroused the German heart at last. It was. then, insult that he meant to be accepted, under penalty of war. and Germany stood up ready for tbe inevitable couiuct. uool, cynical Berlin, which believes in no one, Hoheuzollerns and Providence included, no sooner heard of this incident than it rose storming for war, aud before these words reach our readers the orders w ill have been Issued which call iuto the field the army which won Sadowa. "This is, we believe, tbe ouly true, as it is cer tainly tbe only intelligible, explanation ol the astounding ii cidents of the week, and we ques tion if in history there is such another iustanee of an attack ou the human race in the Interest of an individual.

Pilnce Frederick Charles, the Commander tn I'hlel or the Army of the Ithlne. The leading General ef the Prussian army is one who has as yet received very little attention from tbe American press. In Prussia he is re garded as far superior to the Crown Prince, and as the equal if not the superior of the veteran Von Moltke. Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, present Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian army of the Rhine, son of Prince Frederick, was born March 20, 1828. He is the beloved Charles Alexander, and nephew of the King, chief of his army and a man of such extraordi nary military talents that we might safely pro nounce him a military genius. The eyes of the entire German people are now turned upon him lu unlimited trust ana connaence. it would be interesting as well as instructive to follow step Btep by the formation and developmentof this ex traordinary character, but, even if oar space did not forbid entering into minute details, the re luctance of the Prince to all publicity, and his stern refusal to furnish his biographers any in formation beyond what has already cecotne his torical concerning him, would preclude all idea of such an undertaking. Like all Prussian princes, Frederick Charles had to enter the Prussian army when scarcely ten years old, it being considered necessary tbat every de scendant ot the house of llohenzollern, no matter what his individual inclination may be, should become fully acquainted with the military service of his country, and tbat what ever career he may ultimately follow he may be called npon at any moment to draw his sword lor tne aeiense 01 r atnenana in times ot danger. With Frederick Charles thero was no need of compulsion. The warlike spirit of his ancestors animated him . even in his earliest youth, and induced him to devote himself with cntnusiasm to ms military studies. 1 no result of this innate love of everything connected with the army soon became apparent in the rapid progress he made in the military school of instruction. Tbe study of the life aad glorious deeds ot Frederick the Great filled his leisure hours, and it is said tbat he was, on several occasions, severely reprimanded tor pass ing entire nights over the "Seven Years War and the study of the plans of battle adopted by that Illustrious cap tain. At the outbreak of the first war of Schleswlg-Ilolstein, in 1848, he was assigned to the staft of tbe Commander-in-Cbief of the Prussian forces, General von Wrangel, when, at the battle of Schleswlg, his impetuosity and his entire disregard of all danger, while imperilling bis life at every Instant, did not fail to encou rage the troops, and materially aided in secur ing the victory to the Prussian eagle. During the campaign in Baden in 1849 he likewise dis tinguished himself on various occasions. Fif teen years of peace now followed, during which the Prince resumed his theoretical studies of tbe science of war, made himself familiar with all branches of the army, and showed conclu sively his superior talent for the organi zation as well as for the skilful disposition of large armies. The disregard of treaties bv Denmark resulting in a . declaration of war against that power by Aus tria and Prussia, the second campaign in Schleswig-Holstein was Boon entered upon, and although General von Wrangel was at first appointed Uommander-inrblet ol tbe combined armies, the command of the Prussian division was Intrusted to Prince Frederick Charles, December 15, 1863. He at once recognized the fortified place of Duppel to he one of the great est Danish strongholds, and a formidable barrier to the advance 01 tne ueruiaa armies into Dan ish territory. He therefore decided upon a regular siege and investment of the position. The severity of the winter in these northern latitudes interfered considerably with his opera tions, ana it was not until April, isol, that be thought it safe to order first the bombardment and then tbe storming 01 tne loruncations. Twice the assault was repulsed with serious slaughter, until at last the intrepid commander grasped tbe flag of the regiment of Royal Guards and, personally leading bis troops to a third attacK, drove tne enemy out his stronghold and . gainod a decided victory, the Danes losing over 5000 men and 118 pieces of artillery. Being de feated in several other important engagements, the Danes saw the impossibility of further re sistance, and a treaty of peace was signed on October 30, 1864. At the outbreak of hostilities between Prussia and Austria in 1800, Prince Frederick Charles was called to the command of tbe 1st Division of the Prussian army, imme diately marched his troops to the frontier, whlcn ne crossed on June 2.J, ana la ordering the attack upon the forces of tho enemy, ad dressed his men with the words: "May your hearts beat towards God and your fists upon the enemy. ' A succession of splendid victories at Liebeuou, Turnau, Podols, Munchengratz, and Gitschin having forced the enemy into the interior of Bohemia, Prince Frederic Charles, wno Knew tne Austrian to nave occupied a formidable position on the heights beyond tbe Bistntz, requested tbe Crown Prince Frederick W illiam to come to his assistance with the 2d Division of tbe army, but attacked the enemy on the morning of July 3, without awaiting his arrival. The Prussians fougnt desperately, but tbe position ot tbe enemy was 60 well chosen, and their artillery so favorably placed, that tbe Prince could not gain a decided advantage over them, and It was not uutll the arrival of tbe 2d Division, under the Crown Prince, tbat tbe enemy lost ground, retreated uuder tbe deadly fire of the Prussians, and was finally completely routed, rnnning in all direc tions, ana in tne wildest couiusioq. mis eoaea the celebrated battle of Sadowa. Tho enemy was pursued from tbe 5th to the 12th. Brunn was taken, and the frusaian troops touua them selves near the capital of Austria, ready at a moment's notice to march upon Vienna. The Interference of France resulting in the treaty of Pragne, this ever memdrabla campaign was at an end, Austria numiuaiea, ana ner lormer military prestige lost iorever. as migut be anticipated from a man who had taken such a conspicuous part in the brilliant achievements of the Prussian army, our hero, although proud of bis troops, and willingly admlttlug their superiority over any European army which could tben' be marshalled against them, had nevertheless become awaie of - eome serious . drawbacks and errors hitherto overlooked in tbe organization of the Prussian army, and at once concluded to advocate such reforms as his ex perience bad convinced him to bo absolutely necessary.

The Moo from Treves to literal. A cable despatch from London reports four hundred thousand Prussians coucentraled be tween Treves ani Merzig. Merzig is situated on the river Saar. twenty-two miles south of the first named position. As such a line as is here described, running from south to north, instead of southeast and northwest, exposes the Uok and rear of the Prussian army to an attack by way of Saarqnemines, Neunkirchen, and Frede ricnstbal), the truth of the report may be doubt ful. The aliened position of the Prussians also enables the Frcuch army to keep its centre steady, while the wings close in npon the Prus sians. A glance at a map will show tbat unless tlie Prussian line is extended beyond 8aarbuck, its extreme left can be turned and driven in upon tbe centre. The Saar river, on which Merzig is situated and which seems to form a natural fortification, is a stream some 120 miles in length, of which barely fifty miles are navigable. Should tho Prussians be posted on the right bank they can effectually prevent any crossing In front by the French. Bat what would otherwise be a source of advantage to them is neutralized by the fact that it enables tbe French to mass an overwhelming force on their extreme left, which is precisely what the French will do if the position of their enemy Is as ttated in tho reports. . GERMANY IN AMERICA. General Franz Bljrel on the European War. A reporter of the N. Y. Times lately called upon General Franz Sigel, and received tbe fol low it: g views from him on the European war: Tbe General 6tated that he wonld like to go to Germany, and to bo with tbe German army as agent of the German Patriotic Aid Society of this city and country. But if going there he would go as an American citizen, not desiring to gUc up his American citizenship aud to enter Torelgu military service. He believed that tho war would not last very long, and that it would bo concluded either by next winter or early in the spring. As reasons for this opinion ho said that tbe war would absorb too many men and too much means for two European nations like those engaged la it, with their heavy burdens of public debts, with which especially France was saddled, to stand it any longer. In the present war no experiments would be made, but all knowu great principles of strategy would be brought to bear against each other by both belligerents at once, and in the mala only decisive battles would be fought. These battles would be fongbton tho Rhine. Tho war would doubtless bo very bloody, aud a decisive battle mUht cost either side from 40.000 to 50.000 men. As to the relative superiority of the Chassepot or ncedle-gnu, the General stated that the former had a more simple mechanism and would be fired fonr times, while, the latter was fired only three times, but tbe latttcr would shoot fnrtner, and could be kept more easily ia order. It could not be Bald which of the two arms was the superior. While Germany (the German part of Austria excluded) and France were about equal iu their populations (each number ing about 38,000,000 inhabitants), the number of men able to bear arms was ia Germany arger than in Frauce. ' r '1 he war would be won by that one of the bel ligerent parties tbat could in the shortest time rally the largest number of troops aud would show the greatest gallantry and rkill. Thus tbe war would be decided. If the Germans should win they could more easily go into the interior of France toward Paris than tbe French could go, if victorious, into the interior of Germany toward Berlin.. The reason for this was tbat in France in that direction tho course of the rivers flowing from east to west and the lines of opera tion were alike, while in Germany the rivers, with the exception of the Moselle, flowing from south to north, were natural barriers for defense, instancing the Rhine, Weser, and Elbe. ' As to tbe Germans in this country who in tended to go back to Germany in order to join tbe German army, the General knew no particu lars, lie btated tbat those who were natural ized citizens and intended to dp bo. bad to re- emigrate to uermany. It Franco is victorious in tho struggle, she will have made one great step forward in tbe conquest of England. She will be able at some auspicious moment to surprise and beat the English before any other nation will have time to interfere. France will then realize the Napo leonic idea of a great centralized Empire ot Western Europe, and substitute that Empire to the proposed constitutional or republican con federation of the "United Slates of Western Europe." If, on the other band, Prussia, that is, Germany, comes out victorious, such a cen tralized empire will not be possible, or at least probable, because it would be against the Germanic and American idea of self-government, as represented in Switzerland, the Free Cities, the North German Confederation, and tbe United States of America. Germany will bo united, bnt will preserve political life in all her parts, and will never be cut up ia unnatural fractions, like they are presented by the De parlments in Franco. t THE CABINET. Formidable Polltlral Movemento-l'ennaylf a uia'a Cuaacm. The New York World' Washington corres pondent writes: A private letter received here from Long Branch, from a quarter entitled to credit, says tbat the President's 6uddcn intention of going to St. Louis is to escape a formidable movement of politicians wno desire to impress upon ulin tho necessity of remodelling his Cabinet so as te give Pennsylvania a representative, in order that the October election may Le carried ia that Stale. Simon Cameron, it is said, hoads tbe movement, which the President has knowledge of in time to escape. However, the President writes to Gen. Deut from Long Branch that he is enjoying himself, and that he is less run down with office-seekers and persons wishing to cou- eult with blm than he expected. He further states that although be is receiving many re quests for an extra session of Congress, be will not call one except it be demonstrated by the actual commcuceincnt of hostilities iu Europe that the interests, commercial and political, of the country demand it. lu about ten days he will visit St. Louis and other portions of the West.

The money market to-day is without notice able feature, the rates on call ranging from per cent, and from fiS per cent, for prime dis counts of short date. These figures are ratber high compared with those ruling in New York, aud it 1b difficult to account for tbe fact in view of tbe immense demand each day in that city for purposes of speculation. In this market money Is in abundance and accessible at the atove rates to all possessed of first-class credit or ample collaterals, but without these requisites borrowers generally receive a cold shoulder from lenders generally. The gold market continues quite active and strong, with sales ranging from 121ai21f, closing about noon at 121. Government bonds still tend upward, and we notice a further advance of about X per cent, all through the list. Mocks were active and strong. In City 6s there were sales of tho new at 100.
