The scene of paramount interest Ehifts sud
denly and momentarily from the environs of
Paris to the borders of the States of the Church.
A united Italy, with Rome for its capital, is a
sentiment as widely spread and as deeply
rooted in the Italian Peninsula as the sentiment
of German unity in Germany itself. Napoleon
III, however, , was for eighteen years
the, one man who stood in the way
of its realization, and he has become, in turn,
the instrument of its probable consummation,
as he has become the instrument of giving to
German unity a stronger impetus than was im
parted to it by all the statecraft and intrigue of
Bismarck. The fond dream of a united Italy,
with the Eternal City for its capital, is upon
the point of realization; if the ex-Emperor had
bien content with absolute dominion in France,
years might yet have elapsed before it would
have become either probable or possible.

The KlngdOQi of Italy.
In consequence of the attempt in January,
1858, by Orsinl upon the life of Napoleon III,
a law directed against All "suspected individuals"
was enacted in Sardinia, and this circumstance
was significant of very close and friendly rela
tions between France and Sardinia. Austria at
once took the alarm, and began to suspect the
existence of intrigues between these two powers
having for their object her expulsion from
Lombardy and Venice. She therefore resorted to
a series of liberal measures for strengthening
her foothold in her Italian provinces, and at the
same time endeavored to fortify her position by
forming a league with the minor Italian States.
Naples and Modena were found willing to enter
into all Austrian projects, but the Duchess of
Parma and the Grand Duke of Tuscany de
clined. In August, 1859, it became known that
Sardinia had ceded to Russia a cite for a navy
yard at Villafranca, and the latter power made
an effort to purchase the petty principality of
Monaco, and secure a naval depot at Brlndlsi
from the King of Naples. Then followed the
matrimonial alliance between Prince Napoleon,
the French Emperor's cousin, and the Princess
Clothilde, daughter of King Victor Emanuel,
and all these circumstances forced Austria into
the belief that she was about to becpue the
object of a triple alliance. This was confirmed
by a few words spoken by Napoleon to the
Austrian Ambassador on New Year's day, 1859,
and both sides commenced their preparations
for war forthwith. The King of Naples en
deavored to stave off the impending revolution
in his dominions by setting free many political
prisoners. -The Grand Duke of Tuscany, the
Duke of Modena, and the Duchess of Parma,
unable to make a stand agaln9t the gathering
$torm, forsook their dominions, the Duke of
Modena taking bis political prisoners along
with him, and transferring them to the dun
geons of the Austrian fortress of Verona.
In April the Austrian General Gyulal sent au
ultimatum to Victor Emanuel, and immedi
ately marched his army across the Tlclno. On
the 20th of May the left wing of the Austrian
army was defeated by the combined forces of
France and Sardinia at Montebello, and their
right wing was on the point of being flanked as
the retult of the battles of Pal est ro, May 31 and
Jane 1, when they recrossed the Tlcino, but only
to sustain a complete rout in an open battle at Ma
genta, on the 4th of June. The victory of Solf erlno
(Jane 24) followed, and the war was brought
to a close by a personal Interview between the
French and Austrian Emperors at Villafranca,
July 11, and the subsequent treaty of Zurich,
November 10. As the result of this treaty,
Sardinia acquired a portion of Lombardy, for
which she agreed to pay Austria $42,000,000,
while Venice and the Lombardan fortresses of
Mantua and Peschiera were confirmed to Aus
tria, Napoleon subsequently receiving Savoy
and the county of Nice from Sardinia as com
pensation for bis timely assistance.
The restoration of the Grand Duke of Tus
cany and the Duke of Modena bad been stipu
lated by the treaty of peace, but the people of
these territories jini ted with those of portions
of the Pontifical States in protesting against the
- restoration of their former rulers, and under
the leadershlpof Garibaldi and other republican
leaders, a grand movement in favor of Italian
unity was started. Count Cavour had left Vic
tor Emanuel's Ministry on the signing of the
i'leliuUnajjes of Villafranca, but in January,
1SG0, he renamed bis premiership, and Parma
and Modena were at once annexed to Sardinia.
In March the people of Tuscany and the JEtul
lian provinces of the Pontifical ?'ates voted
overwhelmingly in favor of annexa
tion, in preference ' to being formed into a
separate kingdom, and on their incorporation
with Sardinia, the name of the kingdom was
changed to Italy. Meanwhile an insurrection
bad broken out in Sicily, at the head of which
Garibaldi placed himself. , The Neapolitan
troops were routed at CalaUQrnl on May 15; on
June 6 the Sicilian capital, Palermo, surren
dered; Mlozzo capitulated on July 27; and
King Bomba saw that his bold on
Sicily could no longer be maintained by
force of arms. Liberal concessions were
resorted to, as a forlorn hope for retaining
Naples, but they came too late. On August 19,
Garibaldi landed on the peninsula, and in a
short time, either through his own victories or
local insurrections, was master of the southern
portion of Naples. The King abandoned his
capital, and endeavored to make a stand at
Gacta. He left Naples on the afternoon of
September 6, and on the following morning
Garibaldi made a" triumphal entry
amidst the wildest enthusiasm of the
people. A last and dearly-bought victory
was won on the banks of the Volt urn o, after
which the liberator resigned the Dictatorship
which he had assumed and signed a proclama
tion by which the people of the Two Sicilies
were summoned, on October 21, to decide upon
their own destiny. After the occupation of
Naples by Garibaldi, the army of King Victor
Emanuel, who had given the insurrection his
open countenance from the first, had advanced
into Neapolitan territory and completed the
work.
The people decided, by a vote of 1,310,000 out
of 1,420,000, in favor of annexation to the king
dom of Italy. On November 7 the King made a
triumphal entry Into the city of Naples, with
Garibaldi at his side, and on February 14, 1801,
Gacta, the last post held by the former King of
Naples, surrendered, and Francis II, stripped Of
all semblance of power, sought a refuge in
Rome.
Victor Emanuel now found himself at the
head of a kingdom numbering 22,000,000
people; but the Pope still maintained his sway
over the natural capital of the peninsula and
the surrounding territory, and Austria still had
a foothold in Venctia. The Prusso-Austrlan
war of 1806 resulted in driving Austria beyond
the Alps, and rendering the borders of the new
kingdom of Italy conterminous with those of
the peninsula, with the single exception of Rome
and its petty dependencies. Italy declared war
against Austria on June 20, 18CG. A great battle
was fought at Custoea on June 24, in which the
Italians were worsted. They also sustained a
great naval defeat off Llssa on July 18; but
these reverses were compensated for by the
crushing defeats sustained by Austria at the
hands of Prussia, and in July the Italians over
ran Venetia almost without encountering resist
ance, an armistice being agreed upon on
the 29th.
A treaty of peace was finally concluded be
tween Italy and Austria on October 3, 1800, in
which Francis Joseph, the Emperor of Austria,
agreed that "so far as he is concerned Venetia
is acquired for Italy. A popular vote was
immediately taken, resulting in 611,753 votes for
annexation to Italy, and only 69 against! Upon
receiving this result from a Venetian deputa
tion, King Victor Emanuel exclaimed, as well
he might, "This day is the proudest of my life."
All Italy was at last united under one govern
ment, with the exception of the 4552 sqnare
miles of territory and 723,121 people still sub
ject to the dominion of the Pope.
Rome as the Capital of Italy.
And now, as Indicated by the latest despaches
from Europe, the grand consummation of Ita
lian nnity is about to be witnessed. The evacu
ation of the Eternal City by the French troopt,
which was completed on the 8th of August,
left the temporal power of the Pope
at the mercy of the Red Republicans, and to
avoid the establishment of a Republic in Rome
Victor Emanuel is about marching into the city
towards which tho eyes of all Italy have been
turned for years with an impatient longing.
WITH BAZAINE IN METZ.
The Marshal's Headquarters Tho Heart of (be
French Army.
A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
writes:
Bidding good-by to my friends of the Imperial
Guard, who bad been my captors, 1 again mounted,
and was accompanied by an escort to the head
quarters of the greatest olllcer in the French army.
It was a new sight to see the Internal economy of
a commander-in-chief's bureau in time of battle. We
were in a large hall forming a sort of pavilion in the
sadly ruined garden. At a long common deal table
were seated the Marshal and about twenty of the
superior ottlcers of his stair. Despatches were
written by dozens and signed by the secretary after
the Marshal had read them over, and the work
seemed to go on with the regularity of a counting
house. Messenger after messenger, mounted au'l
on foot, came at very frequent intervals. Their
reply was Immediately dictated aud sent back. la
the corner was an electric telegraph perpetually
ticking its tale from the most distant quarters, and
for about half an hour 1 was in the
iNKfcKJiOtf niAKT OP TnE FKENCfl ARM?,
watching its pulsations if I could not see the move
ments of its lunba. Presently the Marshal rose and
invited roe to seat myself beside him, asked me a
few questions, and then declared the whole thing to
be uue betUe on the part of the officers who arrested
me, but apologised for them by Baying that they
were so surrounded by Prussian spies, aud bad so
many in the town and camp, tht their own move
ments were known to the enemy almost better than
amongst themselves. Nevertheless, he refused to
give me safe conduct, for which 1 bad been hoping
all this time, and declared that no civilian cou.d he
admitted within the lines. One thing he did, he gave
me a launr-panner for that day, and I wended my way
back again through the huge camp I was forbidden
to enter, and ''taring a letter of reproof to my cap
tors; the which, however, I did not trouble to pre
sent my elf, but sent by a gendarme, wending my
way oack to Motz once more a free man. At a
distance
A LARGE CAMP IS VERT I'k'TfJKESQUE,
but it is most decidedly distance tnt lends enchant
n.ent to the scene; and the smell has a bjuquet
about it unrivalled even by your own "slums" la
Manchester. Sanitary arrangements seem to be
utterly ignored, and the only good thing about it is
that there is no overcrowding. Were it otherwise,
the most deadly part of war would be the en
campment of the soldiers. The tents are pitched at
about live yards apart, where tho ground allows of
it, each about three feet high at the apex, aud opeu
at one or botb ends. On the ground is shaken down
a few armfuls ol straw, wheu it can be procured, the
knapsack forms a pillow, and two men squeeze them -selves
in as best they may. What the condition of that
tent on a wet night may be can be Imagined. Tn
saturated clothes of the men Just, on their march,
the tent cover rendered impervious to ventilation
by the wet, the draiuage from the tents above soak
ing down into tho lower ones must make the atmos
pliure deadly poison; and 1 believe an enormous
proportion of sick were sent home to Paris just
before I reached Metz; and there axe a great
number in hospital here ready again. The great
safeguard of a French encampment is its extreme
mobility, and immediately a place becomes too foul
; to live on and it very soon does that it la moved to
I ano'ber location. Of course this can only be done
i ten plenty of available ground Is gbtauiaOle.whioli
at present Is the case on the undulating gro ind
round Metz. Tne spaoe Is, however, rapidly be
romlng leps only three miles in one direction, and
in no other more than seven miles, are nowavalable.
The Prussians, day by day, seem to thicken round
us, and day by day brings the great carnage nearer.
To-day heavy cannonading has been going on be-
fond Borny since 4 o'clock this afternoon. Whilst
am writing this heavy fusillade Is taking place, and
I fancy I detect the rapid rolling sound of the
mltrall'eur. I am now rushing off to nnd out what
1 can, but the streets are almost lmpissable to-day,
even on Toot. Thousands of troops are passing
through the town towards the Camp St, Mania, on
the western side of the Moselle, to which the Em
peror's carriages and personal attendants passed
this morning. Opposite the door or my hotel stand
the reserve ammunition wagons of Marshal Bizaitie's
corps; and the fourgons of the Intendancy, with the
treubure, are ready to start at any moment,
GEXEKAL TKOlilU.
Ills Kepatatlon as a Literary IHnn.
Park, Aug. si A few particulars concerning
General Troche, the new Governor of Paris, may ie
not uninteresting, lie is the author of a remark
able book npon the French army, the matter and
style of which are highly praised oy competent
critics. An objection to it is railed upon the ground
of its being pervaded by a religions spirit, which is
alleged to interfere, at times, with tie otherwise
clear perception of the writer. It is a singular ob
jection, and shows what are the sentiments of his
critics. The General is a devout Koman Catholic,
and asserts that "the soldier who Is a practical be
liever the Breton especially, makes the most
valiant trooper of the army, because he has
faith in the immortality of the soul, and
this faith in a resurrection helps him to die bravely
and well." One might, on reading these views, Im
agine one's self thrown back bodily into the old
Puritan times, with the "Praise Qod Barebone''
regiments over again in the flesh. The General's
theory is stoutly denied, and probably the hard
hearted critics are nearer the mark than the Gene
ra), when they say, somewhat irreverently, that "la
front of the enemy a soldier is more intent upon
killing his foe and saving his own skin than upon
thinking of the safety of his soul." Trochu's bo'ik
Is a formal, energetic, uncompromising protest
against favoritism in any form, the abuses and perils
.of which he points out with unsparing pen. His
quill is like a lancet. It probes the sore to the very
bone. Be denounces red-taptara, routine, old-notion
commissions, and the whole system of the military
administration of the empire, which, if persisted in,
"will imperil France should she be seriously at
tacked.''! orbach,Welssenburg,and Helschotrenseem
to have justified the veteran, though young, Gene
ral's forebodings. This outburst against the ad
ministration of Marshal Leboeuf, a thorough parti
san of the old system, brought him into disrepute
with the ex-Mlnlster of War, who set him quite
aside. When "men" came into request after the
recent reverses, Trochn found his place. He stands
in repute as a tactician, although he has never
manoeuvred with more than a division, and then
only at the end of a battle. At Magenta, where he
greatly distinguished hlmscir, the Austrians were
already retreating when he appeared upon the field.
AtSolferlno, Ills battalions wore most skilfully dis
posed for striking the last decisive blow, ills ad
vance suddenly arrested by the territlc storm
was one of the finest movements of the day. His
division was always regarded as a csrtaln. solid
reserve, to be thoroughly depended upon. At Sevas
topol he led an assault on the left of the fortress, at
the head of a brigade, and was disabled by a severe
wound. As aide-de-camp to Bugeaud, and chief of
Saint Arnaud's stair, he gained a largo and
valuable experience of the combinations the march
of an army necessitates, and though he had no op
portunity tn the Crimea, nor in Italy, of applying his
knowledge practically, upon a large scale, his ma
noeuvres at Magenta aud Solferlno demonstrated
that he had thoroughly understood the general plan
of these battles, and determined his own movements
upon it with mathematical precision. In a subordi
nate manner, he it was who presided over the battle
of the Alma, lie noticed the delay or the English
advance, and he suggested the change of plan this
delay rendered necessary. His antecedents, his
thorough honesty, his kind and conciliatory manner,
Ms well-known courage and indomitable energy and
firmness, Inspire the Parisians wltb the fullest confi
dence in him, and "Paris sleeps tranquil."
AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.
Rumored Alllanre Dancer to the Poles
Reasons lor Russia's Attitude.
The Vienna correspondent of the L'juttern Budget
tays, writing on the 19th ult. :
The Austrian nationalities cannot get over their
fear of Russia. Hitherto they have leared her as an
enemy ; now they fear her as a friend. The supposi
tion that Count Chotek's long journey from St.
Petersburg to Vienna was undertaken for some ot ter
object than change of air has put the Hungarians
in a ferment of alarm. The J'esther Lloyd fears that
some negotiations are in progress which might lead
to an alliance with Russia. Such an alliance, it
says, could only be effected at the expense of the
Poles; and it warns the Government against the
consequences or Its supposed policy. Until lately, it
proceeds, the Poles had the best prospect of ob
taining an extensive autonomy, but a sudden
change has now taken place in the intentions of the
Uovernment, and Count Potocki, at the moment
when the wishes of his countrymen were to be
leaiized, maintains an impenetrable reserve. The
alarming reports are also reproduced by the German
organs, but they do this, apparently, less from fear
of Prussia, or love for the Poles, with whom they
have as yet shown but little sympathy, than from a
certain weakness for Prussia. As yet. however,
there have been no trustworthy symptoms of such a
change in the relations between the Prusslau and
Austrian Governments. That it was considered
possible, is only shown by the belief of our national
politicians that the force of events might lead to
rapinuchewent, though they are unable to hazard any
conjectures as to the occasion, value, or extent or it.
This is due in a great measure to the ignorance
which prevails here as to the real
state of things In Prussia. Those who observe
and understand the course of Prussian
ail'alrs cannot doubt for a moment that the initia
tive of a friendly arrangement need not proceed
from the Austrian Government If people did not
undervalue the power which public opinion has ob
tained in Prussia during the last few years, they
would perceive that the attempt to etfect a rap
yrcchewient is not based on new absolutist projects,
but simply on the identity of the interests of the two
etr.tcs in the presence of the dangerous aggrandize
ment of Prussia. We have seen that at the begin
ning of the war the Russian U-ivernraent was
strongly disposed to take sides with Prussia, and
that it was only when, the national organs unani
mously pointed to the danger caused to Kussla by
the pangernianlst idea that a change occurred, and
the government entered on a path lu which Austria
could pot but meet it. To call this a diplo
matic conspiracy agaiust the freedom of the
European peoples is gbylWBly absurd. As for the
Poles, It Is a stereotyped accdBaliod SZtJ !e
Uovernment that it wishes to throw them as a bait
to Russia. The defeats of France have given Kussla
a suinclent guarantee that the Polish question can
not now be so easily or so quickly revised, and she
need not therefore trouble herself about the extent
of the concessions which are to be given to Olallcia.
Whether it would be advisable, at a moment when
the autonomy of Austria herself has to be protected
against Prussia, to give the Poles a sufficiently
large autonomy to enable them to attack Russia, is
a question which it is for the Austrian Government
alote to decide.
PARIS.
The Carpet Knlfhts French military Vanity
The 1-llshl ol Olllvler.
A Paris correspondent of the New York Evening
JW writes:
As is asserted, on French authority, the health of
the Prussian army is far from good. Exposure
without tents, the heavy rains, and the quantities of
unripe fruit eaten while on the march, have pro
duced something not unlike cholera, and this, added
to the difficulty of obtaining good provisions, tell
heavily upon the patriots wue have not been inured
to the privations of a professional soldier's life, like
their enemies. One of the first acts of Marshal
MacMahon, after his successful retreat from Woerth
to Chalons, was to send eighteen battalions of the
Mobile back to Paris. Nominally this was to garri
son the capital and allow these new soldiers to be
organized out of harm's way; tn reality it was to
get rid of a very troublesome contingent, whose ex
ample would have beeu pernicious to the other
corps.
During Ganrobert's administration these "hopes
of France" bad gotten quite beyond all control. The
proletarian element murmured at the privileges
grauted to their aristocratic comrades, and the
ruE, although ready enough to tight, were syba
rites whose experiences of hardship lu the post were
generally of the crumpled rose-leaf kind. Every
body complained of insufficient food and of lodg
ings swarming with vermin. But Jacques aud
Antoine were dlssatlsfjed because they were obliged
to submit to these trials aud discomforts while Oscar
and Alfred could get permission to take their meals
at a hotel aid have their boots eleaned by a groom
In livery, and could drive over the camp or into the
fceiKhburing city in a well-appointed Vlotorla seated
by Us tide of Madame Lais or Mile Aspasla, flaunt- i
lng It ont in all trie glories of satin and diamonds.
The fact is that the Moitrmelon might bava been
railed a snrrnrsal of Mabilleand the Pre auiClercs,
and so MacMahon, seeing that he must either shoot
a score of brawlers as examples, or else smd them
awav altogether, elected In favor of the latter. They
wen'totr patriotically gay from Paris, but how much
more llvelt they were when they were ordered back!
Not even did the decree that they must leave their
knapsacks, to replace those lost by MauMahon's men
in their retreat. aiT.ct their spirits; indeed, they
were rather relieved than otherwise, because it was
a sort of promise that they would not be sent
further on towards the front. So tncy rolled
np their things In blankets and tied them on their
manlv shoulders and went on their way rejoicing,
and were met at their entrance to Paris and con
gratulated upon their sacriiic?s, etc. etc. At pre
sent these heroes are at St. Maur in process of or
ganlzation. This completed, they will go to the
detached forts around the city; and here they will
do good service, for they are intelllgent,and although
wi hont the confidence in each other which keeps
trained soldiers In their places shoulder to shoulder,
like a wall of Iron, they will do as well as veterans
behind ramparts, andean (ire a gun or stop a bullet
just as well as though they had been ten years In
the service. .
ADOPT 0I.LIVIER.
The wretched Olllvler has left France for pastures
new, and has gone to study the scenery of the Lake
of Conio with nis young wife. Never has there been
such a collapse, in every sense of the word, as this
pedagogue, whose most serloHS victory has been
over fashion, In that he succeeded In cramming Mrs.
E. Olllvier's high-necked dresses and long sleeves
down people's throats at grand balls, on the plea of
republican simplicity. He was hooted at every pro
vincial railway station, and although he hod done
more to plunge the country Into Its present condition
than any other man In France, before he left he had
the assurance to Bend ud to the Kmpiess a list of
names of his friends for decorations on the Empe
ror's fete day, the 15th August.
it is a natutal step from the creature to his crea
tor. Olllvler was put in by "Plon Plon," and now
this individual, with a mind freed from all financial
fears, has been sent to employ his really fine diplo
matic talents in persuading his father-in-law to send
those 100,000 soldiers promised by Victor Emanuel
to France. "Put not thy trust in princes" is but too
true; the poor King dares not move a foot to help
his friend, although he thinks that he Is under some
obligations to him for the conquest of Lombardy and
the allowed annexation of the ductile" tn lsa9. Un
fortunately for this view of tho case, Prussia too has
some claims to Italian gratitude, for she wrested
. Venetia irom the Austrians, and did not even ask
for an equivalent Tne cession or savoy ami Nice
to France has always rankled in tho Italian mind,
and quite a large party hint plainly that these
provinces must be restored, and that they will be
only a fair price for Italian aid on either side.
FRENCH MILITARY VANITY.
The French paperscall the attention of the mili
tary authorities to the excellent system adopted by
the enemy in its reconnotssances, and say that while
French commanders are nearly always taken by sur
prise the Prussians are perfectly well informed of
the whereabouts of their adversaries. This Is In a
great degree owing to the vanity of the French offi
cers, who think that they can atlorrt to despise all
lnfoimation and every suggestion not coming from
one of themselves. Ilelore Woerth a captain on
outpost duty was warned by the peasants that a
body Of Lillians were cuiung me leiegrapn wires and
destroying the railroad, ills oj,ly answer was:
"What's that to me Q V re que ca me fait we are
not lighting with the telegraph, are we ?"
It Is very different on the other side ; there no
piece of inforiratlon is disregardsd, and a detach
ment at once proceeds to investigate the truth of
every report. The reconnolssances are made by
small bodies of picked horsemen under t he command
ol a chief of intelllgence.who can always find among
his troopers some one who has been born near the
frontier, or whose trade previous to the war had
brought blm Into relations with the country and its
Inhabitants. With such a guide it is Impossible to
make mistakes, and as each scout Is furnished with
a colored print of the various uniforms in the French
armv, he is able to inform the authorities exactly
what they wish to know.

ARMY PROrLAMATIOyS.
Prussian Discipline and Order Morale and
feeling of the Commanders.
Having given some of the proclamations issued by
the commanders of the German army corps, on as
Burning their respective commands, it may be proper
to give a few specimens of such army orders as were
Issued at the time of entering the enemy's domain.
They speak well for the discipline of the troops and
for the humanity which guides their leaders, all in
striking contrast to the repeated Instances of cruelty
and insubordination in the French army.
General Stelnmetz Issued the following army
order before passing the French boundaries :
Soldiers of the First Army: By command of his Ma
jesty we Khali to-morrow enter Fremiti territory. Let u.
hail tuie first result of oar own severe labors aud ef the
wisdom of our royal chief with a hearty hurrah. Your
patriotism, courage, and just pride, wbica forbid you
tamely to allow the insulu of an assuming enemy to pass
nnresented, are for me an ample pledge for your Kod
conduct in the impending war. You will yourselves
agree that the peace-loving inhabitants stand under the
protection of humanity, of Prussian discipline,
for the observance of botb of which I
confide in you. Wherever the enemy is to be met
let him be attacked with the utmost vigor. It is
a well known order of battle that the cavalry muke the
tint onset. When the thunder of the cannons is luard
let no one be found idle ; bat let each body of troops at
ome direct their march thitherward, and, having arrired
on the held of batt'e, endeavor to grasp intantly the plan
of action, that they may intelligently and without daisy
join the engagement. Let me remind jou also that what
can be accomplished in onedaymuet never occupv tw.
linly great energy will bring about great events and htsten
the return of peace, with which God will rrnwn our victory.

GENERAL VON BEYEK's ORDER.
The commander of the Badeu division, Oiueral

following proclamation:
ADMONITION AND WARNING TO TUB INHABITANTS OP
ALSACK,
I must address to you one earnest word. We are neigh
bors. In times of peace we have enjoyed couriiientntl in
tercourse witn one another. I appeal to you to hem kea to
the voice of humanity. This war has not been sought by
Germany, but now we are obliged to peuotrate your terri
tory. Kveiylife and ail pioperty tii.t can be spared we
tii.il regard as so much gained to religion aui morality.
Armed man oontend on the field of battle. We preserve
rigid discipline and shall protect defenseless oitizens. To
our deep regiet we have beeu compelled, by numerous
provocations and outrage, to adopt strict retaliatory mea
sures. 1 shall eipeol, therefore, iroin all the local aaloo
ritits, from all teachers, preachers, beads of families, and"
all subjects, that they avoid a 1 hostile mauifeatatmut
agairut my soldiers. All suffering that can beavoidedit
a beneficence in the eyes of the tireat JuJge of ail won.

THE CROWN TRIXCE.
Pen and Ink Photoaraph of Ills lllzhasss.
The Crown Prince of Prussia Is thus photographed
by the Time correvpoudeut:
Most people In England are familiar with the ap
pearance i f his Royal Highness, and I am not sure
that a Prussian would taae it as a compliment to
have it said of him "he bos a very Fug-Un look."
But it is lu face and figure; the light brown hair,
thick moustache and dense beard, not a'lowed to
exceed due proportions, are Ot-rman, or,at all events,
belong to our Crimean camp days; but the bright
blue eje, the honest full look, the broad brow, aud
the btonzed, ruddy cheek, have what we vain
Islanders call the regular John Bull look, aud there
are few men in the isle who cau boast a more now
erlul frame the head well set on large shoulders
nd immense breadth of chest. 1 lie 1'rince wears
the universal flat military cap, with red band, and
small circular rosette in front over the peak, a uni
form frock coat double breasted, with a single order
rcund bis neck, a star on bis breast, and loug boots,
the tops of which can be pulled up the thigh in wet
weather, lie sits his horse perfectly, aud lie his
tiiuorg his chargers at least four t for aDj thing."

The local money market exhibits no now fea
ture or substantial change. The nsual bank
statement last night shows a slight falling oil la
deposits, legal tenders nnd specie, but it is not
ot a character to affect the tone of lenders in
any appreciable degree. The increase of over
t3,C00,0OO in the clearings shows that the grow
ing ease which we have noticed for several
days proceeds from a tendency n the part of
the banks to expand their transactions conse
quent upon the passing away of all fears of a
ferlous stringency during the balance of the
fall. Rates are about the Bame as yesterday
both on call and time loans.
The war question in Europe appears to have
been fully discounted in the gold market, and it
is doubtful if the announcement of peace to-day
would vary the premium one-half per cent. Tho
sales to day, np to noon, were made alternately
at 113fail3K.
Government bonds are dull, but rriccs this
morning show a further advance In response to
a similar movement on the other side of the
water.
At the Stock Board tho business was light and
without variation in prices. City 6s sold at

Issued previous to 1802.
