ENGLAND AND TIIE WAR.
From the S. 1. World,
It is now just abont twenty years since the
husband of Queon Victoria bronght down
upon himself the indignation of the ruling
classes of Great Dritaiu by incautiously avow
ing tbat be thought constitutional govern
ment to be on its trial in that country. Con
stitutional government would submit to no
such princely criticism, and many years of
devotion to tbe public interests hardly sufnoed
to restore to the princely critic the esteem
atd confidence of loyal England. The Prince
Consort sleeps now in bis gorgeous mauso
leum, upon which his inconsolable widow
has lavished as many tears and as much
magnificence as immortalized the sorrow of
Artemisia for her Carian lord. Constitutional
government in England has gone on from
bad to worse meanwhile, until it stands before
the world to-day, no longer on its trial, but
practically condemned, and, as one may say,
held for execution. Whatever else may
be reserved to be proved or disproved by the
terrible ordeal through which Europe now is
rastsiDg, this, at least, has been established
by it in the sight of all men, that the existing
constitutional government of England has
practicflly exhausted its capacity of useful
ness to the English people. It stands revealed
to-day, without a blow struck against it in
finger by any foreign prince or power, as
mtre a shell of shams and imbecilities as the
imperiul system which has been shattered in
France by the iron hand of invading Germany.
In its foreign relations the constitutional
monarchy of England has contrived to make
the country which it misadministers
and misrepresents at once odious and
contemptible. In its domestic relations
it has contrived to un3ottle all the
foundations of the social order without
preparing aDy available basis of political re
count reel ion in place of the system which
has gradually crumbled to pieces beneath it.
There is no evidence that the people of Eng
land have degenerated from the solid virtues
and the resolute national temper of their an
cestors. Their activity in all the varied occu
pations of civilized life was never greater,
never more successful than it no wig. In all the
more recent adventures of their national life
in the sharp trial of the Crimean war, in
the terrible crisis of the Indian mutiny, in
the short but severe strain of the Abyssinian
expedition the soldiers and sailors of Great
Britain approved themselves no unworthy
heirs of the heroes of Trafalgar
and of Waterloo. Nowhere in the
world have the nobler qualities of
clarity and humanity been more busily
and more intelligently developed than in
England during the last twenty years. No
v here in the civilized world are so many
voices sure to be raised in protest against any
act of national injustice, or in support of any
act of national magnanimity, as in the Britain
of our times. And yet nowhere in the oivi
lized world is there to be found a Government
so wretchedly incapable of national justice,
so miserably destitute of national magnani
mity, as the British Government of our times.
In the whole world, for example, there are
no two nations so closely oonnected with the
British people, or bo well entitled to con
sideration and justice at the hands of the
British Government, as the United States
and France. With the United States
Great Britain is connected by ties of blood,
cf language, of common and glorious tradi
tions, of religious and political sympathy, of
commerce and of material interest, as she is
connected with no other people. Yet no
sooner were the United States subjected to
the sorest trial of their history a trial in
volving their very existence as a nation and
those principles of freedom by which their
existence as a nation is made worth the hav
ing than the British Government adopted to
wards them a policy so irritating and bo selfish
as sufficed in the brief spnee of four or five
years thoroughly to alienate, not only from
the Government but from the people of
Great Britain, the good will and the respect
of all classes and of both sections of the
Americon people. Not even in Ireland,
which, after centuries of incessant opportu
nities to unite the Irish nation in friendship
with the English, the English Government
has succeeded in making her bitterest
Eoropean foe not even in Ireland is Great
Britain to-day more distrusted, despised, and
disliked than in America.
With Franco Great Britain has connections
only less various, less important, and less
intimate than those which attach her to the
United States. In all her history she has had
no ally so sincere and so constant as the
France of the second empire. To the French
alliance she is indebted for no slight share
of the great and growing prosperity which
has enabled her during the last twenty years
to bear up against the demoralizing and
paralyzing effects of her slow political decom
position. Yet no sooner had Franoe been
dragged by the imperial Government into
the hery furnace of - her present sore trial
than the British Government at once aban
doned all interest in her fate. And
now that the French people have shaken
off the incubus of the personal administration
to which they owe the collapse of their
armies and the peril of their state, the British
Government, as all our advices unite in forc
ing us to believe, interposes its influence,
not to facilitate but to thwart the establish
ment f freedom in France, not to hasten
but t adjourn tbe return of peace to Europe.
What the people of England are beginning
to think of this latest revelation of their trae
political condition, our despatches of yesterday
morning in a measure indicate. W e are not
dispot-ed to exaggerate the significance of
such demonstrations as were reoently made
in London against the Government of Queen
Victoria and the foreign policy of Great
Britain. We do not mistake men like Professor
Beasley and Mr. Odger for the heralds of a
new order of things in England, or infer from
the tumultuous applause with which their
denunciations of the Sovereign and of her
ministeis were received in the most
publio quarters of the British metropolis, that
England is upon the verge of a new revolu
tion. But the sting of these denunciations
consists in their truth; and the significance
of the demonstrations in the fact that they
only utter, in the hoarse, direct accents of
the demagogue, the bitter and biting facts
which Englishmen of all classes who are capa
ble of thinking at all, and who can measure the
estimate put now by all the world upon Eng.
land's position and England's influence, are
forced to recognize and to deplore. The
Great Britain of 1870 bears, indeed, to the
Great Britain of 1815 relation so like the
relation borne by the England of Charles I
to the England of Elizabeth, or by the Eng
land of James II to the England of Crom
v tll, that it is no wonder men's minds be ria
to reflect by what means alone it was that
tbe Commonwealth redeemed the shame of
the first Stuarts, and the great revolution
wiped away the reproach of the restoration.
TIIE LOSS OF THE CAPTAIN.
From the S. T. Tribune.
The loss of the splendid British iron-clad
Captain, in a gale off Cape Finisterre, seems
to be accepted by many naval critios as con
clusive against Capt. Cowper Coles' system
of Bea-going turret ships, of whioh she was
the first complete model. It Seems rash,
however, to draw such a deduction while the
story of the eighteen survivors is still un
heard; for the Captain had previously wea
thered a heavy gale in the Bay of Biscay, and
behaved so admirably as to give the authori
ties perfect confidence in her safety during
the hardest storms. The Captain, like the
Monarch, was an attempt to combine the in
vulnerability of a monitor with the sen
worthiness of a ship-of-the-line. In both
vessels it was believed that the problem of
uniting buoyancy with enormous thickness
of plating (six to ten inches) and weight
of armament had been finally solved. They
had two enormous turrets, placed
close together amidships, each mounting
two 25-ton rifled guns, throwing a solid
elongated projectile of GOO pounds, or a shell
of proportionate weight, and in the forecastle
and poop there were two or three bow guns
and etern chasers of smaller calibre. Full
ship-rigged, with two independent screws,
engines of extraordinary power, steering appa
ratus of curious perfection, and every modern
improvement which has ever been found of
value in the equipment of a ship-of-war, they
were generally regarded as the most magnifi
cent specimens of naval architecture the world
bad ever seen. The Monarch (the older of
the two) was not built strictly according to
Captain Coles' plan. Many important modi
fications were introduced at the suggestion of
Mr. Heed, the Chief Constructor of the Royal
Navy, the principal of which, if we are not
mistaken, was in giving her the compara
tively high freeboard of 14 feet above the
water line. This of course exposed an exten
sive surface to the fire of an enemy, but was
supposed to be essential for safety at sea;
and from similar considerations of safety the
forecastle was built up to a level with the top
of the turrets, thus depriving the ship of the
advantage of firing forward from her heavy
guns. Crptain Coles, an ofhoer who had
rendered himself famous both by brilliant
services in action during the Crimean war,
and by many ingenious improvements ia
naval construction and armament, was per
suaded that he could build a thoroughly sea
worthy turret-ship, with a low freeboard,
and carrying the heaviest guns and thickest
armor ever used at sea. He was allowed,
after long dispute and persistency, to make a
contract with the Lairds of Birkenhead for the
construction of a ship aocording to his plans,
and the Captain, named after the famous ves
sel which Nelson commanded at the battle of
Cape St. Vincent, was completed under this
arrangement only a few months ago. -
Her first cruise, we believe, was made in
company with the Monarch. A cable des
patch at the time represented her perform
ance as a disappointment; but mail advioes
proved this report to be entirely false. She
behaved admirably, both in rough and plea
sant weather, and under sail, in spite of cer
tain drawbacks which could easily be re
medied, she fairly beat the Monarch, which
latter ship, it will be remembered, when she
came to America with the remains of Mr.
Peabody, was the admiration of all our sail
ors for her speed, steadiness, and ease of
handling. The Captain afterward joined
Admiral Sir T. C. Symonds' squadron in the
Bay of Biscay, where, on the 30th of May,
the rode out a violent gale in the most beau
tiful manner, the waves sweeping over her
decks, while not a bucketful of water
entered the vessel. In the midst of the
storm the turret guns, by way of experiment,
were fired to windward, with full battering
charges. On another occasion the guns were
fired at a mark, in the midst of a heavy
storm, and at the third discharge the target
was demolished at a distance of 1000 yards.
If trial trips can prove anything, they seem
then to have proved that the Captain was in
far less danger of foundering than a wooden
ship of tbe same size, and we shall await with
curiosity the detailed accounts of this catas
trophe, which at first Bight seems to over
turn with one blow one of the most important
and persistently held theories of naval archi
tecture. Tbe loss of the Captain is the more
shocking because her designer, Captain Coles,
has perished with her. Another of the vio
tims, Mr. Cbilders, son of the First Lord of
the Admiralty, was, if our memory serves us,
one of the junior officers of the Monarch, on
her visit to this country. Lord Northbrook,
a third victim, was Under Secretary for War.
The commander of the unfortunate vessel was
Captain H. T. Burgoyne.
BEPUBLIC AND KING.
From the H. Y. Times.
The war news decides nothing. The Prus
sians are continuing their advance; the
Parisians are continuing their preparations
for defense. The new republio is distinctly
pledged to continue the war. The probability
is that if the Provisional Government had
resolved on any other course it would have
been swept out of the way. The people
helped to force on the war at first, and they
still demand its prosecution. At present no
temptations have been held out to them to
make peace. The King of Prussia makes no
Bign. The Btory came yesterday morning
tbat Bismarckdogs not want Alsace and Lor
raine, and that the English papers have much
exaggerated his expectations. But Bismarck
is not the man to disclose -his plans to any
but those who have the best right to be made
acquainted with them. The Jforth German
Cerrespondent is a better authority than pre
tended "interviewers," and that lends no
support to the theory that Germany will retire
from this conflict without any acquisitions of
territory.
There can be very little doubt that if the
King of Prussia could have had the ordering
of matters, Louis Napoleon would have es
caped. The capture of the Ex-Emperor was
very like that of Jefferson Davis. No one
wanted the prisoner. His arrest made no
existii g difficulty less troublesome than it
was before. In the Emperor's case, the con
quering party would have been substantially
better off without him. While the Empire
lasted, the undivided sympathies of every
free people were with Germany. But it is
very awkward to fulminate against a people
who are themselves struggling to be free.
Republics, at any rate, ought not to war
against Iiepublics. Prussia we will not say
Germany lost an important moral advan
tage when Napoleon surrendered. And of
what good is he? Who wanted him? It will
be exceedingly difficult to dispose of him
when the war is over. England gained no
credit by keeping the First Napoleon in per
petual captivity, and Prussia can scarcely
desire to Lave the honor of supporting the
Third Napoleon "in a manner befitting his
dignity" which appears to be the order
givtn by the King of Prussia thus far. Ho
was worth more to Prussia while hi acted as
a scape-goat for all the failures of French
commanders. '
But the most serious difficulty of all is this
the overthrow of the Empire has bronght
once more into prominence the views of King
William in relation to the theory of govern
ment. It has been positively asserted half a
dozen times that he will refuse to treat with
the republio. One aooount savs that he will
insist on the restoration of Napoleon, but
this is absolutely incredible. Bismarck will
have something to say on that question. An
other etory is that the King will only treat
with M. Thiers, a very old adherent of the
Orleanista, and this statement is more
probable than the other. They are both
consistent in the idea which ther give
of the King's objections to any Govern
ment not presided over by "Majesty."
King William, as everybody knows, is a be
liever in Divine right. A republio is
certainly not the form of government he
would have chosen for France. If he recog
nizes tbat Government, he will ratify the
choice which has actually been made. He is
thus placed in a great dilemma. It was in
evitable that the work of concluding peaoe
should be one of the most troublesome pro
blems connected with the war. In that the
power of numbers could no longer prevail.
The capture of the Emperor, while not giving
any mortification to France, has created a
serious embarrassment for Prussia. Bismarck
would, to doubt, know how to deal with the
difficulty. But Bismarck has told us that he
has always bad great difficulty in "managing"
tLe King, and on this occasion the King may
refuse to be managed.
We still prefer to hope that His Majesty
will treat with the Republic, and in such a
spirit as once more to throw the weight of
public opinion on tho side of Germany. That
is unquestionably his true policy. It may be
that the present provisional government will
not Btand we may say frankly that we do
not believe it will. But the Republic itself
can Mirvive modifications. Anything which
aimed at itx destruction could scarcely expect
to be popular on this side the Atlantic.
NATIONAL CONSOLIDATION AND TIIE
PAPACY.
fton the X Y. Herald.
The facts of how Italy "struggled gallantly
in Austria's loosening grasp," of her battles
and her final triumph, have been sung by the
poets, felt in the Parliaments, and acknow
ledged by the peoples. Her banner of terri
torial unification and national consolidation
held out hope to the Italians, spoke of en
franchisement to the French, and warmed the
Spaniards to a still more devoted love of citi
zen freedom and independence. Italy, her
self, has been incomplete notwithstanding.
She radiated the glow of Democratic heat
right out from her heart to the surrounding
nations, but it was too diffuse, the rays were
not sufficiently concentrated; it was light,
but light without general illumina
tion. The fact is, Italy wanted, still wants,
a central focus, a centre of authority, a
centre of law and order. She wants a point
for the "crowning of .the edifice." That centre
and point is Home. Deprived of her natural
capital, Italy remains a lusus among the
empires; a huge body with the caput of an
infant.
Italy is about to mature. She is about to
move to Borne and crown herself. The
people have spoken in France. The Iberian
Peninsula looks for light to the white cross
of Savoy waving in the cities of the Cicsars.
Italy must either abnegate her position and
lay down her crown. or seek to lead the way
for the healthy regeneration of the peoples
of Europe by acting as sponsor at their
baptism in the font of St. Peter's. The
special telegram reports from Europe which
appear in our columns go to show that
King Victor Emanuel feels that this great
crisis is now upon him. He has heard
the voice of the democracy. He has
consequently spoken to Borne. A special
envoy from Italy has had an audience
with Cardinal Antonelli. The Cardinal
still objects. Pio Nono looks to the sword
of Saint Peter; he speaks of the army and
clutches both the keys and the crown.
Eminent prelates who are still in Home
from foreign countries have advised his Holi
ness to abandon the attitude of war and make
terms with the Italians and their King. The
Italian Cabinet says that he must do so. It
has been resolved in Cabinet Council in
Florence that should the Pope still persist in
his resistance to the national will an Italian
army shall be marched into the Holy City at
once. This will lead to other new and exciting
events in the Old World. The issue will be
between the governmental spirit of the
C.rsars, the war spirit cf Charlemagne, the
ecclesiasto-imperialism ot the Popes, and the
indestructible mind of the masses. The
American people understand easily which will
triumph. The Pope will remain chief pastor
of Lis Church, but the people must become
free units of the vast congregation.
