that Dm mark would be Inveigled Into an offen
sive and defensive alliance against Oerrni"7,
The grossest mismanagement, however, was
manifest from the start. The French com
mander d d not attempt to take possession of
oae of the small Islands on the coast of Ilolsiein
or Scblcewlp, to serve as a bine of operations
and a place of refuge, but contented himself
with watching the enemy's seaboard, taking In
coal and supplies on the open sea, and never
coming to anchor except on retiring to the
neutral waters of Denmark. His vessels were
all of tuch great draught that it was
impossible to approach the German coast
near enough to Inflict any damage,
especially after the lights and buoys had been
removed and false lights erected to attract his
ships Into shallow water aud over torpedoes.
Ills fleet was subject to constant surprises at
night from the small Prussian acisos, and np to
the time of Napoleon's overthrow there was but
a single encounter of any importance with the
enemy. This occurred on August 17, when the
Prussian despatch-boat Grille started out of the
Bay of Kugen to reconnoitre, and succeeded in
drawing Into a fruitless chase 6even French
Iron-clada and two smaller vessels. Three
1 russian gunuoais soon joineu mo urine, ana a
running fight of tbreo hours ensued, in which
no damage was done to either fleet, after which
the Prussian vessels sought the protection of
their shore batteries. On the 21st of August
an equally farcical encounter took place ofl
Dant.lc, between the Prussian corvette Nymphe
and three French Iron-elails and a despatch
boat. This was the su.n and substance of the
naval operations in the Bultlc. The blockade
was not even effective, and vc-sels entered and
left the ports of DuiUic aud Kouuijjsberg
freely from first to last.
In the North Sea there was absolutely no
movements of sufficient consequence to record
in this summary. The French licet, formidable
in numbers and armament, labored under the
same disadvantages as that in the Baltic, and
the downfall of the Empire reduced both squad
rons to complete inactivity. The proclamation
ol the Republic was quietly, even enthusiasti
cally, acquiesced in by the navy; Fouricuon left
hie command to assume the functions of the
Ministry of Marine; and on September 11 the
blockade was formally and officially raised in
both the North Sea and the IJ.il tic, the greater
portion of the fleet beiug recalled to protect
Cherbourg, Havre, and Brest.
Subsequently, in October and November, the
pretense of another blockade was made, and the
order which bad been given for the restoration
of lights and buoys on the German coast was
Euspeisded. It amounted to nothing, however,
and the service of the North German ocean
steamers was resumed ubout the first of October,
with tolerable regularity and perfect impunity.
A large number of German merchant vessels,
however, were captured during the progress of
hostilities, aud a few engagements took place in
distant parts of the world. Ou the 10th of No
vember a naval duel took place off Havana be
tween the French war steamer Bouvet and the
Prussian war steamer Meteor, the former carry
ing five guns and eighty men, and the latter
three guns and sixty men. But little damage
was' done, the Meteor getting the best of the
encounter. A combat likewise took place at
some indefinite point In the Pacific, about the
20th of December, in which the Prussian frigate
Medusa is reported to have sunk two small
French gunboats. It has also been reported that
the Prussian corvette Augusta ran down aud
sunk a French gunboat off the coast of Spain on
the 12th of January, but no reliable particulars
of the encounter have been received.
MUSICAL. A.NO DIUII ITIC.
The City Amusement.
At the Chesntjt the standard dramas pre
sented last week attracted excellent audiences,
although the weather on several of the evenings
was exceedingly unfavorable. On Saturday
evening, in spite of the violent snow storm,
there was a large attendance to witness
Schiller'e wildly energetic play of The
Jiobbers, in which Mr. Thorne personated
the hero, "Charles de Moor." There Is
a vast diff erence in the quality of Schiller's early
and his later works, and The Robbers is in many
respects a model of misdirected energy aud bad
taste. It is a violent protest against legalised
wrong, and bears upon its surface the evidences
of being the work of a young man ef undisci
plined genius, who has not yet gauged his
own abilities or freed hinielf from the
influence of his literary models suiliciently
to avoid reproducing them. The play is full
of echoes of some of the most euergctic
passages in the Scriptures and die writings of
Shakespeare, and Schiller actually appears to
have been unable to command language of his
own in which to express the violence of his
emotions. The very faults of the play aid in
makine it popular upon the stage, and it is a
piece that is well worth seeing, for with all its
palpable faults of style the dramatic construc
tion is excellent, and it is undeniably a work of
genius. The part ol "Charles de Moor" is well
suited to Mr. Thome's style, and he played it
on Saturday evening with ail necessary vigor,
securing liberal tributes of applause from the
audience.
v The fctandard plays represented during the
past two weeks having been so successful, seve
ral of the roost popular will be repeated during

largely Increased company.
