THE DAILY EVtfMNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY , MAY 1, 1871. FOREIGN ITE1I3. A pamphlet under the title of Note ur V Organiiation Mihtaire de la Confederation de I'AUtmagne du Nord, written by Napoleon III at Wilnelmshohe, has just appeared at Brussels. It docs not contain anything new as regards the North Grman army, bat the position of its author gives a speoial interest to some remarks he makes on the causes of the Frenoh defeats. "Before the misfortunes of 1870," he says, "no weight was attached to the opinion of those who declared that the military organization of onr conntry stands in no relation to its political status. Before the campaign of 1870 the Artillery Committee would not admit that the material of the Prussian artillery was more complete and practical than onrs, and the Engineer Committee declared that our fortresses were not too numerous, and that they were in a condition to resist the new Artillery. It would not allow that ono-hitlf of onr fortresses must be razed and the other half rebuilt in accordance with the system which has made Antwerp one of the first fort resses in the world. It required such and events as those we have witnessed to make General Coffinieres a general of engineers admit before a council of war that Matz could not withstand a siege of fourteen days if it lofct the protection of Marshal Bazaine's army. Before tho campaign- of 1870 the mili tary administration obstinately opposed the views of those who advised that the country should be divided into districts, each with a eorpt d'aruiee capable of providing itself with every requisite for the field in its own dis trict." In another passage, after highly praising the discipline of the Prussian army, the ex-Emperor prooeeJs: "Between the leading principle of the Prussian army, which looks upon the will of the KiDg was the highest law, and the injuri ous maxims which prevail among us, there is a wide interval. What do we hear on every occasion ? I serve my country, not an indi vidual; and this phrase, whioh is supposed to elevate one's personal dignity, is really only a mask for all disloyalty, skepticism, and breaches of faith. In every monarchy the sovereign is the oommander-in-ohief of the army, and every man under the flag serves him and owes him obedience and loyalty, for the sovereign represents the whole nation. "Without this principle there is neither disci pline nor order in the ranks, nor security for society." An artiolejin the'AUgemcineZcitung sharply criticizes the present organization of the Ger man navy. The author saja that the naval administration, from its chief downwards, is "hemmed in between the army on the one Bide and the bureaucracy on the other. Its commander-in-chief is a general; the most important posts of the department are held by pensioned army intendants and other landsmen; so that, with the exoeption of a few of the younger and more influential men, the director of the office, Admiral Jaohmann, is alone capable of giving due influence to ' he opinions of ttC2e irho Lave a practioal acquaintance with naval affairs. This ac counts for the lukewarmness and in difference with which the department conducts its business." The writer proceeds to show that during the war the want of a Minister of Marine was constantly felt, the War Minister, General von lloon, having found it impossible to attend to the army in Trance and to the fleet in the North Sea as well. As to the officers, "there are doubtless distinguished men among them, but a thorough awakening of their professional spirit would do no harm." The article far ther points out that there has been a stagna tion of promotion in the navy, owing to vacan cies (of which there are several in the estab lishments of most ships on active service) not having been filled up, and that the pay of the officers, and especially of the surgeons, chap lains, engineers, and paymasters, is much too low. On the Bubject of explosive cartridges a correspondent of the Pull Mall Gazette writes as follows: You will doubtless remember a certain vigorous despatch, published some months ago, in which Count Bismarck ac cused the French troops of some praotioea "contrary to the usages of eivilized warfare;" among other things of firing explosive bul lets and bullets cut up into small pieces. Bearing this in mind, I was surprised the other day to meet with the two following pas sages in well-known standard German mili tary works: 1. In the twelfth edition of "Organization and Infantry Service of the Royal Prussian Army," by Lieutenant-General A. von Witzleben. published at Berlin in 1871, and founded upon "Regula tions for the Instruction of Troops in Field bervice, etc. dated Jane, 18 i0, we find it stated at page 834 (volume 2), in the in structions for the attack of isolated buildings, that "the explosive cartridges served out to infantry are peculiarly applicable to this ser vice. I presume that "explosive cartridges" ( expiositions-patronen ) can only mean car tridges containing explosive bullets. 2. In the first volume of "Bushbeck s Manual for Officers of All Arms," published at Berlin in 1809, we find at page 94 a description of the various patterns of small-arm ammunition, inciuaing "bucKsnot cartridges (uepnosten patronen;, "wnicn contain six buckshot in addition to the ordinary bullet, whioh would certainly be as destructive ana unusual as Lnllets cut up Into small pieoes. I suppose that neither explosive bullets nor buokshot cart ridges were used by the Germans in the late war; but if it be true that they still manufac ture and issue these missiles, tho use of which is particularly recommended to their officers on certain occasions, I think that some day we shall read a des paten in which Prinoe Bis xnarck win lntorm us mat it cannot with jus tice be said that the employment of these projectiles is contrary to the "rules of war." True, there was the convention of St. Peters burg, whioh Prussia signed, but it can easily be shown that "circumstances have altered." The bt. Petersburg Cabinet has taught that ranch. VT 1 1 xmoi many montns ago, writes a corres pondent of an English paper, the pay of all Government employes in Egypt was reduoed, and now they have to give up 5 per cent, of their reduoed salary. A new tax of some uastres nas been put upon every fedan of and. In some departments the employes are seven montns in arrears or pay, and nave not a morsel or tread in tneir homes. The Deo. pie are being extensively seized to make sol diers of tnem. nen I go out early, I meet soldiers bringing men aud young lads into town, all of them tied together, and the sol diers conducting them to the citadel to be ex amined and passed by the military dootors . They are taken anawares at night while yet asleep. Everybody here seems to think that the Khedive is to take a decided and bold step soon, and it is well known that there is soma understanding between Russia and Ejypt. The Khedive is reported to have just con cluded a loan for six millions and a half ster- ling. This will keep his head above water for year or two longer, but the crisis is inevita Lly coming. What would follow upon the execution of the parliamentary threat that the word of an honorable member should be "taken down," or that he should be "named," has long been a mystery. A curious extract from the news column of the Exeter Gazette of the 8th of March, . 18 10, enables us to describe what did follow upon an occasion when both tho -is direful threats were fulfilled. On the Cth of March, 1810, the Ilouse of Commons sat in committeo to hear evidence in the inquiry into the Walcheren expedition. The Earl of Chatham was Tinder examination, and one of the members of the Ilouse, Mr. Fuller, con ceived that several questions he had put had not met with that attention which their importance justified. Aocordingly, when the Earl of Chatham withdrew, Mr. Fuller rose and complained of the slight put npon him, adding with an oath, "I have as much right to be heard as any man who has paid for filling the place he holds." The Chan cellor of the Exchequer (Spencer Perceval, afterwards Premier) moved "That the words of the bon. member should be taken down." The committee assenting, the words were taken down, and when the Ilouse resumed, Sir John Anstruther, chairman of the com mittee, reported the expression. The Speaker then "informed the Ilouse" that it had "come to his knowledge" that a member had used unparliamentary language, whioh was a breach of tho privileges of the honorable Ilouse. lie felt deeply grieved, but it wonld become his duty to name him. Here the irrepressible Mr. Fuller came to the assistance of the Speaker by shouting out, "Oh! you need not be diffident! It's me, Jack Fuller." This did not tend to lessen the gravity of Mr. Fuller's position, and tho Speaker sternly ordered him to with draw. He declined, and it was only at the earnest solicitations of his friends that he eventually 'consented to leave the Ilouse. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved that Mr. Fuller be taken into custody by the Sergeant-at-Arms. The Ilouse cordially agreed with the motion, and the Sergeant-at-Arms was fully instructed to take the honora ble member into his custody. But the Ilouse, as it presently discovered, had reokoned with out the honorable member. Mr. Fuller was found in the lobby, and npon the Sergeant- at-Arms communicating to him the nature Oi his delicate mission, he rushed past him into the Ilouse and, interrupting the proceedings, declared in a loud voice that the Speaker had no right or authority to order him into cus tody. Who was the Speaker? And what was the Speaker? Why, he was the servant of the mem bers, and by their habit of submission to him they had made him their master. In order that there should be no mistake as to whom he referred, Mr. Fuller, who appear to have been a centleman of characteristi cally frank speech, added that he meant "the insignificant little fellow in the wig over there." This is the last of the observations offered by Mr. Fuller upon this interesting occasion that have ccmo down to us. A free fight between the hon. member and the Sergeant-at-Arms, who had the assistance of four messengers, followed, and eventually Mr. Fuller was carried out of the House. " 'Tis sixty years ago;" but we feel sure that no member of the prcoont Ilouse of Commons can read without a shudder that the liiizht Honorable Speaker was once publicly referred to in the Ilouse as "tho insignificant little fellow in the wig." With the exception of the colored and other lithographs, and the account of the Yama-mai or ouk silkworm, saya the Pall Mall Gazette, Mr. Adams' third report upon the silk culture of Japan is not of bo much general interest as his first report of 1870. Indeed, several of the lithographs which swell the price of the present parliamentary paper are illustrations to the excellent report of last year. There is, however, one point of much importance on which some new light is thrown the parasite "uii" (magsrot), as the Japanese call it, which preys npon the silkworm, and in some years kills from 30 to 84 per cent, of the worms, and threatens completely to ruin the industry. It appears that neither M. Guerin-Meneville, nor the Entomologist, nor tho Moniteur des iioica have been able to arrive at the natural history of this inseot. The state of mind of the Japanese peasant npon the subject is rebuked in a despairing despatch from Date, ex-prince of Uwajima and Minis ter of the Home Department. He says: Is it not painful to attribute a plague like that of the uji solely to Providence because we have not yet ascertained its causes?" The theory regarding theuji to which Mr. Adams gave currency in his first report was that du ring the spring a fly having deposited its eggs on the mulberry leaf, they were introduced with the food into the silkworm's intestines. The better opinion, however, seems to be, as stated in the second report ana continued in the third, that the fly pieroes the silkworm and deposits its egg underneath the skin, where it is hatched into the uii or larva, which, feeding upon the body of the silk worm during its changes, gradually increases until it is nearly as large as the chrysalis itself, and in the end destroys its way out of the cocoon, which thereupon becomes useless. The nil then shrinks considerably, in the course of four or five days into a small chrysalis of its own, which on disseotiou discloses the embryo of a fly, although it has not Leon sufhciently observed to ascertain the time of the fly s natural issue. The birth of the fly is, however, perhaps oorreotly supposed to occur about the time of the hatching of the first crop of silkworms in the following spring, when it deposits its eggs, and the existence of the next annual genera tion begins. This supposition is chiefly grounded on the fact that the second erop of the worms, the summer hatching, is com paratively free from the nji. The ignoraut Japanese, unfortunately, do not destroy the nji issue from the cocoons, but merely throw them away; and the efforts of the Japanese Government to circulate information on the subject have hitherto been unavailing. One notification warns the population to "re member the sajiog, 'Fear posterity,' and that it is impossible to affirm that the extreme limit of progress has been attained." It is a enrious fact that 1120,000 lbs. weight of silk worms eggs were exported from Japan 'to France and Italy in 18U'J. Mr. Adams ha to struggle against misprints, and it is rather Lard on him that his map of the silk distriots of Japan, which apoeara to be much improved from that of last year, is engraved upside down, the north being very nnarly where the touth ouht to be.
