A few hours before adjournment the President sent in a brief message refgr ing to. tl4e difficulties in 'Europe, and suggesting that it might be well for Congress to prolong its qession a few days for legislationto meet possible con tingencies. Among the measures sug gested for consideration was the proprie ty of passing an act authorizing, vessels now owned by foreigners to take out American registers to enable them early the, flag of the TJ. states, and thus secure the . Carrying trade of the seas. The members, however, were anxious to get a way from Washington, and unwilling to remain on the uncertain contingencies of the war. The Commit tee, to whom the message was referred, reported adversely to its suggestion. If the war prove a brief one, the transfer of foreign vessels to the American flag will be unnecessary. Should it prove a protracted struggle, the demand for American carrying ships 'would stimu late private enterprize and encourage Atherican ship building. Most of the important bills were saved by Committees of Conference. That to provide a uniform day for electing mem bers of Congress, was lost. Among the important bills passed the last day Was a new Pension Law. It provides for the payment of pensions quarterly instead of semi-annually, in March, June, Sep tember and December. Within fifteen days preceding the 4th of each of these months, the Pension Agents are to make out vouchers and send them direct to pensioners for execution, without charge. Upon the return of these vouchers checks will be sent payable to the' order of the pensioner. The Act is intended to facilitate the payment of pensioners, and save them theiexliorbitant fees fre quently charged by atillerneys. ' Juirr-before the adjournment of Con gress, the President nominated to the Senate lion. F. A. EnztrivottrYsErr, of New Jersey, as Minister to England, in place of Mr. MOTLEY, to be re-called. The nomination was confirmed- by the Senate, after some opposition by Sen ators Sl;misfEn and , WiLsox. This op position was not based on hostility to Mr. FEELMOHUYSEN, whose fitness for the position is universally conceded, butt because of a desire to have Mr. MOTLEY -retained. For-some time there have been rumors of dissatisfaction, on the part of the President, with Mr. Mor- LEV'S course at the Cottrt of St. James, and his recall does not excite surprise. • Mr. CEOUNSE, the usually well inform ed Washiugton correspondent of the N. York Times, gives the following version of the difficulty: -As it has been freely stated, both pub licly and privately, that the President re moved Mr. MOTLEY in order to revenge himself upon Mr. Strunzit for the latter's opposition to the San Domingo treaty, it is proper,thohgh hardly necessary, to state some meta in connection with the ;natter, which will show how absurd such state meats are. When Mr. Morhav left here for England. he received instructions on the principal question at issue between the two Governments, which instructions were not in consonance with certain views expressed by Mr. Illotrxr prior to his de parture, and which views had been disap proved when they were first made knowu. , tin his arrival in England Mr. IdorLuy submitted to Lord CLARENDON the views which had been disapproved here, and omitted to submit the views which had been impressed upOn him by his Govern ment. , This produced a feeung of dissatis faction here, and from that moment the ; question of his recall has simpl7 been a question of time. lie has been allowed to remain from considerations of ,a personal character, among which the permanent nature of his domestic arrangements _hat. been one. Some time since he was In formed that his resignation •would be ao eepted, and he was requested to answer by caole. To this Mr. M.ori.sy made . no an swer whatever. bubsequ,ently au answer was again aimed for, when Ile decnnen finally to resign. '!'he original request for his YdAignatiOu was RD* mug enough be fore Mr. r'ILE.LINGHL'IttLEN'II appointment to have enabled Mr. MorLav to nave otter• ed it, ad he so-desired." M.

The terrible deed was done while he was laboring under, tem porary aberration of mind from excite ment occasioned by the war complica4 tions of Europe, and the worrying labok and the undue exposuie to the hot aim he had undertaken in the emergency. The fatal act was committed in his chamber, and the cireumstanies' show it was premeditated. He pun:timed a brace of pistols the preceding day, and left a letter addressied Ids valet an nouncing his intention to commit enicide and giving direction as to the return of his two children to France. lle shot himself through the heart. - SkaLLEY, the well known Lon don ccaTesp3ndent of the N.

The store cloudwhich for some time has hiing over Europe, growing, out of hostile attitudes of France and Prussia; has b t, and everything indicates a terrible bloody and protracted War be tween t ese two powerful nations. Th'is time th fairest and most populous fields of E pe are to be deluged with blood a l - -desol ton and havoc to be carried into million Of peaceful homes—because such is he will of the desperate usurper who 4 . 1 France. It is a causeless, wicket war, precipitated, not because, any.gr t issue is involved, or any na tionaltight to be maintained, but be cause Louis Napoleon, who aspires to play the role of dictator among Euro pean Ntionalities, is dissatisfied with the gr9wing power and influence of Prussia Bismarck, the great Prussian Prime .l,l inistei•—the first to snub the French despot, and bid him mind his own' ess—has made an Implacable be enemy f Napoleon, and it may that enemy he longe' to avenge fancied , wrongs.— There can be no question that' Napoleon has been preparing for war, and being ready fir it, he determined to force a quarrel with Prussia. The candidature of Prince Leopold for the ,Spanish crown was but a pretext. That b4rig settled by the prompt with drawal Of Leopold, and Prussia's disa vowal pf all complicity in it, France pressed I the quarrel by imperiously de mandin that Prussia enter into bonds for futu e good behaviour, and so im pertinently pressed these demands at the Prussian Court, that King William found iti necessary to refuse further au dience tb the French ambassador.. The latter telegraphed to Paris that he had been "insulted," and forthwith Louis Napoleon declares to the French Legis lative Crps that in view of this unpar donable suit to one of its ministers France ' bound to draw the swordl— This is t e pretext on which Europe is i i to be deluged with blood; but for the real cawe must look further—if, in deed, th ebe any cause aside from the wicked a nbition and personal impulses of the F ench emperor. When 'g urope came to be partitioned in 1815,fter the fall of the first Napo leon, nationalities were restored, and France vas shorn of a large portion of her territbrial limi ts, acq ui red I oyconquest under the Empire,including sundry fort resses and provinces on the western bank of te Rhine, which fell to Ger many.l hese Rhenish provinces for long yeaus have been a source of constant jealousy. 1 The German Confederation I was made up of a number of petty States at Principalities--each having a re presen tion, including Prussia and Austria, in the Federal Diet. Austria, by reason of per superior size and popu lation, h d preponderating influence in- the Dietnd largely controlled its Ipoli cy—the ruggle between Prussia and Austria, in all issues involving the gen eral interests of the Confederation, de pending lon which could control the larger ninnber of votes among the smaller principalities in the deliberations of the Diet. Weakened by these inter nal feuds land the cumbrous machinery of the Confederation, Germany lost her legitimate influence, and was seldom consulted! in the settlement of questions affecting 1 thi , "balance of power" in Europe. After Louis Napoleon succeeded in making himself Emperor in 1852, by be traying the French Republic and butch ering those who-dared to withstand his perfidy, be determined to re-establish Napoleonfc ideas in Europe, and from that day lo this has aspired to play the role of Dictator to nationalities. Cir cumstances for a while favored his pre tensions, and the volatile French, intox icated by the eclat attending the success of his sch4mes, willingly gave themselves into the )eeeping of the Emperor. In the Crimean Wax, backed by- England, he successfully disputed Russia's designs on Turkey. Iu 1859, he conceived the idea of restoring the Italian nationali ty, and cooly- bade Austria surrender Lombardy to Victor Emanuel. to form, with Sardinia and the Italian States, the Kingdom of Italy. Austria hesitating, Louis Napoleon threw down the gauntlet of War, burled his columns upon Aus tria, won! the battles of Magenta and Solferino, and, in ten days compelled Austria, y the treaty of Villa Franca, to do whaithe had required; Lombardy ; with all ilsfortresses, becoming part of Italy. Uder the patriotic impulses of a revivedationality, the Italians sub sequentlylsonght to restore the Roman Republic,iwith the "eternal city" as its capital; bit the French Dictator said no, and &pis legions to Rome to pro tect the S of the Pope, while be re quired V'tor Emanuel to turn his bat- - on rilialdi—thus strangling the a i m Roman, he had crushed the French, Republic. j French bayonets, from that day to this, have kept the Pope on his thronel l , France not daring to with draw thein. Not content with dictating terms to ,Europe, ouis Napoleon next turned his attentn to America. Taking ad vantage o the Rebellion, which tied the hands of dur own Government,, in 1891 he determined 6 found an empire across the Atlantic, by crushing the Mexican Republic, tnd thereby "restore, on the American ,continent, the supremacy of the lititil race." Cloaking his real dedgns mid& pretence of securing in demnity for English, French and Span ish claims, he induced England and Spain to 'unite in a War against Mexico. The latter Governments, however, on being app r i sedof the real purposes of the • war, • hdrew from the contest, leaving the French to prosecute it alone.' But that game didn't win. Maxamillian fell into th trap, and gave Millie as the penalty of his folly. The Mexicans struggled on, until at the close of our own War, the United States gave Louis x ; ri Napoleon polite but very emphatic no tice to "q t." Humiliated by the sig nal failuie of hisseme—his ha_nds red with the b ood of thousands of French and Me victims of his ainbition— but not g to cross the path of the United S tes, now free to assert its traditional' policy—he sullenly recalled ,es his armies, begging only to be peimitted to do so in tail, to avoid the appear ance of co pulsion. MP This ' n "fiaeco" became a sore point with ' Louis Napoleon. Events uan 4 followed in 'Europe farther to disturb his eq ' ty. With the appearance of Bismarck o the stage of European poli tics, a mar ' change took place in the relative posi ion of nationalitieb. This consummat statesman, comprehend- 1 ing thew ess of the 'Germanic Con federation, etermined to break' it, .and push P to the front rank of na tions. his purixiiiiot always, it is true, by the: most defensible means. His first step was to bidAiethuice to the Diet in 1864 4 by engaging in the Bchlarsviek- Holstein War and wrenching these im- portant provinces from Denmark, secur ingifOr Prussia a larger line of seacoast, with iffiportarit fortresses. • Frimce and- Anettio gniwled, but to' no Purpose.— Ire* fu' / 11 6 8 , Utter PrePuilitlun .

Louis Napoleon was no longer the Dic tator of Europe! And here, in our 'judgment traioe the key to thiS last great crime °Mauls Napoleon—mortified personal pride, humiliated ambition, malignant hatred of Bismarck, jealousy of Prussia's grow ing power, a desire to recover the eclat so sadly damaged by his`Roman and Mex ican blunders, and avenge past griev ances by despoiling Prussia of 'her Rhenish provinces. :To this may added a possible purpose to popularize himself in France—war being always popular with the 'volatile French—and thus strengthen the Napoleonic dynasty, which of late years has encountered a degree of opposition that augurs badly for the future. We confess that in the terrible conflict impending in Europe, all our sympathies 4're with Prussia. We can have none 'frith Louis Napoleon, who has been a disturber Of the peace of nations ever since, by perfidy and violence, he be came ruler of France. Beside the for bearance of Prussia in the Spanish in broglio, under cover of which France sought to press the quarrel, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that, during the trying days of. our own Rebellion, Prussia of all the nations of Europe, Russia possitty excepted, gave us the most practical tokens of sympathy. For this we feel grateful, and wish for her and her armies the same glorious tn. umphs over her enemy. As to the probabilities of the War its extent and duration—it is difficult to make an intelligent conjecture. The vast improvements in the enginery of War, and the great revolution in miii- tary tactics, have given a new phaze to European conflicts. The Austro-Italian, Schleswick-Holstein, and Prusso-Aus tria wars were all sharp, short and de cisive. But in all these, the contests were unequal. In the war now impend ing the struggle will he between the two most powerful nations of Europe, about equally matched in military resources, and both distinguished for fighting qualities. It bids fair to be a bloody' and protracted conflict. France will tight for glory and conquest—P?us sia in defence of the integrity df her territory. The French are characterized by dash and impetuosity—the Germans by per sistence and endurance. France being thoroughly prepared will attack impetu onsly, and we look for disasters te Prus sia as the result of the first conflicts.— Franke must win victories in the out- start--otherwise all is lost. It is a dan gerous venture on the part of Louis Napoleon. If he fails he loses his crown. If Prussia be beaten hi the Rhenish provinces, her armies will fall back on the Rhine, and make it the bat- tle-ground. Great efforts are being made to pre serve the neutrality of other nations. The sympathies of Belgium, England and Russia will be with Prussia: Aus tria would side with France, but will be kept in check by Russia. Victor Eman uel will be under obligatian to Nirleon, but his people, angered by the coptihned presence of French bayonets at Rome, will give their sympathies to Prussia.— Spain will have enough to do to take care of herself. Should the War con tinue any iengm or time, it nardly possible for other nations to avoid being drawn in by the complications which will necessarily arise. It noxy read to a • general European War. France has the advantage in experi enced officers to command her armies.— Gens. Canrobert and McMahon have both distinguished themselves in active service—the former at the battle of Inkerman in the Crimean War, and afterwards at Solferino; the latter also in Crimea at the taking of thella,lakof, , - and at the battle of Magenta. Gen- Bazaine commanded the French. , t4locia in Mexico, and exhibited great strailegie ability. Besides these, there are, other officers of lesser note, Gens. Palikacr, Guyon, Letaieuf, D'llillers, Random, ltc. With the exception of the brief rani -paigns of 1864 and 1866, the Prussian officers have had but little experince.in the field. Gen. Moltke, who planned the brilliant campaign against. Austria in 1866,, will doubtless -direct military nperations. The Prince Royal, Ender" ick ria's eldest daughter,) and his coursin, Prince Frederick Charles, will have portant 'commands. Besides thpe, there are Gens. Marteuffel, Steinmetz{, Marstein, and other -Soldiers of not who will doubtless be heard from. • ; We giVe in another column full despatches from Europe, detailing the Progress of the difficulty, and will ,pi deavor to keep our readers fully posted. THE first struggle between France and Prussia will be along the Rhenish front ier, where both nations have formidable fortresses. The Prussians have for midable fortresses on the Rhine at Col-, ogne, Coblentz and Ehrenbreitshen 7 the, latter an immense, impregnable series of works, capable of supporting 120,000 troops, and the centre of enormous mili tary stores and provisions. The French have strong works at Strasbourg, lower ,down,the Rhine, but their principal for-, tress on the frontier is that of Metz, ,in the Department of Momlle, at the con fluence of the Scale and Moselle rivers, the latter emptying into the Rhine near Coblentz. Near by, in t„be same Depart ment, are the important French towns of Thiomille and Forbach, the latter the last railroad station on French soil. The comparatively small territory en circling these towns and fortresses will receive the first shock of war. THE Bill to grant Mrs. Lincoln a pension of $3,000 passed the Senate just before the final adjournment. It is said that in view of the oppositiop it, en countered and the tone of the debate in the Senate, her friends will advise her to decline the gratuity. THE new Tax and Tariff Bill adopted by Congress will reduce the revenues of next year about $ 85 , 000 ,006; relieving the people Of taxes to that extent, So much for gepublican economy—a steady reduction of the national debt, arid steady reduction in taxation.

The diplomatic efforts of the British Government to. preserve peace between France and Prussia have signally failed.— War is regarded as inevitable. Prussia, while disclaiming all ()ounce tion with the movement to place Prince Leopold on the Spanish throne, perempl tinily refused to accede to the imperious demands of France that Prussia pledge herself to prohibit any German Prince from accepting the crown, if tendered by Spain hereafter. King William snubbed the French Minister, who sought to renew these demands, refusing. him an audience. Whereupon touis Napoleon declares for War. Prussia accepts the issue thus forced on her, and both sides are actively preparing for the impending conflict. PARIS, July 16.—The French army for war with Prussia is concentrating at Metz, on the Moselle. Marshals McMahon, Canrobert, and Bazaine are in command of the main di visions of the Imperial French forces. Admiral. Genouilly, with the French Baltic fleet, will bombard the German p-orttr. The army and navy of France will at tack the German forces simultaneously. A despatch from Seltz (Has Rhine), about twenty-seven miles from Strasburg, received this afternoon, says the Prussians have entered France by way of For!rat+. in the Department of the Moselle, on the Nancy and Manheim Railroad, but as the Prussian force is only said to be ‘ a detach ed corps very little importance is attached to the movement. The French force near the frontier is now estimated at 130,000 men. It is believed the Prussians will at tack the fortified city of Metz, the capital of the Department of the Moselle, and an important railroad centre, moving on it from two directions, one body by way of Thionville, and the other by way of KieL It is said that the French forces are throw ing a bridge over the Rhine near Kiel. THE FEELIKG IN FRANCE. 1 PARIS, July 16.—The proceedings in the Chambers yesterday on the question of war were interesting and important. In the Corps Legislatif M. Thiers, in a long speech, pronounced against the declaration of the government: He said that France had received satisfaction from Prussia, and that war should not be made on her for a mere formality. 011ivier responded to Tillers, and said it was iinpossible for the government to do otherwise than it had done. Thiers again took the floor, and recalled Mexico and Sadowa, and said the government had made a new blunder. The majority interrupted the speaker, but he continued amidst the greatest agita tion,.and when silence was restored Gam betta demanded that all the correspond ence had with Prussia be laid before the Corps Legislatif. Jules Favre4seconded the motion in a long speech, assertingthat 'France could not make war on the au thority of telegraphic thtscpatcha. - . The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that it was necessary to make war, and to do so immediately, in order to give Prus di no time to arm. If any other course was proposed he could no 'longer remain in the Ministry. The question KM then put to a vote, and the dentand for corre spondence was_rejected.hy 164 against 84. Vhs'.Corps then adjourned until 8 P. M. 1 ' In the Senate yesterday, after the Duke Ae.Graineat bad finished his. deciaratiim, M. Rouher'asked if any Senator desired to speak. Loud cries of "No!" "No!" fol lowed, and M. Rouher then said: "As Pre sident of the Senate, I will state that the Senate, responding for the nation, ap pro;:es the conduct of the government.— We must place our hopes in Providence and rely upon our courage for the triumph of our rights." The Emperor is expected to head the army in person, and by a series of rapid mOvements arrive at the Rhine before Prussia has completed her defence. Pairs, July 17.—A. 3L—There is a • rumor that an engagement has taken place near Forbach, resulting in a loss to ' the ~..Prussians of 3,000 killed, and of FrouCh 2,000 killed. As yet the report can be traced to no reliable source. ', Thelmperor will issue a manifesto to the' States of - South Germany, assuring them of the good will of France. The war feeling has taken entire control of th 6 people here. Yesterday the Duke de Gra mont, after leaving the Senate Chamber, masgreeted by . crowds upon the streets with cheers and plaudits, amounting to an ovation. A 'deirionstration was made in front of the residence of M. Thiers, to ex press dissatisfaction at his course in the Corps Legislatif. This was followed by a demonstration in his favor, :Thd' governments of Holland and Italy will maintain absolute neutrality between F'ranee'and Prussia. Demonstrations of the most enthmdais- tic character continue to be ni t ade in fa vor of war against Prussia. Everywhere She boulewards and streets are crowded with people wild with excitement. The Journal Officiel denies the statement that the Prussian troops have entered France. • Telegrams'on the subject are contradic tory, the latest reports being that no fore of Prtundans is known to have crossed the Mine. A decree is published to-day calling . on 'the members of the Garda Na tionale and Garde Mobile, of the first three corpoi of the army, to report immediately at the chief tcrisof their departments, in readiness for active service. The British roreign Office has not yet received official notice of the declaration of war between Pranoe and Prussia, Italy and Denmark assure the powers of their intention to preserve a neutral at titude.

Your Majesty, who so recently received a proof of the us tional good will, may then once more de vote yourself to the reforms, the realiza tion of which is only retarded. Time on ly is needed to conquer. The Emperor warmly thanked the Pre sident and members of the Senate. TILE FEELING IN ONSIIIA.NY BERLIN, July 16.—The Bing arrived here late last evening from Ems. His journey was a complete ovation from the start. Pausing at Coblentz he was sur rounded by an in.mense throng of his cotintrymen, who greeted him with cheers. At length the Xing came forward and said: "I am pleased with thiS surprise. Si:e to it that you behave as bravely else where.- On arriving in this city the King found fully one htuidred thousand people assem bled at the station, waiting to escort him to the palace: His route 14 through the splendid street tinter den Linden, which, was covered with flags and grandly illu minated for the occasion. All along the march the crowds shouted, cheered, and sang the national hymns. The King af terwards repeatedly came forward and saluted the crowd from the pilace win dows. • BERLIN. July 18.—The government is in hourly receipt of despatches from all parts . of Germany, offering men, money, arms, horses, etc., in support of the na tional cause, and asserting that no sacil flee that can be made will be deemed too great for the cause of Germany. The government recommends Bremen as a port of refuge fur German shipping. Volunteering in Prussia is extraordinary. The entire male popnlation are demanding arms. The immediate mobilization of the entire Prussian army has been ordered. The meeting of the Reichstag is now fixed for Tuesday next, gyring to the urgency of the occasion. The Prince Royal, Frederick • William, will take command of the armies of the States of South Germany. The response of the South German `States to North Germany on the war question is enthusiastic in! the support of Faderland and Prussia: .

MEI FLORENCIC, 17.—A great popular de monstration was made here to-day against France. Crowds collected in front of the Foreign Office and shouted, "Down with Fiance: Viva Italian neutrality! Viva Prussia!" COMM LONDON, July 17.—A telegram from Perth states that the Chiefs of the different parties 'in Hungary had met there and adopted a resolution sympathizibg with France, and declaring that every victory for France will be a victory for Hungary. LMcnoN, July 17.—The French declara tion of war is based on the fbllowing causes: First—The insult offered at Elms to Connt Benedetti, the French Minister, and its approval by the Prussian Govern ment. • Second—The refusal of ' the King of Prussia to compel the withdrawl.of Prince Leopold's name as a candidate for the. Spanish throne. Tnird —The fact that the King persist ed in giving the Prince liberty to accept the crown. The declaration concludes: "The extra constitutional changes in Prussia awaken the slumbering recollections of 1814. Let us crass the Rhine and avenge the insults to Prussia.

LONDON, July 17—The Spectator, in its issue to-day, predicts, as the result of the war, that "the Bonapartes will be 'found to have exhausted Ileaven's patience."
