The European mails by the China, dated
to the 9th of Tune, are at hand. The very
ample telegraphic report from Halifax em
braced the main points of the news. The
newspaper extracts given to-day contain,
however, some very important details, par
ticularly with reference to the aspect of the
great war question in Germany and Italy,
and the strategic combinations likely to re
sult from the march of the Prussian troops
into Holstein.
Count Bismarck's official indictment of
Austria is published at length in the jour
nals, but all its facile points appeared in our
Halifax report.
The Ryves-Cumberland (Princess) claim
case was before the Probate Court in Lon
don on the 7th and Bth of June. Mrs.
Ryves's examination was concluded, and
she was closely cross-examined by the At
torney General. Her evidence is of a most
interesting character, particularly as re
gards the purport of visits made to herself
and her, mother by the Duke of Sussex
few days after the deaths of George 111. and
the Duke of Kent, and acknowledgments,
said to, have 'been made by him as to the
validity of the papers, or most of them, now
in evidence before the court.
Our Vienna correspondent, writing on the
6th of June, says:
General lcClellan came down to Prague
a few days since, from Dresden, where he
has been residing for some months, and
after visiting the lions of that fine old town
and paying his respects to General Benedek,
the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern
Austrian army, he took his departure for
Munich. He is expected here in a few days
and will probably occupy himself Consider
-ably in observing the immense military
preparations_ now in progress in the heart of
Europe.
The Dublin Evening Mail of the 9th of
June, says:
The Italian ram vessel Affondatore has
left Millwall, having been completed for
sea. She is now at Greenhithe, it is stated,
swinging for the adjustment of her com
passes, and her convoy, the Principessa Clo
tilda, has gone down from Woolwich to
Gravesend to await her arrival there, in
readiness to proceed to Naples, their pre
sent destination.
The Earl of Clarendon has been informed
by the Austrian Ambassador. in London
that it is not necessary for the bearers of
Foreign Office passports who may wish to
enter the Austrian dominions to provide
themselves with the visa of the Austrian
Embassy. It is, however, advisable that all
British subjects wishing to visit Austria
should be provided with passports.
In the House of Commons, on the 7th of
June, Mr. Whalley asked the Chief Secre
tary for Ireland what was the cause of the
militia not being called out this year in Ire
land; and whether, in particular, it was
owing to the knowledge or belief that a
large proportion of that force was or had
been in complicity with the Fenian conspi
racy; and, if so, whether the Government
were prepared o furnish the House with
further information as to the nature and ex
tent of such complicity. Mr. C. Fortescue
replied that the honorable member did not
seem to be aware that he had answered this
question several times before. He made a
statement on the subject in the course of a
debate raised by the honorable and gallant
member for King's county, and he had
nothing to add to that statement.
The cattle plague has reappeared in Ire
land. The place where the disease has
broken out is the farm of Mr. James Mc-
Kittrick, Drumrath, in the parish of Board
mills, county of Down, within about half a
mile of Drennan, where the disease first
broke out, and about a quarter of a mile
from the boundary of the cordon which was
then made.
Aggregation of the Elements Of a Vast
War—ltairs Dangers and Impatience—
Conservatism of tae German People.
[From the London Times, June 9,J
In one quarter any delays of the
German Powers are likely to excite impa
tience and indignation. Italy has given her
self up so completely to a warlike policy
that it would be impossible for the Govern
ment to stop the people, and difficult for the
people to stop themselves. We know not
what secret understanding there may be
between Prussia and Italy, whether any
thiLg like a convention, has been arranged.
and, if so, what form it has assumed. But
virtually an alliance has been concluded,
and Italy will not fail to urge upon the
Prussian Government the expediency of im
mediate war. Italy can now only see safety
in such a course. ller levies are so large,
her expenses so enormous in proportion to
her means, the enthusiasm of the people has
been so roused, such multitudes of men have
flocked into the army, that to return to a state
of political quiet and expectation would,
in the opinion of Italian politicians, be
equivalent to national ruin. With her, to
draw back would be fatal, while to stand
still and allow the country to be crushed by
a war expenditure is impossible. The
"revolution," to use the Continental phrase,
has been called to the aid of the Italian
government,and this same revolution is a
spirit which is not easily laid when it once
has been summoned. We may then expect
to fine the Prussian government exposed
to the strongest solicitations of its ally, and
Italy, perhaps, committed to a struggle by,
some rash act of those whom she has sum
moned to her banner. It is announced that
the King was immediatelyto arrive in Flor
ence, and that General Cialdini was also to
be there. Councils of war will no doubt
follow, and Italy will calculate her chances
in attacking her enemy with or without the
help of an ally. But if Austria remains on
the defensive, those who attack the Quadri
lateral will have no easy task. Something
more than zeal and patriotism is requisite
to turn a strong army out of such a position.
If any gleam appears on the dark horizon,
it is to be found in the temper and behavior
of the Prussian and other German popula
tions. The Bing of Prussia and his Minis
ter may well hesitate when they see what
misery they have caused and what a spirit
may soon be roused. The conscription
presses with tremendous severity on the
Prussian people. The country, though
richer and more industrious than formerly,
has not increased in population to a degree
which will admit of such enormous gather
ings of men. The army which is actually in
the field is said to amount to two hundred
and eighty thousand fighting men, with fifty
five thousand accessories. There 110,000
depot troops and one hundred and twenty
thousand of the first ban of the Landwehr in
garrisons. In times of enthusiasm like 1813
these calls for flesh and blood may,
be answered without unwillingness; but a
war to please a Minister, or to gain a sea
coast and a fine harbor, must not make
.too
great demands. The requirements of the
State have now been beyonds all bounds
A population of less than nineteen millions
is expected to support an army of more
ilian half a million of men on active ser-
Vice. To makeup the number, the clerk is
taken from the counting house,the trades
man from his shop, and the peasant from
the field. Women are everywhere perform
ing more than their usual share of the
hard and coarse :work of the world. An
act of hostility on the part of Austria, such
as the entrance of Marshal Benedek
into , Prussian territory, might make
thelpeople forget these hardships in hatred
of the enemy, but at present the discontent
is chiefly with their own government. Not
until the enemy has struct a blow will the
King-have a really zealous and warlike
army. As long as peace is preserved there
is the possibility that this disposition of the
Prussian people may have some influence
upon the ministerial policy. The middle
States, which have not yet given up hopes
of reconciliation, are, no doubt, encour
aged by this disinclination for war to:perse
vere in their efforts. Their own limited
power, however, and the cumbrous ma
chinery of the Confederation, are likely to
interpose great obstacles to effective action.
• With the abandonment of the Conference
the efforts of the neutral Powers have natu
rally come to an end; though, if there were
to appear any chance of resuming profit
cable negotiations, it would doubtless, not
be neglected. Every Power is interested in
checking a war which may spread over the
greater part of the continent. Even distant
Spain and POrtugal think it necessary to
take measures for insuring their neutrality.
As regards central and southeastern Ea
rope the prospect is gloomy enough. Nor
are the outlying portions of the Turkish
empire yet so secure that we can afford to
dispense with the supervision and guar
dianship that the great Powers have exer
cised. If those Powers are engaged in war
an ambitious empire like Russia may at
tempt a return to a policy that has only
been temporarily_ abandoned.- Though we
cannot think it right that the neutral States
should further interfere with the bellige
rents; they might take counsel together for
the benefit of the rest of Europe, and use
their influence Eto prevent:any ambitious
Power from turning the general confusion
to account.
serious Riot in Munich.
[From the Dublin (Evening) Mall, June 9.]
The people of Germany, though proverbi
ally slow of movement,are becoming greatly
excited as the prospect of war approaches.
M. Seingueriet, the correspondent of the
Paris. Temps, who, from his knowledge of
Germany, is well qualified to give an accu
rate representation of the popular sentiment,
writes from Heidelberg, under date of June
s:—For some days past the Bavarian capital
has been the theatre of riotous scenes. De
plorable excesses have been committed by ,
the populace. The landwehr haue used their
arms, and blood has been shed. At first the
popular passions were directed against some
beer shops. In the midst of wild cries stones
were flung against these shops, the windows
and shutters broken, an d furniture destroyed
The day before yesterday the shops of the
butchers, bakers, and the houses of some
Jews were attacked. Officers and gen
darmes were maltreated. Showers of stones
were flung at the landwehr, who fired on
the people. One man was killed and twenty
wounded. This ferment has been attributed
to the intimate relations which exist be
tween the King and Richard Wagner, but
those relations have. had nothing to do in
producing it. The riot is in no way con
nected with politics, but it is an:evidence of
the revolutionary feeling which possesses
the people beyond the Rhine. The Ultra
montane party, who are working heaven
and earth to make the young king un
popular, and to force him to abdicate, will
take advantage of these deplorable street
riots to gain their end. -
In Prussia, where 300,000 famines have
been deprived of their means of support,
discontent is increasing in proportion as
want is extending. Already national work
shops, like those of Paris in 1848, have been
organized for. the purpose of finding em
ployment for the people. Hunger is a bad
political economist, and as a new proof of
this some thousands of the Berlin working
men held a meeting outside the walls, in
which they clamorously demanded the ex
pulsion of foreign artisans. In the provinces
numerous conflicts have taken place be
tween the men of the reserve and their offi
cers. At Cologne, an officer who tried to
arrest a man belonging to the landvrehr,
who had not saluted him, was pelted by the
market women with potatoes, carrots and
cabbages, and forced to take refuge in the
guard-house. Similar scenes have occurred
in various other places. The antagonism be
tween the troops of the line, who are for
war, and the Land wehr, who are for peace,
is very marked. The threats of war have
thrown.the whole population between Lan
dau and Cologne into a feverish excitement.
The report of the sale of the coal mines of
Saarbruck, which has never been boldly
denied; the withdrawal of almost all the
troops c and the unscrupulous character of
Count Bismarck, have raised the:suspicion
among the people that they are to be trans
ferred to France. The agitation which began
in Rhenish Hesse has rapidly spread along
the whole Rhine. The anniversary of the
restoration of the province to Germany has
been celebrated in the smallest hamlets. A
National Defence Committee has been
formed at Frankenthal, and numerous
meetings have been held at Neustadt, Bin
gen, Ingelheim, 5,-.e. Energetic protests
have been made against the possibility of
dismemberment, and a general arming of
the people has been demanded.
The German Customs Duties during War.
[Berlin (June 6) correspondence of London Times.]
The mercantile community will do well
to prepare for the virtual dissolution of the
Zollverein during the war. - Under the Zoll
verein treaties the duties are levied by each
State on its frontier, the sum total being
subsequently portioned out according. to
fixed ratio; but it is improbable that if Sax)
ony, Wurtemburg and Hesse side wi
Austria, Prussia will regard the payment 1
duty to these States as sufficient to sec
the admission of merchandise into her teriis
tt
tory. In all likelihood the Prussian Cus
toin House officers will have to follow in
tin) wake of the army, anti will declare the
Zolverein frontier to be identical with the
/ shifting position of their military lines. But
as the German people have been too long
accustomed to the incalculable advantages
of the Zolverein to do without it, it is to be
expected that,: whatever territorial divi
sions be brought about by the war, the com
mercial union at least will be so renewed
as to include the greater nart of Germany,
if not, as now, nearly the whole.
The Maritime Code of Italy.
In the House of Commons, on the Bth of
June, Mr. Gregory said he wished to repeat
the question which he put to the Under Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs on a former occa
sion, viz: whether by the new mercantile
code of Italy, the right of capturing an ene
my's merchant vessels had been abandoned
by the Italian government in all cases
where the same concessions had been made
to Italy; and, if that were so, he wished to
know whether it was a fact that in the war
which appeared imminent the principle of
immunity of private property from capture
at sea had been recognized by the two great
Powers of Austria and Prussia, and also by
the kingdom of Italy.
Mr. Layard stated that, as he had in
formed the House, the other evening, the
Austrian and Prussian governments had
issued a declaration to the effect that they
were willing to respect the merchant vessels
of belligerents at sea. With regard to Italy
he was not then able to state what course
the maritime law of that country would
enable the government to:pursue; but he
had since beard that the right of capturing
an enemy's merchant vessels had been
given up.
