' The War Begun in Germany. _ Hostilities have actually commenced in Germank, the action of the Federal Diet, reported below, having been regarded by Prussia as a rupture of the confederation. FRANEFORT-ON-THE4rAIN, June 14, 29. P. M.—The Austrian proposal for the mob ilization of the Federal Army has been adopted in the Federal Diet to-day by nine against six votes. Paitigraph 1 was adopted- in so far as it relates to the mobilization of the 7th, Bth, 9th and 10th army corps. Paragraphs 2, 3 and 5 were also agreed to, but no decision was arrived at upon paragraph 4, which proposed that the Diet should nominate a Federal Cominander-in-Chief. The members of the Confederation voting for the adoption of .the. proposal were Aus tria, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, Wurtem burg, Electoral Hesse, Hesse Darmstadt, Nassau, and the 16th Curiae. The members voting against the proposal were Prussia, Luxembourg, and the 12th, 14th, 15th, and 17th Curiae. The Baden representative, being without instructions, abstained from voting. The Prussian representative had pre viously declared the motion to be contrary to the Federal Constitution, and protested against any-action being taken thereon by the Diet. After the motion had been adopted he declared that Prussia considered the Federal Pact to be dissolved. He then submitted proposals for the constitution of a new Bund, announced that Prussia seceded from the present Confederation, and diately Withdrew from the Assembly. • The Austrian Minister-President addressed; the Diet in a speech, in which he referred to Article I. o f the Federal Pact, and Article V.of the Final Act of Vienna, and- insisted upon the indissolubility of the Federal Pact. He protested against the Prussian project, and maintained the• continuance of the Confed eration, with all its rights and duties, de= daring that no member was at liberty to secede from the Bund, and that the whole of Germany had a right to demand that the Confederation should remain intact. He concluded by inviting the Diet to unite with him in a solemn protest for the pre servation of the rights and competency of -Abe Band, which s.hOuld continue in fall force and binding upon all its members. • The Diet adopted a resoluting expressing its adherence to the declaration of the Aus trian representative. General Gablenz left here this kLorning fur Vienna., The Bavarian contingent in this town is under marching orders. - • Its destination jis believed to be the camp at Wurzburg. FRANKFORT, June 14, Evening.—All the Prussian officials at the .Federal Diet have resigned their functions. In the voting at the Diet on the proposal for Federal mobilization, Wiirtemberg alone voted in exactly the same manner as 'Anetria. Brunswick, which forms with Nassau the 13th Curie, .did not assent to the proposal. The 16th Curie, though not fully instructed, believed itself empowered to vote in favor of the motion. Baden proposed that the motion should be referred to a committee, but this proposal was not supported by Prussia. Of the six Curies composing the minority, Saxe-Meiningen and Frankfort were in fa vor of referring the motion to the Military Committee. SINES & SHEAFF A Conference of- the Ministers of those States which support Austria will be held on the 17th insr., to discuss a proposal for carrying out the restoration of Holstein to the administration of the Diet, if necessary, by taking the offensive against'Prussia. Jrnum 15.—The eight votes (excluding Ala tria) given yesterday in the Diet in favor of the proposal for the mobilization of the Federal •Army represent a population of 13.859,711, and contingents of 173,798 men, *bib the five votes. (excluding Prussia) aw-clust the proposal represent a population 0r2;954,580, and contingents of 33,500 men. The mobilization of the Federal army was not voted in the form proposed by Austria, but in the following amended shape, which was proposed by Hanover and supported by Electoral Hesse "That in view of the present differences between Austria and Prussia menacing -the internal security of the Confederation and causing an apprehension that hostilities - might occur between the two Confederate Powers; and 'considering that Federal Diet has been called together on the ground of Articles 18 and 19 of the Final Act of the 15th of May, 1829, in order to mainthin the peace and security of the Confederation and to take the necessary measures for prevent ing the independent action of any member 'of the Confederation; and further consider ing that, in order that the resolutions which ' :might be taken by the Diet should be car ' ried out,—a speedy disposal of all the mili tary forces of the members of the Confede ration not involved in the present difficul • ties between Prussia and Austria is a ne cessary prelinainav-condition to any suc cessful mediation.' The Hanoverian Government votes for the first paragraph of the Austrian propo sal, with the modification that the 7th, Bth, 9th and 10th Faderal Army Corps should be mobilized. Hanover votes also in favor of Article 2, 3 and 5, but not for Article 9, respecting the appointment of a Federal commander-in chief, which she does not consider to be yet called for by the present state of things. A report is current on the Bourse that the Austrian troops have entered Saxony. s Notice has been given to Messrs.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1866. over and Electoral Hesae, threatening those States with military measures unless they furnish - immediate guarantees' of their complete neutrality in the approaching conflict. ' PIIIISSIA. BERLIN, Junei--15th.--The 'official Staats- Anzeiger of to-day publishes an article which says: "By the un-Federal procedure of tne ma jority of those German Governments which have hitherto been its allies the Prussian Government has been compelled to take step that materially changes the existing state of Europe as established by treaty. Article 19 of the Vienna Act could only form the point of departure for legal proce dure, but not afford support to warlike Federal measures. The mobilization of the Federal army against a member of the Con federation is directly opposed to Article 2, Article 11, and Paragragh 4 of the Federal Pact, which articles, incorporated as Arti cles 54 and 63 in the Vienna Congress Act of the 9 h ofJune,.lBls, constitute a portion of European public law. Federal and Ea ropean law were therefore violated by the Austrian motion. As, notwithstanding the protest of Prussia upon the 14th inst., this motion was nevertheless carried, the King's representative at the Diet announced the rapture of the Confederation and quitted the Assembly." The Staats-.A.nzeiger then publishes the text of the declaration of the Prussian En voy, a summary of which has been tele graphed. The semi-official Nord-Deutache Allge ni eine Zeitung announces that it will hence forth publish news from the Elbe Duchies under the heading 'Prussia," and intelli gence from States formerly belonging to the Confederation under the tide "Middle European Group of States." The day of the departure of the King of Prussia and Count Bismarck for the camp is still uncertain. LEIPSIC, June 15, 4.25 P. M.—The Prus sian troops entered Saxony to-day.

It is positively asserted that the Duke of Saxe-Ooburg-Giitha will accept an import ant command in the Prusgian army on the outbreak of hostilities. HAROVIIR. HAlcovz.a, June 15.—1 n the Chamber of Deputies to-day Count von. Bennigsen, the President, moved - that an address be pre sented to the King, declaring that yestent day's resolution of the Federal Diet relative. to the mobilization of the forces of the Cott feneration was a step which threatened to involve Germany in civil war, imposed upon Hanover excessive burdens, and en dangered bar independence. The proposed address further requests that the Mintstera who gave their assent to the proposal for Federal mobilization be dismissed, at the same time demanding the non-execution of the Diet's decision and the neutrality of Hanover. It concludes by proposing the immediate convocation of a German Par liament. A Royal order has been issued to-day pro hibiting all further traffic in the districts of Harbnrg, Liineberg, and Hohnstorf-Liine berg, thus closing the northern Hanoverian frontier. EvENING.— The Prussian proposals for an alliance in accordance with which Han over should observe neutrality has been re= 'used by the King. Hanover has also posi iively rejected the principal points of the Prussian proposals for a more closely united Confederation, especially those arts-, cies of the Prussian project which refer td the military organization and the question. of the German fleet. The Harbors Railway has been destroyed in .everal places. SA KONY. DRESDEN, June 15.—A. Cabinet Council was held here to-day, and the, Prussian Minister was immediately afterwards re ceived by the King. ,A - The Prussian ultimatum demanding the neutrality of Saxony in the Austro-Prussian conflict, the restoration of the Saxon army to a peace footing,and adhesion to the Prue-; sian proposal for convoking a German Par liament with the view of founding a new Confederation has been rejected by the Saxon Government.

CAESEB, June 15.—The Chamber km . passed resolutions by a large , majority, re. questing the Government to return to a pol= icy of strict neutrality and not to carry out the order for the mobilization of the army.

THE MIDDLE STATES. WErm.A.u., June 14.—The Prussian Govern ment addressed on the 12th instant a cir cular despatch to the German Federal States with reference to the proposal for the mobilization of the Federal forces. The despatch says : "The motion Is contrary to the laws of the Confederation, and all States voting for its adoption will thereby commit an• act of hostility against Prussia, in defiance of the Federal law. In the war which may then ensue Prussia: will allow herself to be guided only by her own interests and those of the States friendly to her cause. The adoption of the motion will be looked upon by Prussia as a military solidarity on.the part of the consenting -States with Austria, who will make her declaration of war alone, and will consequently consider their assent as no - many independent declarations of war. Those members of , the Confedera /SR tion whose territories are situated between th Prussi provinces are particularly en joined to to e note of this communication." CASSEL, une 14th.—The Ministers Abeit, Harbord and Rothe have tendered their re signation. , The latter, at the request of the , ,Flector, has consented to temain °lnce.

The deputnre of Baron Werther was, therefore, postponed until to-day. A diplomatic arrangement having been concluded between the Austrian and Ba varian Governments for the regulation of their course of political action, the Bavarian General Taun is now here negotiating the conclusion of a convention providing by common military action on the one hand for the contingency of the Diet ordering and and Prussia resisting the mobilization of the Federal Army, and, on the other, of Bavaria being compelled by the develop"- ment of events to take part in the war on her own account. The Common Council of this capital pre sented an address of loyalty to the Emperor Francis Joseph, this morning. In reply to a speech from the Burgomaster, the Em peror said: "I receive this manifestation from the city of Vienna with great satisfaction. I have done everything in my power to pre serve the peace and liberty of Germany,but it has been made impossible in all quarters for me to do £O. This is the most arduous period I have experienced since my acces sion to the throne. I now resort to the sword with eonfidence in God, my good right, my valiant army, and the co-opera tion of my faithful a subjects. But I must, in especial, expressomy fullest satisfaction with the unanimity and attitude of Vienna. Notwithstanding that considerable sacri fices have been already imposed upon the capital by the stoppage of business and the want of employment for the poptdation,the most exemplary order prevails here in com parison with other countries, and I cannot sufficiently express my recognition of this fact. EVENING.—The Provincial Governments have received sealed packets with directions. toopen them to-morrow. It is supposed that these packets• contain an Imperial numifestoin reference to war with Prussia. The Austrian troops which have left the Federal fortresswill join the Ralik brigade, which passed to-day through Franfort, and will form a camp between Aschnffenburg and Wiirzburg.

Etatis, lune 14.—Today, in the Corps Legislatif; M. Gamier Pages made a speech commenting in severe terms upon the bom bardment of Valparaiso by , the Spanish fleet. 'M. Itonher, in reply, stated .%hat the intelligence of the bom ba rdment had made a painful impression upon the French Gov ernment. He then compared the -condnet of the Spaniards before Valparaiso with that of the French before Odessa in 1855, and added• - "Th4nestion whether the neutral Gov t ernments sh uld make a joint demand upon Spain for in ninny for the dams4e sus tained by th it respective subjects in Chile is one which • not yet completely decided; HOISTE HUNGARY. it being a very delicate question; but France immediately after the bombardment lost no time in communicating her view of the sub ject to the Spanish Government in a des patch dated the 22d of May last." The Prance of this evening alludes as fol lows to the rumor that the Emperor Maxi milian was about to Abdicate: • "We are in a position to affirm that letters which nave been received from the Emperor Maximilian b y the representatives of Mexico at foreign Courts afford no ground for believing that the news of His Majesty having *taken the resolution attributed to him has any serious foundation." PAins, June 15.—The Censtitutionnel of this morning publishes an:article repudiat ing thA warlike interpretation pint upon the letter of the Emror Napoleon, in a recent number of the . 4 berte, in an article signed by:M. Emile de Girardin. The' Constitu, bonnet says: "M. Girardin makes a strange abuse of words in interpleting every alteration in the map of Europe as a disturbance to the European equilibrium. • There are natural and' legitimate annexations which consoli date instead of disturbing the equilibrium. This 'is true as regards-the restoration of Venetia to - Italy anti Savoy to France. In the same manner, irGermany, now divided into 29 States, should wish to reduce the number, the order at present established in Europe will not thereby be in any way. shaken. What the Emperor meant was that the equilibrium of Europe would be destroyed if Austria or Prussia should ab sorb the whole of Germany." Intelligence received here from Bordeaux announces that a fire has taken place in the general warehouses at that port, which has destroyed coffee, sugar, indigo, and leather to the value of several million francs. 3.30 P. M.—The Bovine opened very buoyant, but afterwards became fiat. Rentes, after being dealt in at Elf. 40c., closed at 63f. The., or 40e. below yesterday. The Emperor on the German War. The following is the full text of the Em peror. Napoleon's letter to the. Minister of Foreign Affairs, of which a portion has already been given. It was read on the 12th inst., before the Corps Legialatif: PALACE OF THE TuiLkiarks, June 11.— M. LE Musisr - kk: At the moment when the hopes of peace, which the meeting of the Conference made us conceive seem to be vanishing, it is essential to explain in a circular to the diplomatic agents abroad, the ideas which my Government contem plated presenting in the Councils of Europe, and the conduct it means to follow in pre sence of the events which are preparing. This communication will place our policy in its true light. . Had the Conference taken place,your lan guage, as you are aware, would have been explicit. You werelo declare in my name that I repudiated all idea of territorial ag grandizement so long as the equilibrium of. Europe was not disturbed. In effect, we could not think of an extension of our fron tiers except in case of the map ef Europe being remodeled for the exclusive benefit of a great Power, and of , the conterminous provinces demanding, by votes freely ex pressed, their annexation to France. Outside these-circumstances, I think it more worthy of our country to prefer to the . acquisition of territory the precious advan tage of living on good terms with our neighbors by respecting their independence and their nationality. Animated by these sentiments, and having only in view the preservation of peace, I appealed to England and to Russia to address at the same time words of con ciliation to the parties interested. The accord established between the neutral Powers will of itself be a pledge of security for Europe. They showed their impartiality in resolving to limit the dis cussion of the Conference to the pending questions. In order to resolve them I think it was necessary to address ourselves - to them frankly, to disengage them from the diplomatic wail which covered them, and to take into serious consideration the legiti mate wishes of Sovereigns and of nations. The conflict which has arisen has three causes—the geographical situation of Prus sia imperfectly limited; the wish of Germany demanding a political reconstitution more conformable to its general wants, and the necessity of Italy to secure her national in dep end en de. _ _ The neutral Powers could not interpose in the internal affairs of foreign countries. Nevertheless, the Courts that participated in the constitutional acts of the Germanic Confederation had the right to examine whether the charges demanded were not of a kind to endanger the order established in Europe. We should have desired, in what concerns ourselves, for the secondary States of the Confederation a closer union, a stronger organization, a more important position; for Prussia, more homogeneous. ness in the North; for Austria, the mainte nance of her great position in Germany. We should have desired, moreover, that for an equitable compensation, Austria should cede Venetia to Italy, for if, in con cert with Prussia, and without regard to the 'Treaty of 1852, she made war in Denmark on behalf of German nationality, it seemed to me just that she should recognize the same principle for Italy by completing the independence of the Peninsula. Such are the ideas which for the repose of Europe, we should have tried to carry out. To-day there is reason to fear that they can be decided only by arms. In such an emer gency,wh at is the attitude it becomes France to assume? Ought we to manifest our displeasure be cause Germany finds the treaties of 1815 in sufficient to satisfy her national tendencies, and preserve her tranquillity.? In the war which is about to break out we have but two interests—the maintenance of the Eu ropean equilibrium and the maintenance of that which we have contributed to constitute in Italy. But to save these two interests does not the moraLforce of France suffice? In order that her voice shall be. listened to,will she be obliged to draw the sword? Ido noLthin" k so. If, in spite of our efforts, the hopes of peace are not realized, we are nevertheless reassured by the declarations of the Courts engaged in the conflict, that whatever be the results of the war, none of the questions which touch us shall be resolved without the assent of France. , Let us„ then, continue in a vigilant lien trality ; and, strong in our disinterested ness, animated by a sincere desire to see the nations of Europe forget their quarrels, and unite in the cause of civilization, liberty and progress, let us still remain confident in our right and calm in our force. Where upon, M. le Ministre, I pray to God to keep you in His' holy guard. NApozmos. • The War to Become . General.

Italy has a right s to assare •her lode. pendence, and for her that is not only a right but a necessity. In thug expressing himself, the Emperor only renews his de clarations and his engagements Of 1859. The deliverance of Lombardy was riot then the only object of the' war he made against Austria, and it was to all Italians without distinction that he said in his proclamation from Milan : "Profttby the forting which is offered to you. Be to-day only soldier% to-morrow you will be the free citizens of is great country:" _ A German View of the Letter.- (Fyne the Cologlie Gazette Jane /5.1 In the event of either Prussia or Austria appropriating new territory, France would then annex, by means of universal suf frage, contiguous German provinces. This is a warning which ought somewhat to di- • minish the warlike passions of the German Powers, and make the military party of Vienna and Berlin reflect before precipi tating the country into endless troubles. The letter should also make the smaller States reflect, fori; while wish ing all sorts. of od, things- to Austria. m and Prussia, the peror Napoleon inti mates that he desires a little slice of Pres aia and he could have no better pretext for this than that of the minor States being silty enough to join Austria in a war against Prussia. Prussia will naturally come down upon those States, and once occupied, she will not readily relax her grasp. The letter of the French Emperor can only serve as a warning to all German Patriots, and must weaken the fatal tendency toward war. The Fenian Failure. The failure of the Fenian invasion of Canada caused much joy in England. The London Times, of June 16th, concludes a long article on the subject as follows: Before congratulating ourselves and the Canadians on this satisfactory result, we hasten to express our sense of theadmirable spirit displayed in - these transactions by of the United States. It would be im . -sible to exaggerate the good faith, the is 'mess, the sincerity, and the re gard mutual obligations which hap prompted these energetic and decisiv._ measures. If we have sometimes though: that the American Government were tard in discerning sufficient grounds for their in., terferente, we must now acknowledge that, when the occasion occurred they have acted in a manner which even exceeds anything that cduld reasonably have been expected from the most friendly nation. _ The public will not fail to see the most conspien, one evidence of • this disposition in the per.. sons to Whom they have intrusted the du-% of suppressingthis ignoble, raid. A. force o; police might have seemed the more app prate agents for capturing a mere bunt robbers and murderers, and, at the utmos a subordinate military officer might ha been thought amply:miff:dent to deaf - wT so trivial a disturbance. But, instead this, the Federal Government have e _ - - ployed the most Iliatinguished officer their service, together with his most trust& Lieutenant. General Grant, in America holds something of the position•which th Duke of weilengton held among our,: selves, and General Meade was only sub ordinate to him throughout the final opera lions of the war. To employ these tw. • officers is not only to insure that the Feniai attempt shall be most effectually . sapi pressed, but to give the most conspicuottel evidence tf the determination of the Gs** vernment to oppose, and, if necessary, suppress, the Fenian Society. In point oh moral force, President Johnson's proclamaz'• • lion itself could hardly be more effectual.- This document, however, and the arrests by which it has been accompanied, are the most complete blow which could have been struck at the movement, and will do for us everything we could have wished to do fai t . ourselves. These energetic acts of genuine friendship on the part of the United States' Government will be long and cordially re membered; and we are almost disposed thank the Fenians for having given tl Americans an occasion for displaying * r conspicuously their friendliness and gm, feeling. • This energefie action has, to a large er tent, superseded the exertions of the Care diens; but we must not omit to con - grata late them upon the promptitude of the • measures, and to express. our sympa with the loss they have sustained in resist. ing this miserable act of brigandage.
