FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE ES OF EASTERN TRAVEL. fCommttnicntod lor the Philadelphia 'Evening Bulletin.", Mumen, IVedncsday Evening June 8. 'We left -- Innsprnek nt--zeleven-io'clock- -this morning, and arrived at this great city—the capital of Bavaria---abont six this evening. The first part of our journey was still among the beautiful scenery of the Tyrol, with which we were so perfectly enchanted all day yester day. After leaving Kufstein—a strongly ford lied,pieturesque looking town on the Tyrolese border4e took our leave very suddenly of • that charming region, and came out on the fiat,,level plains of Bavaria. It was like corn-. ,big down atn step from theLexhilaration or a ~fairy land, or the excitement of poetry, to the pliiiu prose of every-day - life: — To - make - the :''Cliarige more striking, a cold, pelting rain set in,which has continued ever since. I was - cheered on my arrival, however, by letters from home. Ml' ICfl, Tloirsd ay . 1.: g June 9th, 1879. :We have spent to-day in visiting some of the • chief points of interest in this city. In the several large galleries here we traveled through vast acres of paintings, both ancient and modern, without meeting more than two. or three that were specially interesting or at. tractive to us. After this we visited the "Hall of Fame," a modern public building, in which are preserved the - busts and statues of the sons of Bavaria who have most distinguished them `selves either inwarlikenchievements or in the gentler arts of peace. In front of this build-' Ling is a 'statue - which attracts 'the 'interest . of ; strangers, and is certainly one of the mos - striking objects in the place. It is called " The Statue of Bavaria," and consists of alcollossa t female figure , in bronze. it is intended to represent ,the genius of the country. The figure itself is sixty feet in height, and stands on a pedestal thirty feet high. A large bronze lion stands at the side the figure. In her ,right hand she holds a sword, for defence, and in the other, which is raised aloft, she holds a wreath erownAlreworthy,,, There is a spiral staircase in the interior, lead _ ing up to the head of the statue, in which there are seats for eight persons. Several small openings iu the head afford fine bird's eye views of the city. The effect of the whole, as seen from the ground, Is very fine. it is a • modern work, designed by Swanthaler, a Ba varian artist of great distinction, and still liv ing. We next visited the National Bronze Foundry of this city, which has a world-wide reputation for the excellence of its castings. -It is here that the Lincoln monument, for our city, of which 1 spoke at Rome, is in process of preparation. also other works for our country are also under way. Indeed the whole force of the establishment seems to be . employed in theexecution of different orders from America. Several soldiers' nionuments are in-preparation. . We sawn very large and beautiful bronze fountain for the Central Park, N. Y. It is nearly finished, and will add " greatly to the attractions of that already beau tiful place of resort. There is also a very ela borate one preparing for a - gentleman in Cin cinnati. Munich is a clean, bright, cheerful - - looking city. But its chief objects of interest are of recent: growth or formation. It owes •. nearlyeverything it has of a public character to the fostering care and liberal spirit of King Louis 1,, the-grandfather-of the present arch. It was said of one of the - Roman Ern . peters that." he found Rome brieksliand left it marble." Of Ring Louis I. it might well be said that he found Munich nothing, and left it what - it - is7 - 711.rotre -of -the-publi e-soriares-is -a bronze column erected -to the memory or 20,000 Xav4rians, who were in the French army of Napoloot I.,that - i nvatled Russia, and lost their lives in that disastrous expedition. An inscription on the base of the monument states that they " died lighting _ii)?• /coal." Sacrificed to the mad ambition of a re_cklest- conqueror, it seems strange that their country men will allow so uublustung a state- went to stand in the open face of day passed it to-day 1 thought 1 would find out the feelings of our Commissioner—au honest, sensible Bavarian—in reference to it. So I paused in front of the monument, and, point ing to the inscription, as though I didn't un derstand it, said to him, "What's the meaning of this?" But he only shook his head and hur_ ried on, saying, " Ah, dat ish not goot; dat ish not goot." Ho .evidently resented the bare faced attempt to impose upon the common *sense and intelligence of this enlightened age. If the monument were simply left to bear its silent testimony to the memory of the poor fellows who were dragged from their homes to die in the carrying out of schemes of ambi tion which 'they abbored, it would command be respect of all who look upon it ; but to have it stand there proclaiming all the time whatieverybody knows to be an unqualified falsehood, is enough to excite the indignation of every honest, truth-loving man. Friday Evening, Jane 10.—Here we are, a little off the beaten track. We fin ished up Munich this morning by a visit to what is called the Giyptothek, or national gal lery of ancient art. It contains some fine speci mens of statuary and sculpture that have come down from early days. After having been buried up for centuries, they were discovered .by some enterprising Englishmen, while Making explorations among the ruins on the Island of ,Egina, and were bought by King Louis 1., who did so much for Munich, and given to the city in 1812. Their history is not known, but from their evident antipity, at well as from the skill with which they are executed, they are supposed to be of the age of Praxiteles, if not the work of his own hand. We left Munich this afternoon, and have just.arrive,d, late in the evening, iu this inter esting old town, which has had so much to do with the history and legislation of Europe in centuries past. RATISEON, Saturday .Afternoon, June 11.—I love to visit these quaint old towns. There is a charm in wandering through their crooked streets and gazing on their queer-shaped houses, that speak so plainly of the centuries that have passed over them. Ratisbon is one of the most interesting of this clasS of towns Por'hundreds of years the Imperial Diet of Germany met here.' Then it was often thronged by the. great and distinguished men of their day. There : is one street known as the "Ambassadors' street." The different nations there represented each has its coat of arms in. marble, sculptured over the door of the house in which its representative was Lodged: The hotel in which we are staying was formerly a palace. The Emperor Charles Y. - lodged in 'it, while attending one of the - • Diets, and Don John, Duke of Austria, who gained the victory of Lepanto, was born snit. There is a fine cathedral and several in teresting churches here. We visited the Diet --Souse;-in which-the legislation_of_the-empiie was so long carried on. It is a plain old building, noW kept as a memento of the 'oast, and some portions of it are occupied by /dim. Under this building are the prisons and dungeons.formerly used,. and the " hall of torture" remains as it was; and you see-pre served here, from the darknnes, - the - fiendish instrnineiats made 1180 of when < justice and: . were L'so- outraged by the horrible enornatikes perpetrated in their names. To look upon the actual contrivances which genuity devised to refine cruelty • and in tensify suffering till every.joint was dislecated and every — nerve -- and —muscle—racked-- with anguish, makes the flesh Creep and the blood run cold. . One of the points of greatest interest to visitors about this place is the Temple of Val halla. It is situated on the banks •of the Danube, about 5 or 6 miles from the town. We took a carriage and rode out there. It is a Grecian temple of the Doric order, .built of white marble, surrounded on all sides by columns, after the model adopted in our Girard College. It was built.by Icing Louis 1.,- who done so much for the improvement of his country in works of art - in geifewal. - It - was erected at a cost Of near a million and a half of dollars, and is designed as a sort of Ternpl• of Fame for Germany. finely located on the summit of a hill, overlooking the exten sive plains of Bavaria. The interior is 'zor geously finished. The walls and floor are covered with beautifully polished marble. The floor shines like a mirror, and visitors, on entering, are required to put on slippers of thick felt over their shoes, to avoid scratch ing the marble in walking over it. Round the sides of the temple are placed busts, in elegant white marble, of the most distinguished warriors, poets, legislators, artists and scholars of Germany. Those of less distinction,. not considered entitled to busts, still have their navies, in gilt• letters, inscribed on the WallS of this' splendid temple. For a long time, Luther, " though the noblest German of them all," was not allowed a place among these worthies. But at last permission was granted him to enter, _and now _his sturdy, honest form is permitted - to - • - take its - place--among his peers.- There can be no mistaking - the man either, for the inscription ou the pedestal—" Doctor Martin Luther "—shows that iii 7none other than the great Reformer ,:hiroSelf theale,repr_eserded,,;. aye: Ratisbon this evening and take a night train for Prague, so as to'spend Simday in the capi tal of Bohemia. lint sDEN, Monica Evening, Juno 13.—We made but a short stay at Prague, but still it was an interesting one. There was no English service in the place, so that we were dependent rather on seeing than on hem•- iir!i for the spiritual improvement, of the Sab bath, so far, at least, as public exercises were concerned. We visited several of the large Catholic churches, and gazed with special interest in one of them on the pulpit in which the martyr reforiner, John Hass, formerly preached. The house in which he lived—or rather the spot where it stood, for another house has been built there—is cherished with religious care. A large brass plate is fastened to tbe-wall the - - , doori whiehlbeate the-' quaint inscription: "Here lived Mister John . -Huss.' On our way home from church we passed . Hie palace which formerly belonged to that splendidly endowed, but heartless man, WallenStein. It, is still - 1 ell - thi: - seendants. We 'stepped in to take a look at it. A magnificent pile it is. In _one of the rooms, stuffed and preserved, is the horse which the Duke rode, and which was killed under him at the battle of Lutzen, iii which that - princely-man,-Gustavus-Adolphus, was lost to his country and the world. Prague is. 'finely . sittiated . .on the riyer . Moldau. The view of the city from the bridge across the river is very imposing. There is air old - stonc - bridge-that iras-a-- lot-of--statuary-- upon it, some of whiVniTS very odd. Anniiig the best of them is a bronze statue to a certain - St. John Neproulunte. The story of him is that he was father confessor to the wife of on e of the kings of Bohemia several hundred years ago. The King was jealous o f his w if e . and wished to find out some secrets she had confessed to the priest. He demanded to know what they were. The priest refused to reveal the secrets of the confessional, and the Ring had him thrown from the bridge into the river. Then they say his body was re vealed by some great miracle. This led to his canonization, and now be flourishes through Catholic Europe as the favotite pa tron saint of bridges. Another piece of statuary on this bridge represents three mar ble figures in chains, writhing amidst the flames of purgatory, with the inscription over it, " Ora pronobis"—pray for us—to stimulate the beholders to prayer. Before leaving Prague we visited the famous black tower, connected with one of its oldest palaces. It was there that the prisoners of 'distinction in former times were confined and made away with. At the bottom of the tower is a dun geon. The only entrance to it is by a circular opening in the top. By this the prisoner was let down with a cord. None who entered there ever came out or saw the daylight. They were left to die of starvation. In the bottom of this dungeon is a hole leading to a still lower den beneath. A piece of burning paper dropped from the upper opening by the guide reveals the gloomy scene to view. When a prisoner was introduced into the upper dungeon he would find the bones of his predecessor there, and throwing them in to the lowest receptacle, would have nothing to do but wait until the .next unhappy victim should come and nerforni the same oflice for him. How horrible to think of the. days when such dark deeds were done!" H. N. Au Umbrella Romance Here is a picture, and a pretty one. A young man and a girl, both enveloped in cloakS, and huddled beneath the scanty protection Of a cotton umbrella. She wears rubber over shoes; but he is in his dancingmnps, and they are on their way, no doubt, to some cotillion party, or subscription ball at a dollar a head, refreshments included. Thus they struggle against the gloomy tempest, lured onward by a 'vision of festal splendor. But, ah ! a most lamentable disaster. Bewildered by the red, blue and yellow meteors,. in an apothecary's windoW; they have stepped upon a slippery remnant of ice, and are precipitated into a con fluence of swollen floods, at the corner of two streets. Luckless lovers ! Were it my nature to be other than a looker-on in life, I would attempt your rescue. 'Since that may not be, I vow, should you be drowned, to weave such a pathetic story of your fate as shall call forth tears enough to drown you both anew. Do ye touch bottom; my young friends? Yes; they emerge like a water nymph and a river deity, and paddle hand in hand out of the depths of the dark pool.

PECNNSTLYANIA - SOLDIF:IRS' ORPHANS' . SCHOOLS. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evetking, Bulletin.] BRIDGEWATER, July 21, 1840.. The Bridge water Soldiers' Orphan SOhOol Ih known as the onlyAlistinctise _colored _sebeoLin the :State:__±l t is located near Bridgewater., on the 'Philadel phia " - and Trenton Railroatkabont seventeen miles north of the Kensington • depot. It was established on the 18th of June, 186 S. . . Pre vious to that date no particular provision had been made for the children of our brave colored soldiers who fell on.the field of battle, and a Committee of the Freedmen's All ,So ciety of Philadelphia, of which General Louis Wagner was President, paid a visit to Colonel Alc,Farland, to represent the injustice thus done the colored race. Of course there was nothing, in the act of Assaibly to prevent the: estab lishment of colored schools, as all our soldiers' orphans were to be educated and maintained at the expense of the State. ,' • Col. McFarland, agreeably to the . prayer of the Committee, commissioned B. P. Hunt, Esq., of Philadelphia, .a retired "niereliarit and' a venerable philanthropist, to gather together the colored soldiers' orphans in the State. This task Mr. hunt assumed most cheer fully, and labored most assidUouSly, to the positive injury of his health, and -.without a penny of compensation, expending from his own fuuds freely. He traveled all over the State, visiting the families of our colored people wherever he went. At . first mothers were unwilling that their children should be taken from them, not then fully. comprehend ing the benefits to be derived front the noble 'system inaugurated hy;Peunsylvania:: -In some instances the parent offered personal violence to Mr. Hunt, in his kindly mission. But soon quite a number of pupils were gathered iu the institution here, to whom the State Superin tendent extended all the advantages possessed by other schools. The children were all clothed its are the white inmates of Soldiers' Orphans' schools, the boys in blue, the girls in pink, and no dis tinction was made between the races. The pupils soon showed their capacity for receiving instruction., manifesting, : however, an „earnest . ; ness in their new and novel Which promised, and in fact premised, their triumph ant success iu the paths of education. The result was indeed encouraging,. and. the de partment felt that it had done itself a credit in establishing the institution. The building is a large and beautiful one. It had been what was known as the old Bris tol College edifice, and was seen at once to be admirably fitted for the purpose. . The cen tral structure, which is of brick, is 60 by 80 feet, and is-four stories-high;-with—two=-Wings, 70 by 25 feet each, each three stories. The whole building is painted white, and, has au airy, commodious appearance, capable of hold ing many more children than are now in it. The vicinity : is well supplied with shade trees. There is also a farm-of fourteen- acres, reaching—down to the shore _of the Delaware,,arid, the land is, ref prodnetive. Here, as in other country scliools table vegetables of all kinds are raised, and the boys serve as farmers. . - At the examination to-dayt here - were 165 children, or 513 girls and 109 boys. Last year there were only 172 , “1116 beinetlie oniy school in which . there has been an . : increase during the past year; owing to the fact'that - the-insti tution is comparatively new, and •no special efiorts had before been made to gather our colored orphans. It embraces as its territory, too,Ahe_whole _Commonwealth, from the Dela ware to Ohio, and from Lake Erie to Delaware, so that--there are pupils here from nearly every section of the State. Their convocation in the school-room to-day was an interesting sight. There were boys . Mil s ofall sines and shades of color, from four years old to sixteen, aulrfiViii — tW6J - e7t black to the 'yellow and octoroon. But there is no doubt that there is Some splendid Mate rial for intellectual improvement—some good scholars, in fact. No school within the opera tions ofthe soldiers' orphan system gives more promise for the future than Bridgewater. One of the pupils—a boy—will leave to go to the Lincoln University. His rapid advancement here•hat'ibeen a matter of remark, and there is little doubt but that he will graduate from the University with high honors. do much for a gloriously beneficent system, first inaugurated by Pennsylvania, which knows no sex, rank, race, or condition save that of orphaage and the helplessness of sons and daughters left fatherless by a cruel war in which those who gave them life laid down their all for the Commonwealth. The institution is now governed by the fol lowing teachers and employes, all of whom are white : Principal—James Stitzer. Principal Teacher—Prof. James M. Strad ling. Second. Teacher—Mrs. Stradling. Thir4 Teacher—Mr. Chas. W. McMahon. Matron—Miss Lizzie J. Corbett. Nate Assistant—Thomas Entrikeu. Sewing Superintendent—Miss Bushy. • itt big Superintendent—Mrs. McClain. There are-nine of the larger girls who can now sew and knit well, and all the clothing is made up in the establishment. Col. McFarland, Prof. Gause, of Harrisburg; B. P. Hunt, Esq., Agent of the Freedmen's' Aid Society;"and wife, of Philadelphia; Rev. Mr. Rink, of Bristol; Mr. Laing, of Philadel phia ; Mr. William Still (colored), of Phila-. delphia, Inspector Cornforth and others were present at the examination, and the various. grades averaged as follows : Fourth (or :highest) Grade Spelling,.. i 0;? reading, 82; 86; written arithrnetic,: 85; mental arithmetic6B ; drawing, 110.. Third Grade—Spelling, 66; Beading, 81 ; writing, 85 ; geography, 86 ; written arithmetic, 72 • mental arithmetic, 80. :Second Grade—Reading, ; Geography, 'l4; Written Arithmetic, 86; Mental Arithme tic, 88. Those figure's do not look mean, and they deserve attention from the enemies of the ne gro who are continually harping on. his " incapacity." To-morrow and day after, 140 boys and girls will leave for home. 25, who have no homes, will remain. At the close of the exercises to-day, Colonel McFarland made a little speech to the pupils, encouraging and praising them in their work, followed by a colored gentleman, Mr. Still, of Philadelphia, who urged the chidren to in creased diligence, pointing out for them a fu ture of which they might be proud.

Local and General Items. [Correspondence of the Phila. klsening Bulletin.) WILMINGTON, July 22.—Regarded from the stand-point of a local reporter, this week opened brilliantly with the series of accidents already reported to you by 'telegraph, but the latter , part has been singularly uneventful and has really, stripped the :earlier events of much of their tragic interest. The little girl who dis tinguished herself by • her high and lofty tumbling from a third -story window to a brick pavement still lives to tell the tale, and doubt less will tell it, unless something more serious happens to her. The gentleman who got thrown from his carriage and butted his head against a curbstone persists in getting better, notwithstanding the predictions of his friends, and will doubtless live to grade more railroads; while the man who was sunstruck while work jug at the City Hall drinking fountain is as lively again as though Old Sol had never hit It is astonishing host', - ranch killing a • healthy lierson will Stan '.4n accident on the Wilmington and Reading' Railroad smashed up two locomotives 'and' slightly injured another. The latter is still in use, but the other two will need extensive re pairs. No one was hurt, and the ilagman,who was blamed for the accident, was promptly dis charged. A large force of workmen is now engaged in grading for the extension of,lhe,_Wiluaington and Reading Railroadto its wharf' property on the Christiana. This property is situated above Harlan, Hollingsworth &' Co.'s shipyards, and is deemed, by everybody too far up stream to become. much of a place for coal shipments. Everybody feels that the road must' go to the Delaware river or more mouth of the ChriStiana, and none r so than the officers of the road ; so, Of course, as soon as may be, it will bridge the Christiana and go there, and then—well, I'll let you know when it takes place. Better' progress is making in securing sub scriptions for the Wilmington and Western Railroad, and a good deal of quiet work is go ing on, though the indefatigable President of the Company, J. T. Heald, is cooling off at Cape May. • - , ; • The poles for the telegraph company along' the Wilmington and 'Reading Railroad are in place, and the wires arefieing put up as rap ' idly as POssible.

Young, well-look ing, and respectably connected, with more than average ability in certain lines of business, and ev'ery incentive toward a respectable life, he • seems to have air irresistible tendency toward the devil. Some months ago he forged a check vs ith the name of the President of one of our largest manufacturing companies, and was ar rested and committed to jail. He wrote an ap -pealittg-altd_penitentletter_to the_gentletuaV,of_ Whose name he had made felonious use, and finally, by letters and personal inter views, so worked upon his sympathieS that he took Clifton out of jail anrt,.gave him em ployment in his own works. Here he worked __steadily_for_a_titne, and his family.-.:is well as his-benefactor rejoiced at the reformation wrought by kindness. After a while, how ! ever, he tell into his old courses and committed some act which led to the loss of his situation. Shortly after he was arrested on a charge of stealing some clothing and selling it, for which he was tried at the last session of_ the. Court at New Castle. He had no counsel, but after all the evidence was in, on being asked by the Court what he had to say for himself, he arose in, the dock and turning to • the jury, with tears streaming down hisctieeks,lie teld. air ingenic us stary,which suet every point Vrthe eildeneo VA.tairiSt — iiiin; and backed it by such an indignant protest against being suspected of such a contemptible crime, and an address of such dignity and :moving accidence that. an admiring'and sympathetic .jury—itnany of them with teals in their eyes— :. acquitteitliiin Without leaving:UV - Ak'. _ last offence is precisely similar, but it is doubt ful' whether he can again escape punishment by similar means.

THE WAR IN EUROPE. nu:lA:July 22.—The Journal °iliac/ pub lishes a circular of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated the 21st, and addressed to the diplomatic agents of France at foreign capi tals. The circular tnentions the explanation made on the 13th of July, in the Chambers, in regard to the rapid events ,Of a negotiation, in zehicli"as fast as we redould6d our efforts to preserve peace the secret desighs were,developed of an adversary resolved to render peace im possible. Whether the Berlin Cabinet had judged war necessary for the accomplishment of their projeCts against the self-government of the German States, or, hardly satisfied at having established in.the peaitre. of Europe a. military power formidable to all its neighbOrs, they had wished to turn to account the power already acquired by displacing definitively to the ad vantage of Prussia the internationali brium, the premeditated intention to refuse us guar antees which were indispensable to our secu rity, as well as our honor, showed itself by the strongest evidences in their conduct and the negotiations " The circular then mentions the candidature of the Prince of Ilohenzolletn; and declares that " the Berlin Cabinet hoped to place the 3'rince Ou the throne of Charles' V. by surprise, believing. .turope.. would .accept an.. accom plished Met; and that Frarice,iti suite ofher temporary displeasure, would hesitate to oppose the expressed will' of the Spanish people,. who were friendly, to :her. .The French government, informed of the danger from this ; intrigue, did not, hesitate to denouncd" it to the representatives of the people and 'to foreign powers. All have.felt that' !Prussia was alone in her un scrumtkpus policy, and that, knowing herself to be without the support of a common right, she has nevertheless sought to impose upon li:urope further abuse of so dangerous an extension of her influence. liranee took up the cause of the balance of power, lmoWing it.to .be the cause of all peoples menacedlike herself by the dis proportionate aggrandizement of One- royal house, In doing so she had not placed' herself in 'opposition to her own maxims and policy or those of the Great'Powers." The circular cites as proathe case of Creece and Naples, and the refusal'of the Great Towers to allow any , of. their princes to mount these thrones. ; The circular then mentiOns.ihe withdrawal of HOlie,nzolleru, the refuSal of Prtissitt'to give .guarantees, and . other incidents , Which have ...followed acidity , : "France ought to deman guarantees: , siuce.Trossia: fiad :already `lien word that the Prince of. liolietizellern' should:MA Mount:the throne' Of Spain. When- March.'lSoo, there had been a question Of :his candidature, the French Minister' at Berlin told the'''Eling 'no- Prussian could reign in ISpain.' Count Bismarck replied : ' , Franco :need not concerti herself at a contingency so improbable and Heir Von 'Mill, Prussian Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, gave his 'word of hotior 'that Hohenzollern was not and could not'be a candidate.' • "If assurances tints solemn cannot be relied (upon, diplothatic intercourse must cease. In iepudiating such pledges Prussia challenges France, who now only r dernands, in view of the tergiversation, that the former: renunciation of- - her depigfia,lie made real'anW,Ormanent."':' -- -The • circular-concludes by declaring—that_ " history must assign to Prussia the responsi bility for the war which she hed‘ t lie.:means of avoiding, and which, while she affects to de plore it, she- has' rather sofight,":and adds: " Under what circumstances has she done this? It is when France for four years ,last has re liained, with almost exaggerated scrupulous ness, from invoking against her treaties con cluded under mediation of.„ the - Emperor, but to which she has failed to give a voluntary support. Mall acts.-of that governaient which has only thought of means of freeing herself from the obligations of treaties even while signing theM, Europe has been a witness. Let Europe pronounce upon the justice of our cause." Emus, July 22, G. P. M.—Evening journals report several skirmishes yesterday between the advance guards along the line of the fron tier, but give no details.

It is said. •Count Palikao will command the expedition which is to enter Prussia through Denmark. The Garde Mo bile of France has been called out for active duty. None of the men are allowed to pie cure substitutes. The Journal Officiel pub lishes a series of regulations for the Garde Mo, bile: The General Council of the Bank.of France, by advice of the Governor, have vot- d to give 100,000 francs to the Sanitary Society, and have resolved to continue the salaries of all employes called into military service, whether in the army, reserve, or Garde Mobile.

If it is true that not be who declares war, but lie who causes it, is the real author,.there will be but One voice among nations to lay the re sponsibility upon Prussia, who; maddened by unhoped-for successes, and encouraged by our patience and desire to preserve. for:Europe the benefits of peace,has conspired against our security and attigd — o - iii - bonor.

To this the- Emperor replied as follows : experience great satisfaction, on the eve of my departure for the army, in being able to thank you for the patriotic co operation you have given 'my government. War Is legitimate when it is made with the assent-of the country-and the -approbation of its representatives. "You are right in recalling the words of - Montesquieu, "fhe true author of war is not i!e who declares, but he who renders it neces sary,,_ We have done all that dependfq on us _to avoid it, and I may say the entire nation in its irr, sistil de force has dictated our resolutions. 1 confide to you in parting the-Empress, who Will call you around her should circum stances require.

He will learn in the whist of the army how to serve his country. itesolved to pursue with every energy the great mission confided to me, I have faith in the suc cess of our armies, for I know France is stand ing behind me, and God protects us." MADRID, July 21, via Paris, July 22.—Par ties here have sought to excite the populace against France without effect. They attempted to create hostile demonstrations in front of the French Embassy, but failed. Spain is firm for neutrality. LoNDox, July 22.—Advices from the scene of war indicate that the Prussians will adopt a defensive line from Coblentz along the Ithine. Bismarck and General Moltke are equally confident, and are unreserved in their predic tions of success. The steamship Ho'sada, from New York. arrived at this port safely to-day. It is not yet known whether She will proceed to Hamburg.
