Yesterday I Vet: - unteered my services to the Committee. All the boys of about twelve years of age are giVen by their parents to act as aids. Par.. several hours I had three cars out of each train to take care of, a train arriving at very short in tervals. I had one man and four boys to help me, but it was very hard work. Still it was very interesting, and gave me a fine oppor tunity -of seeing the material of a Prussian army, and I must confess a more splendid bodXof men mortal never looked upon. The Twelfth Hussars Were particularly fine. They were not only splendidly-built young men, but also the handsomest fellows one could see, and their fine manners showed that most all were of good family. A young officer thanking me for.my activity in seeing my section particu larly well cared for, we exchanged names; he was Prince-Henry of Pless. In another train I had Jaegers_, consisting of every matt a furster or huntsman, splendidly armed with rifles. This train having to stop a little longer, I asked them; after they had taken their lunch, for a chorus, aud.they sang "Die Wacht am Rhein,! and a hunting-song, or " Jachtlied," in beautiful style., Another train of particularly-gay - boYa At - just - - passing our windows.

Napoleon speculated on the jealousy of South Germany against Prussia, or, to be precise,of Bavaria, Wiirtem berg and Baden against that power, and imagined he would have them as allies. He further supposed Saxony would be apathetic at best, whilst Hanover, Nassau, Hessen and a number of smaller States would open ly join the French. He hoped, moreover, for the aid of Austria and Italy,and with all these delusions he wickedly declared war without the slightest cause or reason..- Words cannot describe how much ho was mistaken ! At the word that the French were to enter Germany to posseSs themselves of the left borders of the Rhino, i,t was like a Hash of lightning over the whole of Germany, and the thunder of indignation arose from North and South, from East and West!

The plan of Napoleon to hurl an army, simultaneously with his declaration of war, into South Ger many, was completely thwarted, as Baden, Bavaria and Wurtemburg - forthwith declared war and pent their troops to the frontier.

England Bound to Protect Belgian Neu ' trality. • [From the London Spectator.] The air is loaded with rumors about Bel gium. Our deductions from them all—from Mr. Gladstone's speech, froth Lord Granville's hpeech, from the military preparations, and from the attitude of the Belgian government— is that the British Cabinet has resolved to!pro tectthe independence of Belgium if necessary Ity force ; that this resolve has been communi cated to both belligerentn, and that assurances tolerably satisfactory , in character have been obtained. What those assurances are will be explained to. Parliament before the session ends, an event said to be fixed for next Satur day. . nevertheless, the gox - ernment, being quite in earnest, on Tuesday demanded £2,000,000 and 20,000 additional,men, and obtained-them, only seven members of the crotchetiest and Teace.sopietiest.kind, voting.in_ttie negative.. he recruiting offices are already thronged, the arsenals are at work; the;Tartillery, which has been discreditably starved in the matter of horseS, is to be' brought up to its full strength, and the iron-clads in reserve are to he commissioned.

These are the surmises which will naturally, suggest them Selves as: long as tlie present silence is maintained. The purpose of the Prussians is, of course, to push Bazaine from his direct line of retreat, by Verdun and Chalon's, to Paris. To accomplish that is to secure.fog them- . selves the shortest line to aris, and to that end every effort of the victors will be directed. The position' of the French army' is certainly, a precarious one, and , the an nonneement that the Prussians are between it. and Chalons would create no greater aston ishment than the statement, made little more than a week ago, that - the, French' lines on the Satir:-.had been broken and MacMahon de •feated. If he succeeds in reaching Chalons, Bazatne'S . condition will 'not be greatly Un provnd. ..111acillahon may join him there, as ,their lines of retreat converge at that point; and he will have added , to his force two hun dred thousand men. But the men are not sol diers to stand in an open field on an unfortified plain before the deadly fire of the needle-gun. To his own broken army Bazaine WOuld thus add a demoralized mass capable only of eat ing, and be forced to continue the retreat from Chalons to Parts. Either alternate . seems terrible one for4the French army..

It says "The London Echo, an evening paper of small circulation, has the unspeakable honor of announcing, without qualifidation, that the Empress Eugenie, accompanied by the, Prince ri Impeal, has arrived in- London; and has taken suburban lodgings (furnished?) at St. John's Wood.

My information from . - the FrenclrEmbassy has been uniform, hew: ever, and the events of yesterday prove tha' it is reliable. On the night. of thelfith I was told that if the Pope declared the defi'-' nition of Infallibility, on the following' Won-- day,.._the_l.Bthof Jol3'; the' troops would - be withdrawn. On Tuesday, 19th, rheard' the same source that the Italian Government - would protect,the Pope against the Reds; and that an alliance was forming to- that effecthe-' tween the Emperor and 'Victor Emmanuel. Yesterday morning General Dumont asked' for an audience at the Vaticarti When he was received he said he had come to take leave of the Pope. He wished to_inform-His-Holineas t bat he and all - his division of occupation had' been recalled, and he communicated-to-the. Holy Father the official despatch received by - M. de Banneville, the.

The other evening, at the theatre in the Mausoleum••of Augustus, there was some slight allirsionmade. to the French in the course of the. play; and the hissing which ensued was startling, I cially in the present state of affairs. 'BUE ottlY startling for the moment,. for the Rennin is not a lighting nature. " EVen - the Vega not fight in Rome." There is something' in' the very air which predisposes one inthati sort of peacefnlness called by the barbarous ; ! cowardice.
