WlietherPrUßsia or England stands next on Napomon’s catalogue events alone can show. He has aflne army on the banks of the Rhine, threatening Prussia. He has an army, crowned with recent victory, to attack England if it please hihi, and he has a noble navy to con vey his troops across the Channel, with the .due harbor of Cherbourg to assemble. in and start'ftorn.'

' It is worthy notice that, iu tho British Par.

He had 1 heard thepeace condemned, and.-hy English Statesmen, be cause tho Emporor of the French had not re alized the-programme. with which ho Bom, mended the war; But there was no instance in which the objects, of a war had been fully, or in a great degree realized.

Bright as to the evil that might result from the tone of hostility adopted towards the Emperor of tho French, and the nation he governed. England had no right to. make itself censor as. to tho manner in which foreign nations wore governed. Eng land had only to look at the manner In which the Sovereign of France had performed the duty of an ally, and no one could deny that ho had frilfillcd that duty toward England. That was no reason, however, why England should not put itself in a state of defence, and not trust her .security to the forboorancc of another country. It seems that, on all sides, tho anger of Napoleon is very greatly dreaded. Letter from Bedford; [Correspondenc af Tbs Preßr.; BEnroitp Soninas, August 1, 1850, Mr. Buchanan left,ns this morning, accompanied by MlssLsno and Mrs. Thompson. Ue goes to Cum* borland, Md., about thirty miles distant, and thence directly to Washington. I fear that his visit has not provod an agreeable one., His unpopularity, and tho grief and indig natfcmfclt by too people at the singular course he has pursued, were painfully apparent to every one, and cannot have escaped bis own eye. This is, I believe, his twonty-first summer visit, to Bedford, and. although ho is now at the summit of power, ho hue never hsd less attention bestowed upon him. There has been no bitterness of feeling displayed toward him, but tho general desire has been to ignore him altogether. When he left this morning, there was not the elighteet interest manifested in his departure. Almost any other visiter would have had more friends to gather round him to wit ness his departure. He has completely alienated from himself the affections of the people, and the politicians are all becoming shrewd enough to see that their true cue ;is to shun him, if they do not wish tp become morkod mon hereafter, and to bo regarded as political lepers,. . I saw several of his old friends the other day, and asked them if thoy had called upon him. They told mo, “ No, and wo do not Intend to, for we fear the interview would be unpleoeaut.’’. Knowing tbat they had no poli tical grievances, I asked thorn why they bad suoh a fear. Their answer, was : “ Ob, he might ask us about some of his old friends in our neighborhood, and ae they liavo now beoome bitterly opposed to him, wo should not like to tell him so.” Every one remarks, “how little attention has been paid to the President;" “how often be is left entirely alone;” “how flat he fell;" howunpopnlar hois;” “ho isn’t foolish enough to suppose he could bo re-elect ed, is, he?” etc. Butonoofthe best criticisms I have heard on Mr. Buchanan, fell from the lips of one of the hard-fisted Democracy of this region, whom I met here the other day—a Frenchman by birth. He gavo a political turn to onr conversation liyallying, “lam a Demoorat.” “Ah!” said I, and a Buchanan Demoorat, I suppose.” “No! I go for se principle—ro principle, and not for.se man.” “ But, I sppposo, as Mr, Buchanan is tho Domooratio President, you feel bound to admire and Sustain him, don’t yon?” “No! Ivill toll you— I ztrlA sat Mr. Buchanan is a very gomt man to manage his own financial' affairs, but a very bad man to manage ze affairs of ze United States as President." The bath house here is under the charge of one of ths characters of the place—a negro, named Robert Brown. He has a very Intelligent counte nance, and a physiognomy remarkably similar to that of Colonel Benton. He Is one of the old stand bys of the place, and has his own ideas about men and things just as well as people with whiter faoos, He was with Commodore, Forty at the battle of Bake Erie, and claims a share of the glory of ,that great victory. After recounting to mo eomo of his exploits the other day, I remarked that he was a very distinguished man. “Yes,” be answered, with a roguish twinkle iu his eye, “dere is two great men about dis place—one is Joems, (and be pointed to where the President was sitting, solitary, and alone, upon tho baloohy fronting his room,) and do odder is old Bob Brown—but, by golly, I guess Bob’s do biggest man of do two.” There have been half a dozen Republican politi cians here for one ol tho Democratic school. These gentlomen foel so certain of a viotory in 1860 that it becomes a matter of tho highest importance to get ali tho preliminaries arranged as speedily as possible. Thanks to Mr. Buchanan and his polity the Democratic party is in a braised, heart-sore, and displritod condition, and the Opposition scarcely deign to fear it. lam net in die ring of the Oppo sition caucusing, and really know nothing of the nature,of the arrangements thoy have been matu ring here; but I suppose a sort of Oamoron and anti-Cameron oontest is, to some oxtent, involved In' it. Meanwhile, it will be woll onough for all oonoerned to remember the historical fact, that when wise counsels govern tho Democratic party, and when, after it has constructed a platform .truly Democratic, and choson a candidate worthy of the age and of the party, tho voters of tho nation are marshalled into line for the Presidential con test, the Demooratio nominee generally has what they oali out West “ a pretty smart chanoo” of suoctss- ' A considerable number of visitors left this morn ing, and hereafter thore will be little difficulty in ob taiuing rooms.

An Interesting oaf a was tried yestord&y. William D. Phillips was in dieted upon tfio alleged charge pf forging the frank of Hon. 6. A. Douglas on a number of circular let ters, put by him in the Washington post office, to be sent to different sections of tho country, The prin cipal testimony was the admission by thadbfendant to the olerks of the .post office and tHtf postmaster. Sopator Douglas wai examined to. prove that he had not given apy authority for the use of his frank. Mr. Granger, the b*Qtber ; in s tyw of Judge Douglas,.testified to the fact that he (tho witnoss) never used the Judge’s frank, even in writing to the members of bis family. Tbo prosecution was instituted by the Government, and Judge Douglas bad JW participate, in it. Mr.. Norris, who de fended 5 Mr, Phillips,.contended that the proseou- intended to punish a frfepd pf Judge Douglas, beoanse be was not in favor with the Ad ministration ; bo aiito said that this was the first case of the kind that bad ever been brought before the ooutfc of this District, and that such prosecutions ought rightly to commence in the folding-rooms of Congress, where millions of documents are franked eyery year, by boys and other persons not members Of either bpuso. The District-Attorney .replied that the franking by boys alluded to was a matter of public' necessity, and that authorized by Congressmen to do 40 ; but in thiß case It was done for private and without authority. The juty acquitted, tha, defendant in twenty ntinqtos after, loaving tho box.

There is no question that the fnmklpg privilege la very greatly abused; but, nevertheless, its abolition typpld not be attempted. Laws should be passed preventing such abase of it. I should deprecate its total abolition, for the roa&on that the privilege is designed moro for the benefit of the peoplo than for tho member of Congress or officers who exercise ft,. .There should be no tax laid, in tbo.way of postage or otherwise* upon tho intercourse between the constituent and Mb servant—whether executive or legislative. I leum that a proposition is to be made by tlje Postmaster General at the next session of Congress, to do away with the franking privilege by members of Con. gress.

THE ZURICH CONFERENCE. Vienna, Friday Evening.—ln the course of next week the representatives of Austria and France will meet at Zurich, Austria and France will then conolude a treaty of peace, and Sardinia, if ehe plcasos, may accede to It by an additional ar ticle. It is stated that tbo Conference at Zurich will as* Bemble in the oourao of a few days or a fortnight. It will bo attended by the representatives of France, Austria, and Sardinia, who will there draw and sign the definite treaty of peace between the three rowers. This task is the more urgent if it be true, as it is positively affirmed, that the King of Sardinia, although ho signed the armistice, has not signed the preliminaries of peace conoluded by the two Emperors at Villa Franca. If wo may be* lieve the Nord, which, in this rcapoot, certainly represents the wishos of tho French Government, the Conference at Zurich will be followed by an European Congress, which will thoroughly examine the Italian question, and discuss the basis of the proposed Italian Confederation. This assertion agrees with other reports current is Paris, where it now seems to be thought that any reluctance on the part of the English or Prussian Governments has been, or will be overcomo, and that an Euro* pean Congress will certainly consider the Italian question PRUSSIA.

GARIBALDI’S MOVEMENTS. A letter from Milan of tho IMb inat, in the Tford of Brussels, says: u I am able to communicate to you some details relative to Garibaldi and his corps d'armie. You may readily imagine that tho conclusion of poaoe had excited some apprehension as to the conduct whioh that corps would pursue. I have always thought that the soldiers of Garibaldi would stifle tho grief which the separation of Yoncfia must,, have exoited in their ardent minds, and that they would respect military discipline, whioh has always been exemplary among them. This, in fact, is the case. On the arrival of tho news of peace.) Gene ral Garibaldi assembled his soldiers, ana, after having' calmed their excitement by a noble* ad dress,he requested them to renew the oath of fide* IHy to the King, which they did without opposi tion.

Russell.” PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr. Bright inveighed with much bitterness against tho! attacks made, he said, upon the French Emperor, and consequently upon tha French nation, and whioh tended to plunge this country into war. He could not believe that France gaw the question of war in a different light - from ourselves, and that thirty million Frenchman were not as anxious for a perpetual peaeo with England as most intelligent ana Christian Englishmen were for a perpetual Eeace with Franoe. If he was in the position of ord' John Russell, he would try to emancipate himself from the old bloody traditions of the Fo reign Office; he would approach Franoe In a sonsi ble { moral, and Christian spirit, and test tho sin cerity of the Government ny proposing an altera tion of the tariffs of tho trro oountriea in the Interest of free trade. He believed, if this offer were hon estly made—not with diplomatic finesse—it would bring about a different state of things. Lord John Russell said, he hod seen with pain the attempts mode to awaken a feeling In this coun try against the sovereign and the people of France, which could only prodaoe on their part a feeling of animosity against the people of this country.' Re believed that the Emperor of the French had been a faithful ally to this country; whaL then, was the meaning of the eontmual inveotiYes against him ? Ho believed that, as for os he was concerned, tho Emporor had boon anxious to got rid of protect ing duties, as Injurious to Franoe, but it would not be prudent to give a handle to the Protectionist party in that country to oharge him with sacrificing the interests of Franoe to those of England. , Lord Palmerston, after explainingthe opinion he had expressed regarding the foreign policy of the late Government, and declaring his oonviotion that, had they employed the means in their power, they might h&vo prevented the rupturo between France and Austria, defended bis own views of foreign polioy with respect to the Congress. Whether we were to be parties or not was a question under con. sideration, bat it would not bo tolerated that oar representative should be present merely to register the arrangements between other partios without the consent and concurrence of England. Re agreed with Mr. Bright as to the evil that might result from the tone of hostility adopted towards the Emperor of theFrenoh'and the' nation he go-' verned. , . . , We had no right to njako ourselves censors as to the manner iq which foreign nations were governed. We had only to look at the manner in which the sovereign of Franoo had performed tho duty of an ally, and uo one eould dony that be had fulfilled that duty towards us. That was no reason, how ever, why we should not put ourselves in a state of defence, and not trust our security to tho forbear ance of another country. Mr. 8. Fitzgerald observed that every one most see that the two hpblp lords had mode up their minds to.go into a* Congress, and that, if they eould got into the Congress, thoy would. The circum stances wore different from those which existed when Lord Malmesbury proposed a Congress, and tho object was different, They would go into the Congress either to alter the terms of the peace or to accept them, If the former, in whoso interests, ho asked, were we to enter into the Congress? It would be the duty of the Government to inform the House at the' earliest moment of’ their decision re specting tho entering into the Congress. Tho suhjeot was then dropped. On Friday, in reply to an inquiry by Mr* Pease; Lord Palmerston said the formation of harbors qf refuge on our coasts waa an object of great impor tance, but it was calculated that tho expense that would.be Incurred'thereby would be about £4,000,'. 000, and competent authorities thought they could not be completed but at a much greater cost; so her Majesty's Government had nointention to pro pose a treasure upon this subject during the present session.* - ’ ‘ Tho motion for adjournment was agreed to. • On tho order forgoing into n.Committee of Sup ply, In replydo a questioh.by Mr. Griffith, Lord J. Russell Bald ho had understood from the Emperor of the French that there is no provision or understanding in the treaty of Villa Franca that the late dynasties of Tuscany, Modena, and Panna are to he restored to those possessions, if necessary, by military foree. ' AFFAIRS IN NAPLES. Naples, July 16. —Prince Satriano (Filangleri) has,'it appears to me, acted with commendable promptitude in disembarrassing this country of the. Swiss guards. It is ail very well to say that he could not have done otherwise; still, a man of less 'decision would not, In forty-eight hoars after the catastrophe of the Bth. have marched down nearly two thousand men to the arsenal, and shipped them off for, Marseilles,, Of course, every one regards, the whole corps as disbanded, for, though the first regiment, in Palermo, a portion of the fourth in Naples, and some few of the seoond and third regi ments, still remain,'they are all so demoralized that they o&n po longer be of any use to theCtoren* sent, TIIECITY^ Ihfobtant Arrest of a Gang of Row- of an Incendiart.— -The elti seas of Germantown have for a long time’ booh ex cessively annoyed by the scandalous conduct of a gaagof rowdies, who. have been in the habit ’of congregating near the house;of the Mount Airy Engine Company.. So desperate had they become, that the community were really afraid, that.-their property would receive the torch of the inoendisry, ..and, for the purpose ofproteotiDg'tiiemarives-fonu. ed a patrol, which was composed.of several police men and a number of the first citizens of that vi cinity. , /; r . - , ' i On Saturday night the behavior of the rowdies was so outrageous, that several citizens, among whom were .ex-Alderman Robert Thomas, Mr. A. S. Tourison, ex-officer of the Mount Airy; Stephen Eberi, and other.inembers of the Mount Airy Com pany, went out and remonstrated with the crowd. The crowd dispersed shortly after, but, from cer tain expressions they used, it was supposed that their intention was to fire a building some time du ring the night. This anticipation, was. realized. About one o’clock on Sunday morning, it was discovered that a large shed on Allen’s lane, near the township line, owned by Jacob Smith & Sons, and used fordryingtobacco, was on fire. The shed .and its contents were totally destroyed, and tho barn qf Mr.^Smith made a very, narrow escape. Suspicion 'at once fell on the party above all uded to, and they were accordingly arrested on Monday morning, and bound over, by. Alderman King, to answer the charge of disorderly conduct. In tho afternoon of. that day, from certain hints received from members of the parti', a man named Goorge Hansberry was taken into custody, on the charge of firing the building. Upon being the station-house he confessed his guilt, and implicated three others. The facts were laid before Fire Marshal Black burn, who visited Germantown on Tuesday after noon, when Hansberry made Ihe following affi davit: •' My name is George Hansberry: am going on twenty-one years of age; reride with my parents, on Allen’s lane; am willing to tell all f know in regard to tho _ burning of the drying abed of the * Messrs. Smith, tobacconists, on Allen’s lane, west of the Maui * street, Germantown, on the morning of Sunday, July 31st; on Saturday night, near ll o’clock, I was. at Miller’s corner, Mount; Aliy, where I met a party of young fellows, whose names are Zepbaniab Cook/David Bolter, PcterDnnbar, Edward Hansberry, Charles Gerhart, George Freas, John Frew, George Richards, Joseph Brit ton, wm. Carr, Charles tiands,Th(»; Money, and one or two others, whose names I cannot remember. Several of these young men were singing and hallooing; Thos. Morley wak standing near me at the time; Charles Gerhart caught me around the neck and .pulled me' out into the street, and asked me to take n drink withjum. which I did; he had a bottle of whiskey; well, then, they kept on hal looing ; Charley Gerhart and Gedrge-Ricnards now had me around the neck; they dragged me over to Mr. Thomas’; I told them to let me go; X broko from them and went over to Miller’s corner again; some of the party continued to' sing and shout. It was after 12 o’clock when Edward Hansberry, who is a relative of mine, and who was sitting ou the fence, came up to me and asked me to take » drink with him; be had a bottle of liquor too; I drank, with him; as fast, as the~*botiles and jugs of liquorwere drabk the boys got them filled again at a place dose by. Edward Hansberry asked me if I knew any place where a fire could be made: I told him no, I did not; he then asked me if Smith’s tobacco ehojp (hd knew 1 had worked for Smith) had anything in It; I told him I did not know; then he said, “ here take this box of matches, (handing me the box with matches in it,) and go and see;” I took Ihe matches; I don’t know whether he told Tom Morley or any body else to go with me or not, but .Morley and another fellow came right up to nie and asked me if I would go with them to build a fire; they said, they wanted to have a “«hwA;” I told- them-no'l wouldn’t; then they kept poßing around me all the time, both qf. them; they wouldn’t let me alone; I told them if they didn’t I would hit them: I did strike Tom Morley, whQ fell down ; .he was drink j I also gave Charley Gerhart a above with my open hand, and pushed him away from me. It must have been after one o’clock when E. Hansberry, Tom Morley, and another fellow came up to me again; E. Hansberry told us tojgo and do it; I mean, fire the shed ;-I told. them I did- not care about going; they said come on; kept per suading me, and I went; we, that is Tom Morley, another fellow, and myself, went back of Millar street and down through the lots to Creesoxp lane, and through tho yard of Haines’place, and is th?« way through the fields to the sheas approaching it, the back way; I .bad the matches which E. Hans berry bad given me; the shed was open, so that we could get in; there was a pile of bundles of straw in it; we all three, that is Morley,'the other fellow, and myself, got around the straw, and all ofus struck matoheoand touched it off. _ • After we saw -it in > .blase, we oil got out as quickly as we could and ran; they, Morley and the other fellow, went through the clover field, and I wont np to ,tiie fence of my father’s garden,which was near by, and jumped over, and got into‘the house and went toned; I laid still about five mi nutes, and then awakened zny brother and father, and told them there was a fire; we all ran out ana gave the alarm; I then ran down to the Main street and met the Germantown -Hose*, and came to the fire with her. v , , . „..

At about 10 o’olock Young’s Brass Band sainted the company, in the rotunda of that building, with lively strains of music, after which Mayor "Weaver, in a few neat remarks, wel comed .Mayor Bishop and his felloir excursionists, ’ ■and extended to them the hospitalities of the city. Mayor Bishop replied in a short speeeh, in which he referred to the intimate business relations of the . two cities, and to his own frequent visits there as a business man, during the last twenty-five years. .He contrasted the condition of things twenty-five years ago, when it took a week to pass between the. two cities, and that existing now, when a man can eat his breakfast in one city and sup in the other. He t hen briefly alluded to the purpose of their visit ’East, and closed by thanking the Mayor and citi zens of Pittsburg for the kind and unexpected re ception accorded thorn. On the next morning the guests visited a number of the Pittstmig, rolling mills, the United States arsenal, the cebetery, and some of the larger glass works. The company expressed themselves as tonished at the number and capacity of the Pitts burg manufactories, and closed their morning's ex cursion' witir srliigher opinion of the city and her • "resources than 'could have been formed otherwise than from an inspection of her extensive work shops. At half past fonr the company departed on tho mail train. They arrived at Altoona the same evening, and took quart ors at the Logan House. They were ap propriately received by the authorities of the borough, and found a sumptuous entertainment prepared for them. They remained there over night, and in the morning availed themselves of the invitation of Colonel T. A. Scott, superinten dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to take an excursion across the mountains' before breakfast hour, after which they proceeded on their way to Philadelphia. The party re&ohed Harrisburg in time for dinner, and arrived in this city, as already stated, at 5.20 P. M. yesterday, much pleased with their trip and its inoidents. They were' met, upon their arrival, by a-delegdtion'ftom and conducted to' the St. Lawrence Hotel, whore the amplest arrange ments had been mado for their reception, and for the comfort of the inner man. At nine o’olock this morning the guests will be received at Independence Hall, by a formal speech of welcome from Mr. O. P. Conrman, President'of the Select Council. This introductory ceremony being completed, the visitants will make the tour of the public institutions of the city, make an ex cursion upon the Delaware and Schuylkill, and be conducted to such objects as the majority of their number feel inclined to visit. They will remain in the oily two or three days, and then depart for Baltimore. They will devote especial attention to the workings of-the passenger railroad, and the fire-alarm and police telegraph, and will doubtless derive many valuable hints from these improve ments. Painful Ac cident —Two house-painters, named John Statxel and Joseph C. Brahm, met with an accident yesterday afternoon while paint ing a wall in tho rear of Messrs. Abbott & Jobnnes’s dry-goods store, Market street, above Fifth, which ' will probably prove fatal to the first named. It appears they were standing on a ladder suspended from tho top of the wall while painting, and at a ..distance' of fifty feet from the roof of a back build ing, when the rope suddenly broke. Thoy both fell with great violence. Brahm escaped with one jOf his' fingers slightly cut. "'Statzel was dangerously injured, and was convoyed to the Pennsylvania Hospital in an insensible condition.
