TUE EUROPEAN tii Ait The dispatch containing the announce ment of Peace was, if not bogus, at I.3sst premature. Instead of peace, there wss simply a preliminary truce of five day. which was afterwards prolongated into au armistice of four weeks. , Yet, although no peace, tiffs armistice virtually amounts te the same thinss. Prussia would not bar, have acceded to it if Austria had no given sufficient guaranties for the earnes;- nets of her intentions. So, although nog yet declared, we may nevertheless look to peace as certain, and use the leisure which the pending negotiations give us for a gen era review of European affairs. Within six weeks the political aspect or European Powers has undergone a radical clur ge. Before that time, France stogie evidently as the leading State, with its in fluence based on the efficiency of its armies. TheV had shown their prowess on the plains of Lombardy and given emphasis to every word whi di their Emperor chose to utter. Now this is slightly altered. Those Atiatrian armies which gave them so much trouble in Italy and were only overcome after many desperate conflicts; those armies that after their retreat into the quadrangel were still formidable enough to let Nara- Ignost prefer a safe peace to :he uncertain chances of continued war, were suddenly, overwhelmingly defeated by a Power whose military excellency had existed only in the. ory, but of whose real strength the world was totally ignorant. Indeed, there is not a single State or statesman, in Europe or America, to whom this stupendous devel opment of the power of Prussia has not been a complete surprise. Frame did not expect it, or NarohnoN might not have deemed It prudent to give Ittsmank hFir. play; Austria did not expect it, or , it would not recklessly intro -,,inaged into a double conflict. The smaller (retinae Stater expected it least offal, or they would have bean more cautious in casting their votes on the 14th of June. Indeed it is the question, whether Prussia was not surpris ed at herself. And yet the careful observ er might have expected all that has nap paled. Admitting that the coarse blunders of the Austrian leader facilitated the Prus sian success, ;admitting that they hod a great advantage ru their needle-grins—the real cause of their rapid progress, their surprising achievements—lies deeper. In Austria the soldier is nothing but a ma chine, moving at the pleasure of his offi. cera, but having no animating influence og his mi. Poorly educated, purposely held in the fetters of superstition, he is nothing but a cipher, which onlygains influence by the leading figure. Now let this figure he a cipher itself, as in the case of BENEtinn, and the whole sum is reduced to nothing. Nor is the soldier alone Inferior individu ally; the Austrian officer stands deeply be low his Prussian colleague. When a Prussian or Hanoverian cadet fails in the examination, through - which all have to pass, be goes, as a last resource, to Aus via ' and receives a lieutenancy without any dif ilettlty whatever. Any Prussian officer eim,'ertresigning, receive employment in the Artstriati army with promotion. h Is, then, the element of education and anti;.' enment pervading the Prussian at my which makes it, so efficient in its etfor's. In this respect it is not only superior to the Anstrlana, but to the English and French too, for that matter. In France the oft.cer and even the common soldier are polite in their manners, but not exactly profound is their knowledge,dn spite of the military schools ffirotigh which they have to go, inc. -in'Etigland, where everybody can true c c'.tunissilon, the efficiency, generally spekking, cannot be very high.

This condition was recently illus trated by a newspaper pa-agraph in which a barbarian chief was described as exhibit ing his generosity towards a christian mis sionary. The chief asked the preacher if he was fond of meat. Receiving an affirm ative answer, he ran his eyes over the -of rwoole by whom he was SIIMIIII a plump gin, ,neee tier dow! at his . feet, and earnestly inquired Jr one was enough. In somewhat advanced conditions of society, in the later stages of Barbarism , and the earlier eras of Civilization, the law.. are written in blood. Death is the penalty for most offences. Nor is deatt itself regarded its a suffigieu expiation Torture in its most terrible foi ins, is coin monly sapetadded. Not rnfrinently in nocent relatives are assumed to be vicari ously involved in guilt, and subjected to equal severities. As society advances—as malignant pas sitats are subdued and the:lir:idly charities developed—the number of oir, f i res Judzed to be capital, are d'inimshed. Tic prowess is, in general, so gradual as scar, t - :y to be perceived. Some of the in not it against God and religion—agans nts:l, his person, reputation and pmperty :tr.. allowed to be condoned by imprison ments, tines or restrictions. Then, only the chief violators of each particular right or precept are held to be capital. After wards, whole classes of acts drop from the , atalogue of crimes, as heresy, demonol ogy, witchcraft and the like. The princi ple of justice, badly defined and shock im,ly applied, begins to wane. Love .ittn us, and begins to assert its rightful authority, and in methods peculiar to !:self Sometimes it takes grotesque shapes, and not to shale the empire with jus. tiro, but to have justice absolutely de throned. Just now an earnest discussion, partici. paled in, it must be confessed, by a small minority, is carried on, relative not simply to the efficiency, but the obligation of alio! fishing the death penalty altogether. In nc•rals, as in mathematics, the grunter in volves the less. It Justice, iu its higber awl severer applications cannot be main. mined, It is difficult to see what basis i.

NOT' iR the ease numb altered if thr shined from the domain of absolute Hight to that of Expediency. It would seem to tot tow inevitably that if the higher evhilii lio:ls of Justice are prejudicial to social pi ogress and legal ameliorations, the low er exhibitions of it must fall undtr the sante censure, iu corresponding ratio. If in one tOnn, tends to brutalize and •l?.:,se, it is difficult to see why the rnh dors not hold good all through. So long as so many human beings arc organized as to be influenced solely er irwrily by the lower propensities, or by brute force, it may sound pleasantly to talk of appeals to their better natures, of bring. lug them under the dominion of the affec tions, and all that sort of thing, but pntcti• cal!y labor in that direction must tail of satisfactory results. —Their are at present 10,758 Aoldien4 in the Government hospitals. —All the "fashionable churches" in New York have been closed for the summer. —Edwin Booth commences an enzage vent at the Boston Theatre in Septeni hr. —Prof. Louts Sgassiz goes to the Purn Eqs.tsition as Commissioner for Massuchu.
