The Roumanian government has addressed a circular to the foreign powers, complaining of the menacing military attitude ' assumed by the Porte, which it declares to be totally uncalled for, seeing that the intentions which actuate the Rou manian government in its relations with Turkey are thoroughly loyal. The circular, in conclusion, announces that Roumania has been forced to arm in consequence of the warlike steps taken by the Porte. WENDBOR CABTLIf, Jun 13.

The New York pipers of the lid and 2nd inst. contain a great number of despatches respecting the Fenian " invasion " of Canada, mentioned in our telegraphic intelligence yesterday. The Herald gives the usual prominence to these despatches, by startling headings, such as " War," " Revolution in Canada," " Fort Erie Captured," " Bridge' Burned and Telegraph Wires Cut," " Canadian Rushing to Arms," " The Fenian Massing all along the Frontier," " A Battle expected to-day,' &c. The New York Times treats the invasion less seriously. Its headings are as follow : THE BORDER EXCITEIDINT. — " A bewildering maze of conflicting rumours."—" Alleged capture of the abandoned ruins of old Fort Erie."—" The Irish march with their ammunition and supplies in front."—" Despatches from everywhere telling all aorta of stories."—" Despatches from everywhere contradicting all those previously sent." —" The situation peculiarly Hibernian, and as clear as mud."—" Brilliant foretokening of battles soon to be fought."—" Excitement in this city, and every other city, and everywhere else."—" Nothing done yet, but great things going to be done." Immediately under these headings is an editorial note stating that the despatches which follow have been given in the order in which they arrived ; but that any attempt to put them into intelligible shape or coherence would be waste of time and patience. "There is scarcely an assertion (says the note) that is not speedily contradicted by another equally positive, so that the bewildered reader must be left in a state of dazed dubiousness little short of insanity." Entering more at length upon the subject in a leading article the New York Times says that it would be vain to attempt to argue anything from the frontier telegrams as to the strength or purpose of the Fenian raiders. It adds: Whether Sweeny has done more at Fort Erie—which is simply a deserted dunghill—than the redoubtable Kil lian did at Campo Bello, remains to be seen. This much is measurably certain—some portion of Mr. Sweeny's followers have crossed into the neighbouring provinces with what has the appearance of a belligerent pr-pose. In doing so they have not only broken the laws of the United States, but they have defied the power of the United States government. Whatever design they may have conceived of liberating Ireland by attacking a harmless colony, one-third of whose inhabi tants are peaceable and industrious Irish settlers, these raiders have begun their work of liberating Ireland by contemning the authority of the government of the United States. The question of what fate is in store for such of them as cross the frontier line is one which will be settled promptly and finally by the British military autho rities. They have as much chance of making a lodgment in Canada as in the moon. The British authorities have not only kept thoroughly well-advised as to every move- ment of these invaders, but they know pre cisely the estimate we put upon their lives. They know that most of them are heroes of the stamp of those who bravely led the retreat at Bull Run, who helped to make up the great army of bounty-jumpers, who, when they cease to be stipendiarie s of the War Department, usually draw their rations from the Commissioners of Corrections, who are the curse of American society, and a perpetual social and political scourge upon the American people. If two or three thou sand of these vagabonds get within the clutches of Gene ral Napier, let us beg of him not to spare them on onr ac count. The more the merrier. They would be lying and stealing here, if they were not raiding there. The New York Tribune says :—" The junior branch of the Fenian have at length invaded Canada—so much is certain. How many their number—what welcome they are to find—what re sources are at their back, remain to be developed. As by far the larger number of the Irish seem to follow the dag of O'Mahony and Stephens, the natural presumption is that the movement is rash, uncalculating, foolhardy, and that the shattered remnant of the Fenian army will soon be racing back across the frontier in most admired disorder. We say this isthe natural presumption—weProPhesy nothing whatever." The Tribune adds : Let us presume, then—as almost every one presumes — that the Fenian invasion of Canada will speedily be drowned in blood—that the wreck of General Sweeny's forces will soon be fleeing across the border—it will be a very great mistake to calculate that this will annihilate Fenianism. It will do nothing of the kind. The body may perish, but the spirit will survive. A century hence, as now, the Irish race will be plotting, organising, and occasionally fighting for independence, unless there shall meantime be developed an England wise enough, just enough, to abolish their swindling state church and make the three kingdoms alike contented and happy by just and equal laws, based on a recognition of the Ina- It to lienable rights of man. The Canadians have probably seen t new light on the subject of St. Albans raids and Coursol decisions. They used to think these rather amusing than otherwise. Perhaps they still do ; but we doubt it. If we should ever have another gigantic rebellion, we think their hospitality to conspirators and incendiaries will be less fervid than in the days not long past. At all events, we will hope so, alike for our own sakes and theirs. The New York Journal of Commerce says that Fort Erie, the point selected by the filibusters for their attack, is at the outlet of the Niagara River, from Lake Erie. It is a point of no military im portance, and its occupation, as abase of operations, does not, this paper thinks, indicate any great amount of strategic skill in the commander, who ever he is, who leads the advancing hosts. The latest intelligence respecting the " invasion" is contained in the following despatch dated Buffalo, Friday, June 1. "Parties arriving from the Fenian camp late to-night say that the Fenian, not having received expected accessions to their strength, and hearing of the approach of British troops, have broken up their camp, burned their muskets, destroyed their ammunition, and left in squads, ostensibly for raids, but it is generally thought really to endeavour to get back to the United States in the shortest space of time. General Sweeny was confidently expected, but did not come." (azuna's vimasassa.) THE RUPTURE BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. VIENNA, JUNE 13, Ev smse.

Linde de Ginn:lin, not a deputy, but another of Prince Napoleon's war journalists, reads the Emperor's letter precisely as I do. He says in the Liberti that as the war must surely break the existing " balance of power " in favour of either Prussia, Austria, or Italy, the case propounded by the Emperor as calling for the interference of France is certain to happen. He regards the coming war as a corollary to the Emperor's speech in 1863, when he said that if Europe would not grant him his congress war must " fatally " oome. The fatal day has now arrived, and Girardin, who is behind the scenes—for if he did not know that war was inevitable he would have advocated his old Peace Society doctrines — announces boldly that France " must logically be on the side of Prussia." The Emperor has a style of his own which has acquired no little celebrity. Drowsy as he is as a writer of history, it is not to be denied that the proclamations and political, letters in which he delights, and which deserve at least the credit of originality, have the merit of always striking the popular imagination. Each man reads and finds in them exactly what he wishes. "As the fool thinks, so the bell finks." But although these letter manifestoes are always written to admit of a convenient variety of interpretation, it is not often that they contain so strange an error of punctua tion as the following paragraph displays : "To protect those two interests does not the moral force of France suffice 7 To make her voice heard, must she draw the sword ? I do not think so." What is it that his Majesty does not think ? Is the moral force insufficient, or will the voice of the charmer make itself heard otherwise than in the roar of artillery ? Gramma tically, the one answer applies to the two questions and implies a contradiction. A letter from a friend in Vienna mentions that Prince Lichtenstein, the commandant of the Aus trian cavalry, has suddenly become insane, and that the calamity is attributed to vexation at Mar shal Benedek being appointed commander-in-chief instead of himself. The Bourse was weak, but the Emperor's letter did not produce so much depression as was ex pected at the little Bourse yesterday evening. Rente only fell 15c. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at 63fr. 76c., and 63fr. 45c. Italian rose 75c., the impression being that although war was certain yet the letter showed France to be so de cidedly on the side of Italy as to render its stock a good speculation at the present depreciated quota tion of 37fr. 30c. There was little change in other securities. ATLANTIC and GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

Esdabilahed UAL P' THE STRAND UNION GUARDIANS. Like the athletic Puritan in the story of Colonel Quagg, these guardians take their punishment .fighting. Tuesday evening was their first board meeting since the official inquiry into the disci pline of their workhouse, and its unanimous con demnation by the coun try. Accordingly the de liberations of these gentlemen were enlivened br some smart skirmishing between " the new blood ' anxious for improvement, and the older element, which fought sturdily for the maintenance of the notorious carpet-beating nuisance, and which still insists that little if any fault is to be found with the treatment of sick paupers proved to exist in their establishment in Cleveland-street. When the estimates for supply cams under consideration, a guardian suggested that seven instead of six barrels of beer should be ordered, that the scandal of the beer running short one day in each week might be prevented. " Too much beer used there already," from the chairman of the board, and protests against the speaker being out of order from other guardians, settled that part of the question, , which was merely an indication of what was to follow. A letter written by the master of the workhouse to the editor of the Times but which had not been inserted in that journal, was read to the board. This production, which was full of charges of " party , feeling," " one-sidedness," " unfair suppression, ' against those prompting and those reporting the recent inquiry, was made the text of a very animated dis cussion on the general questions affecting this local board. The chairman maintained it to be " a very fair letter," and thought they should insist upo its publication by " paying or any other way. " One guardian proposed this formally, and another, the gentleman who distinguished himself by a sking Dr. Rogers whether mesenteric disease was " something to eat," seconded it. Then came taunts against these advocates of eco nomy wishing to waste the ratepayers' money in unnecessary advertisements, and admissions, charges, a nd counter-charges of a somewhat equi vocal character. That the master has not gone through the workhouse more than once a week ; that he stated to the board that keeping the workhouse books occupied him from morning to night ; that to this functionary is due some of the scandal under which the Strand Union is smarting now ; that the letter it was pro posed to publish was " extremely inaccurate, igno rant, and injudicious"—that " extraordinary animus and bitter hatred " against Dr. Rogers was known to exist among the guardians ; that the mere mention of his name had been the signal for an out burst of derision • that the condition and acts of the Strand board up to March last had been " simply disgraceful,' were among the statements which awakened most dissension. There were plenty of interruptions, and deuce irrevalent per sonalities, but none of these allegations were con tradicted circumstantially. " Don't you be so fast ; I'm not a going to be done !" was the protest of a speaker declared to be out of order ; " It's a very odd thing, but whenever I get up to speak, I'm always put down, when others is allowed to speak three or four times ; yet I've a tide among you all, I have, fur I'm describewon't d as a gentleman in the Noting papers, and yet you listen to me !" from the something to eat" guardian—and " We're not servants of the Poor-law Board here," are specimens of the argu ments employed. It is only fair to add, however, that the advocates of common sense and mode ration were in the majority, and that the proposal to print the workhouse master's letter, either at the expense of the ratepayers or with the consent of the board, was negatived in the following amend ment, which was carried by 10 votes to 5 :—" That inasmuch as the inquiry is unfinished, no proceed ings be taken by this board until after the commis sioner's report is before us." " Don't let us talk and talk, and only get ourselves laughed at ;" " We're likely to get a better character from the official report of the Poor-law Board than by writing to the papers," were among the expostulations used. But " the less said about it the better" of one speaker, and the admissions of otherspresent at the inquiry sufficiently showed the folly of attempt to impugn the accuracy o f a re p ort which, if it erred at all, erred on the side of forbearance to the authorities. But for a pre vious knowledge of the circumstances leading to the discussion of Tuesday night, a stranger might easily have imagined that parminal dignity was the chief thing at stake. We heard hut one allusion to the sufferings said to have been inflicted on the sick paupers, and this was promptly coughed down as the acme of bad taste. Still, signs were not wanting of an honest desire for reform. This occasionally assumed a form which sail experience has shown to be inoperative, as when a gentleman proposed a workhouse complaint hook, in which doctor and visitors should be invited to write, as a panacea for existing ills. But the desire is there, and in the difficulties besetting its rialisation, in the obstructiveness, personality, and even indigna tion with which those having it arc met, may be seen arguments for a mole sweeping change of system than the most humane and intelligent guardians can be expected to effect a ith the mate rials at their disposal, unless actively aided by stringent additions to the law. , , : t 1 ootisi", war VII i o n ly ut tia PRUSSIAN DECLARATION AT THE FEDERAL DIET. BERLIN, Jcsx 13. The semi-official Norddentselte Allgenteine Zeitung of to-day says, " The proceedings of Austria in the Federal Diet are at variance with the Federal constitution. The proposal for mobilising the forces of the confederation cannot for a moment be entertained in accordance with Federal law, nor can Prussia recognise the competency of the Diet to give a decision respecting international treaties already concluded. She will be compelled to regard every German Federal state as her adversary that shall comply with the demand of Austria, and become a party to an act by which the Diet would exceed its competency. The same journal publishes an article which, after reviewing the various federal reform pro posals made since 1863, says :—" The idea of Austria remaining a member of a more closely united confederation must at last be abandoned. Article X. of the Prussian reform project would secure to Austria that very position towards a re formed confederation which she so unyieldingly claims for herself, on the principle that all German States should be confederate. Prussia is striving to bring about such a reconstruction of the Federal constitution as shall affect as little as pas Bible the independence of the middle States, and a Bund so closely united in its organisation that no foreign intervention, under the pretext of solving questions affecting the European equilibrium, could ever interpose obstacles in the way of the national oirations." e: Coup dna April sad Oct. 800,000 doh.) year per cent of each denomination will be drawn on the above O. and the Bonds ao drawn that have been issued in London adi be paid off at the rate of £225 for every 1,000 dollar Bond, 111 2 10s. for every 500 dollar Bond, and £22 10e. for every 100 doper Bond, on presentation at the Company's Aloes, 5, West woke Chambers, Victoria-street, Westminster: the Bonds of the New York section on the lot October, 18ee, and of the Penn syltania section on Ist January, 1867, In addition to the Coupon due on those days, after which all Interest will cease. on payment the drawn lion& will be cancelled In the presence of(lialic notary. 5, Westminster Chambers, Victoria-street, • Westminster.

PARIS, Jons_l3.. In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legislatif the debate on the budget was resumed. M. Gamier Pages demanded of the government whether the events which threatened to disturb the peace of Europe might not absorb the surplus during the last half-year of 1866 ; whether the expenditure provided for would not be exceeded in the event of its becoming necessary for France to take up a position of armed neutrality ; and whether, if such should be the case, the government would convoke the Corps Legislatif. M. Rouher replied, to the first question, that the surplus during the first six months of the current year had reached 19 millions, and the events alluded to could not shake the favourable condition of the budget. With regard to the latter portion of the question of M. Gamier Pages, M. Rouher stated that the government, not having tho right to open credits by decree, would necessarily have to con voke the Corps Legislatif. This declaration was received with cheers. M.

Avg." The principal fi gure is in tended to represent the Emperor Tiberius himself, who is also indicated in the inscription upon the second shield, " Victoria Augusti." The youthful military figure stand ing before the Emperor, and presenting to him an image of Victory, is no other than Germanicus, whose military adventures and successes in Germany are so vividly re corded by Tacitus. This interesting relic fetched 121 guineas, and was secured by Mr. Dyer.
