The commanderlin-chief of the new Admi nistration had, indeed, distinctly laid down the principles on which he hoped to regulate the policy of his Government, but Mr. DISRAELI'S opinions are always worth having, whatever be his position, and just now when he is assuming such serious responsibilities they are very important. His abi lities as a public speaker will always carry him suc cessfully through any occasion, but in this instance he had much to say that was of itself interesting. Leaving the struggle of the Parliamentary session on one side, he contented himself with remarking that he knew by experience that nothing could be more painful and more unsatisfactory than the attempt to govern the country without the confidence of the Commons, and therefore he considered the date Ministry fully justified in resigning their offices if they felt such to be their position. Coming to more general topics, the first subject with which he dealt was our foreign relations, and referring to the policy of non intervention in continental disputes, which is now adopted by this country, he declared it was not in consequence of- the decline but of the increase of her power. " The truth is that England has outgrown the European continent. The position of England is no longer that of a merely European Power. England is the metropolis of a great maritime empire, extending to the boundaries of the furthest ocean." She interferes in Asia because she has such wide Asiatic interests ; she interferes in Australia and Africa, and if she does not interfere in Europe, it is because her honour and interest are not affected by European changes. In those changes she naturally takes a deep interest, but she is not bound to take an active part. Our foreign relations, says Mr. DISRAELI,' are moll ga tisfaetory, and with no Power ar© they more so than with the U of America. He com plimented the efficiency and vigour of ,tue rican Government as displayed in the repressive measures adopted towards the Fenians. As for those heroes themselves, he regretted that they should have disturbed the peace of Ireland, but thought, with reason, that the excessive emigration of late years was the more dangerous evil of the two. Passing briefly over the financial crisis he next touched upon the vexed question of Parliamentary Reform, and created some amusement by declaring that he did not consider it a difficulty in the way of the Government. His general views on this point (for he naturally avoided pledges) were similar to those to which Lord DERBY gave utterance on Monday evening. Mr. DISRAELI humorously referred to the resuscitation of his bill of 1859 which had -been going on this session in the House, and to the numerous concessions to the ranks of its supporters seven years after date. In matters of domestic legislation he pledged the Government to deal:without:any delay with the questions of Poor Law and Bankruptcy Reform , pro mises which called forth the warm encomiums of his hearers. The author of "Sybil" may fairly be trusted to sympathise with the suffering poor, al though no revelations of the horrors of the mine and'the workshop could equal the pictures of some of our " infirm wards." Altogether Mr. DISnAELI'S address was temperate, enlightened, and statesman like, and entirely avoiding the strifes of party or the manoeuvres of political strategy, t o addressed his hearers in a straightforward and patriotic spirit, which will gain the approval of a wider audience than his local supporters and constituents. There is still no particular news concerning the progress of events in Germany, but all parties seem uncertain how to act. The prospects of Austria are indeed bad, but we do not yet despair of some check being put upon the pretensions of Prussia. • Now that Power has so speedily achieve 1 such great victories some seem to suppose that she has a right to monopolise an immense territory, and to appro priate to herself the rule in Germany, bud in reality sr ME SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN there is no more reason now than before . why she should take what does not belong to her by right, It will be a most mistaken policy for the Powers of Europe to adopt to permit Prussia to take the lead, as she seems likely to do, and if they think by so doing to avert the horrors of war, and to patch up a peace, they will find themselves most grievously mistaken. An error of this kind was committed ten years ago in the Schleswig-Holstein affair ; and the consequences, this time, will be more serious, as they extend in a further direction, and involve more important interests. Besides, who shall say when or where Prussia will stop on her mad career. Last year, most probably, we should have said that if Austria yielded the Duchies up to her without stint or reservation, she would be satisfied; but now we see how far short we should have come of the mark. If we now declare that all Northern Germany would content her, very likely next year she would demand some part of the Austrian do minions for some purpose or other. The Emperor of the FRENCH is not likely to depart from his course so widely as is imagined by those who think armed mediation unlikely. No doubt he is greatly averse to war, and would greatly prefer any other mode of settling the difficulties, but he is not so short sighted as to overlook the consequences of the success of the places sketched out by Prus sia. It will be wiser to look the future boldly in the face, and not to think that the policy of Prussia will be different to what it has hitherto been. It will be one thing now to inter fere before Prussia has got a firm hold of the pos sessions she now craves for, and quite another to drive her from them if she is found troublesome. Besides she will have acquired a sort of claim by being allowed to make a peace with Austria on such terms. The Germans are so fickle that there is no knowing what they will do in the event of war. They are very likely to side with the victor of the moment, and thus no dependence can be placed upon them. At the outset of the war nearly all Germany was against Prussia, and sworn.foes to the project of domination, but now we shall very likely find that they will enter into the views of the winning party. They will soon repent their bargain, it is true, but a foreign power can gain no possible ad vantage from their discontent. If Austria be now put out of the Germanic Confederation there will be no check upon the machinations and manoeuvres of Prussia, and we shall in a few years' time find our selves involved in a general European war. It is too much the fashion with the politicians of the present day to tide over events, and to allow things to take their course. We have a notable instance of the error of such a course in the war now raging in Germany. We heard a high authority the other night, that of Earl RUSSELL, that these hostilities have arisen entirely out of the SchlesWig- Holstein question. Those who protested against the latitude then permitted to the two great Ger man Powers were met by strenuous assertions as to the expediency of peace at any price. And how long has this peace, so dearly purchased, lasted? Scarcely two years have gone by since the good faith of nations, and the honour our forefathers called their dearest possession, were sacrificed to pacify the claims of usurpers, and to : content the lovers of non-intervention, and we find a furious contest raging which will long live in the history of Ger many as a sad household wrong, and a record of the horrors of war to thriving cities and flourishing States. Of course it is quite out of the question that England should interfere ; we are too deeply compromised in the case. But France has no check to retard her progress, and if the Emperor NA POLEON be wary he will not let things, alone, as he did in the case of Denmark. We have yet to see what his decision will be. lle spoke so sternly at the outset of the war as to his desire for the maintenance of peace in France that he will not _ readily depart from his previous plan ; but circum stances must arise in any war that materially changes the necessity for action. had Austria succeeded in maintaining her position, or had the combatants been equally successful, France might well have remained a looker on ; but now it is far otherwise, and if she re main inactive the map of Europe will be so re modelled that it will seem to have been transformed by the touch of a fairy wand. It is to the results that we must look in passing our judgment upon a great change in the political situation of nations ; and if the present tactics of Prussia succeed, all we can say is, that the balance of power in Europe will not be equally divided, and that we should be per mitting a most dangerous intruder to come in, who may not be willing to listen to right or reason. It is true that Prussia was allowed to sacrifice Denmark, and, according to the same reasoning, she may be permitted to sacrifice Austria ; but two wrongs do not make one right, and who can say which is to be the next victim to this mo iern Gorgon. It is impossible to overrate the in juries that will accrue to France if the war, now again to be renewed, results in the complete dis comfiture of Austria, and she is compelled to sign the treaties dictated to her at the cannon's mouth. A timoly, interfrence now may prevent the perpetua tion of the worst evils ; and although Prussia will of course reap substantial benefit from the successes she has gained she may be compelled to act in accordam.e brinciples of moderation and the rules of reason. It has not been the pott—j of LOUIS NAPOLEON to hold back when the decisive moment for action has arrived, and he will entirely have altered his mode of procedure if he allows so large a Power as that of Prussia to become the rival of France for want of the exercise of that de cision he so well knows how to employ. . The arrival of the China from Boston and Halifax on the sth brings us news of some interest and im portance. The House of Representatives has shown its good sense by rejecting the resolution in favour of according belligerent rights to the Fenians. Certainly nothing could have been more ridiculous than such a proposal, which besides being a direct insult to England, and an open affront to the PRE SIDENT, would not even have the dignity of being really mischievous. Mr. SUMNER himself could hardly consider the Hibernian heroes to be very for midable foes. The Democratic and Conservative members of Congress have issued a call for a national Convention to be held atPhiladelphia on the 14th of August, to determine the course to be taken to secure the complete and immediate restoration of the Union. It is to be hoped that a powerful and united expression of national feeling will be evoked on this occasion. It is more than time that the injustice of excluding the Southern representa tives from the popular assembly was removed, and it cannot be supposed that the country will much longer tolerate the unnecessary and humiliating division. The Southern Governments appear to be acting on the whole fairly . enough ; and as time goes on, and the prejudices of the people are suffered to die out, they will no doubt be ready to acquiesce in every improvement. The North Carolina Legislature has just shown a sign of increased toleration towards the negro by rescinding the act which excluded negro testimony from the courts in cases which affected their inte rests. This is a step in advance, and we hope every other Southern State will follow the example of North Carolina. It is unsatisfactory to learn that the freedmen in the neighbouring State of South Carolina have been very disorderly. Colonel SCOTT, who commands the forces in that State, reports a great increase of crime and vagrancy, and states that they show complete disregard for their labour contracts. This is very much to be regretted, if it is true, and it shows how mischievous in its effect on all classes is the present unsettled and transitory state of affairs. The North is legislating for the South, without knowing the working of its laws. The. South has no means of explaining to Congress the relative positions of employers and employed for the practical difficulties of• the change in their social condition. The Freedmen's Bureau has also its share in the mischief by encouraging the negroes in idleness, and giving them the impression that they are superior to the laws. A report had reached New York, on the 3rd, of the capitulation of Matamoras on the 23d ult. According to this rumour the Imperial troops had embarked for Vera Cruz and Escobedo, while 3,000 men had occupied Matamoras. There is a proba bility of the truth of this :report, seeing that it re mained uncontradicted two days later, and it was added that the Republicans were pre paring to attack Tampico. The latter state ment informs us that yellow fever was raging at Vera Cruz, so that it was an unfortunate destination for the Imperial troops. France has enough to occupy her attention in Europe just now, so that the Mexican EMBPROR will have to stand or fall alone, for he certainly will look in vain for help from his Imperial brother. The Mexicans may very safely be left to settle their own affairs without any extraneous aid, though it is natural that the United States should feel a great interest in the process. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The deductions drawn by the Moniteur from the telegrams and private letters are chiefly confirma tory of the facts I mentioned yesterday. All the fresh information is that the head-quarters of the King of Prussia are still at Zwitt in Moravia, and that the invading army will continue it march 'directly upon Brunn and Vienna. An engagement has taken place between the advancing army and the Austrian posts. In Bavaria there have been obstinate struggles for two days between the troops of General von Folkenstein and those of Prince Charles. It is the valley of Franconian Saale which is the scene of this struggle, concentrated princi pally around Kissingen. This town, in peaceful times, is thronged with visitors, who take the waters for the benefit of their health. Now, alas ! it is the scene of carnage and desolation. The Saale is the northern confluent of the Maine. The Bavarians appear to have displayed great energy and solidity, but after alternations of success and defeat, they were compelled to abandon the territory to their adversaries. Prince Alexander of Hesse continues to make preparations of defence around Frankfort, and this commercial town is likely soon to become the tleatre of military exploits. An attack from the Prussians is constantly expected, but it may be delayed from obstacles thrown in the way of General Falkenstein on his march. The Italian fleet, which a few days ago was at Ancona, has put to sea, but nothing has yet been hoard of its operations, which appear to have the object of supporting in the Adriatic the army of Cialdini on the Po. The Italians have an immense army ready to enter Venetia, but the military dis positions of Austria in regard to this province are not yet known. The wound of Prince Amedee does not excite any uneasiness. The cure proceeds satiz factorily Ke has received various demonstrations of public sympathy. It is feared that General Durando will have to undergo amputation. The "situation" is described by most of the Paris papers as anything but pacific. For instance, the Acenir National says:— "The situation of affairs becomes complicated. The acceptance of the mediation without an ar mistice is only a vain form. The Italians are acting in Venetia, the Prussians march upon Vienna. All this does not betoken a speedy peace. Then the mission of Prince Napoleon Jerome to Italy is definitively abandoned. Another warlike indicatiOn is that the ironclad frigate La Provence and the corvette Eclaireur have left T ou l on f or Venice. Prague is occupied by the Prussians. They will leave in the city a garrison of 8,000 men. According to the Debut, of Vienna, the head quarters of the Austrians is at Ol mu t z. I n spite of the serious losses which they have sustained the effective of the Austrian army of the north amounts to 200,000 men, and they have also a formidable park of artillery. The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has received a despatch from the Governor of Sene gal, stating that Lieutenant Alage and M. Quin ton, navy surgeon, had arrived at St. Louis in perfect health, and would embark in the first packet on their return to France. It will be re coliected that those two officers left France a few years ago on a voyage of exploration in Central Africa, and that no direct news had been heard from them for several years. Violent thunderstorms continue in different parts of France and Savoy. A day or two ago a farmer at Champagnes (Savoy) was following a cart laden with hay, driven by two of his servants. He car ried his pitchfork over his shoulder, and the prongs attracted the lightning, and struck him dead in stantly. The servants were not aware of the fata occurrence at the time, and they thought he was lying down to rest, the day being exceedingly sul try. A woman, however, who was passing by soon perceived the corpse of terw ar , and gave the alarm. There was no mark of injury except a tumour upon the forehead caused by the violence of the fall on the ground. One of the farmer's shoes was torn in half. The other was detached from his foot, and was found at a few paces distance. A new feature in the journalism of Paris is that neither the morning nor the evening Moniteur now has a stamp. How this is managed I cannot ex actly say, but the other papers are by no means pleased with the partial exemption. Count de Beust, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Saxony, has arrived in Paris, and has had a long in terview with the Emperor. Kossuth, the former Governor of Hungary, has issued a very long address, which has been exten sively circulated throughout that country. It was issued prior to the cession of Venetia, but that fact does not at all modify the great principle which it is intended to enforce. Kossuth calls upon his countrymen to tak e a d vantage o f pres ent complica tions, to break the bonds definitively which attract Hungary to Austria. It is altogether a violent and democratic document, in full conformity with the well-known views of the General. There are women among the Garibaldian volun teers. A girl of 17 enrolled herself at Como, under the name of Antonio Dethore. She wears the Garibaldian unifOrm, and is treated in every respect as the men. She has given proof of her strength and courage in forced marches, and in carrying her musket and cartridge-box. She is under the care of a sergeant, her countryman. Every one re spects her, and is ready to defend her. The Journal des Debate, remarking upon the pre sent position of Austria, says it constitutes the com plete overthrowal of the Germanic Confederation, •xhich was reconstructed in 1815 with the only ob ject of fettering France and the Revolution. The Debats is very favourable to Prussia, and says that she repreients progress, and that Austria would re trograde. A letter from Prague states that this capital of Bohemia was occupied on Sunday last by the Prus sian brigade of Gen. Rosenberg amidst demonstra tions of joy and respect. The General was received with extreme courtesy, and the Prussian troops en tered Prague, maintaining the strictest discipline. The Siecle comments with some severity upon the supposed programme of the defenders of reaction in Italy, which it says includes the restoration of the King of Naples and the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena. Also the restoration to the Pope of the provinces annexed to the kingdom of Italy. I should add that, although I read all the papers with some attention, I have not seen any mention of such insensate and impossible projects. The heat has increased each day for the last three days. To-day it has been so excessive as almost to suspend the faculties. It seems to have had its in fluence at the Bourse, for in spite of the Ilioniteur, and adverse ru.nours on the other hand, the real business done was limited. The National Rifle Association. ............... .....;,••................_,_.. Friday is generally considered one of the most important days that occurs during the meeting, inasmuch as it is the closing day of the contest for the Queen's Prize in the first stage, when from amongst the 2, 000 and upwards of compe titors are to be selected those who receive im mediate prizes, and a further selection is made of the GO only whiz are allowed to become the compe titors in the second stage, and from whom the ulti mate winner of the Queen's Prize is to be obtained. The first or preliminary stage admits within its pale ail who choose to offer, of course having duly quali fied themselves in the corps or battalion to which they belong ; but it is only those who by the excel lence of their marking have distinguished themselves above their fellows who are allowed to join the ranks of the best marksmen which the kingdom can pro duce. Of course, out of so large an aggregate number of entries disappointment must follow many hopeful aspirations, while, on the other hand, there is no doubt that others unknown to fame are brought forward and placed in a proper position, which they could never have attained but through the instru mentality of this Association. As an illustration of this may be mentioned the case of Private Shar man, of the 4th Yorkshire, who in the most tifiex pected and unostentatious manner carried oft the Queen's Prize with all the honours belonging thereto. The contest this year has no doubt placed unknown men high in the scale of merit, but it was generally believed that the chief prize of the first stage would; fall to one of the Queen's Westminster's as Mr. James, of that corps, had made 48 points. These are, however, but doubtful surmises until the whole have gone through their shooting, as often a man almost at the last moment makes a brilliant score and eclipses all that has been before. A strange example of this kind occurred two years ago, when Col. Halford had made such a good yore in the se cond stage for the Queen's Prize that he was con gratulated by his friends as the winner. .A squad stationed at a distant part of the common, and one hardly noticed by the generality of the visitors and others, was continuing its shooting at the 1,000 yards, and as the result showed that unconsidered group contained the real winner of the Queen's Prize. Sounds and shouts of triumph were heard in the distance, and shortly afterwards Sergeant Wyatt, of the London Rifie Brigade, was borne on the shoulders of his comrades as the winner, he having beaten Lieut.. Colonel Raiford by one point. Sir W. Martin's Prize was a new competition en tered upon yesterday, being a challenge cup value £5O, with £5O in specie added, but restricted to those who'have distinguished themselves as marks men of the first class in their respective regiments ; the competitors to shoot even shots each at 600 yards. The conditions were that the cup should be held by the best shot for the year, and also receiv ing £lO ; the two next best shots, £5 each ; and the 10 next best shots, £3 each. There were upwards of 1,000 competitors for this prize. The contests for the following prizes were also continued :—The Daily Telegraph, Albert (500 yards), Enfield Asso ciation Cup, Extra Prizes, Alexandra, Pool, Run ning Deer; and Running Man. —The second competition, by military breech loaders at 200 and 500 yards was commenced yes terday, any breech loader to be used. The rifles were supplied by Mr. Westley Richards, Mr. Dawe, Mr. Kerr, and Mr. Henry, and there was a most extraordinary rifle on the ground of American con struction. This strange instrument is loaded at the bottom of the stock, and from a dozen cartridges can be inserted. These, by a spring, are forced up into the barrel, and as one cartridge is discharged, another is raised up into its place. As these car tridges contain their own ignition, almost a conti nuous fire can be kept up. For the breech load ing contest four series of prizes of £25 each are given. There are two or three other prizes, and one of £25 given by Mr. Westley Richards. Three minutes to be allowed to each competitor, who was at liberty to fire in any position, and the greatest number of shots made in that time would give the winner of the chief prize. The rest of the prizes to be given according to the order of merit. The Prince of Wales arrived at the Common at a quarter before three o'clock, and was received by Earl Spencer, Lord Elcho, and other members of the council. He accompanied Lord Elcho to the Cottage, where he remained for about an hour and a half, and partook of refreshments. His Royal Highness then went, accompanied by Earl Spencer, to the firing point at the Swiss target at butt F, and the Prince said he wished to see some good shooting, and requested Captain Horatio Ross and Private Edward Miss to fire two or three shots. Captain Ross accordingly fired at 800 yards and made a bull's-eye. Mr. Edward Ross then came forward and made two cartons, that is, hitting a small space four inches square in the mid dle of an 8-inch bull's-eye, and his third shot was a bull's-eye. The Prince of Wales then asked Capt. Ross to lend him his Whitworth rifle, and he fired at the same range and made a centre. The Prince of Wales afterwards went to the pool shooting for the running deer, at which he tried his hand. He made a centre, two outers, and then he struck the deer in the haunch. By the regulations of the As sociation, any one hitting the deer in the haunch renders himself liable to a fine of ls., and this sum the Prince cheerfully paid. He then made another shot and finished up with a bull's-eye. Lord Elcho held his hat to the Prince for the fine, and this was received by the crowd with shouts of laughter. His Royal Highness then visited the competitors for the running prizes, and complimented Mr. Peterkin, late of Cambridge University Corps, and Private Lilly, of the London Scottish, on the skill they had displayed and the high scores they had made, expressing his opinion that this competition was very hard work. The Prince did not leave the ground until ten minutes to 7 o'clock, and on his departure he was loudly cheered by the volunteers. It was subsequently ascertained that Private Newlyn, of the Ist Hereford, had made three scores of 19, 16, and 13, making a total of 48, fox the Queen's Prize in th e fi rs t stage ; while Private James, of the Queen's Westminster, made a simi lar total score, consisting of 16, 15, and 17, but as it is a regulation of the National Rifle Associa tion that those who make the largest number of hits in the last range shall have the preference, it does away with the shooting off of ties. Con sequently Mr. James takes the silver medal of the Association, £5O, the National Rifle Asso ciation silver badge, and a match rifle, value £2O. Those who will receive the other prizes will be found enumerated in the official return. THE I\j%YOR OF HULL AND THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. __The Eastern Counties herald publishes the following announcement :—" On Saturday last the Mayor (Alderman H. J. Atkinson) left Hull for St. Peters burgh, r board the steamer Lion. The mayor's chain and robes were put on board, and in these his worship will be arrayed when presented to the Russian Emperor, for the purpose of submitting to his Majesty the address of con gratulation passed by the Hull Town Council and the Chamber of Commerce on his recent escape from assassina tion." REQUIE3I FOR SOLDIERS KILLED IN THE WAR.— Yesterday morning a solemn requiem mass was sung in the Roman Catholic Church, Farm-street, Berkeley square, "for the repose of the souls of the Austrian soldiers who fell in the late battles in Bohemia and in Italy." The beautiful chapel was draped in black, and presented a very striking and solemn appearance. The Rev. Peter Gallwey officiated as high priest, assisted by the Rev. A. J. Christie as deacon, and the Rev. F. Hathaway as sub-deacon. The music was Cherubini's grand requiem, which was com posed for the funeral of the Dec de Berri. The service was deeply solemn and impressive, and was attended by a large number of distinguished members of the Catholic communion. WIIO'S YOUR DOCTOR ?-310RISOITS PILLS NG, JULY 14, 1866, L A TEST INTEL LIGENGE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE. PARIS, July 14. " Public The illoniteur of this morning says : opinion is impatient to learn the course of the nego• ciations for the armistice. The demand which exists everywhere for news, forces, so to speak, the jour nals to manufacture intelligence. We must call attention to the fact that mediation has only been proposed since nine days. Negociations cannot take place solely by telegraph, and three days and three nights are required by a courier between Paris and the Prussian head-quarters. " What we can say is, that negotiations are pro gressing, and that the best relations have not ceased to exist between the Emperor Napoleon and the King of Prussia." RUSSIAN MILITARY PRiPARATIONS. LEMBERG, July 13, Evening. _ The Gazetta Navodowa of this town announces that all soldiers on furlough in Russia have been called in and says—" Every day military trains start from Warsaw to the frontier of Silesia and Galicia. Russian' troops are marching from Podolia to Bessarabia." RUSSIA AND THE WAR IN EUROPE. Moscow, July 13, Evening. The Moscow Gazette of t4 -day publishes an article which concludes as follows :—Russia does not desire any change in the present state of things in Europe. If Austria and Prussia will render themselves the tools of France, Russia can no longer depend upon them as heretofore. Venetia without Rome would constitute no progress for Italy. The submission of Austria to France is not advantageous but dangerous to the European equilibrium. The supremacy of Prussia in Northern Germany narrows Russia in the Baltic. Russia's love for peace does not sanction efforts to attain supreme power. England's interest may make her seek an alliance with France and Austria in the E as t ern question, but the dictatorship of France i n I taly and Germany cannot meet with her support. THE POLICY OF PRUSSIA. BERLIN July 12. The following is the full text of the,kfficial state ment as to the policy of Prussia in undertaking the war, a summary of which has been telegraphed : " To clear up the mistakes promulgated by the press in judging the present political situation, and to remove the uncertainty and disquiet thereby ex cited in the public mind, we (the official Staatsan zeiger) are empowered to makeithe following de claration : " The treaty obligations ems' g between Prussia and Italy render it impossible to conclude an armis tice or a peace with Austria i without the mutual consent of both States. These obligations could not but prevent Italy from acceding to the one sided desire of Austria for peace, expressed solely for that purpose, by the acceptance of Venetia as a gift, and - from terminating the Italian participation in the war. " Europe knows that no sordid desire of conquest is the motive of Prussia in the great contest into which she has been forced •by Austria and her Fe deral allies. What Prussia wishes to conquer sub serves the highest national aims, regards the noblest national possessions. We demand for ourselves only guarantees for the territorial security of our future. But for Germany we require the establishment of political unity, at least among the majority of Ger man races and States, to put an end to the unworthy condition of affairs within her boundaries which has so long depressed and humiliated the reputation and power of the nation. " In the fulfilment of this national mission the majority of patriotic German princes are upon the side of Prussia. Our people, however, sacrifice blood and treasure for this lofty task, and our sons in the army, under the leadership of their royal master, are inspired by the sacredness of the great contest like our fathers in„,1813. " Wherever our troops penetrate into the enemy's country they afford a striking proof how strongly, as bearers of European civilisation, they are imbued with the consciousness that they do not make war upon the peoples, but only against the Govern ments, which- have in vain endeavoured to incite their subjects to blind hatred against Prussia. Wherever our flags wave for any period this hatred gives place to nobler feelings towards us. Our armies, however, accompanied by the sympathies of the nation, sustained by the consciousness of their lofty mission, well know how to conquer and to die for its attainment." - SPAIN. MADRID, July 13 (Evening). The Government has prohibited until further orders the sale of newspapers in the public streets. The French steamer Lafayette arrived at Brest on Thursday. She left New York on the 30th June, and brings 201 passengers. FRANCE. BOURSE, July 13.—Two o'clock.—The publica tion this morning of an official Note in the Moniteur warning the journals against the dissemination of false news, and likewise the public against placing any confidence in the imaginary decisions come to at the frequent councils held at the Tuileries, has had an adverse effect upon the market. ' The buoy ancy which was manifested yesterday in consequence of the reported satisfactory progress of the armistice negotiations has thus been succeeded by general weakness and a disinclination to effect transactions —the Note alluded to being regarded as dissipating, to a certain extent, the anticipations entertained of an early and satisfactory arrangement.
