The competent authorities being thus deprived of the power of ex ercising the Sovereign right conferred upon them by their fellow citizens, we, the undersigned citizens, consider ourselves called upon and further regard it as our duty to declare that the annexation of Frank fort to the Prussian monarchy cannot be sanctioned legally, nor advisably by political exigency. In as far as the legal question is concerned, we are referred to the authentic records of the period, and if they enumerate a determined opposition to Prussian re form, and a conflict undertaken for the purpose of destroying such tendency, and even allusions made to the great danger incessantly threatening Prussia, we, at least, will refrain from expressing our opinion how far such accusations regard Hanover, the Elec torate of Hesse, and Nassau, but with regard to Frankfort we affirm they are totally inapplicable. " It is well known that Frankfort was in a posi tion to object to a Prussian plan of reform of the Diet, still less can the right of conquest serve as a pretext, for war never was declared between Frank fort and the Prussian monarchy. This fact is re cognised in a circular which the Prussian Govern ment despatched to the European Cabinets in con sequence of the Diet suspending the Royal Prus sian Telegraph office. Iu this document particular stress is laid on the circumstance of the suspension taking place in a city of peace -with Prussia. The incident to which the official acknowledgment re fers occurred on the 16th of June; the report of the Bth commission in the Prussian Chamber of Deputies on the Ist of September considers, not withstanding the enmity of Frankfort established, because the free city had at a meeting of the Diet held on the 14th of June voted for one proposal of the Austrian Government, " to mobilise the non- Prussian contingents, Prussia having taken the law in her own hands in the Federal State of Holstein." But when voting on the 14th of June, Frankfort expressly declared the Senate would not sanction the motives of the Austrian proposal. On the contrary, in voting for the mobilisation of the non-Prussian cud non-Austrian Federal army, Frankfort opposed the chief intention of Austria, and refused to sanction the moving of the Austrian army in the name of the Confederation. At the satnetime it ought not to be forgotten that Frank fort,. being the scat of the Diet,_ continued neutral to a certain extent, while its independence, on the other hand, could not fail to be influenced by its Feteral garrison. And it would be an act of injus tice to render it responsible for every circumstance that took place after the departure of the Royal Prussian troops, and the town was left to the sole occupation of the Federals. " One fact will prove, in an unquestionable man ner, the neutrality of the city of Frankfort—viz., its contingent never being mobilised, and never join ing any corps. It mounted guard peaceably at the gates of the of the town when the Prussians entered. It was simply disbanded, which would not have been Frd] STANFORD SMITU, Segotary. ~~~ %e - E,- • 'OO - (203 1 • At, E° l 1 2 • 1. - ni t /"/- - ns• r A „at _ - ~dF-E2 10 ;t0 - 5 -.6Rorr. - t.. es , —IE t .(73 ;"' • the case had there been war. " In the official documents is also stated that the opposition and enmity of the annexed countries prove their co-operation is not to be relied on in furthering the national interest and just wishes of the German people: Such an 'un-called for reproach addressed to Frankfort wounds its citizens painfully. The past history of Frankfort and its geographical position show that from time immemorial it has been the centre of German life and ---~ - civilisation, and it has always aspired to prove itself worthy of its high mission. No event of importance, whether social or political, ever took place in any part of Germany without finding a corresponding echo in Frankfort, and here it cannot be irrelevant to our purpose to recall the memorable period when Germany assumedthe right to exist, breathe, and unite, and offered the Impe rial crown to King Frederick William IV., Frank fort, in its patriotic zeal going even so far as to order the effigy of the future Emperor to be en graved on her coin. Nor ought it to be forgotten that at a less distant period the Prussian Govern ment raised objections to the loud and unrestrained complaints—the now acknowledged national claims —which were given vent to on the soil of frankfort; and, lastly, we refer to the prompt and energetic support which is afforded to the commercial interests of Germany, represented by Prussia, last year espe cially, by her example in maintaining the reconsti tution of the threatened Zollverein—an instance bearing testimony to the invalidity of the charges advanced in .the official documents, and totally in applicable to the free city. On the contrary, they clearly prove the non-existence of any legal ground for the annexation of Frankfort. " Closely connected with this point is thequestion whether any political urgency dictates or excuses the annexation. " The strong hand of Prussia has undertaken to reconstitute Germany, but its endeavours can only be crowned with success when a complete reconci liation has taken place between Northern and Southern Germany. For this purpose neutral ground between their respective limits can hardly be spared, and should Frankfort be reduced to the state of a Prussian provincial town she will no longer possess the power to exert her mediation in concili ating paramount antipathies, whereas, as a free and independent city, whose integrity has been respected, the sympathy of Frankfort would be acquired to Prussia, and would increase in proportion to the conservation of the venerable institutions of her freedom, for which she would be indebted to a sense of justice, and must consequently become the sacred focus to propagate the success of our national aspira tions. " The maintenance of Frankfort is in itself a matter of no signification, but she was, and will be, prepared at all times to sacrifice her independence without a murmur when the unity of Germany is accomplished ; but so long as disunion exists the in dependence of Frankfort is important, it has an his torical vocation which far exceeds its own importance, and it would answer the purpose of Prussia to pre vent by annexation the fulfilment of her mission. " Remarkable are the words of the historian Heeren, uttered with prophetic foresight and as a warning half a century since :--‘ Four small jewels glisten in the Federal chain ; they are the four free cities which may not be eclipsed by the brilliancy of larger ones. For it must be universally acknowledged how bene ficially the combination influenced commercial and political interests, the latter deriving importance from the multiplicity of political constitutions, not from theoretical classifications on paper. Despotism strives to attain uniformity, and would establish from the banks of the Tagus to those of the Niemen nothing but departments with prefects and mayors. It would resemble the Roman empire, and terminate in the sunset of all political progress, and crush civilisation.' " With such conviction, we feel proud in affirm ing, under existing circumstances, the population of Frankfort, with unexampled unanimity, ardently desire to retain their independence. Till the last moment we shall entertain this hope, and transmit from generation to generation the memory of an era of liberty and independence, where our social organisation is based on the love of all as the surest and best foundation. And we shall cling to our an cient right, our ancient faith, our ancient love with sentiments of unalterable fidelity.

Notwithstanding the heavy work of Thursday and that few of them retired to bed before the small hours after midniklit, all the Volunteers were up and stir ring yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, when, hy a salvo of 21 guns, the artillery of the Garde Civique an nounced to all Brusselsthat the fetes of independence for 1866 were about to commence. The morning was foggy and damp, but that did not keep people in doors, nor did it induce Colonel Loyd Lindsay to countermand his order for a general parade at 9 o'clock. 'The Volunteers have found out already that their commander really commands, and that when he says a thing he means it in its literal sense. Accord ingly, his nn were at their post in the great square of the Museum to receive him when he appeared with his Staff. An immense crowd of people assem bled round the Volunteers. Before the commander had been very long on the ground all his force was divided into companies. It had been arranged that each company was to have its particular colours. To give effect to this arrangement the company ser geant was handed a small silk flag, composed of mixed hues, and each man of the company received a rosette of the same shades, which he at once at tached folis breast. From that moment there was no confusion, though in many cases the privates who stood shoulder to shoulder had nefer seen each other before that morning, and though men found them selves underihe command of officers whose existence theyhadpreviously been unacquainted with. Col. Loyd Lindsay, on accepting his temporary post at a very short notice, resolved to appoint officers to com mands in the order of their seniority, and he endea voured to carry out this principle in every instance. however, as he was obliged to name his captains, adjutants, and subalterns within a few days, cases have occurred in which, unintentionally, the rule of seniority was violated. But once having made an appointment he declined to cancel it, believing that if he did so very mischievous confusion would be the result. It is, perhaps, too soon yet to say that his commandership is a complete suc cess ; but, remembering the scattered manner in which applications to attend the fetes came in from volunteers in all parts of the country, that for three days the men themselves had been arriv ing in scattered groups, and that the main body did not reach here for three hours after the time when the Belgian authorities requested the gallant colonel to have them all in marching order, it cer tainly is not a little surprising that they marched through the town in the soldier-like manner they did on Thursday night, and that yesterday morning their movements on parade and on the route to the Tir drew forth the loudst commendations from mili tary men as well as from civilians. When all the companies had their flags and rosettes and were got well into hand, the colonel marched them past his head-quarters and by the King's palace. Arrived at the large building which at the other end of the park faces the Rue Royale, the Volunteers turned round and came down again to the Hotel de Bellevue, whence, headed by the band of the Chasseurs-eclaireurs, they proceeded to the Tir, the boulevards, streets, and roads on the way being lined with spectators. It had been appre hended that the mixture of various uniforms in the one company'would give the whole body a very hete rogeneous appearance, but this was not so. However it was managed, the various uniforms were combined with judgment, and in many cases to advantage, over the more regular arrangement. The Belgians were enthusiastic in their admiration of the Volunteers, and no Englishman who saw them march to the Tir need have felt ashamed of them. They mustered fully 1,000, and were composed of all branches of the Volunteer force—cavalry, artillery, and infantry. Ireland and Scotland were both represented—the former by several members of the Royal Irish ; the latter by many men of Scotch corps and the London Scottish, whose kilts seemed to astonish the Bruxel lois not a little. Arrived at the Tir, where they found the French riflemen already assembled, Colonel Loyd Lindsay, Lord Bury, and the Volun teers were received by Lieutenant-General Plen tinck, Commandant Snperieur of the Garde Civique, M. Dailly, President de la Commission du Tir International, and the other members of that body. The Commandant and M. Dailly having addressed some words of welcome to the foreign riflemen, Colonel Loyd Lindsay returned thanks on behalf of the English Volunteers. In the afternoon and evening our riflemen dis- pers ed themselves over the city, looking at the sights. Such is the anxiety of their Belgian companions in arms to do them honour and make them the objects of their hospitality that one rifleman linked by either arm to a couple of the Garde Civique is a sight to be seen at all hours in every street. Au anxious crowd surrounds each of the hotels in which the Volunteers are putting up, so that our National Guards have " thrust upon them" a greatness which they never expected to arrive at. On Friday even ing the Commander and Etat Major of the Garde Civique entertained at dinner the French Chef de Bataillon and two of his officers ; Major Meder and two Dutch officers ; Lieut.-Colonel Loyd Lindsay, Lord Bury, Sir Paul Hunter, and Lieut. Farley, the entertainment being one of the best which Brussels could provide. The healthe, of the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Emperor of the French, the Queen of Great Britain, and the King of Holland were duly honoured on the occasion. London: F.

Address—The Manager 'Sun" Printing Offices, 3, Church `row, Savoy, Strand, W.C. The Incorporation of Frankfort. The following has been published as the text of the address pronounced by Herr von Patow, the Prussian Civil Governor, in the Roemer llall, upon the occasion of the solemn publication of the decree for formally taking possession of Frankfort : "In the name of his Majesty the King, I declare to you that, in consequence of the sovereign decree which has just been published, the union of the for mer free city of Frankfort and its territory to the Prussian Monarchy is accomplished de jure et de facto. I request the burgomasters, the senators, the authorities and officials and their assistants in gene ral, to remain in the exercise of their functions ac cording to the laws and ordinances now in force, should their convictions not lead them to oppose the changes that have been effected. The moment when this change is being effected must be for you, mem bers of the Senate and Council, for you all, free citizens of Frankfort, a moment of great interest ; but it is also a remarkable one to the foreign guests in your town, for all Germany, and for every friend of German history. Before us are the portraits of the Emperors of Germany during a period of more than 1,000 years ; from this balcony were pro claimed, before an erected people, the elections, often so vastly important to the history of Germany, for the history of the world. The streets of Frank fort, the antique residences of its citizens with their singular forms, their magnificent proportions, its temples, its schools, its artistic and scientific esta blishments, its commemorative statues, all recall to us a glorious past, a long series of centuries of hap piness for the internal life of the commune. " But, gentlemen, it is not sentiments, it is not reminiscences which decide the history of the world. History unceasingly strides onward ; new times and new exigencies appear. The old pictures must give " You all, gentlemen—you place to new ones. all hitherto free citizens of Frankfort, have lost your independence. This is, I acknowledge, a loss the importance of which cannot be too highly estimated. But many compensations have been reserved for you in ex change for that sacrifice. You have now a father land, in the highest sense of the word--a fatherland such as you never yet possessed, nor could have pos sessed. You now enter a kingdom which on solemn occasions, and again quite recently, has afforded a proof by its organisation and its admirable govern ment, its brave army, and its people in arms, that it can stand erect and protect and defend the rights of its inhabitants at all times and against all comers. In future you will occupy your place in history—you will take part in history. You have now become mem bers of a State which has understood that new times have come, which has known how to attain the object of its efforts with a firm but gracious hand, which has been the first to lay down the bases of national progress, of liberty of person and property, of liberty of domicile, industry, and trade. You are now become citizens of a State which was the first to propose and bring about a Customs' union, and a unity of currency and postal and telegraphic arrangements, and to prepare in every way for the establishment of German unity. You are now become citizens of a State in-which religion and edu cation, the arts and sciences, trade and manufactures have day by day enjoyed a more effectual protec tion, in which justice has known how to conquer a grand reputation for integrity, in which a well-or dered administration unites ability with leniency. " Prussia can offer you all this, and she owes it to her long line of great and glorious Princes, such as no other country can boast. " And you, also, gentlemen —you, also, citizens of this town, you will find a firm protection and a firm support in a King who directs the destinies of a great kingdom with justice and wisdom, with power and leniency. s Majesty has acquai n t e d you, in warm and cordial with ng and with what he wishes to be towards you. Take, then, frankly the hand which is extended to you ; be towards his - Majesty what you ought to be. And now, new Prussians, utter for the first time the cry so dear to the hearts of the old Prussian patriots, God save, God bless the King and repeat with me ' Long live his Majesty William, King of Prussia!'" The following protest has been issi ed. by the citizens of Frankfort : " The constitutional authorities of Frankfort were INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT• The Telegraph, referring to the paper sent by Mr. Anthony Trollope to the Social Science Con gress, says if America is anxious to build up a native literature, she would do well to remember her literary workmen more highly than has been her wont ; but, in order to give them an adequate return for their services, she must protect their in terests in England, and hence she must also protect the interest of British authors within her own boundaries. Such an expedient, one is told, is rank protectionism. - If literature cannot flourish without artificial support, it must be content not to flourish at all. That argument goes to the root of the ,sub ject, and the Telegraph answers it by a point-blank denial of the statement on which it rests.

(From the Anglo-American Times.) The Times, in its review of Tenny's " History of the Rebellion iu the United States," does scant jus- tice to the leading Northern generals. In estimat- ing a triumph the difficulties overcome should be fairly weighed in awarding the need of praise. It is a very small affair for a European army to defeat an Asiatic army, although it might task a general's powers to the utmost to penetrate into an Asiatic country, and to utilise his victory when gained. The difficulties of warlike operations in America are not to be estimated by a European standard. The magnitude of the country, a vast proportion lying still in a state of nature, renders offensive opera tions embracing the whole area peculiarly difficult. The Northern generals were met at the outset by a task of which a glance at our review of Mr. JAY'S address to the Union League Club of New York will give some idea. The South had been long preparing for the contest, and so skilfully had the arrange ments been made by the able men who planned them that they embraced not only a formidable organisa tion to the Seceded States, but the disorganisation • of the Northern. The position, when the war com menced, is summed up in one sentence—" The Treasury empty, forts, arsenals, navy-yards surren dered ; arms and munitions stolen and dispersed ; the little navy scattered and disabled ; the army officers in part demoralised ; and treachery lurking in every department of the Government." This was the , base on which the North commenced its gigantic conflict ; and, as might easily have been foreseen, it opened in disaster. Given, the whole position as we now know it, and the result might have then been worked out to what actually hap pened. In estimating the qua'.ities o . f the con tending generals the obstacles each side had to overcome should be fairly stated. The armies of both Confederacies were volunteer forces. The object of the one was defensive, that of the other offensive. For defence volunteers acting on their own soil are almost as good as regular troops. For invasion, where every man's hand is against the invader, the highest training is necessary. The South then commenced with a twofold - advantage. It had appropriated to itself all the resources of the Government, and it was defending its territory against an invading foe, from whom it had pre viously extracted all its military appliances. Act- ing in the interior of a wide circle, it was enabled to throw back its more numerous opponents by massing on any point threatened an overwhelming This was always the secret of Southern success, and it was always the great danger of Northern attack. The generals who had to plan and carry out the offensive operations acted under every disadvantage. LzE was no doubt a commander of the highest aLility, but he orce. never succeeded, not for a moment; in the invasion of a Northern State. Twice he pene 7 trated through Maryland, even into Pennsylvania, each time to be hurled back with the greatest disaster—and both operations were signal mistakes.: GRANT was never defeated in his objects, and GRANT'S objects were always offensive. He had before him the most difficult country to traverse, a series of strong positions to take, an army of born soldiers to defeat, commanded by a general of re- splendent talents. These, it will be allowed, were no ordinary difficulties, and to him, therefore, in all justice, must be given the first place among the military commanders of the age. Nor was this GRANT'S only merit. He planned the whole cam paign, which ended in breaking up the Southern Confederacy as if it had been an egg in his hand. Stonewall Jackson, although a soldier of extraordinary merit, fell before he had attained to the highest command, and cannot, therefore, fairly be brought into comparison. It is one thing to command a division as a subordinate, and an other to carry to a successful close the greatest military operations the world has seen, with the exception of the wars of Napoleon. Personal heroism inspires an undue admiration, and is apt to call forth exaggerated praise. The only true com parison lies between Lee and Grant ; and if suc cess be taken as the criterion of merit, the palm must be awarded to the Northern general. Sheri dan might fairly be compared with Stonewall Jackson, and Sherman was Johnstone'isuperior. To M'Clellan may be due all the praise given by the Times, but he had the misfortune to attain to the chief command, when the difficulties be fore the North were simply insurmountable. The Northern armies had then to be formed, and the Northern Cabinet and people had yet to learn what offensive warfare meant. In Europe the difficulties which met the early commanders in this war are not yet fully understood. Here it was sup posed that the North sent overwhelming forces into the field, which were crushed by the superior. gallantry and generalship of the South. The real fact is, that the South brought the superior force against their foe, against which the N o rth, unprepared, threw itself with tbeg t r a and unavailing gallantry. Taught by greatest defeat, audacitythe nation braced itself up, and ceased se d to strike wild and futile blows. When fairlyera prepared for war both its troops armies and en ls were equal to the best and to oany emergency ; and a comparison of respective merits cannot till then be instituted. Tlie rev i e wer is even more unjust son between FARRAGUT and B t:c HANAN. FARRAGU T'S exploits have rarely been exc elled, seldom i n deed equalled, and he stands in drawing a comparison now, beyond all comparison, at the head of the adm i ra ls of the age. T he re v i ewer has hit on a peculiar word in describing the cruise of the Ala bama. There is nothing "wonderful" in a swift armed steamer capturing and burning defenceless merchantmen. The only wonderful part of her career was its end. For she accepted a challenge of a ship of equal strength, and was crushed like a feeble wasp, without even infli c ti ng a sting. We dare say Captain SEMITES th oug h t it ‘ when he was pulled oat o f th e water by‘ twhoenfriendly hand of an English sailor, and the Captain of the Kearsage with " wonder" saw the signal of surren der go up, and his adversary go down, when under the impression that the combat was but beginning. A tone of p o li t i cal bias runs through the reviewer's comments ;but, making due allowance for the evi dent leaning of the writer, we consider the summary to be tolerably fair.
