THE -WAR.

PARIS RIPE FOR REVOLUTION.

TUESDAY EVENING.
The aspect of affairs here has seriously changed for the
worse during the last few hours. The lack of news from
the army, the helplessness of the Ministry, the increasing
evidence of the incompetence of the- generals, have
maddened the people. On Sunday and yesterday the
cry was for arms. The Parisians thought only of their
country, of the detested invaders, and of the disasters
which had befallen their army. The interval has given them
some hours to reflect on the causes of all this wreck, and
unhappily they have employed the time to no good pur-
pose. To the cry for arms has been joined the cry for
revenge. In spite of all the efforts of the Government
the open display of popular efferescence has increased at
a fearful rate, until the whole city resounds with revolu-
tion, The Marshal in command of the Paris armyissued

a proclamation, declaring that gatherings in the streets

were prohibited. It remains a dead letter. The crowds are
1 greater than any that were visible during the election
riots or even during the enthusiasm of the war. A
mob has surrounded the Chambers during the sitting;
mobs are on the boulevards and in all open places ; and
the troops have already been called out. Collisions be-
tween the military and the people ale becoming frequent.
It is long indeed since Paris looked so much like revolu-
tion. There can be no doubt that gatriotism has once
more given way to recrimination, unity to internal dis-
pute. We had hoped that the French people would have
become one until the invader was driven back,
and that then the punishment of the guilty would
come under consideration. Unhappily, there is every
sign that the reverse is the case. As a paper to-day says,
people forget the cruel reverses, they forget that a for-
midable army is posted on the frontier, they forget that
it may in a few days be encamped under the walls of
Paris ; all their thoughts are turned towards the Corps
Legislatif. Far from meeting the disorders of the nation,
the convocation of the Chambers has aggravated them.
Since the deputies met the political situation has become .
infinitely more grave. It is so serious that the worst may
be apprehended any time.

The Chamber met to-day, and a memorable sitting was

held. The proceedings were opened by M. 011ivier, who
read a statement on the situation. Iftv it was received may
be judged from by the interruptions. The 'words "Napoleon,
by the grace of God " (read by the President in
the decree) elicited derisive cries of " enough " from the
Left. When 011ivier commenced reading he was exhorted
time after time to resign. When he asked the Chamber
to support the Ministry, loud shouts of " No, no !" re-
eooed through the hall. His statement briefly particularised
the of defence the Government were about, to take,
and exhorted the deputies to unity. When he sat down,
M. Latour du Moulin, and nine other members brought
forward a motion that General Trochu should be entrusted
with the formation of a Ministry. It was not considered.
General Dejean, Minister of War pro tern., next got into
the tribune and introduced bills to carry into effect the
measures recently decreed for a levee en masse. The
standing orders were suspended, and great violence
ensued. M. Fevre, amid explosions of page,
proposed that as the Emperor had proved him-
self t o be an incompetent commander-in-chief he
should be recalled to Paris, the citizens armed, and all
power vested in the Chamber. Granier de Cassagnac
stood up, and gesticulating frantically, exclaimed, "If
the Ministry did their duty, you would be tried by court-
martial and shot."

Other rows followed, M. de Keratrybeing called to order
amid frightful uproar for proposing that Napoleon should
be called upon to abdicate. Finally, the sitting, after
being suspended once, wps terminated by an adjournment
to committee. Nobody Aertains a doubt that the 011ivier
Ministry will go.
Outside Whigs were quite as disorderly—though, un-
questionably, the Chamber has set a fine example of
disorder. A great crowd had assembled. The
officers commandidg the troops summoned them to dis-
perse, and immediately bodies of cavalry were ordered
to charge the people. The crowd answered with
loud shouts of "To arms! To arms !" Arrests
were made, and the cavalry continued then to charge.
It is said that more riots are taking place in different
parts of the city. There is also a rumour that the
National Guards refuse to act against the people. Before
these lines are in print you may receive startling news.

King of Prussia, provided he had plenty to eat and drink.
They were going to Spandau, a political prison near
Berlin. On cannon was taken at- Weiaseubung, a six.
pounder ; the carriage in which it was put was labelled
- "Goads for Berlin." All speak in the highest terms of not
only the bravery, but the kindness of the Crown Prince.
The wounded Prussian soldiers said he was just as a com-
mon man amongst them, and to see their faces when that
was said would thoroughly have gladdened the heart of
our own Princess Royal. They all acknowledged that :the
gun of the Bavarian troops was better than the Prussian
needle-gun ; that not only did it fire farther, but twenty
shots a minute. I was speaking to the Inspector-General
of Hospitals in Berlin, who is now here. He says the
Chaswpot makes frightful wounds ; the bullet is larger,
and it jumps. He saw an officer who was wounded in the
wrist, and the bullet jumped on three places on his arm,
THE DANGER OF A GENERAL WAR.-A. corres-
pondent of the Times, who writes with much apparent
authority from. Vienna, gives the following highly im-
portant intelligence The first danger of a general con-
flagration has passed. It was not without great trouble
that it was averted, for"the French moved heaven and
earth to drag us in as well as Italy. As Cadore in Bavaria,
so Malaret in Italy and Gramont here had talked them-
selves and their Government into the belief that France
had but to give the signal and all would rush to the rescue.
Beust, who I suspect had been fencing all along, tried to
parry the attack made upon him with his old diplomatic
tricks ; the French, who had left here a nervous and ex-
citable First Secretary, became more and more press-
ing, and at last went so far as to threaten to make it
up with the Prussians, and make us pay the price of
the bargain. Beust was at his wit's end, for there seemed
a disposition in the military and Court circles to push in
the same direction. Of course there could be no question
of entering into action at once, but Austria could not
remain as unprepared as she is now. "Armed neutra-

lity" was, therefore, the watchword, and everyone knows
what that means. If Austria had armed Russia would
have armed too, and then a pretext was easily found when
the moment for action came. The Emperor was unde-
cided, listening one day to one side and the
next day to the other. In this crisis Andrassy came
to the rescue, and, by his influence on the Emperor,
avoided the struggle. He had all along' held the same
language, which was plain and clear, so that there could
be no mistake. Still the French thought themselves ill-
. _ _

used, and their civilities ill-requited. In Italy it was the
same story as before, the King trying to snake politics on
his own hook, and from the first moment ready to rush in
with the French. The Ministry, knowing the disposition
of the country, which is averse from the very name of
France, resisted as best it could, and the result was a tem-
porary compromise. Italy was to arm, but not to enter
into action. However, the Ministry does not make to

itself illusions. It is only a respite they have gained, and
unless some support is found elsewhere they will have to
give way or to go.

MILITARY LAW.—Two painful incidents have
occurred here lately. On Wednesday, a soldier at work
outside the works, throwing up a breastwork in a potato-
field, being told by the officer on duty to do something he
did. not like, stooped down, picked up half a dozen
potatoes, and pelted his superior. Half an hour after-
wards he was a corpse, a drumhead court-marshal having
sentenced him to be shot instantly in the ditch of the
fortress where he was at work. On Thursday, a soldier in
the train from here to Bingen fired his pistol at an officer,
fortunately without effect. The train was stopped at
once, and military law carried into effect within sight of
the whole train. Of course there is nothing to be said
against these two executions, but it is horrible to think
that a moment's folly may thus hurry a man out of the
world.—Daily News Correspondent at Mayence.
TUE FIRST FIGIITING.—The account of the en-
gagement at Weissenburg, by the Paris correspondent,
differs from most particulais hitherto published. It would
appear, he says, that they (the French), were in consider-
able force, fifteen or twenty thousand strong at the least,
and the troops engaged, belonged to Marshal MacMahon's
command. They took the offensive, and succeeded, after
A fierce struggle, during which both sides displayed the
greatest bravery and steadiness, in forcing the Prussians
to retire towards Bergenberg. This retreat, however,
would appear to have been a feint to draw them forward;
for the Bavarian division, during the Franco-Prussian
contest, had got round the Geisberg,—a mountain close
to Weissenberg,—and suddenly appeared in the
French rear, occupying the town without difficulty,
and pushing back towards the Prussians ; whereby the
French, caught between two fires, suffered very heavily,
and were eventually compelled to:retreat, leaving the
Confederate army in possession of Weissenburg. They
say that the Bavarians fought like tigers, even clubbing
their rifles at close quarters, and dashing their enemies'
brains on the right and left ; the French appeared to be
overwhelmed with astonishment at discovering the Ger-
mans to be such terrible foes. The Prussian wounded
also spi ak in the highest terms of the behaviour of the
French troops throughout the action, and say without
hesitation tnat " although the red breeches had the worst
of it all time, they fought with the utmost steadiness and
determination."

HEALTH OF THE ARMIES ON THE RHINE.
Besides the dreadful death-roll of slain and wounded, we
may soon expect to hear of disease causing ravages in the
ranks of the hostile legions. Dysentery is commonly
prevalent in the Rhine provinces of France and Prussia,
as well as in Belgium, during July and August.
The favourite treatment just now among French
surgeons is bismuth in full d )ses. Ipecacuanha seems to
have failed with the medical men on the borders of the
Rhine. If the war be suddenly concluded intermittent
fever will probably in about a month from this time
be epidemic. It is almost sure to be of a very low
type. Then these fevers will assume a remittent form,
and true camp fever will become established. It
is not improbable that, cases of typhus will
also occur in numbers to cause anxiety, though
other forms of fever will probably be most preva-
lent. We are, of course, presupposing that every hygienic
precaution will be adopted, for neglect of any would be
sure to give rise to proportionate loss. We speak only of
what is to be expected under most favourable circum-
stances. As autumn advances the weather will become a
morn potent element—rheumatic affections and diseases of
the lungs than taking the lead. At present the one ques-
tion is whether the camp will be exposed to heavy rains.
—Medical Press and Circular.

THE FRENCH FLEET.—A Hamburg correspondent
of the Daily News speaks of the passage of the French
fleet into the' Baltic. It consisted of ten sail, large and
small, and they were steering in a southerly direction, so
that it was impossible to surmise what course.they would
take when fairly.out of the Belt, but then they must make
up their minds to one of the three alternatives : an
attack on Sonderburg, an attempt to take Kiel by a
coup de main, or else to proceed up the Baltic and-try
their luck at Stettin, Danzig, or Konigsberg. With re-

_ -
gard to Sonderburg, it has been so strongly fortified since
it fell into the hands of Prussia in the last Danish war
that there is no fear of any danger from a French naval
attack ; and the garrison has been so reinforced by
troops from the south—some of which were the regi-
ments that lately passed through, this city--that the
place swarms with soldiers, as many as seventy and
even eighty being quartered in each house. if the
French go to Kiel they will find similar preparations for
a warm reception; in the first place the entrance to the
harbour is blocked up, so that hostile vessels canuot get
in, and the outer roadstead is well guarded by a series of
strong forts, armed with heavy guns, all along the
heights that crown the approaches from Bellevue to
the fortress of Fredericksort. The only possible danger
that could arise would be from a landing of large
bodies of troops, which, after _ performing a long
detour, might make an attack on the land side. But, on
the other hand, it is well known that this advanced part
of the squadron has no landing troops with it; and even if
it had, the commander, whatever amount of pluck he may
have, would deserve to be cashiered for undertaking such
a foolhardy movement without artillery and ammunition
waggons—to say nothing of rations for his men, or the
means of obtaining any.

Mundella, M.P., has left for Germany.
The Very Rev. Viscount Middleton still lingers,
but his strength is apparently fast failing him.

The Rev. John Barton, M.A., late Secretary of the
Church Missionary College at Calcutta, has been ap-
pointed Secretary of the Church Missionary Society.
It is stated that the Bishop of Hereford has in-
hibited the Rev. Luke Rivington from officiating in his
diocese.

It is remarkable that Count von Moltke, the
Nestor of war on the King of Prussia's staff, is not a
Prussian, or even a German by birth, but a Dane
Guardian.

General Sir William Mansfield has made his first
inspection and review of the troops in the Dublin garri-
son. The troops were the 17th Lancers, a battery of
Royal Artillery, the Scots Fusilier Guards, the 30th, 47t
and 70th Regiments.

The Tablet says:—" We have just learnt, from a
source on which we can fully rely, that the Government
of the Holy See is in possession of letters from Napoleon,
which, if published, would produce a profound sensation
in the present moment."

It is stated that the Pope has passed over the three
names forwarded by the Chapter of Southwark for the
vacant bishopric of that Roman Catholic diocese ; that
Dr. Weathers' claims have been set aside, and that the
editor and proprietor of the Tablet is to succeed Dr.
Graait.

1 THE VALUE OF ADZE RICAN SECURITIES.
The capitalists of Europe evidently understand the
value of American securities. The Bank of Frankfort has
loaned the Prussian Government five millions of thalers
on a deposit of American stock as security. What better
security can there be than United States stocks ? We
have proved to the world that despite a terrible domestic
war, sprung upon us without preparation, with every-
thing to buy in the way of war material, and nothing
to buy it with except the faith and confidence
of the people ; with a vast army to raise and hardly a
nucleus to build it upon except the courage and devotion
of the masses ; with a vast indebtedness upon our shoul-
ders after this gigantic war was over, we have been able
to reduce the public debt to a comparative trifle, and are
reducing it every day, We have shown that many of our
most important industries have been restored ; that enter-
prise, instead of being retarded, is advanced. We
have spanned the Continent from ocean to ocean by what
might almost be called a seven days' excursion train. In
everything but our commerce on the seas the war has
given a stimulus to our material interests, and
that oke interest has .suffexed only from the action
of an imbecile and selfish Congress, In fact, the credit
of the United States to-day is more stable than that of any
nation in.Enrope. There is no country in the world so
prosperous as ours, no country that has given evidence of
such vast materials to become more prosperous every day.
We have nothing to do with the complications of European
Powers. Our pulse beats quicker, it is true, at the sound of
the war trumpet across the ocean, but we are not diverted
from our steady course of developing all our resources,hidden
and unhidden, of relieving ourselves from public burdens
as fast we can, and reducing taxation by fair and equitable
legislation. A country that can do this may afford to
indulge in its small party quarrels, or can let politicians
fret their brief hour upon the stage. It can have its little
row in Congress now and then, can tolerate Ben Butler and
laugh at Sam Cox's pleasantries, and even endure the
dreary sophomorisms of Sumner, and nobody can blame us.
But the question is, why should not a country which has
accomplished all thati we have done in war and in finance
stand high in the Wall streets of all Europe ? The answer
is found in the value which American securities hold in
the markets of Europe at this crisis. —New York 'Jerald.

LARGE WAR MEETING IN BOSTON.
BOSTON, July 27.

Fully 2,500 men and a large number of women, a
majority being Germans, with many citizens of other
nationalities, gathered in Faneull Hall to-night to hear
the European war discussed. The meeting proved
enthusiastic, and the hearty manner in which the
views of the speakers were applauded, indicated
pretty accurately the. course of public sentiment in this
section on Napoleon's war of aggression. American
and Prussian colours were displayed in the hall, with the
flags of the local German societies. In the centre of the
platform was a female figure representing a union of
Germany, with the motto in German—" Strong,
free, United." The speeches were mainly in
German, and resolutions were read in that lan-
guago. F. Geldowsky, of Boston, was the President,
and in an opening address said he hoped the
result of this struggle would be to unite all Germany.
E. C. F. Krauss, formerly a Professor at Harvard, made
a long speech in German. He alluded to Napoleon's
threat about Jena, when that battle was fought in 1806.
The French army was then used to victory, and Prussia
was a second-rate Power. Now Mexico was like a rheu-
matic fever in the limbs of the French army, and instead
of another Jena, France would find another Leipsic,
The war was caused by the wanton arrogance of Napoleon,
and he thought it would unite all Germany. He char-
acterised the telegram alluding to Hungary's sympathy
for France as a Paris fabrication. The object of Napoleon
was to tear Germany to pieces and subjugate her
smaller States. It was the interest of all the great
Powers to end the Napoleonic rule, and that would be
the greatest possible benefit to France herself. He did not
think enough was known of the secret treaty to treat it
intelligently. The Rev. Dr. Hedges, of Brookline, who was
educated in Germany, in the course of a studied and elo-
quent speech, said, unreservedly : " I side with Prussia in
her struggle against France. It seems to me every patriotic
American must do the same. I believe it will be found
that those of our people who most ardently embraced
the cause of the Union in our own recent war are with
you in yours. For, with the Germans, this is a war
for the union of Germany, and on the side of Napoleon
a war against that union." Dr. Hedges made an
able argument to support this ground, and closed as
follows : "It has been said of Pope Boniface that he
came in like a fox, ruled like a, lion, and died like a dog.
Napoleon came in like a fox, for lie stole his diadem,
if ever one was stolen; he has ruled like a lion by
. 4
intimidation, terrorism, and brute force, end it, to
complete the parallel, in the issue of this conflict he
shall die like a dog, neither you nor I will regret the
course of events." The Hon. Thomas Russell, collector
of this port, spoke in the same strain, and was rather more
fervid in expression. He was followed by S. K. Koehler,
who urged sympathy with the German people, if not for King
William. He did not admire the King, but would support
him as the representative of right and justice. A stirring
declaration was unanimously adopted. A portion of the
preamble held that the man who at present rules France
has forced this war in the most frivolous manner, with
the aim of denying Germany its right of. self develop-
ment, merely to satisfS, his own selfish ambition,

THE HEAT PHENOMENA OF THE PRESENT

YE kR.

When we wrote, some days ago, in reference to the
'earful drought and heat which have almost destroyed the
crops on a wide belt of the European Continent, we laid
the flattering unction to our souls that the hot spell of
our atmosphere was at an end. But the solar
fervors have returned upon us durin the past
week with redoubled fierceness. While th e
temperature in New York city has ranged, be
tween six o'clock in the morning and six o'clock
in the evening, from 90 degrees to 98 degrees Fahrenheit
in the shade, and therein has exceeded the rate at Gal-
veston, New Orleans, Key West, and Habana; the heat
has been even more extreme at several points in the West.
At St. Louis it sent the mercury up to 104 in the shade
on the 23rd, while at Peoria, Illinois, it drove the fickle
fluid to 106 on the 21st inst. These are rates almost
beyond human endurance, for it must be remem-
bered that in the greater number of the homes
occupied by the poorer classes the heat ascends
from 10 to 15 degrees above the outside tem-
perature, and that there the aged and the juvenile
members of the household have chiefly to remain. It is
impossible not to fear that a long continuance of such
more than African torridity must result in widespread
epidemic. An increase of but a very few degrees would
materially impair the chances of existence for thousands
whose daily avocations call them out of doors. As it is,
while we write, the colossal marble image of St. Paul, in
the niche on the façade of the grave old church directly
opposite the Herald office, on Broadway, seems, with
half open mouth and upturned fame, to pant, not
merely through exhaustion, but with an expres-
sion of awe, as though beholding apocalyptic
portents in the glowing firmament. The stone walls of
the adjacent buildings radiate the heat like huge burning
glasses, and while it dazzles the gaze to look at them the
reflected beams of heat thrown back from them strike on
the skin like fiery darts. Were the entire City
Hall Park not shorn as now of half its fair proportions,
but fully restored and converted into one vast cluster of
sparkling water jets and fountains, the thirsty,
palpitating multitude would well nigh drink it
dry. Poor humanity actually suffers at every motion
and with every step, and the real death roll is
steadily increased far beyond the ordinary re-
turns. Upon examination of our exchanges we find
that this intense heat extends over a zone in America of
about eight hundred miles in width, north and south, and
reaching from hereto the Pacific in longitude. At nearly
all points within that zone the temperature is admitted
to be higher than was ever known there before for the
same length of time, and up to the latest moment of ad-
vice there seems to have been no diminution. If we now
turn our attention to the Eastern Continent a similar state
of things confronts us there. The latitude of Paris
swelters under a heat of 95 degrees in the shade, the
parks of London are so bared of herbage and exhausted
of water that their deer are half fed upon foliage and
twigs clipped from the trees, and the summits of the
Alps, where they are seen, gleam with a wavering and
baleful effulgence, as though they, too, were tongues of
fire, darting up from the earth in its agony. The Euro-
pean belt of fervent heat corresponds almost exactly with
our own, and, no doubt, the ocean link between is glowing
with nearly equal severity, the relief there, if any, result-
ing from the fogs and clouds, accompanied by gusts of wind
and dashes of rain which such intense evaporation must occa-
sion. Astronomers and physiologists are busy endeavouring
to study out the causes of this exceptional condition, the
aggregate effect of which upon our planet is equal to
forces so stupendous as to strike the unaccustomed mind
with terror. The general conclusion is that the entire
solar system is passing through a region of the starry
heavens, in its sublime circuit around the remoter centre,
that exerts peculiar electrical effects upon not only all
the attendant orbs, but on the vast luminary which
furnishes our chief supply of light and heat. The
main question now to thoughtful minds is how
much longer these heat phenomena are to last, and what
will be the summing up of their results to the nations ,
directly affected 2 That they are to be followed by
further disturbance of the elements, great storms of wind,
thunder and lightening, and possibly by visible electrical
manifestations in the heavens, of remarkable splendour ,
and power, it is quite natural, on scientific principles,
to anticipate. But we may have confidence that the
Power in whose presence " the channels of the sea ap-
pear" and " the foundations of the world are discovered "
has ordained and governed all these dispensations for the
best.—Now York. Herald.
