LETTER FROM PARIS.
ITvEN1Ne TELEGRAPH SPECIAL CORES ',sDvvc' ]
A Revolution.

victories OF Sad0Wa ana CustOZZa took place
yesterday, the 1st of August. We received the
first telegram from New York per Atlantic cable.
We hope 1t IS the messenger of peace, and the
great tie which is to unite the New World to
the Old.
Notwithstanding the predictions of Mons.
Babinet, a well-known croaker, who atiirms that
the cable will not stand the storms of winter we
must hail the completion of the transatlantic
cable rs the greatest event of the century
The learned gentleman recalls to memory that
In 1858 the cable was only able to be made use
of for a few days, ana that messages took
as much as thirty hours in transmission. He
thinks that, though the new cable is a great
improvement on the old, it will not be able
TO resist the corrosive action of the sea. The
learned gentleman further thinks that as the
cable cannot last more than few DAYS, the
opportunity ought not to be loct to take the
exact longitude of the American station.
Prospective Peace.
/ am sorry to inform you that, though the
cannon is silenced for moment, peace has not
quietly settled down in Europe, and we are still
far from that 'consummation devoutly to be
wished" Diplomacy is hard at work; the King
of Prussia, the new Emperor of Germany, has
quilted Schloss-Nicholsburg and is now in his
capital. 1t is at Prague, the capital of Bohemia,
that the conditions of a defnitive peace will be
discussed; this city has been chosen on account
of its central position.
King William the First is now the Agamem-
non of the day. All the knglets of Germany
are at his feet, imploring the great ogre not to
swallow them up. The Elector of Hesse is now
expiating his courageous conduct He was
audacous enough to set Bismark at defiance
Bismark is now making him pay dearly for
his temerity, by con6scating his country.
A Prussian functionary was sent to the
Elector now residing at Stettin, to in
inform him, in the name of the King,
that he was free to go wherever he pleased, and
might settle down anywhere but in Cassel,
so his Hghness will be one to swell the num-
Der Of
DepOsed Princes.
1t does not appear that the poor blind King of
Hanover will be more fortunate, as everything
leads us to believe that the kingdom OF Han
over will be annexed to Prussia. The Nord;Scie
Zeitng, in speaking of the blind potentate, calls
him
The Late King Of Hanover,
and ambassadors sent from him to the King OF
Prussia have been sent away without having
been able to obtain an audience. Bismalk, who
is an artful dodger, and has evidently studied
Beaumarchais and knows that there snot bet
ter arm against ones enemies than cdLun,ny, has
tried to persuade his master that King George
has been always playing double part, coquet
ting at the same time with Austria and Prussia
Putting this and that together, we think that
there is
Another Man Overheard.
Even the kinglets of Southern Germany seem
tO IN hn 6a1 in tba fn1a
thus the triumph OF the greatest man in Europe
is complete.
This creation of powerful military German
empire has nothing very comforting for us III
France. Those who have quietly looked on and
allowed Bismark to have all his own way, will
some day rue it.
The PIunderinS of Frankfort,
which had been threatened by the commander
of the Prussian forces, will not be carried into
execution, as it appears the soldiers refused tt
obey the orders of General RGdenz. The hu
name General has now changed his tactics; hi
has made up his mind to starve out the iuhabi
tants of the free town. He has ordered all the
restaurants and wine shops and hotels to bt
closed, and has cut them Off from all communi
cation from without,
Fortunately, the Berliners have been shocked
at the conduct of the General, and the protesta
tions in the Prussian capital have been 81
camorous, that an order from headquarter
has been sent to the General to treat all Frank
forters with little more clemency. However
the inhabitants of the free city have, it may b
said, fallen out of the frying-pan into the tire
as the cradle of the house of Rothschild will, i
is said, be annexed to Prussia.
The bankers of Frankfort, it appears, hav
but little confidence in the new regime, as tn
majority have decided upon transferring thei
houses to Paris, keeping bat branch offices a
Frankfort.
The fear of the Prussians is now manifestin
itself in many parts of Germany.
EgIt is affirmed that the town of Strasbourg
now the general receiving house of all the art
cles of value which have been sent from ditferer
towns, that they may MOI fall prey TO th
rapacity of the Germans. There is now a un
yersal cry in Teutonic of stop thief" whereye
+he Prussian soldiers show themselves. The
have now acquired nice reputation among the
fellow-countrymen. As soon as the Prussia
troops set foot in Hungary, the majority of Ian
owners gave up their lands pro tormG TO th
Emperor of Mexico, that they might be sa
from the covetousness of the leathern helmet
The death of the Burgomaster of Frankfor
on.the Main is not the only one that can be la
10 the account of the Prussian barbarians. tt
editor of the Post Zeit1tng was so overwhelm'
with grief at the seizing OF his press, that he hi
an apopIectic fit, which caused his death.
