The SituetIOn in Europe.

A war is about breaking out In Europe,
which may extend, before its close, over
the whole continent. We give below a
short synopsis of the strength OF the con-
tending nations.
f. -I.-PRUSSIA.
The area of Prussia is at present l0S,-
2l2 English square miles, or about equal
10 the CONT bined territory of Georgia and
Florida. The population, according to
the census of 1864, was l9, ,305,l79, fall.
ing but little below that Of the Northern
States of the Uuion. The great majority
of the population are Germans the total
number of persons belonging to nor-Ger,
man nationalitieS beng 2,J04, 49, A
considerable portion Of the latter are fee
bic remnants of small tribes, which are
rapidly being absorbed by the German
nationality. Within the last few years
the Government of Prussia made several
important additions to the former domln-
ions, acquiring first the two PrincipaIlties
of HohenzollerD, next the important sea-
coast district of Yahde, which it purchased
from OIdenburg, and more recently the
Duchy of Laueuburg which was ceded to
it by Austria for a pecuniary consldera.
ton. 1t holds, moreover, possession OF
Schleswig, and avoWs its intention to per-
meanently annex to Prussia both this
Duchy and that of Holstein. In point
of administration, Prussia is not inferior
to any other country Of the world. Its
fuauces, unlike those of Austria and
Italy. are in sound condition; its army
disc plDe has long been the admiration
of the entire civilized world. The army,
on war footing, numbers 100000, and
its fleet consisted, in 1865, of B. steam
ers, s sailing vessels, 40 rowing vessels ;
total, 85 war vessels Tie reigning King
is William L, born iu 1897, who sue
ceeded his brother Frederic William ~,
in January, 1861.

inces, the area of which Is 236,3ll Eng

according to computation, of 36,795,OUO

respect to race and language, into no
fewer than twelve different natiOnallties,
namely:

Austria is one of the great military
powers of Europe, her army on the war
footing being over half million of men.
The navy, however,is comparatively small,
consisting, 10 August, 1864, of 80 steam
ers with 63j guns, and ll,730 horse
power, and 20 sailing vessels with l40
guns. Great efforts have been made
within the last few years to raise the I'M
perial navy to state of high efficiency by
the substitution of steam for sailing yes
sells, and the gradual formation Of an iron
clad fee: of war. Austria has become
constitutional monarchy since l849, the
main features of the constitution consist
ing, first, of the Provincial Diets, repre-
senting the various States of the mon
arcby =; secondly, Central Diet, or Couu-
Gil of the Empire and thirdly, reduced
form of the latter, or Partial Council Of

debt of the Empire, which at the com-
mencement of the French revolution IN
l789 was S174, 100000, had grown in
1863 to Sl,21O,222,085. From 1889 to

III ITALY.

The Kingdom of Italy has an area of
98,784 English square miles, with a pop
ulatiou, according to the last census, TAX
en- IN the Spring Of 1864, of Il, ,703,7l0
souls, being on an average 220 inhabit-
ants to the square mile; figure higher
than that OF France and Germany, but
lower than that Of England. There has
been 10 some of the Provinces a rapid
increase Of population of late years; but
the increase of wealth has been much
more rapid within the last century than
the increase of population. The great
mass of the people are devoted to agri-
cultural pursuits, and the town popula
tion is comparatively small 1t has a
sea faring population of l58,692 iudivid-
uals, nearly all of whom are liable to the
maratime conscription. The military or
ganzation of the Kingdom is based on
conscri ption, and the standing army con.
sists of more than 100000 men on a
peace footing, aud more than 100000 on
a war establishment. The navy of the
Kingdom consisted in 1865 of 90 steam
ers of 20,76O horsepower, with 2,160
guns, and II sailing vessels with 279
guns. Italy has bubble debt of nearly
eight hundred millions of dollars. The
expenditure is largely in excess of the
annual revenue. r2igning Sovereign.

PROM FORTRESS MONROE.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 23--The United
States steam tug Genoa, returned yesterday
morning from the scene of the disturbance
on the eastern shore of Virginia, near
Drummondtown, between the inhabitants
and the negroes 1t appears the trouble or
iginated in band Of whites hunting down
some negroes for the purpose of searching
for one named Conan, who few days pre-
vious had attempted to cut the throat of q
white man. The negroes were robbed Of
their arms and money, when they made
complaint tO the civil authorities, who is
sued warrants for the arrest Of eleven of
the white men. The l4th inst, was set
apart for the hearing Of the case at the viii
lage named Woodstock. On that day about
hundred, well armed white men, assem-
bled, swearing they would kill every negro
who attempted to testify, and threatened the
Magistrate, Mr.. Dix, with violence if the
proceedings were continued. The magis-
trate seeing how affairs stood endorsed on
| warrants of arrests the impossibility Of
conducting a trial under such 7circumstan-
ces, and informed Major French of the
Freedman's Bureau, of his action. The
latter advised the negroes to quietly return
| TO their homes, and while they were doine
so, they were again pursued by armed
| whites till they reached places o
safety. Upon the arrival of the troops, thi
white men dispersed in every direction

REPORT on FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The report of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, submitted to the House to-day by
General Banks, favors the repeal OF the
neutrality laws and the enactment Of others
in conformity with the law of nations and
the practice of other powers towards our
selves. 1t claims payment from Britain for
property destroyed by privateers fitted out
in British ports, and says, while We prefer
peace to'war, and find it to our advantage
IN maintaining peace, it is no longer from
necessity that we do so. If we are compel
| led to choose between the sacrifice of SUI
rights and an appeal to the arbitration Of
war, there can be no doubt about the deci-
sion. We can no longer stand bail for the
peace of the world we have stood guard
for other nations long enough. It accuses
England of countenancing the rebellion
