VOICE OF TEE GERMAN PRESS Ar HONE
IN FATRERJAND.

Monday last we received tuH eS from the Continent
OF Europe, and ind all the journals nearly mono
(! polized by the war news and comments thereupOn.
The German press Is peculiarly prolific and fights
the battle OF united Fstherland with tho pen as per-
sistenty and vallsnly tho Teuton armies contend
| Tor 1t In the field.
The NOrh GenGn Correspondent, published at
Berlin, thus treats the origin and objects OF the
present war. In language that has turned out to he
prophetIc:-

party as their fair and legitimate prey. Tho peacea

to every possible form OF government and under tho

to extend territory at the expense OF her neigh

That great tract OF country, including the whole OF
roc troops, formed portion OF the German em-

and partly severed 10y force.
The time has at length come when Germany must
cease to be m0esled by France and secure for her
self long period OF unbroken peace. 1t would be
absurd 10 expect this from mere change OF dy-

popularity by trying TO restore the lost military pres

she inenaces the Rhine province and the Paatinate

THE HuMoRBD AUsrRo. ITALIAN ALLIANCE.
A Vienna letter, "lrOm very well informed
source" in the Easte,r. Budget states that league
tion," ana that In certain eventualites these two
Powers might place themselves actively on the SIDE
these Conclusions because % several articles hostile to
Germany have appeared, since the beginning OF the
war in the PesseueTanzd OF Milan. The Italian gov
ernmenf, however, has already made KNOWN
through the Wurteinberg St0atS-Anzet0er and the
North German Gazette, that such alliance OF Italy
consistent neither with the Intentions OF tile govern
ment nor the feelings OF tue Italian people.
The Eastern Budget also says that the Vienna
AoTgen Post reports:--
That it has seen COPY OF some notes taken by the
srQn nj q n
William in June, 1865. IL appears from these notes
that tho King told the Grand Duke that Count Bis
marck had proposed that the Saar district should be
given up to France. We are authorized to give this
Statement unqualified denial; no such notes were
ever taken have ever existed nor has the Prus-
sian government ever dreamed Of ceding to France
one foot OF German territory.
DARK STORIES OF FRENCH THREATS.
Tie Ca,Isruhe Zettun0 comes out with the follow
ing terrible Official statement
snow that the enemy has been driven from our
frontiers we no longer induced by prudence to
conceal that the envoy OF the Due de Gramont, Sous
chef Ring, threatened to plunder and lay waste tile
adding that meme les Jentaaes seraent pas ea,g
9sGeS." AL comment is supernuous.
THE ORLEANS PRINCES.
The Kreuz Zettun0, referring TO the efforts OF tho
Orleans family to secure TO themselves the success
sion to the throne Of France aud the expulsion Of
| the present dynasty, observes:-
| The banished princes see the star OF Bonspartc
fade and they believe their opportunity nearly come
| Proclaiming thai they are Frencnmen they have
slst loudly on the acceptance Of their o1er. Now
Louis philippe lost the throne through the pacinc or
p0S @ the ss q his nes
bors. His descendants seem resolved to re-
conquer the old posi,ien by their energy, and
selves with the Chauviniss. and attempting to sub.
ject entire Europe to the tutelage Of France. The
made g! sood IesnninS the fall Of Napoeon seems
| Imminent, but has not yet taken place. Should we
I repaid il the Orleans family succeeded In ousting
the Bonapartesf Should we have then attained the
the great object Of tne Warma long and secure peace
! will reply afnrmatvely. A peace with restored
orleans prince, without other guarantees, would be
for the latter at the beginning Of the war; had al.
ready gathered glory enough for the great nation,
and with the July regime again France wo should
soon have to take tie neld anew and perhaps under
less favorable circumstances than To-day.
AUSTRIAN FEELING FOR GERMANY.
Says the Koetnische Zettuhg:-
| The sympathy with Germany awakened In Austria
victories and still accompanies the German armies
in the field The voices which are at present raised
Sre ne German
pretended prayers for the maintenance OF peace pre-
yious to the outbreak OF hostililies were we may
! believe, anything but sincere.
This feeling has strengthened with every day since
| tho war began. and has now reached fever heat
! STATEMENTS or TURco cRuELTIEs.
| 1t has been repeatedly stated, during the war,
| without any proof being given, that the Prussians
have at times been harsh to their prisoners aud as
far play Is jewel 1t Is but right and just to give
the other side OF the story Many reports reach us
OF crimes committed by the African regiments OF
France aud the country people In Asace and Lor-
raine. The Koesntsche zettung, for instance says
On the battle field Of woerth corpses were found
| mangled In o disgusting manner. The eyes Of some
mad been put out, and the tongues OF others cut out
Fourteen Bavarian soldiers. who were surrounded,
desired to surrender but the Turcos cut their hroas
with their daggers, Tie Bavarians are enraged aud
have resolved to give the Turcos no quarter In fu
ture. Tho other French soldiers refuse TO gcknowl
edge these 5avages as their comrades.
