THE SITUATION AND ITS COMPLICA.
T[ONS
From, the N. Y. Herdl

From the N. Y. Herald.
Frances demand that the South German
States should declare forthwith their relations
to the belligerent powers seems to be fully
answered by the fact that son of the King of
Prussia has gone to Munich to take command
of the forces of the South German States.
These States have hitherto agreed to such re-
lations with Prussia that, while they have an
independent existence during peace, they
furnish contingent to her armies in case of
war. This arrangement was one of the first
facts following the triumph of Prussia in 1866,
which opened the eyes of France to the folly
of which she had been guilty in standing still
while Prussia destroyed the Germanic char
acter of Austria Now this arrangement
comes into the foreground as point of pri-
mary importance, since it presents all Ger
many as opposed to France, and converts from
neutral territory the whole line of the Rhine
from Bale to the Main. From observations
made in Paris it would also appear that there
is no satisfactory certainty about the neu-
trality at the other extremity of the frontier.
1t is noted that the men in command of the
Belgian frontier forces are both personally
inimical to the French Government, and that
one of them is not stranger to the influence
of the anti-Freneh intrigues of Prussia.
They are therefore the sort of men who might
not be slow to take any steps that would
compel France to invade Belgian territory;
and If France should do this behold the de-
claration from England-"Any violation of
Belgian territory ends England's neutrality"
Now such declaration is likely to insure in
Belgium conduct that will compel England to
come into the struggle; for the anti-Napoleonic
sentiment is very earnest among the Bel
gians, and they would rejoice to see England
once more arrayed among the armed oppo-
nents of France. Thus it is possible that
instead of the military operations being con-
fined at the frontier to that narrow zone in
which French and Prussian territory meet,
and the hanks of either power being covered
by neutral territory, the theatre of operations
may include both the Black Forest and the
| Low Countries
The movements of troops already indicate
an extension of the theatre of war. Hitherto
attention has been confined to the irregular
triangle formed by the Moselle, the Saar, and
the line of railroad from Metz, nearly east to
Mannheim, which passes the frontier at Saar-
bruck. Nearly the whole Franco-P -Prussian
frontier is within this triangle, and if Prussia
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-07-20

had secured her "wait till the Goth Of July"
before any movements had been made she
would probably have met France here, and
we should have had q battle on the Saar, per-
haps not far from Saarlouis. But Prussia
was not ready, and thence, indeed, the only
operation yet reported-that, namely, at
Forbach, also within the above triangle.
Forbach is the first station from Saarbruck,
on the line of rail between Saarbruck
and Metz, and because Prus-
sia was not ready to meet France in
force, and because it was apprehended that
France might at once, using the rail, occupy
the Rhine, a small force was sent forward to
destroy the road at Forbach, on French soil
Thus the Prussians really delivered the first
blow, and this or the unreadiness of France
has enabled them to occupy Saarbruck before
the advance of the French even to the from
tier The despatch which informs us of the
occupation of Saarbruck by the Prussian
troops gives no intimation of their force but
from the fact that tho movement of three
bodies is reported-two on the frontier and
one behind in Hesse-D -Darmstadt-its seems safe
to infer that there is TO be a considerable con-
centration of Prussian troops where Franco
directly threatens by her concentration at
Metz.
The next Sadowa may lie, therefore, in the
space included between the Rhine and Mo-
selle and line from Metz to Strasburg. Ras-
tadt, where the troops furnished by Baden are
now in camp, is on the Rhine, hundred
miles below Strasburg; and doubtless the
other parts Of the South German contingent
of which the Prussian Prince Frederick
Charles takes command, are in motion to-
wards point not far distant from that. With
alb this concentration towards the same dis
trict battle there becomes hourly imminent,
for battle seems ust here necessary pre-
liminary to any other operation, since no
French army could invade Prussia on line
within this theatre and leave an unwhipped
Prussian army in its rear, nor a Prussian
army invade France and leave the French
forces in its rear But a great battle-one
involving large proportion of the armies of
either power-fought to decisive result i'll
this theatre of war, leaves the territory of the
vapquished open, and may, therefore, decide
the war. Ana this at least in Europe, seems
to be the tendency of the modern system of
warfare--to make the issue of a single great
battle conclusive of national differences.

THE UNENGAGED POWERS.

From the NJ Y. World.
Out of the swarm of stories which the
cable daily sends us it is perhaps desirable
that we should disengage clearly the things
concerning which we have absolutely no
authentic intelligence from Europe.
OF the action of the South German States
nothing is yet positively known save that
they have not yet taken the field in support
of Prussia.
OF Holland and Belgium nothing is vet
positively known, save that Holland has de-
clined to receive military aid from Prussia,
or, in other words, to invite a French occu-
patton of Luxembourg as the necessary pre-
ventive of Prussian return to that most i'm
portant fortress now held as a neutral point
by the troops of the Netherlands under
Prince Henry, brother of King William III.
Of Austria nothing is yet positively known
save that she has ordered the formation of
strong camp of observation on her north
western frontiers, and that Hungary declares
for France in the event of Russian or Eng
lish interference on the Prussian side.
Of Russia nothing at all is yet positively
known. The condition of the empire inter-
nally and in respect to her finances is such
as to make it quite certain that Russia will
never be led, and can only with difficulty be
driven, to take part in the war.
OF Sweden and Denmark nothing is yet
positively known, save that Denmark ardently
desires war with Prussia, and that
Sweden has proclaimed her neutrality. For
this Sweden has excellent special reasons
In the first place her commercial marine may
expect great employment during the suspen-
sion of the North German commerce by sea !;
and in the second place, Sweden, almost
alone in Northern and Central Europe, this
year enjoys the prospect of magnificent
harvest. She has the same luck in this par
ticular which she profted by SO handsomely
in the first year of the Crimean struggle.
Of Italy nothing is yet positively known,
save that she is carrying on negotiations
actively at Paris with an object easily to be
OWNED but not yet avowed. Italy greatly
desires the completion at the earliest possible
moment of the Mont Gents Tunnel, and the
commencement at the earliest possible mo-
ment of the road over the st. Gothard.
Of England nothing is yet positively
known, save that her Government, after ear
nestly supporting the demands of the Duke
of Gramont, as bitterly denounces the steps
taken to enforce those demands, and that
| Bernal Osborne declared the Gov.
ernment unable to put $4,000 men into the
| field.
OF Spain nothing is yet positively known,
save that the Regent is so thoroughly recon
ciled to the loss of possible Prussian king
that he has begged the Cortes not to take the
trouble of convening to discuss it.
