AFFAIRS IN EURoPE.-A Berlin dispatch
Saws that "the Government of Prussia, unable
to recognize the actual Government of France,
will not restore the Bonapartes A dispatch
from the Prussian Government considers the
capture of Paris az certainty, and predicts as
result that many people who cannot be fed
must starvc. A Berlin telegram says that
Bazeiue's recent movements are an attempt
TO fight his way into Belgium. General Won
Werther, with the army recently bcsleglng
Strasbourg, is advancing on the French army
which has moved eastward from Lyons. Lon
don dispatches state that the French Provl'
sional Government is preparing to accede to
King Williams terms of peace, La Llberte
having published an article advocating recti
ication of the Alsatian frontier, near Wissem-
bourg. The Foreign Ambassadors at Tours
are preparing to 90 to Bordeaux, anticipating
that the seat of government will shortly be re-
moved there These accounts, are all, it will
be seen, On the authority Of reported dis
patches" Thirtyt two thousand voters refused
to vote in the recent election in the Papal
St1teS. luc OuQClaiS tIauoiCl iuCh ouOSio1SS
to the King. A decree has been issued an
neSug the Roman Provinces to the Kingdom
Of Italy. The Pope preserves his dignity and
the invio!ability of his personal prerogatiVes as
sovereign. General La Marmora is appoint
ed Lieutenant Governor of the Papal Provinces.
The laws of Italy are TO be introduced, and an
amnesty proclaimed.
IT IS TINE once more to rally the Conserva-
tive party in this State, in view OF the ap-
preaching election, and this rally should be a
united, determined and effsctual one. 1t q
voter has any political principles, let him show
them by his action previous to the election as
we'll as by his vote at the polls. The Rich
mond Wing says I'VE cannot succeed in an
election like this against a party constituted
and organized like the Radical party without
earnest diligent, persistent labor and thorough
and complete union." The Richmond Enquirer
says:-"A man conscientiously approving his
acting with more enlarged views, and in nobler
temper, than be who is simply devoting him
self to the service OF some man or set of men. !"
There is reason why there should not be
IN this canvass zeal, and an activity equal to
that shown at the last election-because defeat
at this would hand the State over, again, to
Radicalisn-Radical men and Radical meas
ures, and what that means every citizen Of
this State knows full we'll.
MORE OF THE OYSTER Wharf.-The Balti-
more American says THE trouble concern
ing the boundary line on the oyster grounds be-
tween Maryland, and Virginia is assuming Sc
rious aspects. A dispatch from Somerset
county, dated last evening, reports that two
vessels. carrying two hundred men, and fully
prepared for fight, left that place for Oman
cock, Va, for the purpose of rccapturing the
vessels recently unjustly seized by the Virginia
authorities tor alleged violation of the treaty
made by Commodore Davidson, Of the Ma.
ryland Oyster Navy. The owners and masters
of the vessels, escaped from Drummondtown
Jail on Thursday last. are at the head OF the
party who are making the effort to recover the
captured property. The steamer Leila, the
flagship" of the Maryland Oyster Navy, was
seized yesterday at Baltimore, by Deputy U.
s. Marshall, on the chsrse of non compliance
with the laws OF the u. S. requiring the boilers
and hulls OF all steam vessels to be inspected
yearly. Bond was entered for the trial before
the Z. S, District Court, aad the Leila was al,
lowed to depart yesterday afternoon"
The Norfolk Journal remarks that who it
admits the general tendency of most persons to
regard the days of their youth asibetter, in
every respect, than those of the present, and
is ready to make every allowance for this feel
ing, there is no disputing the truth that there
is deterioration in the mode in which child
rem are reared as compared with the practice
in former times. This is certainly SO. There
il less obedience, less homo discipline, less re.
straint upon idle and vicious habits, less par.
entail control. Tho consequences we see every
day-and unhappy consequences they are.
The Baltimore American expresses the opin-
ion, in which most quiet and orderly citizens
concur, that it wou d greatly promote the cause
OF justice II more murderers we're hanged and
more DULLES and rufians sent to the peniteI-
tiary for assaut7 on people who have no other
protection than the law.
Alter inventing or repeating all sorts of
rumors relative to the ex Emperor Of the
French, the correspondents of the European
papers have now story that he attempted to
commit suicide on the 18th ult
The Cubans residing in New York, Balti-
more, and other places, celebrated yesterday
as the third anniversary Of Cuban indepen
dence.'

the old lady in Washington, last week, has
been arrested.
