The war between France and Prussia will
be fruitful e spurious reports Ct army move:
ments, battles, DE-. and our Newspapers which
DO not patronize the Atlantic cable will be
tempted to publish sensational guesses and
inventions in their vain efforts to anticipate or
keep up with the telegraph. The readers of
the HERALD, it is hardly necessary to assure
them, will be supplied, as usual, from day to
day, with the latest and most reliable
dispatches from France, Prussia and all parts
of Europe, subject, SO far as France may be
directly concerned, to little French coloring,
more or less, in passing over the French wires.
We expect, however, to make such arrange
ments for early authentic news on the other
side, in addition to our regular European peace
establishment, as will enable us to give to our
readers the passing events of the war simulta-
neously with, if not before, their publication in
Paris and London. II is in such important
periods in history as this of great war that
the forces and resources, the experience,
means and enterprise of the HERALD bring it
out into the boldest relief as the leading news
paper Of modern times.

The Gold Excitement Ia Wnh street.
The Gold Room was yesterday the scene Of
an excitement only surpassed in the days OF
our late war and during the elimination Of
the famous gold corner Of last September.
The apartment was wedged tight with the
brokers, who, in the midst of the sweltsring
heat, frantically bid gold up to 123on the report
which came second-handed from London that
Russia had joined Prussia in hostility to France
The immediate cause of the advance was the
fear that this alliance would stimulate fur
Their decline of our securities in the foreign
market. While there Is no doubt that in the
arrangement Of European finances which will
follow the war our bonds will be the best
investment for foreign capital, and
that reaction will certainly ensue. In
their favor, the market is rendered
extremely sensitive by some of the speculative
foreign bankers, who bought gold and sold our
bonds at the first sign of war last week. They
purposely exaggerate the situation abroad as
against our securities, in hopes of buying back
large quantities of bonds which they sold ON
speculation and also to enhance their profit on
the gold which they bought so profusely on
the outbreak of hostilities. War In Europe
means profitable market for everything we
can ship there. When we have overcome tho
first and very natural depression in our securi-
ties abroad, arising out of the shifting OF
capital in such crisis, we shall be the creditor
country with Europe, and require settlement
of the balance of trade by shipments of gold
this way.

These are points touching the great inter.
ests of the country that the members Of Con-
gress, filed with their petty local schemes and
hopes, could not see, or would not see, in
their eagerness to get home and shuttle off
their responsibility, and hence they dis
regarded the admonition of President Grant
to prolong the session for brief time. We
presume that the country will remember this
infamous haste to every member who urged
an immediate adjournment while such momen
tous interests were pending.
Nothing, of course, as we said, remains for
the President but to obey the will of the
country, and call an extra session of Con-
gress if possible within thirty days, in order
to have such laws enacted as will restore our
maritime status and enable us to take adyan-
tage of the present opportunity to reconstruct

The peculiar geographical position of Bel
GUM, the very general use Of the French
language in that country and the strong French
sympathies of portion of the Belgian popula-
ton, have induced some political soothsaye era
to predict that in the course of the actual wan
1t may once more become, as 1t has 80 often
been, the battle field of Europe, and that az
Belgium has already formed part of the
French empire so 1t may again be absorbed by
FRANCE II the latter triumphs over Prussia.
Meanwhile both belligerents are strictly bound
to respect the neutrality of Belgium. Never
theless this little kingdom is profoundly
affected by the perturbations of the war be-
tween its powerful neighbors. Troops are
concentrating at Antwerp and at other strate-
gic points. The specie in the National Bank
at Antwerp has been removed to the citadel.
An emission Of paper money is announced.
The interruption of commercial advices from
abroad in consequence Of the war excitement
paraIyzes the markets at Antwerp. Similar
Indications Of the direct pressure OF the war
are Witnessed at every other business centre
in Belgium. As for. the majority Of the
Belgans themselves, their sentiments have
not changed since 1866, when the King.
in opening the new Chambers on November
ID, made the following declaratlon:-sIn the
midst Of the great events which have disturbed
great part Of Europe Belgium has remained
calm and confident, deeply impressed with
the rights and duties Of neutrality. This neu-
trality she will continue to preserve in the
future as she has done in the past-with sin
cerity, loyalty and strength" Belgium can
certainly count on the aid Of one mighty ally
in carrying out her resolution. The declara-
ton of war by France against Prussia had
scarcely been announced in London whom
extra-oficial expressiaas 9p tho TT Of mem.
bers of the British Cabinet melted the belief
that Eng has peremptorily prohibited by

land is under the weightiest obligations tn
defend and preserve it. Nor is she less likely
to fulfil those obligations to Belgium than she
was to send promptly to Abyssiuia an army
for the relief Of few prosecuted missionaries
and travellers. If England is to be involved
in the war no stronger motive need be sought
than in her duty to protect the neutrality Of
Belgium.
