The Attitude of Prussia.

1t turns out that, after all, Prussia Is not un-
willing to treat with France and make peace.
Our latest news from King William and from
Bismarck, his grand henchman, shows that
Prussia has been placed in serious difficulty
by the change of government in France. The
government de facto is not the government do
jure the government that speaks for France
is not government chosen by France. Prus-
sia, in consequence, knows not what to do.
If she deals with the government de facto
France may repudiate. If she deals with the
government de jure France may repudiate.
The one government is without power-the
other government is without right. Re-
pudiation under either is more than
a possibility. And then Germany has
painful remembrance Of treaties con-
cluded in circumstances so doubtful This is
the first time in many centuries that Germany
has been a unit; and the Madrid treaty OF
Charles the Fifth of Germany and Francis the
First of France has not yet been wholly for
gotten. The presumption to-day is that
The New York herald., 1870-09-21

Neighboring Kingdoms, politically separate
and often hostile, are an anachronism at this
day. They belong to the past, when intercom-
munication was difficult and tedious. But
now, with space annihilatsd and barriers
broken down by telegraph and steam, with
nations drawn into closer vicinage and more
familiar intercourse with each other than the
various cities and provinces Of the same king
dom were in the last generation, and with all
the dogmas of divine right exploded and the
principle of popular government almost uni
versally accepted, there Is no reason why those
various nationalities should not combine into
one great republican confederation, to be
known collectively as the United States Of
Europe, and to exercise separately their own
State and municipal governmental powers. If
the present war shall be instrumental In
Fastening that good day of universal brother
hood and peace the sacrifices which 1t shall
have caused will not have been entirely in
vain

THE REPUBLICAN, DEMONSTRATION IN LON
DoN.--On Monday night, according to our
special dispatches, there took place in London
such demonstration as London has not wit
messed in some years. If there was not 80
much humbug in London demonstrations gen.
orally we should have more faith in this latest.
But we have not forgotten the yet recent
demonstrations in Hyde Park. We have not
forgotten the grand Chartist demonstrations,
in which the now imprisoned Emperor Of the
French figured as special policeman. Eng
lish radicals are, after all, very cautious.
They know the limit of the law, and they are
singularly careful never to trsnsgress it. Like
many other big shows Of the past this latest
is ended. Some new Beazly has had hear
ing, and has begun to hope that yet he may
shine within the walls Of st. Stephens, and
that is the end Of it. Why will not republi-

THE SIEGE OF ROME, instead of its peaceful
occupation, appears to be imminent. The
foreign legions which have been serving in the
army of the Pope insist upon resisting the
Italians to the last, notwithstanding the con-
cessions that the good old man is anxious to
make In the interests of peace. The Italians
therefore are preparing to besiege the city,
and the sight is thus reserved to the present
decade of the simultaneous siege of the two
most grandly historic cities of the world
Paris and Rome.

The Yellow Fever in Havana.

Coming close on the discovery made on
board the brig II. G.. Berry, which arrived in
this port on the 18th inst, we have the an
nouncement by cable from Havana that for
the week ending Saturday, the 18th, the num-
ber of deaths by yellow fever in that city num-
bered five hundred and sixty. When we con-
slider the amount of trade between this city
and Havana, not to say anything of the num-
ber of vessels which almost daily arrive here
from infected ports, our quarantine authorities
cannot exercise too close a vigilance to guard
the city from the causes which may result in
an epidemic. With the yellow fever raging in
Havana, as well as in other Southern ports,
there is every reason why scrutiny of the
closest kind should be adopted. The conduct
Of those on board the brig H. G.. Berry was,
to say the least of 1t, culpable. The plea that
the body of the captain underwent the process of
embalming previous to its being placed on
board the brig is no excuse whatever for the
act There was also an attempt apparently at
concealment, for the body was slowed away
among boxes of sugar in the hold. Sugar, it
is well known, will retain the infectious gases
and substances with which it is brought in con-
tact for long time. What results might have
followed, therefore, had the Berry succeeded
in eluding the Quarantine authorities, come up
to this city and had landed her cargo, it is un-
pleasant to conjecture. The very fact of
the captain dying of an infectious disease
(cholera) should have been sufficient cause
to suggest the strictest caution to those on
board the vessel, yet little or no heed was
taken of the matter.
the first time since the late war yellow fever
has broken out badly in New Orleans.
Almost one of the first things General
Butler did when he took charge Of
the city was to subject it to thorough
cleansing. This had the desired effect, and
the dreadful scourge, which up to that time
had been an annual visitor, kept away. We
believe that If the cause for the present vista
ton is traced to it's proper source it will be
found to result from imperfect sanitary regula-
tions. In fact negligence in cleanliness is the
cause why many Southern cities are subject to
these plaques. Havana is one of the dirtiest
cities in the world. Imperfect drainage,
worse sewerage and disgraceful sanitary regu-
lations are the primary causes for its un-
healthiness during certain seasons Of the year.
We hope that recent developments and late
reports from the tropics will impress upon the
Health Officer and his assistants the necessity
of the closest scrutiny on all vessels coming
from infected ports. We feel satisfied that
the authorities will do their duty, and such
being the case we rest assured that through
no lack of energy on their part will disease be
brought into the city.

PRIZE FIGHTING has been introduced as a
novelty in the musical world, and we may
therefore expect an unusually lively season.
When an operate manager and the leader of
the orchestra make hit even before the COM
mencement Of the season may it be consid-
cred as an augury of success with the public?
The account of an unpleasantness at the Grand
Opera House, published in another column,
will explain this new feature in amusements.

,meut Of the Neutrality Laws Against
Frenchulen.


Frenchmen.
Considerable excitement was caused here
yesterday by the action of the federal author
tiles in regard to the passengers on board the
French steamship Lafayette. It seems that
on this vessel, bound for Brest and Havre,
large number of Frenchmen had taken pas
sage for the purpose Of Offering their military
services to their country in the hour Of its
utmost need. Those who had means to enable
them to do so paid their own expenses, and
those who had not were probably aided by the
French Consul at this port, or by their more
affiuent countrymen. It seems, however, that
the Consul of the North German Confedera-
ton made an affidavit before United States
Commissioner that many of these Frenchmcn
were enlisted to serve against Germany in the
present war, in violation of the neutrality
laws Of the United States. Armed with
warrant issued on this affidavit the United
States Marshal yesterday went on board the
Lafayette, and large number of passengers
having been pointed out as coming under the
terms of the neutrality laws were placed in
arrest and taken on shore, but were subse-
quently set at liberty and the vessel was
allowed to proceed with the rest of its pas
sengers.
OF course, il the affidavit of the North
German Consul can be substantiated by proof
that these Frenchmen were enlisted or were
hired to 60 beyond the seas to be enlisted in
the service of belligerent they were liable
to arrest and punishment under the neutrality
laws, and the person so enlisting or hiring Or
retaining them to be enlisted is also amonable
to thepenalty. But if they were voluntary
emigrants, seeking to return to their native
land, even with the intention of joining the
army, and were simply aided pecuniarily by
the French Consul or by their countrymen to
carry out their intention, we fail to see that
their case would come either legally or logi-
cally within the sweep of the law, and their
arrest and detention would be simply an exer-
else of arbitrary power not authorized by the
law or by the Presidents neutrality proclama-
ton of the 22d of August last.

The Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention assemblies
in Rochester to-day. There is but very little
doubt in regard to the ticket that will be pre-
sented Governor Hoffman will be renomi-
mated by acclamation, and the balance of the
ticket will be filed to the satisfaction of the
delegates and no doubt it will receive the
endorsement of the democracy Of the State on
the 9Th of November next 1t is expected
that the rough and ready democracy of the
city will attempt to make demonstration in
the Convention or outside of it. This will
impart spice to the proceedings. What would
a democratic convention amount to unless
there was q row Of some sort? And the
assemblage to-day will belle the democratic
record unless some sort of rampage turns up.
Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden and Mr.. Joseph Coburn
will both be there. Mr.. Tilden will represent
the exotics of the Manhattan Club and Mr..
Coburn will represent the cultivated bulrushes
of the rank and file. Hence we may antici-
pate a very pleasant gathering-with what
result remains to be seen. The democracy of
the Empire State have fair field before them
if they behave properly.

TEE in Washington to force assessments from
the clerks in the departments has come to
grief. Secretary Cox, being called on to en-
courage the collection of the assessments
in the Department of the Interior, has
declined to do 80, and intimates
that much harm has already been done
the republican party by such an unseemly
mode of raising funds. Thereupon the COM
mittee denounce Cox as disloyal, and would
even have gone 80 far as to call him johnson
man, but that they got into row among
themselves and wandered from the subject.

A FATAL QUARREL.

For some time past Michael Diennen, a pasterer,
has been employed on one OF the new buildings In
Thomas street, near Broadway. On Monday, how
ever, Diennen appeared to be on q bit Of spree,
ana towards evening, while in the building some
words occurred between Diennen, Stephen Moore,
one Of the fremen, and another man, during which
blows were exchanged while they stood on the Sec
Ond floor.
1t is alleged that Moore and his companion seized
Diennen and after slight sklrmish he broke away,
and, running TO the window, either fell or Jumped
out and fell to the basement below. He received
injuries from which he died soon after admission to
Bellevue Hospital Some Of the friends allege that
deceased was compelled to jump from the win
dow TO save himself from the fury OF
his pursuers; but from the testimony OF a
witness or twoi yesterday examined before
Coroner Flynn 1t appears that Moore and the person
with him were several feet from deceased at the
time he went out the window. The Coroner, how.
ever, committed Moore to await the result of the
tnquisition, which will be continued to-day. The
prisoner denies his guilt and says ne has witnesses
TO fully establish his innocence. Deceased was
twenty four years OF age and q latlve oil Ireland.
He LETT widow and one child.
