Deeply interesting and exciting as are the events
Transporting on the other side Of the Atlantic, where
two powerful despots are arrayng immense hosts OF
hot but misguided people to carnage on the banks
OF the poetic river Rhine, to stem the rising tide OF
popular wrath and give them a new lease OF
power to rule and ruin, the hubpub which has pre-
vailed ever since the announcement Of the
breaking out OF hostllites between France
and Prussia was sensibly diminished yesterday.
The arrival OF the English and American yachts of
the llghtship at Sandy Hook made most people for
get the war In Europe and all about it, 1t was only
among the Germans and French In our midst that
any excitement was apparent, and even these failed
not by their conduct to give expression to the native
feeling that matters of local interest deserving
of more notice than those which solely concerned
foreign governments and peoples 1t has become
tiresome to chronicle the rawlings Of the pro-Prus-
SLAMS and the proFrench In this CITY, There Is moth.
ing very new to be said for either party. French
men hold to their opinions as to the justice
Of the claims OF France; Prussians are
and not ali the lager OF the Bowery could wash
all. The talk OF movements Of recruits Tor one or
other OF the belligerents is so much paper. The
consuls OF France and Prussia are too wise to bring
their governments into conflict with the United
States at this juncure by any such violation OF
neutrality laws as the enlistment and shipment OF
recruits Tor the armies on the Rhine would be, and
no doubt they will be very careful In their conduct

animation OF the facts was made. 1t Is
quite true that quite q number of people
repaired TO the Office OF the North German Consul
TO ascertain what means could be furnished them to
reach Germany. Only twelve were found 10 possess
those qualifications of impecunloslty and voluntary

TO the same effect as were published In the HERALD
on Tuesday last.
1t was currently reported that the "German Patri.

Sge 10 Germany as their agent to to the proper
disposition OF the funds collected here General
Sgel, so he says has no objection to accept the mis-
siOn and Will endcav0r to fulfill Its duties TO the best
OF his ability. at the same time In case any offer of
military command be made him there, ne desires
not to be bound to reject 1t II his inclination should
prompt him 10 accept.
