The European Situation Reported by Mail.
The European mail of the llth of November,
which arrived at this port yesterday evening,
supplies some very interesting details OF our
cable news kilograms. The entertainment
given to the Queens Ministers by the Lord
Mayor and Corporation Of London
was very brilliant affair. Premier
Gladstone and Earl Granville delivered
after dinner speeches. as we announced
at the time by the cable Mr.. Gladstone, as
will be seen by our report to-day, is well
pleased with the home situation. The Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs took great credit to
the Cabinet for the pleasing and very
profitable condition of the foreign re-
lations. Great Britain wakes powerful in
peace, extends and protects her COM
merce, and grows richer hourly. The
matter of the Alabama claims was not referred
to officially, however. We publish an article
from an English newspaper on the subject. 1t
is replete with chop logic and petty inferences,
and conveys very slight hope of a cash pay
ment, under present circumstances at least.
Earl Granville was quite dolorous over the
European war situation and its consequences
in France. For the Alabama claims money
we must watt and, il at all possible under the
circumstances, pray.

rhs yvar situuesou ia France.

The movements Of armies preliminary to a
great struggle are now progressing in the dis
trict about Paris. Rumor has it that General
Won Moltke has abandoned the idea of sending
expeditions into the interior of the country
and is drawing his armies closer round the be-
sieged capital Of France General Manteuffel
has orders to join the besieging armies The
Duke OF Mecklcnburg and Prince Frederick
Charles are moving so as to form junction,
with the object Of keeping the Army of the
Loire occupied, or possibly giving it battle, re-
lying upon past achievements and the valor
Of Germans for victory. On the French side
there is no lack Of energy. General Paladines
has go far proved himself an efficient and
prudent commander, and may yet do wonders
for France. The report that portion OF his
troops occupies the attention of the Duke OF
Mecklenburg, while with the bulk Of his army
he is moving to a junction with the forces OF
Bourbaki and Keratry, who are moving towards
him from the nerthward, with their united
forces to raise the siege of Paris, sounds very
well but we accept all such accounts with
very large grain of allowance. There are ac-
tive movements progressing on both sides pre-
paratory to a bloody battle. The movements
Of both armies lead to this belief, and the
strengthening of the German forces by new
troops as well as the throwing up Of intrench-
ments about Versailles point to the
vicinity of that place as the field for
the approaching conflict. What Trochu
may do it is almost impossible to form
any opinion from the contradictory state
ments continually received as to the state
of affairs within the walls of Paris. By this
time he ought to have fairly organized army,
and if there is any agreed plan of action be-
tween him and Paladines, French soldiers and
French valor may yet be able to accomplish
something worthy Of the traditional fame Of
French arms.

mutiDy and confusion follow, and the ship may
be easily boarded and captured by the enemy
or all hands with the sinking hulk may be
turned adrift. These wranglng and clashing
leaders and organs OF the republican party are
in fair way to bring the administration and
themselves among the breakers. They would
initiate the fool In the fable who killed the
goose that laid his golden eggs; they would
play their game Of Andy Johnson with Gen
eral Grant, forgetting that in the next Con-
gress Grant, with his veto, will be master OF
the field. They forget, above all things, that
General Grant saved the party in 1868, that
he has saved it in 1870, in spite of its feuds
and party squabblcs, and is the only power
that can save it in 1872 against the terrific
flying artillery, big Indians" aud mitraileuses
OF Tammany Hail.

TIoN.-The spectators in Wall street have
jumped to the conclusion that England and
Russia are not to fight. Gold consequently
tumbled to 1llt. While the feeling ran in
favor of peaceful Interpretation Of Prince
Gortchakoff's last vote it was supported by the
advance in the English funds-a certain index
of the political situation. Consols in London
yesterday advanced about three-quarters per
cent on Saturdays quotations and over one
per cent on the lowest produced by the agita-
tion of the Russian question.

NILSSON II BRooKLYN.--This charming
Swedish cantatrice viii make her appearance
at the Brooklyn Academy tomorrow night in
concert, assisted by the splendid company Of
first class artists who have aided so well in
giving 6cst to these concerts. Her success
in Boston, from which she has just returned,
was something almost unprecedented. We
hope that the grand oratorio-the "Messiah"-
in which she is to sing at Steinway Hall, on
Friday night will prove stepping stone to
grand opera.

SALE OF THE STATE Prison AT SING SING. -
We learn that the proposition to sell the State
Prison at Sing Sing, introduced into the last
Legislature will be renewed at the coming
session. This is a wise project The immense
strides New York city and its suburbs are
making up the North river naturally suggest
that such valuable site for commercial and
other purposes az that now occupied by the
State buildings in Sing Sing should be appro-
prated to its more legitimate uses

ABOUT TmE.-According to synopsis of
the forthcoming report OF the Secretary of the
Navy, which we publish elsewhere, we are

by order of the Spanish auth critics in Cuba,
should be sufficient inspiration for some lively
action on the part of our naval authorities in

THE FIELD MEDAL, manufactured by order
of Congress in 1867 for presentation to Cyrus
W. Field upon completion Of the Atlantic
cable, and which was supposed to have been
stolen, was found yesterday in the safe of Mr..
Tuttle, a clerk in the Treasury Department,
where it had been three years, quietly await
ing the coming of Mr.. Field. Mr.. Tuttlc evi-
dently takes little interest in affairs outside
his own official duties, or he would have
learned, years ago, that Congress had ap-
propriated an extra five thousand dollars to
duplicate the medal which he was SO carefully
guarding.
