Washington and St. Petersburg.

1t is said that the entente cOrdidle exists
between these two governments and that
the Republic will be an earnest friend of
the despotism in the coming events. 1t is
rumored also that the valorous Grant in
| tends to take advantage Of any war into
which England may be drawn to push
his absurd Alabama claims. This is in
keeping with his usual magnanimity.
Quiet as mouse while the old lion is at
liberty, but fierce and noisy as spaniel
when he is once in the tolls.
We are certainly no special pleader for
Great Britain, but we like at least some
show of appearance kept up in our inter-
course even with avowed enemies. There
is certain etiquette and sense of propriety
which honorable men generally respect not
only in private affairs but in public rela-
tons also. Our nation is sufficiently pow
erful not to far pressing its just claims
with Great Britain even in her best plight;
it certainly looks rather awkward, then, to
have lain dormant SO long only to wake up
in a moment of her utmost peril. This is
like presenting ones neighbor with "that
little bill'' just while his house is on fire or
his child is at the point of death.
But it is said that Uncle Sam wants Can
ada. Well, England has told Canada
plainly enough to go anywhere she pleases;
so our chivalric President with aids-de-
camp has only to arrange terms with the
Canadians themselves instead of plunging
the country into great war. 1t is said al
so that his motive for bellicose move
ment at this time is spite at some supposed
partiality of England for the Confederacy
duriug our late war. Surely he cannot ex-
pect much sympathy at the South in war
against our friends on account of their
friendship.
1t is said again that lie is sustained by
the partisan Republican papers at the
North in his attitude of alliance with Rus
STA, and the question arises will the Ameri-
can people at large sustain him. 1t is evil
dent that unless war with England
should catch the popular favor the days
of General Grants party are numbered.
He hopes to gain the Fenians, but for
gets that the Irish in Ireland themselves
will not quarrel with England SO long
as she sustains France. He expects to pro-
pitiate the Germans by favoring the Prus-
sian side of the great European struggle,
but onghteo rememb Der that the Germans are
a frugal, sensible people who will not care
to plunge headlong into the crushing ex-
pense of great war while an almost meal
culable public debt is still hanging over
the country.
Let him and his party try it however,
and we predict that if a British fleet should
assail the American coasts anywhere from
Baltimore to Galveston it will not find q
single port hard to take.

THE IRISH LEGION AT ORLEANs.-The
sympathy of the Irish for France has MOI
all ended in talk. The monster meetings
which gave expression to the earnest in
terest which the liberty-loving people of
Ireland had for their suffering fellow men
across the channel, had the Interior object
of giving practical shape to the efforts in
their behalf. Large numbers of Irishmen
enlisted in the French army, and of these an
organization known as the Irish Legion,
under Col. Lawler, who served in the Con-
federate army, has given fine account of
itself in the late actions before Orleans.
The charges of this body of men are said
to have carried all before them, and the
Legion has been publicly thanked by the
authorities for its valor and success. The
traditional pngnacity of the Irish race is

BY TELEGRAPH FROM LoNDoN.-Now
that the Russian Bear has growled, we may
anticipate wonderful change in the tele-
graphic tactics at London. cit is rumor-
ed" ETC., will lean in the opposte>direction
from their former slant. Lately all the
rumors in favor of Prussia were heartily
welcomed in that great metropolis, while
French rumors were snubbed and belittled.
Hereafter French reports will be treated
with great respect and paraded before the
public with every demonstration of dis
tinguished regard. They will be received
into good society, journalstically.
Already we have had several German
steamships, and indeed the whole Prussian
feet, captured quite seriously at London
Trochu has suddenly become hero, and
cut through all opposition to shake hands
with the conquering Daurelles. Mr.. Bis
marck has got sick, and gone to be nursed
by the Countess, while King William is
very anxious to escape back to Germany,
but is afraid to risk the effort.
This is a pretty fair start, and by this
time next week we confidently expect all
the Prussians in France to be dead and
buried, if rumor can effect it. However,
while rumor is generally barren of results,
the sympathy to which gives it birth may do
a good deal. The mere tone of the English
press may have considerable effect in in
spring the French people with that con-
tidence and enthusiasm which make them
50 formidable.

Respecting the outrages committed at
Lyons and Marseiles on members of reli-
gious congregations, the Archbishop of
Tours thus writes to NJ. Gambetta:
Let it be permitted to me, NJ. le Ministre,
to call your attention to the grave excuses
which have been committed in the South,
and which not only the bishop but all the
people deplore. You are, without doubt,
ignorant of the fact that some priests of
Lyons, belonging to various religious
orders, have been incarcerated or driven
from their houses, feat which it seems
is easier for pretended patriots to perform
than the expulsion of the Prussians. You
arc perhaps also aware that for seventeen
days ten priests and four fathers of the
confined in prison. These outrages have
been committed upon miserable and alb
sufd pretexts. Our patriotism should in
spire us with q hope that we Shall succeed
in making an end of the invasion but
when hear that the clergy send gold and
arms to the Prussians, and when see peo-
pie of intellect sufficiently weak to believe
1T, and some local authorities feeble enough
to be accomplices in such extravagances,
cannot help trembling for the future of my
country. No ecclesiastic thinks of oppo-
sing any obstacle to the establishment of
the new Government; but 1 doubt if the
interests of the republic are promoted by
violating the domiciles of peaceable citi-
gems and wOunding all Christian con
sciences. The honorable member of the
Government whom have as my guest has
always shown himself to be the subject of
moderate views and goodwill, and have
the confidence, M. lie Ministre, that spirit
as straightforward and elevated as yours
will promptly recognize the necessity of
putting an end to these brutal i.,justices.
The detention of the priests and the fathers
of the Mission of France at Marseilles, if it
shall be prolonged, will tic u stain upon the
rising republic, and augur i'll for its future.

The Question Of Peace.

Peace negotiations are still pending in
Europe, as will be seen by our special cable
kilograms to-day. The efforts appear to radi-
ate from London, although we are informed
that Theirs mission to the British Cabinet
failed. Brussels seems to be a next
centre of diplomatic concentration for
renewed effort General Burnside has,
we are informed, left London, bearing de-
spatches for both parties, Prussian and
French. He hopes to get through the Prus-
sian investing line at Paris but it is merely
hope. A Queens messenger reached England
from Paris, having left as the Prussian
line of encirclement was about to be
completed, and being some four days
on the way to Calais. Jules Favre's
efforts and propositions to the Prussians have
not, as it seems, just now, produced any de-
srable result. We have plan Of peace bases,
even. Then we have contradictions. The
fact is Paris remains isolated and King viii
liam obdurate. The spiked helmets of his
troopers serve to dissever the bonds of friendly
communion. The King will treat in Paris,
and, if he can, in Paris only.

THE LAST OF TIE SWORD OF ST. PETER.-
General Cadorna, commander of the Italian
army, has dissolved the Papal military legion
ary body in Rome. He attended personally at
the surrender of the Pontifcal forces. The
native Italians were disarmed, but ordered to
hold themselves for garrison duty under the
King at the different stations in the States
hitherto ruled by the Church. The foreigners
who were brigaded in the Pope's army were
not only dismissed, but expelled from united
Italy. They will be forwarded to their re-
spective homes at the expense of King Victor
Emanuel's government. The sword of st.
Peter has been broken by the sword of the
State. Had the Popes been wise in their
generation it would never have been drawn
in anger. The Popss should have rather imi-
tated the act of the Great High Priest Himself
when He healed the wound which was pro-
duced on the ear of the serving man by the
hand Of Peter in his temporary anger. II
was q beautiful lesson to humanity. The
Church will, perhaps, now return to its frs,
teaching.

CUBAN ExpRpITIONs.-We learn from our
correspondent in Key West that the Cuban
steamers Anna and Salvador have lately sue
ceeded in making landings on the Cuban coast
with ammunition and arms for the insurgents.
A despatch from Havana confirms this intelli-
gence, and states that subsequently, to the
landing of the cargo of the Salvador, the
vessel, being unseaworthy, was abandoned to
the Spaniards. Cubans have evidently be-
come firmer believers in the advantages OF
secrecy than they were at the commencement
of the revolution.

STILL IT COMES The flow of European
capital to this country continues in steady
stream. The grand upheaval of ell the trans
atlantic empires which is likely to follow the
Franco Prussian war and its unexpected es-
tablishment of republic in France is start
ling the wits of the rich men, whose treasures
would be in jeopardy in the grand convulsion
which threatens the Old World. The young,
vigorous republic of the New World presents
the safest re fuge for timid capital, and hence
we find the Canadian banks constantly trans
ferring money to Wall street for the account Of
their London correspondents. The investment
is not bad one. 1t will make money for the
owners aud for us too.

| Tho Military Operations Ia France.
The siege Of Paris progresses actively
The usual fighting for position which pre-
cedes the safer process of parallels and
mines has been taking place since Monday,
with success altogether on the side of the
Prussians An attack was made yesterday
by the French on the northern line
of the besiegers, where II Is sup
posed to be weakest. but they
were repulsed with loss. Tho Prus-
sian on the south side now occupy the heights
of Sceaux, which overlook the forts of Mont
rouge and Vauvres, and from which those
forts may be subjected to calling lombard
ment. Otherwise the position remains as we
reported it yesterday. No heavy lombard
ment and no concentrated attack has yet been
made or will probably be made for some days.
The besieging army is feeling It's way and tap
ping on the wall of works to find the weakest
spot
Inside the city, as we learn by special let
ter squeezed through the lines by the shrswd-
ness of a HERALD correspondent, several dis
graceful demonstrations of violence were made
on Sunday and Saturday by the roughs, who
uttered revolutionary cries. broke into stores
and seized provisions. In consequence of this
new terror large force of the National Guard
had been taken from the Notifications and
brought into the city to maintain order.
South Of Paris, along the line of the Orleans
Railway, military movements are of the great
est moment. Several points along the road
have been occupied by the invading force. and
1t is even reported that Orleans is threatened.
The people of Blois, which is about thirty
Eve miles south Of Orleans, and o few
miles nearer Tours, the temporary capi-
tai, are leaving their homes in dismay at the
threatened approach of the Prussians. AT
Tours the French troops are hurriedly moving,
and it is said that the government delegates
themselves will have to change their capital
once more. This movement Of the Prussians
south is one Of the many well considered ma
neuvres which throughout the war have dis
tinguished the generalship of Won Moltke. It
is apparently the intention to strike the Army
Of the Loire while it is yet undis-
ciplined and In process Of organization.
When we consider the forces which the Prus-
slams have at Strasbourg, at Metz, at Toul
and at Paris, and the ease with which they can
de:ach heavy columns like this one to overwhelm
any new movement, the mind wonders where
they get the troops, whether any men not SOL
diers are left in Germany, and it wonders, too,
what has become of the men of France, and
where are the brilliant French armies to
oppose this almost omnipresent enemy.

Wendell Phillips ON European Affairs


We publish to-day trenchant radical
republican article from Wendell Phillips on
'sthe eagerness and readiness" Of the masses
of the peoples of Europe for republican insti-
tutions, "and the quick, anxious watch and
dread of them on the part of kings" He pre-
sents us very graphic picture Of the present
startling but promising aspects Of the general
conflict between popular rights and royal pre-
tensions, though, as usual, he puts in 80 much
of his dark pigments as to obscure the compo-
sition and leave us in doubt as to the design.
For instance, our great denunciator Gas Phil
lips may be called with as much propriety as
Edward Everett was called ''the Great Lauda-
tori says of Prussia, in prosecuting this war
after the great victory of Sedan, that, ''blood-
thirsty and greedy, unscrupulous and over
bearing beyond the Bourbons and Hapsburgs,
the Philips and Charleses of bygone days, she
is not a nation-only an overgrown army, a
horde Of brigands too strong for their civilized
neiohbors !" that ''our barbarous South,

the face of Christendom, may justly call
across the ocean to the black eagle, Art thou,
too. become as one with usP'" These are

Debut Of Mario Seebach-Tho Theatrical
Season.

Season.
The celebrated German tragfdiennc, Marie
Seebach, was very warmly received by large
audience, mostly comprised of her own coun-
try people, at the Fourteenth street theatre
last night Considering that the character of
Gretchen is not quite leading part in Goethe's
dramatic poem, which was conceived with the
idea of Mephistopheles as the hero, Madame
Seebach made very splendid impression in
the two great scenes in the la st act, where the
qualities of an actress of very high order
are demanded and can be best displayed. 1t
was here, too, that the enthusiasm of the au-
dience woke up and put the seal of approba-
ton upon the df6utante. Another evidence
of how sterling worth is valued in this COM
munity was the cordial recognition of See
bach's tragic power as exhibited in the chapel
scene and the final mad scene last night, than
which nothing could have been finer. We
have no doubt that in all the theatres where q
high class of the drama is represented by re-
spectacle talent in the present season the
patronage Of the public will be literally dis
pensed. As we have said before, the pro-
misses of really good theatrical season are
hopeful. Commencing with tragsdienne
like Seebach and an unrivalled singer like
Nilsson, we have reason to expect from the
managers such material, both in plays and
players, as can alone be acceptable to the
public.

SOME OF OUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS are dere.~
lict occasionally, or careless, as the case may
be, in furnishing the people in proper time
and through the proper channels, of thes
columns of leading newspapers, with impor-
tant documents which have to pass through
their hands in the discharge of their official
duties. There are many papers--importaU 6
bills, for instance, which are matters of puk @
record-that the people would like to KIN ,w
something about and which are often withi cid
from the leading papers, where the public can
only conveniently reach them. These rring
officials, perhaps, forget that they ovs their
positions 10 the public and that there =, some
coartesy due to them In this respect. I
