Chronicle... Intelligencer. THE THREATENED EUROPEAN WAR. The arrival ofthe next steamer from Europe is looked for with considerable imterest, as it 18 probable, from the tenor of the late news, that she will bring intelligence of the com- mencement of actual hostilities. The with- drawal of the Austrian Minister from Berlin, and the departure of the Prussian Minister from Vienna, not only indicate this, but it is not likely that Austria will forbear to resent Stonce the action of Prussia, which power trians being virtually pushed out of that ter- ritory. Besides, Austria had given notice that the Estates of Holstein should be convened at Itzeboe, but the Prussians had forcibly pre- vented the meeting, and arrested the Commis- | sioner, a chief officer of the Estates. The old Holstein Government under the Austrians was broken up, and a new Provisional Gov- ernment for both Duchies was established by | the Prussians. It is, therefore, possible that Austria will follow up this measure by a de- cisive blow In Italy. too, preparations are active, and Garibaldi is threatening an invasion of the | Switzerland has called out | Southern Tyrol the firs: reserve of her army, to defend the passes of the Alps towards Italy: and Kossuth has is-ued an address to the Hungarians, ad- vising them to hold themselves in readiness for whatever may occur In the meantime, Louis Napoleon, with his usual caution, says little, but stands ready to avail himself of any opportunity to strengthen his position, and aggrandize France, by the annexation of the Khine provinces, or any otber slice of territory which may fall to his share in the general scramble. In his letter recently read to the Corps Legislatif in refer- ence to the proposed conference, which failed, he says that he would have been opposed to any territorial aggrandizement by France as long 3s the peace was maintained and Euro- pean equilibrium was undisturbed. We may safely imfer from this that peace not being maintained, France will make all she can out of the misfortunes of her neighbors. THE FREEPMEN IN KENTUCKY. The Chiet Medical Officer of the Bureau of Retugees, Freedmen, &c.. having addressed a cireular toeach of the Districts, requiring a report to be made as to whether the civil au- thorities have adopted any measures with a view of providing for the sick and destitute Fieedmen, and requesting the opinion of the Officers and Surgeons in charge of districts. whether the proper time had not yet arrived f r the discontinuance of the Medical Department of the Bureau, the following information was received, together with much other matter of sreat interest to this valaable branch of the Government —The Superintendent of the sub- district of Louisville, miucky, states that Freedmen’s Sanitary missions are being organized in almest every considerable town im the State. The civil authorities have not yet adopted the proper measures for the care of the sick and destitute freedmen in any city or county of the commonwealth. A law was ‘opted by the Legislature at its last session taxing all male negroes over 18 years of age $2 per capita for school and pauper purposes, but pa Tequire one year yet before the act takes effect.

Mr. Morrill offered an amendment, disfran- chising those who left the District voluntarily tojenter the rebel service. Mr. Brown, of Mo., expressed himself as opposed te the permanent disfranchisement of those who had taken part in the rebellion. He believed that universal suffrage would render the rebel votes inneccuous, and was the only mode of reconstruction that would give us safety hereafter. He did not wish suffrage to be thus restricted, or by educational qualifica- uons, or by property qualificstions. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Morrill moved further to amend by add- ing after the werds elections therein, the words “and who can read the Constitution of the United States in the English language and write his name” Mr. Pomeroy objected to the word English. There were many Germans in his State who could write their names in German but not in English. He did not think the ability to write in the ish language a tést of patriotism. Mr. Wilson also objected to a distinction which would operate against citizens of for- eign birth. Mr.. Morrill held that the English language was the language of our country, aud every voter should be able to read or write it . Mr. Grimes was opposed to the amendment, as also Mr. Sumner. After some further debate, the amendment was lost by a vote of 15 to 19. Mr. Willey offered an amendment striking out the first section of the bill, and in lieu thereof inserting a provision that in elections hereafter to be held in the District of Golam- bia the following described persons, and these only, shall have a right to vote:—All persons who are actual residents and who were entt- tled to vote in 1565; all persons who have been duly mastered out cf the United States ser- vice, or may hereafter be mustered out, and previously resided in the District one year, all male citizens of the United States 21 years of age, excepting paupers, persons non compos mentis, OF persons convicted of an infamous offence, who being residents of the ward or District in which they vote, shall have resided there for one year next preceding any election, and who shall have paid the taxes assessed against them, and who.can read and write their names. Mr. Willey proceeded to address the Senate at length upon his amendment. iS SMUGGLING ON THE NORTHEEN FRON- TERS HEBN FRON Much has been said concerning the system of smuggling which has of late years been carried on along our northern frontier. State. ments, so frequently made, that this manner of defrauding the Government revenue is being rapidly suppressed have been denied by those residing near the Canada border. We bave recently had an opportunity versing with a gentleman connected customs ith the who is eminently well qualified to express an opinion with reference to this sub- ject. He states with confidence that smug- «ling has greatly diminished within the pres- ent year. The operations of txose who still persist in their attempts to sustain this Ulicit traffic are chiefly confined to the few points which afford the greatest facili- ties for the purpose, and even at these points there is a marked decrease. He attributes this great success in the efforts of the Government to break up smuggling to the following causes: first, and mainly to the increased vigilance of the Custom officers, who are wrought up to the greatest activity by con- stant orders and instructions from the Com- missioner of the Bureau : also, to the increased liability to seizure, caused by the late Fenian raids. as scarcely a boat or vehicle can now cross the border without being subject to a strict surveillance. Uur informant is of the be ocsogge however, that smuggling, to be kept down, shouid re- ceive tne unremitted attention of the most ex- perienced and zealous officers, for as soon as the present vigilance relaxes, so soon will smuggling speedily revive. THE BETBROCESSION OF ALEXANDRIA. in the Senate to-day, Mr. Wade, from the District Committee, reported back, without amendment, the bill to repeal the act entitled ‘An act to retrocede the county of Alexan. dria, in the District of Columbia, to the State of Virginia.” The bill provides that private and personal property shall not be affected by this act, so far as the rights of parties are con- cerned; and all public property whereof the United States were possessed at the time of the retrocession of said portion of the District of Columbia to the State of Virginia shall be vested inthe United States Government: and the Government is authorized to acquire by purchase or otherwise, any and all farther property, real or personal, in said portion ot the District of Columbia as may be deemed necessary for public use. All suits of law shal). after passage of the act, be conducted according to the laws and regulations estab- lished by Congress in the District of Colum- bia. All civi! offices in the retroceded portion shall be declared vacant, and the vacancies so created shall be filled by new appointments or elections, “to be made and held under the laws, regulations, and q: ications provided by Congress for elections and electors in the District of Columbia.” THE BANKRUPT BILL. The Senate Committee met this morning to consider the Baukrupt Bill passed by the House, but did not reach any action on it. It is the general opmmion at the Capitol that a ma. jority of the committee favor the bill, and that if they can manage to have it reported the Senate will pass it. But a minority of the committee may succeed in preventing the re- porting of the bill at the present session. DISCONTINUED. The Legislature of Tennessee, by a statute adopted May 26, 1965, having made it the duty of the civil authorities of the State to provide for all pauperand sick freedmen, just the same} as for white persons, the relief establishments of the Freedmen’s Bureau, such as hospitals and dispensaries, haye been ordered to be discontinued from and after the 30th day of June.

Elliott, Chief Paymaster eee ot Le tgyperd lieved, in order to be assigne: uty prec ent, Majors O. W. Ballard and G.

Messrs. Sherman, Wilson, and Yates were Pt agar a of Vonterence on the part o: e Senate on the Army Appropria- tion bill. y_App’ ; a Mr. Sherman called up bill to aid in the fonsiruction of telegraph lines, and to secure te a2 teas the use of the same for postal, military, and other purposes. Mr. Grimes moved to amend the first section by striking out the words «That the National Telegraph Company, a corporation organized ‘under the laws of the State of New York April 16, 1966, shall have the right,” ete. and insert in lieu thereof “That any telegraph company now erganized or authorized to be organized under the laws of any State of this Union, shall have the right, ° ete. Mr. Sherman spoke in opposition to the pro- posed amendment Mr. Brown, in the course of some remarks, alluding to the recent report et the Postmaster General on the subject of telegraphing, said that in onde a the Postmasier General had shown himseif utterly incompetent for the po- sition he holds. His report was made upia great part of communications from persons interested in the great monopoiy tha: now controls the telegraphing of this country. He (the Postmaster General) had reflected more discredit on himself in this connection than perhaps bad transpired with regard to any /other officer of the Government. Men in his position heretofore had striven to advance the public interests, but he had stood in the way ofa needed reform. Mr. Sberman regretted that Mr. Brown should baye made such a personal attack upon Mr. Dennison, whom he (Sherman) knew wo have the public interests at rt. and to be as desitous as anybody of advancing them.
