Tho whole Fen‘an expedition in the vicinity of the N.ogara river is a failare. © Fenian army withdrew from Fort Erie early yes- terday morning, returning to the American shore in the Dest way they could. Thirty-two of their number were captured by the Canadians, and a large portion of the rest, Colonel O'Neill, tho commander of the expedition, among them, are prisoners in the hands of the United States authorities, The British troops occupied Fort Erie soon after the evacuation, A vexing quostion of international law has arisen re- garding the Fenian prisoners on the steamer Michigan. It ts considered unsafe to bring them into Buffalo, as the idea prevailed that an attempt would be made to release them. A demand was made by the British commander for them, but it was refused. Captain Bryson has tele- graphed to Washington for instructions. ‘The question of disposing of the prisoners held by the Canadians is also a perploxing one. Rumor says that they are to be shot immediately, hung without trial, or sent to Toronto, But nothing is known positively of the intention in regard to the fate of ths captives. It is stated that the late movement is merely a feint, and that the important move will be made immediately from another point, That point ia most likely to be Ogdensburg, the town of Prescott and the Canadian seat of government, Ottawa, being the objective points. Cornwall, Sarnia and Windsor are also expecting an at- tack at any moment, Two thousand Fenians are reported opposite St, Johna, threatening Montreal, and two or three thousand are near Cornwall. Heavy re'nforce- ments are arriving at Montreal hourly, and two British men-of-war are en route from Quebec for that point. ‘Tho Fenian camps in the vicinity of Ogdensburg and St Albans are quiet. R inforcements are arriving hourly. Tho Collector of the port at Ogdensburg re- coived instructions yesterday to provent aay crossing to Canada in his n:ighbornood. The revenue cutter Chase, carrying two Dahlgren twenty four pousders and a thirty pounder, was placed st bis dis- posal with ordors to sink any vessel carrying Fenians across the river. Every effort is being made by the @ thorities to preserve our neutrality. From every part of the country the Fenians are mus- tering for the border notwithstanding the disastrous news. Governor Fenton will not call out the militia unless the general government orders it, General Sweeny left Albany yesterday for Potsdam, near Ogdensburg. The sale of bonds atthe Reberts headquarters was quite brisk yesterday. The news of the surrender of Colonel! O'Neill was not regarded as a disaster, and the movement of men to the front went on as briskly as over. EUROPE. The steamships Hermann and Marathon arrived at this port yesterday with European advices to the 234 of May, threo days later, In Germany the war attitude was sternly mamtained, particularly by Austria, Italy remained fully armed also, ‘The prospect of a settlement by means of acon- gress had, however, improved, France, Russia and England were actively engaged in nogotiations having end in view, and it was asserted at one time that avi ations to the meeting bad been accepted by the T tants, but this wag not confirmed, So far as can be idgod it was contemplated to propose a general territo- rial rearrangement to prevall over the greater portion of the comt nut; but where the change was to be com- menced, or eaded, appeared to be the great diMculty, iitional financial failures are reported from Eng- land on hal officially explained the cause es of th> late money panic, with the posidion and action of the Bank of England, ma civc ilar addressed to the representatives of Great Britain t courts of Kurope.

The Fenian In jon—American Versus British Canadian Neutrality. Colonel O’Neill’s advanced corps of Fenians, in the absence of artillery and his ex- pected reinforcements, have returned by way of Buffalo from their Canadian incursion, and surrendered to the United States authorities. Some pickets at Fort Erie, covering the re-em- barkation, are reported as having fallen into the enemy’s hands, This was one of the hazards of the venture; but this and all other Canadian drawbacks and difficukies have been mere trifles in the way of the Fenians. The one great obstruction which has baffled them at every point and defeated their plans.so far has been the vigilant neutrality of the United States civil and military authorities, In this the government has been rendering to England and Canada good for evil in a most remarkable degree. Canada, for instance, during our civil war, was the chosen ren- dezvous of the most diabolical conspirators, assassins, robbers, traitors and incendiaries, concerned in our’ late rebellion. Their head- quarters were at Montreal, and ber Majesty’s provincials, officials and most influential sub- jects generally sympathized, and aided and abetted or winked at the infamous plots and cutthroat and incendiary adventures of those agents of the rebellion “on detached service.” This was British and Canadian neutrality. Now a Fenian organization in the United States, devoted to the liberation of Ireland, under- takes descent from our borders upon Canada, in view of a base of operations for their grand design. They have the sympathies of the American people, and the Canadians have no claim upon us for reciprocities of neu- trality. But the government, regardless of English and Canadian perfidy, adhering rigidly and vigilantly to its neutral obligations, inter- poses for the rescue of Canada from these Fenians, se‘zes their arms, stores and munitions of war, and watches every crossing against them as zealously as if they were rebel gueril- Ias operating against New Jersey. This is American neutrality; and it presents a striking contrast to English and Canadian neutrality. Had Mr. Seward adopted the late nentral policy of Lord John Russell the Fenians ere this would have been in occupation of Mon- treal. As it fs, they have shown to England that her retention of Ireland, as well as her North American possessions, depends hence- forth upon her good conduct towards the United States. The active repressive measures of the government, meantime, we presume will convince General Sweeny that more time and a more deliberate and comprehensive organiza- tion will be necessary to enable him to pass our frontiers and concentrate at any point over the border with a force sufficient for a promis- ing lodgment on the other side. We know nothing of his plans, but we suppose that like Joe Johnston, when he found that it was all up with Pemberton at Vicksburg, he will fall back with his central column in good order. Head Centre Stephens now should lay aside the character of the Great Mogul and take a calm and common sense view of the Fenian situation. The réle of Kossuth in this country is not the thing. Unity, a place and a time are as necessary to any great enterprise as “ finon- cial and material aid.” England’s difficulty will be Ireland’s opportunity, and nothing else wil] serve the purpose of Ireland’s liberation. That difficulty will some day come, and then, if | the Irish are united, in whatever part of the globe they may be, they may strike an effective blow and return to the absolute possession of ‘4 | their green island as surely as the united Jews | wJl some day return and rebuild the waste places of Zion.

Ingtead of that we find matters in pretty nearly the same state of suspense in which they previously stood. The attitude of tho different Powers involved in the quarrel! continués to be that of active preparation. Among other things it is stated that arrangements are being made at Ancona for the reception of a fleet of forty ships of war which are expected at that port. Taking the general complexion of the news, however, it would seem to be rather more favorable to the interests of peace. The ap- proaching elections in Prussia may exercise some influence on the reckless course of Count Bismark, and we find that anticipat‘on strengthened by the fact that at a congress of German Deputies held at Frankfort on May 20 a resolution was adopted condemning a war, and declaring guilty of grave crimes towards the nation those who might contribute to bring about one. The resolution furthermore states that a solution of the federal constitutional question can alone prevent the recurrence of such dangers, and it calls upon the Chambers and the German nation generally to require the speedy convocation of a German Parliament on the basis of the Electoral law of 1849. All thia is significant, and may tend to check the war- like disposition of both Prussia and Austria. But it must not be forgotten that Italy is also a party involved, and that all her passions and interests urge her on to the precipitation of hostilit'es, Her government has gone too far to recede without the full attainment of the ob- jects for which it has armed, and it cannot re- strain her people if it would. Asan evidence of the obstacles which this view of the case pre- sents toa peaceable solution of the question, we have it stated by the Florence journals that in no event is it admissibie that a European guarantee shall be given for the maintenance of the temporal power of the Pope. Nothing is said about Venice, for the ‘very sufi- cient reason that the Italians have made up their minds that its cession to them, by pur- chase or otherwise, must be the sine gua non of their consenting to the proposed congress. In the meanwhile we have it authoritatively stated that the invitations for this diplomatic convocation have been issued. Itis proposed to hold itin Paris, and England, France and Russia are the inviting parties, Tho Constity- tionnel says that these courts seek conditions of agreement in territorial compensation, which would offer indemaities and satisfaction to the claims of Prussia, Austria and Italy. Is any one simple enough to suppose that the media- ting Powers will seek no advantages for them- selves in this accommodation of interests? The whole scheme is in fact simply a re-enactment of the political game played in 1815, with this exception, that France now holds the trump cards in her hands. That Napoleon will play them to the full satisfaction of his dynastic wrongs and to the benefit of France no one can doubt. The quarrel has from the begin- ning been manipulated to this end. The Em- peror’s speech at Auxerre is evidence enough of the fact. But the question is whether, ap- preciating bis mocves, the Austrian and Prus- sian governments will not prefer trusting their dispute to the issue of war, rather than to the chances of a spoliation of their own territory by a diplomatic arrangement. On this turns the whole issue at present. Our own view is, and we shall be surprised if the course of Aus- tria and Prussia does not sustain it, that it will be better for them to trust to the fortunes of war than to the tender mercies of an arbiter whose memory is vindictive, and who is intent on securing the lion’s share in his division of the spoils. Rariroap Frwanctat Orsrarions 1 Lonpox.— Lord Redesdale, in a recent speech in the House of Lords, made some extraordinary statements in regard to the operations of some of the large houses which have recently failed in London. Among the statements made on that occasion was the fact that the parties negotiating for the extension of a railway line issued two hundred dollars’ worth of fall-paid stock on the payment of one hundred and five dollars. In this manner about three millions was raised, at the sacrifice of a little over two millions and a half. From Lord Redesdale’s remarks it appears that this transaction was heralded at the time as one of the most success- fal operations ever made by the firm which had it in charge. But this has been eclipsed by ne- gotiations of a later date, in which a little over three millions of dollars was raised at the sac- rifice of over eight millions. That the firm which raised funds at this ruinous rate should snceumb at the first depression of the market is no more than ‘might be expected. The won- dor is how it was possible that a system so reck- less could ever stand, even in the absence ot rumors of war to disturb the finances. It looks very much as though the panic had nothing to do with the failure of the parties engaged in conducting this extraordinary negotiation, but that the war news was taken as an excuse to fail; that it was the pretence used to cover up the real cause of the insolvency of the con- cern. Panic or no panic, war or no war, there must have been an end, sooner or later, to banking houses where the business was con- ducted on those ruinous rates. ‘The fact that such things have been devel- oped in London sugmesis the proba- bilities of the same system of tactics being carried on in this country, Who can tell but that financial operations are now being conducted here on the same or a simt- Jar bovis and that some fine morning Wall street will be startled at the collapse of bank- ing houses whose extensive business and repu- tation have been equal to those of the firms recently failed in London? The collapse of the National Bank at Washington and that of a banking house in this clty connected with the banks in the oil region give at least a proba- bility to the repetition of the same thing in our midst, Hetr ror rus Sovra.—A pressing appeal to the benevolence of the North has just been mado from Alabama for a supply of food for the people there, who, it appears, are in @ starving condition. The sufferings of these poor people are described as terrible and be- oomaing worse every day. Alabama probably scffered more severely by Wilson's raid than the other Stats did from Sherman's march. It will be remembered that vast stores of provi- signa, which hed been laid up at different depots for future use, were all burned, and therefore the scarcity of fond, pending the ,athering of the pssent growing crop, is. very great. As a matter of policy, as well as humanity, we ought te send speedy aid to Alabama, The sooner | the terrible distress now existing is relieved the sooner we will be able to reap advantages from the cultivation of the soil and the devel- opment of all the resources of the State. A very large emigration is now tending in that direction, but the new comers will for some time be consumers and not producers, which renders the scarcity of food a greater miafor- tune, requiring more’ speedy relief. The bo nevolence of our citizens was never appealed to in vain, and we trust it will respond on this pressing occasion. ‘The Effect of a War Upon the Fimanctal Condition of Europe and the United States. If there be war in Europe it is likely to be on @ vast scale and a very expensive one. All great wars in modern times are made at immense cost and necessarily upon credit. This country accumulated a debt of threo thousand millions of dollars within the short period of four years. This, as'Mr. Gladstone remarked, “is something wonderful”—is some- thing, perhaps, which no other country is capable of accomplishing. In the total amount it is three-fourths as large as the debt of Great Britain, and the amonnt of yearly interest is greater. Yet, while the debt of England and the debts of other European nations are very burdensome and threaten in the end the most s2rious consequences, ours is borne without difficulty and could be paid within one genera- tion. It is based upon the almost boundless resources of a vast virgin continent and an un- paralleled productive power, We have no cause for apprebension on account of this debt either as to our present or future condition, and we suppose no one is disturbe4 aout {t, Tho Bfitish Chancellor of ihe Exchequer, speaking upos this subject, said:—“If we look at the position of thé 4oa'ry which has to bear the burden, I must confess that I think the future of America, as far as finanéa is cen- cerned—political problems are not now in question—will not be attended with any em- harrassment. I do not believe the debt will constitute any difficulty for the American peo- ple.” But what is the situation of European nations under their debts? and what will be the con- sequence of a greatand an expensive war? One statesman in Europe has had the hardi- hood to lay bare some startling facts to the people on this subject. Mr. Gladstone shows that nearly all the great nations of Europe and many of the small ones aro overwhelmed by debt. The aggrogate of these debis amounts to about oleven thousand five hundred millions of dollars, or four times the amou.t of our debt. That is, besides the debt of England, which is four thousand millions, the debts of the conti- nental nations amount to seven thousand five hundred millions. This has been increasing at the yearly rate of three hundred millions during « time of peace. These nations, infact, have thus declared themselves to be in a bankrupt condition, not being able to make their means meet their expendi- tures, and being obliged to borrow continually. This being so in time of peace, what will be the case in such an exhausting and tremendous war as that which now theeatens Europe? It is possible that moncy may be raised at ruinous rates and by arbi- trary power, but what will be the e1d? What condition will it leave the people, their pro- perty and their indust-y in? The burden is heavier than they can bear at present, as is seen by their increasing debts during peace, and the additional weight must crush them to the earth. England bas become alarmed at the frightful spectacle. She begins to look to the tuture when her coal mines may fail, her commerce be eclipsed and her moneyed power be transferred to another country. That proud nation, which regulated the balance of power in Europe for # long time, and which broke down the colossal military power of the fitat Napoleon by her wealth, now abdicates that dominion and sacrifices her pride to save herself from a worse evil. She sees the need of peace and further commercial and industrial development, in order that she may not only not increase her debt, but that she may pro- vide for paying it before the evil days come, when the scepire of commerce must pass from her hands. Almost all the wars of Europe spring from dynas- tie ambition and ambition for empire. ‘That is the case in the war now threatened and that will continue to be the case. The wealth of the people and the industry of the present generation and future generations will be mortgaged to the utmost extent to gratify this ambition. The rich will be heavily burdened and the poor will become poorer. Such is the present state of things and the prospect in the Old World. How will this affect the American continent and especially the United States? While war is impending and at the first shock we shall suffer to a limited extent. The immediate ne- ceasities of European nations may draw from us all the means and specie that can be drawn under the circumstances. In a panic conse- quent upon such a state of things every one endeavors to save himself, just as persons ina shipwreck do. Our commercial relations with Europe are so extended that we must feel to some extent disastrous occurrences there. We see already a heavy drain of gold trom this port. Itis possible, too, that the pressure upon us may continue for a little time. This, how- ever, need not create any alarm. We have a large reserve of specie, and our growing crop of cotton and other produce, with what we have on hand, together with the regular production of the precious metals, will be ample to supply the drain upon us or balances against us, The préssure itself will have the tendency to check excessive importa- tions and to keep us in a healthy financial condition. But there is a broader and highly interesting view of this matter which should not be lost sight of. A great and exhausting war in Europe, with the enormous burden of debts that cannot be paid or the interest met, will turn an immense tide of immigration, skilled and productive labor and capital to the United States, As soon as the first panic shall ‘be over the people will look to this great and prosperous country asa refuge from the storm and as the proper country in which to employ their industry and capital. We may confident- ly look not only for a vast tide of the labor- ing population, such as has been flowing here for some time past, butof the moneyed and this country affords both the most profitable end seoure investments for their mopar. The debt Europe is the more will her people am Capital flow hore. If there be peace in Europe we shall continue to advance, and war will sot is beyond the corftro! of events there.
