King Victor Emanu Repulse from the Austrian Quadrilateral, It is not a matter of surprise that tho Italion army, under King Victor Emanuel, has been signally defeated in venturing to beard the Austrian in his famous Quadrilateral. Tho King himself cannot be astonished at the result of bis rash adventure. But {tis difficult from ficta or conjectures to make up a plausible th: ory in justification of the movement. The Quadrilateral embraces an area of some twenty miles square, between the Mincio and the Adige rivers, This little plot of ground is defended at its angles, on the two rivers, by four fortresses, or rather by four strongly for- tfled cities or towns—Peschiera, Mantua, Legnago and Verona—commanicating with exch other by railway, Within this inclosure, which is no’hing less than a vast entrencled cimp, the Austrians, including their garrisons, had gathered several weeks before the late ba'- tle a military force estimated at two hundred A bailoon trip which presents some novel fatares in the sc ence of mronautics 13 doscribed in another culumn, Professor Lowe, by nis experiment on the water, on on this occasion, has tebbed ballooning of much of its terrors to the anmitiated, A boy was robbed of $2,100 In gold at the Custom Tose yestowdiy, while In the very act of transferring tho money to the cashier, The thief, whom the boy says he can identify, administered © loroform to him Gnd ho fell prostrate om the floor, lying insensible for half an hon The investigation over the bady of Colonel Frazer, who wa: k Hod in No. 136 Fulton street, on Friday evening, was resumed by Coroner Naumann yesterday.

The Italians know this ; they had learned what this Quadrilateral was in 1848, and thoy krew that the Austrians had been enlarging and strengthening its de- fences ever since King Victor Emanuel had participated in the splendidly successful French and Italian campaign of 1859, and he could not have forgo'ten the other day the reasons which induced Louis Napoleon to halt at the Mincio and make with Austria the peace of Villa Franca, Aftor the decisive victories of Monte- bella, Palestro, Magenta and Solferino, and with the victorious allied army of French and Italians around him, exceeding two hundred thousand men, Napoleon stopped his pursuit of the badly cut up and retreating Austrians a! the Mincio, becauso, in entering the Quadri- lateral he saw that the war would assume ‘arger proportions than he was then prepared tomect. And yet with this instructive lesson of caut'on to guide him, the fighting King of Taly, with some eighty or ninety thousand men, rashly crosses the Mincio and gives battle to an Anstrian army of two or three times his strength and within a hollow square in which the Austrian is supported by four of the strongest fortifiel camps in Europe. It is diffl- cuit, then, to answer the question, what was the object of the King of Ituly in this bold and dangerous experiment? It may have been in- tended as a diversion to enable Cialdini, with his sixty or seventy thousand men, to cross the river Po below Mantua, and thus flank the Quadrila‘eral on the south side and get to Venice ia that direction, with the support of the King’s powerful floct in the Adriatic. This is the only solution approaching a reasonable strategic purpose that we can give. It appears, too, trom Austrian official.reports that Cialdini bad suceseded in crossing the Po, on the 23d, at Polesclla, This might have proved an im- por‘ant achievement had the King succeeded only in reaching and destroying the raflroad between Verona and Mantua, but with his de- olsive repulse all the combinations depending upon him suffered. Thus, as the King could not very well go round, after his defeat, to the support of Cialdim, there would be no other alternative left to Cialdini than to recross the river and join the King against a possible pursuit or flauuk movement by the Austrians, In his attempt to carry the Quadrilateral the fighting King of Italy recalls the rash experi- ment of General Burnside azainst the stone walls on the heights of Fredericksburg ; and rominds us also of the unfortunate tactics of “figh'ing Joo Hooker” at Chancellorsville. In this comparison, however, we are sorry to say there is a largo balance in favor of the Ttallan ; for while “fighting Joe Hooker” fought for three days without being able to bring more than one-third of his army into action, the fighting King of Italy was thus ombarrasred only for one day, when he safely got buck over the river, We should judge that after his bard day’s fight, in losing only some two thousand mn as prisoners, he got of very well—nol worse for wear and tear than General Lee from the batile of Antictam. The Austrians of the Quadrilateral will most probably remain on the defensive; for fear that in pursuing the Italians into their own terri- tories, Napoleon may find an excuse for armod intervention, to the end that he may resume his work of Italian unity at the point whore it was suspended in 1859. The London Times strenuously pleads for the intervention of diplomacy, whereby Tialy my be givon the beautiful province of Venetia, and peace may bo secured in that quarter, so that Austria may be enabled to throw her whole streng!h against Prussia and speedily bring her to reasonable terms, But Napoleon, we suspect, will not act upon any such suggestion. He and Bismarck have an understanding between themselves, for the benefit of France and Prussia, on the Rhine and the Elbe, regardless of the German balance of power which feudal England may desire to Fertore to feudal Anstrin. It is this apprehen- sion which has caused Anstria to play in this contest the game of forbearance ant caution, and injared Innocencs, Se | aay excuse to Nanoleon for in ishea to avoid rvention: but NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1866. even as the lam» in this quarrel! she will hardly escape. King Victor Emanuel is bold, because he knows that Italy’s danger will be Napoleon’s opportunity; but still, should England and Prussia urge upon Austria as @ peace measure the surrender of Venetia to Italy, Napoleon and Bismarck may both be outwitted in their cunning but magnificent scheme of territorial aggrandizement. Political Condition of England, The disturbance caused in Europe by the three States actually at war secms to be elec- trical. Or, perhaps, it would be better to say, that there is a general and simultaneous cause of disturbance in the Old World, and that this outbreak of war with Austria, Prussia and Ituly is the firat and natural development of a revolutionary upbeaval. England, conserva- tive and cautious England, as well as the con- tinent, feels the universal movement, The Rus- sell ministry was forced by popular sentimen’ to take up the question of Parliamentary re- form. The progress of ideas and the spirit of the age bad penetrated the working classes of England, and stimulated them to demand the suffrage trom which they are excluded. The | ministry took up the question under this pres- sure, to prevent disturbances or a revolutionary movement, but with the natural conservative instinct which governs all parties in power there, resolved to concede as little as possible to the maases of the people. Hence all the fuss and noise we have heard about a twenty-pound, ten-pound and a six-pound suffrage, and about a suffrage based on rental or taxation. There was no earnest wish to popularize the constitu- encies, or to enlarge the democratic element of government in Englund. The question was one simply of expediency, and to be avoided if possible. Earl Russell and his col- leagues, except, perhaps, Mr. Gladstone, had no heart in it, consequently they trittere: away thelr power and the whole question by hair-splitting and cumbrous details. It became impossible for this ministry to carry any mea- sure of reform. The bill was defeated on a vote in the House of Commons, and thereupon the ministry resigned. The Queen finally ac- cepted the resignation of the Russell ministry ; and according to tho last news the country was anxi usly awaiting the formation of a now one, No party, however, has positively declared against reform. Neither Earl Derby, the leader of the opposition, norany of bis party, have ventured to take such bold ground in defiance of public sentiment. The opposition has de- teated the Russell ministry, first, because it wanted the offices, and next, because that min- istry had lost the sympathy of the people through its weak and temporizing course. Should Earl Derby come into power, as he pro- bably will, either with a coalition ministry, or one mide up purely from his own conservative party, he may try to evade the question of re- form, bat he will not be able to do so long. He will either have to ignore his old tory prin- ciples, and, like Sir Robert Peel with the Corn laws, propose the very measure he has been opposing, or his term of offize will be short. The condition of England is somewhat like that of France in 1787, when the liberal idons of that country and of Europe began to act upon the government of Louis XVI. The old aristocracy, with all the conservativ® elements of the kingdom, were arrayed against the progressive ideas of the age. The conflict was intense; one ministry succeeded another rapidly; but all were imbued with the sprit of the past. None realized the extraordinary revolution that had taken place in men’s minds and that was spreading at the greatest rate. The King, his court, and the old aristocracy thought they -could arrest the progress of popular ideas by resistance, or by such small concessions os were altogether inadequate to the views and expectations of the people. They made a fatal mistake. After several changes of ministry and a few years of hopeless conflict, the mighty revolution came like an avalanche and buried both the monarchy and aristocracy in ruins, The English monarchy and aristocracy are more caut.ous and sagacious, and have the benefit of these historical facts to warn them against danger. The people of England, too, are not 80 impulsive as the French, and are slower to move. But excessive conservatism isapt to be blind, and the privileged classes of England may resist popular rights too long and too per- sistently. The revolutionary spirit is abroad ; it is now upheaving society all over the conti- nent; universal suffrage and popniar rights are the elements of progress throughout the world. England cannot escape the movement. We may expect to see great agitations and changes of government in that country. It will depend upon the wisdom and foresight of her states- men as to what may be her fate—whether sho will pass through peaceful political changes, agreeable to the demands of the people and the spirit of the age orbe involved in violent revolutions, as France was. The present, un- doubtedly, is a critical period in her history. A Fenyr Reront—Bormo ror On.—A ro- port has been presented to the Common Coun- cil in favor of stripping Fifth avenue of its im- posing stoops, beautiful shade trees and ele- gant court yards. It is supposed to be the off- spring of the brain of Mr. George H. Purser, as it bears the native marks of modesty usually attached to the official productions of that por- sonage. As he lately etigmatized a descendant of one of our oldest and most respectable Knickerbocker families as 9 “foreign ariato- erat,” in this report he applies to many highly esteemed citizens who oppose this lobby black mall attempt upon residents of Fifth avenue the most disgracetul aspersions, He pro- nounces them “earnest in forgetting their own equivocal position,” “determined to retain what did not belong to them,” which he regards as “the true principle of their success in life,” and, as we infer his opinion to be, they desire to moke this act their “crowning glory.” He speaks of citizens of the avenue, ata hearing before the committse, “confounding the gross eat impertinence and an srrogant deportment with good taste and gentlemanly courtesy;” declares their conduct to be “creditable to the education, taste and intelligence of citizens at several ‘points’ of our city that might be ny mod, but not to those who assume to be ‘ex- amples’ and ‘modele.’” Without stopping to inquire as to what style of elegant literature this langunge is an “example” or a “model,” Wwe must regard it, as an cffusion omanating from a once bitter English radical and levelled against a bigh and influential class of Amori- can citizens, as capping the climax of impu- | dence. It is strange thata disciple ot Fanny | | Wright, who has ignored the possibility of « | blisstul hereafter, should at this late day attempt to deprive our citizgns of the blessings of anything approaching a paradise on earth, Parser bas won some distinction and cash as a lobbyist, and as he is now lobbying against such a rich locality as the Fifth avenue there is no harm in supposing him to be “boring tor oil.” of the Wa The defeat of tho Italian troops under Victor Emanuel in the great Austrian stronghold of the Quadrilateral at the very ou'set of the war may have an unexpected influence upon the revolutionary elements which are here and there still latent in Italy, and which may intro-; duce some new phases into the present great European struggle. If, for instance, the machi- nations of the Bourbons in Naples, stimulated by the temporary disaster of the King of Italy, should assume a formidable contented politicians of the States of the Church should avail themselves of the occasion to gain advantage for the Pope’s temporal power in his present etraitened and somewhat dubi- ous condition, Victor Emanuel would find a difficulty in his rear which might prove highly embarrassing, And yet these are cireumstances which jare not uglikely to ocour, The united kingdom of Italy does not embrace within its prestige and popular enthusiasm the whole pe- ninsula, There are latent ideas and discon- tents in the Roman States and in the dominions of the Bourbons that might be developed into dangers should the opportonity present itself ; and it is thus that any disaster to the arms of Victor Emanuel may call up a revolutionary demonstration, of which we would probably hear the first whisperings from tho agents of Lonis Napoleon in Rome. Whatever may be the issue of tho present contest in Europe, it is certain that Prassia now represents the progress of modern European ideas, while Austria and the States of tho Church are the representatives of all that ro- mains of the old imperial construction of Char- lemagne. Tho father of imporialism in Europe created two empires—one in Sonthern Eu- rope, representing religion ond stagna- fion in the person of the Pope, and one in Germany, which was a political empire, and became the nursery of progressive ideas. Prussia to-day, as an integral part of the Ger- man Confederation that we bave seen s0 ro- cently dissolved, is the type of modern pro- gression, as far as Europe comprehends that term; while Austria is the embodiment of the old feudal idea, time-worn, church-ridden and almost effete. Prussia, in a word, is the great vital Power of Germany. Austria is the dry bones of German civilization. In the struggle for mastery In Central Europe this line of de- marcation is very distinctly drawn in the sym- pathies extended by the smaller German Pow- ers to each of the rivals. The progressive States favor Prussia, the non-progressive aro with Austria, and new Italy is f.und, as might be expected, on the stde of progression. There can be little doubt, however, that dnnger lurks in the rear of the armies of the King of Italy. He seems to have fallen into a great military error at the outset by risking an attack upon the overwhelming forces of Aus- tria in her strongest position. Future events may throw more favorable light upon his strategy, but just now it does ngt look like good. generalsbip, and may expose him to serious complications. of a revolutionary character in Naples and Rome. Even the in- effective attempt at Madrid is a straw which shows how the wind of popular sentiment is blowing. England is going through a species ut revolution in the present ministerial crisis, Napoleon is endeavoring to keep his dynasty intact by a stand-still policy. He knows how to give his people just that amount of freedom which is safe for them and for him, and, above all, he bas the bappy faculty of knowing how to manage an election. Bismarck, in his effort to tollow the same course, upon the sagacious promptings of Napoleon, may go a step too far in the promulgation or the promise of uni- versal suffrrge in Prussia. A two-edged sword in the bands of an unskilful master is a dan- gerous weapon. Upon the whole, theelements of change are looming up in European society. Crowned heads may make great wars, but the people can make great revolutions, Without predicting such a result from the present con- flict, wo are prepared to witness it without sux prise, Someruma Goop Ovr or Nazanern.—We have never known & public officer who pre- sented in a more striking degree the character- istics of Robespierre and Danton combined than our present Secretary of War, Mr. Stan- fon. The French revolutionists were cruel, stubborn and remorseless, and defied all laws not created by themselves and their revolu- tionary tribunals. Stanton’s iNegal acts are sufficiently numerous to fill a good sized vol- me. His quality of mercy is so strained that it is never to bo discerned in the performance of any official duty, and ho acoms to gloat in an opportunity to inflict coud.gu panishment upon an offender. We have to congrainlate him, therefore, upon an official act which will prove a terror to similar cvil doers for some time to come, He has ordered the summary enforcement of the decision of a court martial in the case of a paymaater in the United States Army who transferred without authority a large amount of public money from one bank to another, from a sound to an unsound one— if any of the national banks are sonnd— whereby the government became a heavy loser. The fair record of the paymaster, who had previously disbursed five hundred millions of the public money without the loss of a cent to the government, very properly had no weight with Mr. Stanton, who, with the firm ness of the Romain who condemned his own son to death, hurried the misguided paymaster to the cell of a condemned criminal. Horo is an example of official promptitude and stern- ness well deserving of imitation In other de partments of the government. But let Mr. Stanton go a step further, and nacortnin who were the persons who have made this paymas- ter their scapegoat, Lot them be brought for. ward and be dealt with as the cause of public Justice shall demand. How is it in the offlee of the United States Attorney General? How is it in the Treasury Department or the Post- master Gencral’s Department? How is it fn Congress, with its whitewashing investiga Ing commitices and mammoth jobs that re- quire the strength of a lobby Hercules to carry through? How is it in the case of a detaultor, like Fowler, who expended the pub- lic money in riotous living and corrapt party trckory, and yet is invited to an ovation by the official act of the government authorities? What an anomaly! A poor paymisier, with but a single blot upon ‘an otherwise pure record, is sent to prison, while a confessed do- faulting officer in one of the most important and responsible ‘places in the government is welcomed to a feast and is expeoted to be re- cvived with unbounded rejoicings! When will we find in the Treasury and other depart ments, and in Congress, men who will, like Stanton, haye the courage and the honesty to protect the public treasure from depredations? Truly, the morals of our Officials aro in a very bad state, Tox Navat Orricer anp Generat, Grant's Oruions.—A great deal of fuss has been made by the newspapers about the candi- dates for the position of Naval Officer, to fill the vacancy ocoasioned by tho death of Mr. Odell, and various names have been used in connection with it. We are authorized to state that General Sickles, for instance, is not @ candidge for that office. A good deal has been sald also about General Grant's political opinions as represented to havo becn expressed by him upon different questions, not one of which have a word of truth in them. General Grant is not a candidate for the Presidency as bas been stated. On the contrary, he is content to enjoy the honors bestowed upon him and so well earned, as a great soldier, and leaves the chief mag! to some future time, if he should aspire to it. Again it has been reported over and over that General Grant strongly urged the appointment of Colonel Hillyer to the post of Naval Officer of this port, which is so far from being true that we are informod on very good authority from Washington that when applied to by telegram from Colonel Hillyer’s friends his answer was that “he would not recommend any new resident over the heads of old citizens, and that it was great presumption on the part of those who made the request to ask him to do so.” So much for what is published as General Grant's polilioal views.
