EUROPE. ‘The important intelligence from Europe which appears io the Huranp this. morning reached us by every chan. nel of communication with that part of the world which ia now open, the old and the new, the submarine and overland telegraph and mail steamship. By means of the Atlantic cable our special correspond- ents farnish a news report from England, Italy, Rusaia, Prasaia and France, dated yesterday (14th inst.), with the London and Liverpool markets of last evening.

Prussia has peremptorily rejected Napoleon's demand for the extension of the French frontier to the Rhine. ‘Tho Prassian territory alluded to will ‘‘ never be ceded to France.” ‘The war between Prussia and Bavaria is likely to be renewed on the soil of Bavaria. A Paris journal asserts that Napoleon is solely infu- enced by a desire to preserve the peace of Kurope, and denies that munitions and ma’ériel of war are being col- fected in France, Prussia 1 perfecting ler alliances with the minor States of Gormany.

Napoleon's pelitical prestige has been seriously dam- ‘aged in France by tue result of the war. Our special correspondent in London gives a very clear ‘and interesting history of the armistice negotiations. ‘The capture of Matamoros by the Mexican liberals haa been reported in Paris. Cholera is decreasing in London. ‘The English reform agitation is still continued, but the meetings partake largely of a tumultuous character. ‘The Fretich demiocracy express the most ardent hopes at their cable’ communications with the freemen of * (eo United States will serve to liberate the people of ‘@e Old World from a rule directed by “egotistical | amaiition’’ and supported by “brate force.” During a debdete in the English House of Commons, on @he Bank of Bagiond act and the money crisis, Sir 8. Northcote said the government had no desire to adhere ; Ceamviously to every detail of the act of 1844, but they ‘wore anxious not to de anything to lead to the impres- @iom that they believel the act of 1844 to bea main cause of the monetary pressure, or that it was to any material alteration of its provisions or abandonment of its principle that they wore to look fora cure. Thoy Pelioved that on the whole its principles were sound , though improvements might be possible in the machin ery to prevent a recurrence of some of the evils with which its working was attended. The Liverpool cotton market ruled drm, change in quotations, yesterday evening. At the close of business on the Stéck Exchange, Lon. don, yosterday, console were 87%, for money.

THE CITY. ‘The cholera continued to abate in this city yesterday, oaly five new cases having been reported. The sanitary report showed 946 deaths, of which 260 were from cholera. The reports from Brooklyn yesterday were cheering, and on the islands the disease appeared to havo almost disappeared. A despatch from Newport, Ky., reported no new cases of cholera yesterday. At a meoting of the Board of Health held yesterday evening, ® great deal of business was transacted. Towards the ciose of the session Dr. Crane astonished those present by rising from his seat and declaring that the cholera was not decreasing in New York Thore were cighty six deaths from cholera in Cincin- mati yesterday. Some additional revelations regarding the police mnd- die appear in the Hxnato this morning. It is stated that woveral officems have been arrested, others deprived of their shiolds, and that the Commissioners are still at work probing the whole affair, with the expectation of completely eradicating ail suspicious elements from their forco and rendering it more effective than ever. + Mr, Nathaniel ©.

Early in the morning it was known that the only element of discord, Vallandigham and Ris disorganizing followers,’ bad been shut out, and o universal feeling of gratification wes experienced by all at the intelligence, the Southern mombers expressing themsolves even more pleased than the Northerners. The monster wigwam although unfinished was used for the assem- bling of the delegates. It was only partly decorated, and it is stated that it was delayed in its erection by the intrigues of Philadelphia radicals, “Previous to the organization the delegations from Massachusetts and South Curolina entered the building arm in arm, and were greeted with tremendous cheer- ing. General John A Dix was chosen tompo- tary chairman, and acknowledged the honor in a fow remarks, which were vociforously applauded, Resolutions relative to the government of the Conven- tion were then adopted, and committees on credentials ‘and organization were appointed, when the Convention adjourned until to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Asbmun not having arrived, no doubt exists that Senator Doolittle will be made permanent President. Alexander H. Ste phons bad not arrived, and was no longer expected. The platform of the Convention will embody the same prin- ciples as the call. Governor Perry delivered a speech in the evening at the Public Assembly Rooms, in which he took tho same grounds as Governor Orr did ou Monday night. Our San Francisco despatches contain news from China to the 16th, and from Japan to the 15th of June, and from the Sandwich Islands to the 1éth of July.

The proposed banquet has been given up, but a reception will be given the President and other distinguished visitors, and a grand ‘Masical entertainment. will take place at the Opera Howse. One of the severest storms of the season swept over the Northwestern States on Saturday and Sunday last, by which the growing crops have been materially in- jured. In Minnesota the rain fell in torrants, and the country was submerged so rapidly that most of the per- sons living in the low lands had barely time to escape with their lives, and thirty persons were drowned. The de- struction of property is great, reaching probably to a hundred thousand dollars or more. Secretary McCulloch notifies the holders of certificates of deposit on temporary loan, other than those for Clear. ing House purposes, that they will ve redeemed, with imterest accruing up to August 26, and after that day they will cease to bear interest, ‘The Military Commission, at Raleigh, N. C., of which General Ruger is President, will, it is expected, try the civilian officers of the Freedmen’s Bureau against whom charges were preferred on account of General Steed- man’s report. Queen Emma, of the Sandwich Islands, was intro | duced to President Johnson yesterday at the White House, The President in a few words warmly welcomed hertothe United States, During the day she visited the Pateat Office and Smithsonian Institution. At the request of the Governor General the proroga- tion of the Canadian Parliament has beea postponed until to-day. Major Eldridge, an officer on the staff of Major General 0. 0, Howard, Comunissioner of the Freedmon’s Bureau, has made a report to the latter officer of his per- sonal observations of the workings of that peculiar insti- tution in the States of Alabama and Georgia. He reports that more rations are being issued ta the people of those States than is at all necessary, and recommonds its dis- continuance. A General European War, or a Revolution in Frai Prussia emphatically refuses to accede to the demand of Louis Napoleon tor the exten- sion of the eastern boundary of France to the Rhine. Napoleon is further informed that the territories in question will never be ceded by Prussia to France. His warlike preparations and menaces have not availed him. His cal- culations in regard to the rectification of the European balance of power have failed just at the point where he had expecied the rewards of his diplomacy to begin. Bismurek has not only checkmated him, but he feels sufficiently strong to defy him. Submission to such au- dacity is not a Napoleonic nor a French idea. Prassia must be panished for her presumption, or the French Emperor will soon find that he has fallen into disgrace among the French people, To make good his promises to them of the extension of the empire he must put his army in motien towards the Rhine, or sooner than he dreams of he may be called to grapple with the revolutionary elements of the barri- cades, He is at last pushed into that ugly dilemma in which his choice of alternatives is limited to a general European war or a revolu- tion in France. Peace in Europe, therefore, is not secured, though Austria in submission at the feet of Prussia and Italy, without a remonsirance, yields to all their demands. She scouted the peace conference proposed by Napoleon before the war, because she saw that that conference was @ snare, in which, North and South, she was set apart for apoliation. In bis letter upon this subject to his Minter for Foreign Affairs, explaining the objects and hopes he had enter- tained of this rejected conference, Napoleon feankly revealed his plana and expectations. His plans involved a pretty general recon- the views of sellers were usually above those of buyers, fence the limited business, Cotton was more active, but prices were without change. Coffee was dull changed. On ‘Change flour advanced 10¢. « 200, " was 2e. ae. highor, while corn and onte were to. lower, Pork was Grmer. Beef was unchanged. Lard was a @hale sasier, Whiskey continned dull and nominal, Broights wore heavy but more active? ‘The market for beef cattle remained without decited @hango this week, thongh prices were on the whole gathor lower, owing to continued heavy receipts and the ery unfavorable state of the weather. The range of Pricée waa stil! from 120, a 186, a I8iye., but all the cattia soll withia the range of Ihe a tke ar struction of Central Europe for the aggrandize- ment of France at the expense of Prossia and Italy and the enlargement of Italy and Prussia at the expense of Austria, He had expected the honor of reorganizing the German Bund upon the plan of his uncle’s confederation of the Rhine, and of securing this river boundary for France by that peculiar voice of the people which he has learned so well to manage through his Napoleonic system of aniversal suffrage. He has told us that his plan was thus to submit the aueation to the Germans along the Bhine whether they would remain with their brethroa or be annexed to France. Un- doubtediy under his management the Gorman vote for snnexation would be as decisive as was that of the Mexicans for Maximilian. A few days before these interesting disclos- ures, confident of the complete success of his schemes as arranged 5 in his diplomacy, must try the old imperial game of war. Assuming that he will try it, what are his prospects of success? They are exceedingly unpromising. He has a splendid army admirably equipped, and his financial establishment is in a prosperous condition. But the odds are heavily against him. The new Germanic Confederation of the North, under the new military system of Prussia, will be more than a match for him. Under the Great Frederick the little Prussian kingdom of bis day successfully fought the powerful coalition of France, Austria and other States. Her suc- cess was due to her superior military organiza- tion and the high individual training of her troops. Her late successes against Austria are due to the same causes. We have no doubt that the Prussian army at this time, in disci- pline, equipment and organization, in the in- telligence ot its soldiers, and in their unity and efficiency in the field, is far ahead of any other army in Europe. Prussia, too, in becoming the accepted head of the German family of States and Principalities, can now, if necessary, casily enlarge her army for the defence of the Rhine to a million of fighting men. How is Napoleon to meet this tremendous power rallied for the defence of the sacred soil of Germany? He cannot succeed against it single-handed, and what States are to be his allies? Austria cannot help herself, and Italy is under the most binding obligations to Prus- sia. Russia, we know, regards the nephew with the feelings of the old Holy Alliance towards the uncle, and England, we are sure, would rejoice at the opportunity for insuring his downfall. His only reliance is the Holy Father of Rome, and he can do very lithe as an ally in arms. Moreover, the Cesarism, the Roman imperialism and despotism set up by this Napoleon, as the model of good govern- ment, is distasteful to all the populations of all the nations of Europe. He is thus without s reliable foothold among the rulers or the peoples of Europe, not excepting the people of France. He has so far borne himself, in his wars and his diplomacy, like an adventurer upon his good behavior ; but let him presume to trespass upon the rights of his neighbors and they will combine to crush bim. It is probable, therefore, whether he shall choose the hazards of a continental war or the dangers of a French revolution, that the empire of the third Napoleon approaches the crisis of life or death. There are good reasons to fear that, from the necessities of his position, Europe is on the verge of a general war, and that the sun of the present Cesar of France will go down in the smoke of another Waterloo. Eftcets of the Telegraph and Present Political Aw e Press. ‘Those who read the signs of the times intelli- gently must see that current events of a re- markable character are destined ere long to completely revolutionize the newspaper press and overwhelm eventually all the small jour- nals, We refer particularly to the establish- ment of the Atlantic cable and the use to which it has been so successfully applied in bringing us into almost instantaneous com- munication with Earope. The events of yes- terday transpiring in the leading cities of the Old World—events with which the destinies of the whole continent are involved, the fiat of peace or war, the reconstruction of boundaries, the prospective fate of dynasties, the sagacious moves or the blunders of diplomatists—are laid upon our breakfast table to-day to be criticised and speculated upon. Ae far as political and commercial news is concerned we live in London, in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Florence and St.’ Petersburg, as well as in New York. Indeed we know the political events of those European centres before we read those transpiring at home, br the first thing perused in the columns of the Hrraip is the cable news, But itis only snch journals as the Henan, the Times and the Tvibune that can give this news fully and permanently. The small journals connected with the Associated Presse do not furnish it, When the despatches are brief and cost but a comparative trifle, the World, News, Sun ant Journal of Com- merce publish them, but when important intel- ligence requiring a heavy outlay arrves, they decline t accept it, and thus the readers of these journals are left in the dark, It is the expense, and not the convenience ot their read- ers, which governs their enterprise. Now itis manifest that the progress of the telegraph must materially affect all the small daily papers. As purveyors of news they will be of no account. Such papers as the Herato, the Times and the Tribune will answer all the purposes, The rest must become mere imita- tors and copyists, furnishing news, as they now furnish ideas, second hand. The existing political condition of the country will also pro- duce a complete revolution in the lesser lights of journalism, and will probably extinguish them altogether. There is now but one great inane before the people—the supremacy of conservatism or radicalism. As far as conser- vatiom is concerned, the New Yore Heravo and the Times cover the whole of that groand, and in the advocacy of radicaliam, with all its wickedness, recklessness and corruption, the ground is fully covered by the 7¥ibune. All the other papers, therefore, are of no possible use to the public. No one wants them, be- cause there is nothing to be got ont of them. They are barren fig trees that bear no fruit, [ and therefore will be ent down and onat into Of the weekly papers, Harpers’, Bon- ner’s Ledger and Tilton’s Independent are the only live journals possessing merit it possesses, the readable by reason of the boldness with which it takes hold of political questions and presents them all in s wrong light—in more senses than one converting black into white and white into black. As for papers like Frank Leslie’s, the Round Table, the Nation and the rest, there is no vitality about them. They are neither necessities nor luxuries, and their days are short in the land. Condensation is the new order of the day in newspaper literature. The history which the world is making speaks to us by the hour in brief and pithy sentences along the telegraph wire, whether through the air or under the almost fathomless waters, and no old fashioned modes of conducting newspapers can resist such arevolution as this. It will inevitably kill off all sickly things. No newspapers except those of a positive character, whether it be good or bad, can live. ‘The Philndelphian Convention and the Broad * Insuen Before the Country. The popular national mass meeting at Philadelphia perfected its preliminary or- ganization at noon yesterday, with General John A. Dix as its temporary chairman. This auspicious event took place amid un- bounded enthusiasm and was followed with the announcement that once more the representatives of the people in every State of the Union sat side by side in council. The delegates from Massachusetis and South Caro- lina were there extending to each other the hand of fellowship and once more pledging their devotion to the same country, the same flag and the Union of the States. New York welcomed the return of all those members of the family of States recently absent; the great West pointed with pride to the fact that the Mississippi valley was now united, while Penn- sylvania rejoiced that the great arch was re- stored and that she once more stood as the keystone that made it complete and perfect. The delegates from thirty-six States gathered under the roof of the same wigwam. The representatives of the ten States which were proscribed by a radical Con- gress and treated in alt its legisla- tion as though they were out of the Union, took their place around the council fire and gave unmistakable evidence that they be- longed to the same-human family. This is the first time in five years that the representatives of all the States have met together in a politi- cal convention. It is the first time sinee the close of the war that the two sections have met face to face to use their influence and raise their voice in behalf of the same cause. The bare announcement of these tacts will send « thrill of joy throughout the land. It will re- vive that latent sentiment which has been smouldering beneath the outrages and usurpa- tions of a radical Congress. It will arouse ar enthusiasm exceeding anything ever before witnessed in this country. We need no better issue to carry the elec- ¢ions this fall ‘than a comparison of the har- mony and good feeling in a body where all the States are represented with the wrangles and blood thirsty course of the radical Congress. One reminds us of the pence, prosperity and quiet which our people have labored and fought for, the other of turmoil, revolution, carnage and blood. This, after all, is the issue now presented to the people to decide ‘upon. This Convention is but the com- mencement of the uprising of the people in behalf of @ restored Union and the constitution. It is the first step in the great movement to prevent the radicals from plung- ing the nation into another war and deluging our fair fields with the blood of our citizens. In the language of General Dix, “ten States are unrepresented in the legislation of the country. It is this wrong that they, in behalf of a grent mass of our people, have assembled to protest against, and, as far as is in their power, to redress.’ This can only be done by achange of the complexion of Congress at the approaching eleetions, Te this work the Con- vention proposes to direct its efforts, that we may have once more in reality, a8 well as in theory, “one country, one flag and one Union of States.” The harmonious and auspicious commencement of the deliberations of the Con- vention confirms our belief that this much de- tired revolution in our national halls of legi+- lation will be brought about. Thus far this gathering has been a complete success. The efforts of the radical, press to. underrate its in- fluence and prejudice the public mind against this movement will fall harmless before the great facts there presented. Their attempt to ridicule it only exhibits their alarm, while the noise abont Vallandigham and the Woods is only a side play, resorted to for the purpose of diverting the public from the great questions at issue. But this will have no effect, for the issues of the hour ate so momentous, 60 broad and so ptain, that all such subterfages will fail to make an impression and will be laughed at as a weak device of the enemy. ‘The radicals cannot stay the storm in this way, for can they escape from the avalanche, which, like the glacier on the Alps, hae been long preparing for them, and of which this gathering is but the signal that it has broken loose and is now rushing forward, sweeping everything before it, The sooner the Radicals accept the fact that another great uprising of the people bas com- menced, the better it will be for them. A revolution at the coming election in certain. Its success may now be considered a fixed fact. With a disorganizing faction raling in Congress, devoting their time to ombitiering the people of one section against the other, doing all within their power to keep the country disordered, inciting riots, planning the massacre of the blacks, whom they hypo- critically wretend to worshin. levalizing Ja- i Fk only thrive during internal strife, commotion and war. Here again the issue is clearly de- fined. It is radical rule, with riots and blood- shed, profligacy and corruption, a distracted country and anarchy, ora revolution at the ballot box, “followed ‘by a united country, peace, harmony and unparalleled prosperity. Between these two conditions the people will have to choose at the approaching elections. Unless we mistake the signs of the times, unless we erroneously interpret the events now tran- spiring, there can be no doubt but that the de- cision at the polls from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakes to the gulf, will bé overwhelmingly in favor of a united country, and that peace and prosperity which our sol- diers fought for and thought they had gained when the war was over will be re-established. Tax Ramicats Joxina anp Squremma.—The radical organ of this city, the Tribune, endea- vors to throw ridicule upon the Philadelphia Convention. by enumerating all the curious characters whom it expects to see represented there, while it is evidently squirming at the | probable results. It selects for its would-be pungent commentaries the names, for instance, of Vallandigham, Fernando Wood, Henry Cley Dean, Colorado Jewett and the madcap Train. We do not suppose that the presence of any of these individuals at Philadelphia would have the least effect upon its results. There is not a reliable Guy Fawkes in the whole crowd to blow up the Convention or to do any other kind of mischief. The silly comments upon the personnel of those wo are presumed to be delegates, shows that the cadical journals have not a hole to pick in the objects and priaci- ples of the Convention, and therefore they snarl at a few of: the men who are hovering around the great Wigwam. It so happens, however, that the obnoxious parties which the radical organ most conspicuously refers to have declined to appear ss delegates in the Convention, #0 that its dismal attempt at joking is thrown away. Wood has withdrawn his claim to aseat. So bas Vallandigham, and so has Heary Clay Dean, of Iowa. As for Colo- rado Jewett and George Francis Train, they are just as sure to be buzzing about any great popular movement as flies are about a molasses barrel, and they exercise just about aa much influence upon the Convention as the fly does upon the price of molasses. Jack Hasturon’s Nigger Vorina Conven- tiox.—We perceive that a meeting is to be held to-night at the Cooper Institute to sustain Jack Hamilton's nigger voting convention. We ad- vise everybody to go, for it will undoubtedly be one of the most ridiculous and humbugging as- semblies ever got up either by the long haired water drinking radicals of the Greeley stripe or the strong cock-tail radicals of the Hamilton siripe. By all means hear what the drunken or sober orators can say as to why three mil- lions of ignorant negroes should govern the South and eight millions of white people be reduced to the condition of slaves.
