The news from Europe which we publish this morning, via the Atlantic cable, indicates that in conjunction with the ultimatum of Prussia relative to-the Rhine frontier, which we had previously received, war is imminent between Prussia and France. Napoleon, we are told, has withdrawn his demand on the Cabinet of Berlin; but it remains to be seen whether he acquiesces in good faith to the stern neces- sity imposed on him by Bismarck’s prompt refusal, or pauses to prepare to take by force the torritory which he can never obtain by diplomacy. Prussia pursues her high handed policy. She has evidently completely overridden Hanover, as the official notice to the Queen’of that kingdom through Prince Yestenburg would show, and that King William is master of all Northern Germany is an established fact, Conscious of her strength, and positive in her intention to follow out the policy of Bismarck, Prussia feels herself in a position to stand by the universal German senti- ment that the Rhine frontier can never be ceded to France. Germany and the Rhine are in- separably connected in the grand idea of the German’s fatherland, and the possession of that hiatoric river by any foreign Power is as repul- sive to the German mind as the old time prophecy of the Cossacks of the Don watering their horses in the Seine was to the sonsitive nature of the French people. The King of Prussia knows the German eloment too well to entertain the demand of Napoleon upon this point, even for a moment. The demand for an extension of territory on the Rhine—a Napoleonic tradition, and a dream of the French people since the time when the empire of Charlemagne melted away and was restricted to the limils of France—having been met with a firm refusal, Napoleon is placed in a difficult quandary, The French people are not accustomed to have their de- mania rejected. Neither are they likely to per- init this question of an extension of territory to be set aside without a contest. Aggrandize- macnt of territory is the prevailing weakness of tho Fronch nation, This is the price which they heve always put upon their military services for other nations. Nice and Savoy were the return required for helping Tialy against Austria in the war of 1861, The Rhiae frontier is the price now demanded for the fancied mediation of Napoleon in the late war between Prussia, Ausiria and Italy, Bismarck, how- ever, is not disposed to recognize the acrvices of Napoleon in this regard. He feels, doubt- less, that Prussia, with her fine army, her needle-gun and her good generalahip, has be- come master of the situation, and intends to maintain it. What is Napoleon to do in this emergency ? He stands between two fires—a war with Prussia or revolution at home. We opine that, knowing the character of his people, he has already chosen the former alternative. Our news states that he has burried off to Chalons to review the army encamped there. Probably he finds that the time has come to look after his soldiers, The French army, with Napoleon at its head, is, in reality, all that is substantial in the French government. It is that which directs the policy ot France and regulates evenis, The voico of the people at the ballot. box, the farce of universal suffrage, are like the machinery and scenic delusions of the stage. The army, with its cunning and sagacious leader, decides all vital questions of domestic government and foreign policy, after all. It may be, then, that Europe is on the eve of a more prolonged and bloody war than that which Prussia has brought to a standatill by the vigor of her arms. A conflict between the German race and the Latin race seems imminent, and we should not wonder if the German element, composed as it is of men of solid ideas, progressive minds, animaied by an all absorbing passion for German unity and Ger- man supremacy, should prevail over the Latio race, if war is to be the isene of the present com- plication.. That the fight will be a terrible one there can be no doubt. ‘The recent successes of Prussia will create a rivalry between her and the army of France which must lead to deeds of extraordinary valor on both sides, Tt would be idle now to speculate upon the alliances which France may seck or obiain, should she accept the gage of battle; more idle still to offer any conjecture until we have more news at our command as to what Aus- tria, Italy and Russia and the minor Gorman States are going to do in the event of a war between France and Prussia; but we can readily understand how such a conflici will effuee the whole map of the Continent as ii now stands and control the future destiny of all the nations of Central urope. Payment or ane Tawronany Loay.—The Secretary of the Treasury has at last inken the necessary sieps towards paying off the tempo- rary loan. Notice ha« been given that these certificates will uot draw interest afier the 26th of this month. Thus itseems that the Treasury Department bas at last taken the advice of the Heraip, and no longer purposes paying inter- est on deposits, in order that the goverament may supply the national banks with funds to speculate upon. This is a movement in the right direction. The only thing that we have to regret about it is that it has been delayed so Jong. Tas Kentvcky Eurcrioy.—The radical press throughout the country are trying their bes to make political capital out of the result of the recent election in Kentucky, by endeavor- ing to convince the public that the State war carried by the secessionists. One or two of the most anprincipled among them rejoice over the fact that the radicals iu the State stayed away from the polls and allowed the election to go by default. But os there are probably not a thousand radicals in that State, this seems to us as being» very small thing to boast over. The question of secession, how- ever, had nothing to do with the election. Whether this handful of radicals voted or not, no such issue was presented. That question was eettled by the downfall of the rebellion, and none acknowledged that fact more pointedly or with leas reserve than the successful party in Kentucky. The whole question in the State wae precisely the same | as it was in New York last fall.

It is one of the results of the uprising of the people against the radical faction and in favor of the restora- tion of the Union. The Philadelphia Convention a Success-Now fer a Vigorous Campaign. The tone and temper which have character- ized the deliberations of the Convention at Philadelphia have thus far been admirable. All parties concerned seemed to be thoroughly impressed with the importance of the move- ment, and have exhibited » spirit in every way commendable, One sentiment actuates all present, whether they come from the North or South, East or West. Personal feelings and pri- vate ambition yielded to the necessity of the hour and gave way wherever it was even hinted that by so doing the cause could be benefited. In this way all cause for wrangling has been removed, and the radicals have been geek deprived ot their last handle to make capital against it, Even their orgsns 27% compelled to acknowledge the succes; of the movement and are writhing in agony over the prospects of their own downfall, which ‘follows inevi- tably. The permanent organization has been perfected with Senator Doolittle as the Chair- man, and all that now remains to be done is to adopt the resolutions and agree upon the ad- dress to the people, which will probably be ac- complished to-day. This, with the inaugura- tion of machinery to assist in the coming cam- paign in the several States, will conclude their work, We have already received suiiicieni data foreshadowing the character of the resola- tions and address to establish the fact that this part of the work will be performed in the best spirit and commend itself to the good sense of the people. In fact, the short d@ spatch from President Johnson, read in the Convention yesterday, declaring it a success, is but the echo of the sentiment of the public. No person, we care not how preju@tocd he may have been against the movement, can care- which #0 auspiciously commenced be fol- lowed up with vigor. There is no time to be lost. Reunion, restoration, peace, prosperity and the future greatness ot the republic are all sieked on the result of this campaign. Let the E Fs Should the war in Europe be continued through the fresh complications that are aris- ing daily, as seems probable, we shall witness such extraordinary financial difficulties there as bave not been experienced for a long period. There are few governments in the Old World that can their heads above water, and the most are burdened almost to the utmost limit. The cost of war in the present age is enormous. No great na- tion can stand it without greatly increasing its debt, and few without bankruptcy. They have in Europe, it is true, great skill in managing their finances upon an artificial basis; but this must fail under the strain of a great and prolonged war. The present aspect of affairs indicates a more gigantic and gene- ral war thay that which has just been S0ehended. Looking at the temper of the French people and press, and at the deli- cate political situation of Napoleon, it is quite likely that France will enter into the bloody arena. If so, what a war that will bo between two mighty military Powers in the heart of Europe! A war between France and Germany would shake the old continent to its very centre. The probability is that it would spread from one end to the other and involve nearly ali the great Powers and most of the smaller ones. In that case every one must see what fearfu) financial disasters would follow, iid how the securities of these old countries would tumble down. The effect of this upon the United States and its credit would be surprising. Our war is over, and it has. been closed up in such a manngr that with the full restoration of the South we are sure of a permanent and long peace.

All this is what the blood- thirsty radicals are laboring for and what they are determined to bring upon as, if they cannot retain power without it, This iact is clearly shown by records of the late session of Congress, When the rebellion was crushed and the rebel armies surrendered and peace was declared, ihe people expected that the restoration of the Union would follow at once, The work of reconciliation was inangurated hy President Lincoln and faithfully prosecuted by President Johuson until the hopes-of the country were revived and rejoicing filled the } \ } whole lend. hie was the condition of affairs when the Thirty-ninth Con- gress ansembleh.

The cry of more blood once more went forth, and all who dared {0 oppose the demand were branded as traitors. Under this action of the radical leaders in Con- grese the work of restoration, the labor of ad- Juating the country, was stopped, and hefure the radical Congress adjourned riots commenced | and bavesince taken place directly under their | supervision.

You can judge with what a sensation of relief we ve- ceived the accumulated two weeks’ mail of the steam- ‘ship Columbia, which vessel arrived hero early on the morning of the Tth, and is now ‘serving out’ her three days of observation. - multiplicity the laying of a cable between the island of Cuba ang some point on the coast of the United States, Whether the laying of the great Atlantic cable will have for com- sequence the immediate submersion of a cable betwees: Cuba and tho States is a matter which I cannot decide. ‘That a cable can be laid there is no doubt—and that it can be worked with advantage toany company, and certaialy ‘with great benefit to the people of both countries, ts ‘THE SITUATION ON THK ISLAND at this moment, notwithstanding the sensational reporte which have been sent abroad, remains unchanged. Our communications with the three great departments of the island, and particularly with places in the interior, is very limitéd, and while the. news items and political re- ports which we receive are partial and meagre, it must remain difficult for a correspondent located here to always correctly and fully obtain the facts, His RXORLLANCY THK CAPTAIN GENERAL ‘s rusticating at Mariunao, whence he sends forth his orders for moral and social reforms, and for the good government of the Queen's subjects, By the way, some imapértingné fellow has had the audacity to say that, although the Captain General has un}jmited power from hor Majesty, ho still lacks the power to avoid Yellow Jack, and bence continues at Marianao among the belles and beaux, The cordial manners of his Excollency haye won for him a great number of friends, particularily among the ladies, Yet we know that the tain Gen- eral 4s really tired of being cooped up among butierfl\ and wants to return to town ae soon as the season will adroit, TMPORTANT TO MARINERS, We are pleased to see that some one who is evidently well posted, has exposed in the columus of the Hyraue the abuses prevailing at a hospital located iu this har- vor, and which have existed to our knowledge for the Inst thirty years, without calling forth from any of the mauy Lonsuls resident at this port the slightest remon- etrance. All the statemente made by the writer referred to are nevertheless well worthy of attention. The hos- pital ought to undergo at once an examination Ly com- petent and impartial individuaia, 80 that our mariners Inay not be killed through ignernnoe or avarico on the pare oo nome he underiaka their cure, ‘The systom upon which it is sustained is by subscription for a round surn each voyage, ar by the year—and hence it ## for the interest of ite proprietors that the patients be cliher cured or killed quickly, Thousands of mariners have died at that hospital, more from lack of proper atten! than from any other cause whatever. The building is located on the lowest marshy spot of the shore—a more unhealthy one could not have been selecied—the location wloue sufllces to produce an enormous mortality. 4 3Usr LAW.
