The most extraordinary document marking any of the many reotifications of the balance of powor in Europe for a thousand years is the text of the preliminaries of peace agreed upon between Prussia and Austria, which was pub- lished in yesterday’s Heratp. It amounts to an official recognition by Austria of her com- plete subjugation, and that. she thankfully ac- cepts the gracious terms vouchsafed by Bis- marck whereby her existence as an independ- ent Power is still recognized. There is nothing in any of her repeated humiliations by the First Napoleon which can be compared with her humiliation by Bismarck. At the outset of the war Austria, with her supporting German States and principalities, was considered as more than a match in military strength and resources for Prusaja and Italy combined. This was donbtless the opinion of Napoleon, and that, in being ultimately called upon (o inter- pose with his army for the sake of peace, France would secure the lion’s share of the spoils, But the astonishing efficiency and superiority of the Prussian armies, and their unpazalleled activity in pushing forward over all impedi- ments from Dreaden to Vienna, have baffled all the calculations of outside diplomatists and spoiled the whole programme ot Napoleon. The Paris journal Za France is very naturally astonished at the rapacity of Bismarck, as dis- closed in the text of these peace preliminaries; for surely, beyond the limits of Prussia, no such imperial scheme of expansion on the part. of the skilful, bold and audacious Bis- marck was dreamed of. Let us briefly con- sider it, In the firat place, with the exception of the Lombsrdo-Venetian kingdom, which goes to Ttaly, ‘the Austrian monarchy remains intact. ‘This was a generous concession to Ausiria, for from what follows it is apparent that Bismarck had the whole empire at his disposal. By the second article of these preliminaries Austria recognizes the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation as it has hitherto existed and gives ‘her assent to a new Northern orgaviza- tion, with her total exclusion from it, The Austrian Emperor, also consents to the pro- posed Northeru.Confederation under Prussia, and to « separate union of the States south of the river Main, “whose national bonds with the Confederation of North Germany will form the objects of an ulterior understanding be- tween the two parties.” The plain English of this Is, that having absorbed all the States, Duchies, &-., north ot the Main, Prussia, at her own convenience, may take all south of said river, Austria baving excluded herself from any farther voice in the matter. The plan of absorption thus provided for, when éarried out, will give to Prussia the control of seme thirty-five or forty millions of Germans, * But, again, the Emperor of Austria tranefers to the King of Prussia all bis rights and claims to the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, with the reservation that the people of North Schleswig shall be again united to Denmark if they 80 cx- press themselves in a vote freely given. Bis- marck, profiting by the lessons of Napoleon in this business of popular suffrage, will doubi- less know how to manage this election. Here, then, will be another important annexation of territory and population to the strength of Prussia, for she will gain with the seaports and coast of Schleswig-Holstein something far more valanble than their lands and people. Yet, again, Austria agrees. to pay, in exccss of all drawbacks on account of her Schleswig-Hol- stein expenses, the sum of twenty millions of thalers towards Prussia’s oxpenses of tho late war, and further agrees that Bismarck may dis- pose of the kingdom of Saxony and levy upon it his war contributions at bis discretion, and #0 on to the end of the chipter. Snob are the preliminaries of peace agreed upon between these high contracting parties. In three weeks the armies of the two Princes of Pruesia have accomplished far more for her en- largement and recognition among the great Powers of Europe than was achieved by Frederick the Great in bis famous and success- ful soven years’ war. Within twelve months, Bismarck, from the reputation of a self-willed, despotic, and foolhardy Prussian Primo Minister, has risen to the high distinction of the ablest diplomat.and the foromost man in Europe. Under bis bold and sagacious man- agement Prussia has advanced from the posi- tion of a second rate State to that of the com- manding power in Central Europe. Strangely evough, too, the Continental equilibrium, in view of the future peace of Europe, (provided always that Napoleon's present professious of peace may be relied npon) with “this imperial | enlargemont of Prossia, is fixed upon « much { better foundation than that contemplated hy | Napoleon bimeelf. France is aggressive, and | requires to be held in check. Prussia, as now about to be constituted, will serve as a barrier | against the ambitious designe of impefial , France. There will be little to fear, on the other hand, from the non-aggressive character | of the Germans; but much to dread from any } hostile encroacbmenta upon their domains, | with their gtrength consolidated under what | may be Galled the Macedonian military system | OF Prussia. The success of Prussia in the | humiliation of Austria is to some extent a triumph of modern ideas and Progress over | the ideas of the old effete feudal system. the road to popular rights and institutions, al- though another shaking up or two of the Con+ full development, Europe takes another large stride forward op | ‘The Emasculatiag Policy of Mr. Seward. We publish to-day a State paper addressed by Secretary Seward to General Kilpatrick, our Minister to Chile, The document is furnished by our Washington gorrespondent, and was, no doubt, obtained from the State Department—perhaps from Mr. Seward him- self, The official communication has reference to the action of the United States legation at Valparaiso during the cruel bombardment of that city by the Spanish squadron, and is about as ambiguous and long-winded as most of Seward’s diplomatic correspondence. In the main it is an approval of the do-nothing policy which General Kilpatrick was instructed by the State Department to pursue upon that occa- sion, when an unprotected city of s neighbor- ing republic was being battered down and the interests of American citizens were imperiled. It is not easy to comprehend exactly the neces- sity for all the cireumlocution which Mr. Seward employs to cover this general ground. That he intends to apologize in a roundabout way for the emasoulating foreign policy of the State Department, is quite apparent. That there is much need of apology and explana- tion to satisfy the American public upon this score, is also evident, From the beginning of his official career Seward has evinced a spirit of toadyism in his dealings with foreign Powers wholly unworthy of the great nation he represents, We saw the first evidence of it in the Slidell and Mason case. If the British gov- ernment had then been boldly met, its course towards us would have been very different, and the war would have been terminated two years earlier; for John Bull, like all bullies, is a coward. We.saw the same spirit again in the controversy with the Russell-Clarendon minis- try about the Shenandoah and Alabama claims, when Seward permitted himself to be shut up by the British Foreign Secretary upon the plea that “the arguments were exhausted.” In his deal- ings with Maximilian in Mexico he has beon equally dilatory and weak-kneed, and if the settlement of the Mexican usurpation were left to the Secretary of State we should never sce the end of it, But President Johnson has for- tunately taken this matter into bis own hands, and by his proclamation declaring the block- ade of Matamoros a nullity he has brought the question of tho Austrian Archduke’s authority to a climax. It is clear, theretore,that the President's idea of what should be our foreign policy docs not tally with the toadying, emascu- lating process of Mr. Seward. The Secretary may live in foolscap, but Andy Johnson yjll. live in facts. The Secretary writes illimita- ble platitudes, but the President deals in prompt and fruitful action. The communication addressed to the Ameri- can Minister in Chile is but a lame and diluted argument to prove that the United States gov- ernment la not aggressive in its policy, which is a fact patent to all the world; but, sup- pose that General Kilpatrick and Commodore Rodgers had been allowed to interpose the authority of this government between the Spanish guns and the city of Val- paraiso, for the protection of the American merchants resident there, would it have been regarded as an aggression? What are the ficets of maritime nations stationed in foreign porta for, except to protect the inte- rests of theirresident citizens or subjects in case of undue assaults or injustice of any kind? There can be very little doubt that had our diplomatic representative and the commander of the naval station followod their own in- stinots, to the atter disregard of instractions from Mr. Seward, the whole country and the rest of the civilised world—not including Spain—would have ratified the deed with a universal verdict of approval. Mr. Seward’s intended defence of his own policy, in this communication to General Kilpatrick, is quite characteristic of the vacillating manner in which the foreign affairs of the country have been conducted while in his hands. The Debatable Congressional Districts. We publish elsewhere a carefully prepared statement of the votes cast for members of Con- gress in the principal States at the election of 1864. The document embraces all of those States where elections are to take place this fall, when the great battle for the constitution end the restoration of the Union is to be fought. There are other States which do not elect their members of Congress until next apring, but the clections in the Central States this fall will ina measure foreshadow the re- sult in those States, The great contest—the politieal struggle which is to decide the com- plexion of the next Congress and the future of the country—is to take place during the next three months, commencing with Maine, in Sep- tember. A glance at the tables which we give will enable those interested to see where the best place to make the fight is, There are many dis- tricts so nearly evenly balanced in the votes that it will take but small inroad upon the radical ranks to secure the election of a con- servative in the place of the radical incumbent. These are what may be considered the strate- gical points of the campaign—revealing the weak places in the ranks of the enemy, and where timely demonstrations can be made effective. It will be seen that there are some fifty Con- gressional districts among those given where the vote is exceedingly close, or where the rad- ical now representing the district secured his election by a very small majority. [f, therefore, an effort is made by the con- servative party, and their labors are con- centrated upon those districts, there is nothing to prevent the defeat of at least fifty radical representatives in the elections which are to take place within the next three months, and that, foo, without any extraordi- Rary work. The influence which this will have npon the elections in Connecticut, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and New Hampshire, w do not elect theit Congressmen until next spring, will secure the Presidents band- some working majority in the House of Repre- sentatives of the Fortieth Congress, These are, tlicrefore, important considerations, and are suggestive to those who are planning the cam- paign and marshalling the forces. We do not anticipate that the election will depend upon the work performed in these dis- tricts; for we believe that the people all over the“coun(ry are waking up to the dadger of permitting the unprincipled radical party to any long?r hold the reins of the goveramont. ‘The unenimity with swhich the whole country fesponded to the call of the Philade}pbia Con- vention is evidenve of this tact, Another up- Tising has nnquestionably tontnenced, which tinent may be reqnired to bring about their | will awoep over the COU",iry like flood, burl- ; ing the radicals £*)m power In every sec\460, A concentration of efforts in the debatable dis- tricts will, however, assist the movement and make the defeat of the radical usurpers doubly sure. Napoleon and the Pope. A telegram by the cable on Monday informed us that it was rumored in Paris that the Italian government would soon treat directly with the Pope for the cession of his tempors! domains and for making Rome the capital of Italy. It is further stated in the Paris prep ace of the Independance Belge, a paper con- sidered reliable on such -subjects, that M. Dronyn de Lhuys, before leaving Paris for Vichy, “addressed s despatch to the Roman government to remind it that the term fixed by the Convention of September 15 was approach- ing.” The French minister is said to have sig- nified to the Pontifical authorities that the date in question was irrevocably fixed ; that France would fulfl her engagements by withdrawing the troops on the day mentioned, and that con- sequently the Holy See would have to come to an understanding with the Italian government both on financial affairs relative to the debt of the provinces annexed to Italy and also on the political situation. Taking a view of the general state of affairs in Europe and of the Emperor Napoleon’s situation with reference to them, we think the above statements give us a reasonable exposition of the Italian-Papal question as it standseat present. We know that Napoleon is a smart man at making bargains; that he got the"Savoy slice of Italy for his interposition in behalf of Victor Emanu- el’s kingdom before, and he may have made now another similar little transaction with the King, in consideration of abandoning the Pope and giving up Rome to be the capital of the new kingdom of Italy. No keen Wall street operator was ever more speculative and grasp- ing than Napoleon is in State affairs. He sometimes fails, however, for things go con- trary to his expectation’ or wishes and beyond his control. Tho results of the last war show this, He expected to be a mighty arbiter in the affairs of Europe, the oracle to whom all would go when the flames of war were onc? lighted up. He thought the rearrangemont of the map of Europe would be left chiefty to him, and that the old Napoleonic dream of a recti- fication of the borders of France along the Rhine and in Belgium was about to be realized. We know not what other delightful dreams he bad when Venetia was ceded to him, when he exclaimed exultingly to Eugénie, “We have done a good day’s work,” and when he ordered the French fleet to the Adriatic. But tiese dreams, like those of his grand Mexican empire of the Latin race, havo vanished as smoke into thin air, The warlike power and skilful diplo- macy of Prussia have made his French Majesty very.amiable, peaceful and unpretending. Ho talks no longer about the rectification of the frontiers of France. The press of Paris even is silent. « Still, in this case of giving up the Pope and submitting to see Rome the capital of a puwer- fal Italian kingdom, he may have obtained some compensation. Of that time will tell. He helped to lay the foundation of that king- dom because Italy was the hotbed of revolu- tion, which was always a menace to his imperial establishment. It was in this way only that the revolutionary elemonts could be held in check. But we question if he ever wished to see such a great kingdom as has grown up and become Inevitable in Italy. Under the pressure of the powerful Prussian- Italian alliance, with Austria subjugated and being left in a state of isolation by the other great Powers, France may have yielded on this question of the Pope without being paid for it, We should not be surprised if leon had overreached himself in this matter, as he did in the Mexican affair, and got nothing but mortification. Still, with all his dreams, he is smart, as we remarked before, and it may tarn out that be has received a compensation for giving up Rome and the Pope. As to the Pope himself, and the good of the Church, these reported movementin of Napoleon and Maximilian will have the best effect. Once re- lieved of his tomporalities, the Pope will be happier and more useful in promoting religion, and a purer Christiunity will be diffused from Rome, the anflent centre of the Christian world. Suxvorve Tsars.—A leading radical journal has already commenced weeping over the d:- feat that awaits its party this fall, It admits the fact and announces, that “Te vile tears, Tears trom the depths of despair,” wiH come in spite of all the efforts to keep “them back. A Goop Examete rnom Wasmsctos.— Although the District of Columbia is less inter- ested locally in the coming elections than any of the States, she has seta good example— which comes well from the centre of the gono- ral government—by being the first to announce a grand masa meeting in Washington to ratify the principles of the Philadelphia Conven- tion. The delegates from the District to the Inte Convention have issued a call fora grand ratification meeting, to be held on Saturday. The ball thus set in motion sbould be kept rolling in every large city throughout the country. The first to move in the commercial centres should be the mer- chants, mechanics and traders of New York. There is much to be done in the approach- ing campaign, and but little time to do it in. The issues to be decided are of momentous consequence to all classes, but to the commer- cial classes especially, They are no less than the restoration of the constitution, and with it peace and prosperity, on the one hand, and a perpetuation of strife, injustice and commercial stagnation on the other. The representatives of the whole people have declared in favor of the former issue In the Philadelphia Convention. It is tho duty of the denizens of all the citles of the Union to ratify that declaration in vaet assembled masses, and we call upon the lead- ing men of this metropolis to inaugurate the first great mass meoting without delay. Let the campaign be conducted with vigor, first by an expression of public opinion in favor of the President's policy and hostility ta, the radical faction; next by raising funds, and next by sending good speakers through, the country, to route the slaggish and convert the erring.

Burrato, Aagust 21, 1866. The long talked of and much dreaded Fenian picnic was held to-day at the appointed place, Clinton Forest, and was, ia every sense of the word, a decided success, though no attempt was made, or intended, to molest the loyal Canadians, At an early hour in the morning Buffalo was astir, and men were to be seen hurrying to and fro in their holiday attire, each wearing a green bow of ribbon or some such token of their nationality, while the green flag floated with the starry banner from the housetops of several prominent members of the Brother- hood. At ten o’ciock the line began to form on the terrace, with the right resting on Main street, and soon a salute of several guns, fired by tho Fenian gun squad, announced all to be iu readiness, The procession then began to move, and was composed of about seven thousand men, consisting of the Vetoran Corps, which 1s composed of honorably discharged sol- diers; tho Fenians, wearing green shirts, caps, and carrying rifles, followed by the bogus Queen’s Own, the latter por- sonating that body, The veterans bore their old battle colors, while the Elevators Association and other civic societies carried tho Irish and American colors, Several bands of music accompanied them, The route of march was down Main to Ohio street, thence to Michigan, to Exchange, up the latter to Main, and thence to the rendezvous at Clinton Forest. Excursion boats left Buffalo every hour, all of which ‘were crowded with the Feniags and their friends. On their way down, the breaksater opposite Futt Ene attracted much attention aad many hearty laughs were enjoyed at the expense of their aap es the Kanucks, who were very busy in riding up and down along the river bank, while the British guub»at Robb lay close into the wharf, watching every movement made with apjmrent anxiety. At too grove the throng was immense, yet a sober, quit or better conducted affair I have never wit- ‘There could not have been less than fifteen thoucané persons on the ground. Tho great featyre of the occasion was the sham battle, e mays of Limestone Rid; So great was the de- sire of all present to witness this spectacle that it was late in the afternoon before a iclent space could be cleared by the soldiers for the execution of the Mancuvres. There were about two bundred Feniaus coms i in the men’s pouches and kept in their own posseasten, the retaining fifty rounds per man as reserve uisitions to complete the allowance to one hundred and ten rounds per man will at once be sent to this office, Hossieseme 4 ‘at present to be issued for B W. #H. ome Lieutenant Colonel By M Militia, Seven strange Fenians were arrested in Cornwall yes- terday, The general impression is that the present demonstration means an effort to release the Cornwall prisoners, and, if it means anything, that the picnic om the Niagara frontier was a ruse, to mask the real design of the movement, THE FENIANS IN THIS CITY. James Stephens on the Situnt! from Ireland—Col. Roberts and ing Congress—General Sweeny’s Proclame. ton—Radical Scheme for Carrying the Fall Elections—Inside View, &c., &c. Paradoxical as it may seem, there is very little and very much going on in the Fenian circles of this city. Very little means simply that the leaders refuse to furnish aay information for publication, Very much may mean aay thing from. palavering, politics and picnics to fighting and freedom. There is plenty of talk, much wire pull- ing, and any amount of secret working going on, and the leaders, with many mysterious looks, mods and smiles say the result of all these combinations will be seen a fow months hence. The following is an accurate report of the condition of affairs at the different headquarters yesterday :— AT TAR STKPHENS HEADQUARTERS the Centra! Organizer himself was in attendance. He was in good health and had suffered considerably frem the mosquitoes, Like Garibaldi, he requires somebedy to look after his physical well-being while he & organizing a revolution. About three o’clock two youn men, with travel-stained clothes and sun-browned faces, calledon him. They had just returned from Ire’ aftera long confinement in berg A prison. One them had gone from this country for the purpose of serving as captain in the Irish revolutionary army. He informed Mr, Stephens that since the suspension of the habeas corpus actin Ireland the organization had be- come much stronger and more determined than ever te fight for tho trecdom of their native land. James Stephens is fully cetermined to return to Ireland this year. This statement he repeated yesterday, and sald he shonid keep his word no matter what migh§ be said to the contrary. Nothing definite can be tearned relative to his Western tour, He may or may not go; all wilt depend on timo and circumstances, From present appearances, however, it 1s more thas probate that New York will be his permanent: head- quarters until they are moved ‘into the field” in Ire- land. The report relative to his having made a demand for tho ship owned by Mr. Pierce Skehan, Centre of Long Island, was cut out of whole cloth, there not being @ word of truth in the matter, The ship is the private property of the gentleman named, who will dispose of It as he thinks best. The Moffat’ Mansian, the scene of O'Mahony’s rise and fall, 1s still held by the committee of three into whose hands it was given on the arrival of James Stephens in this country. Two of tbe commitive are in favor of making {t over to the Brotherhood; the other member still holds out. tho mean- time the mansion remains unoccupied, and somebody #will have to pay the rent which is about $1,000 a month.
