No battle ts expected between the French and Prussian armies for some days yet. Panis, July 19—3:80 P. M. Up to this time not even a skirmish has occurred between the hostile forces. It is announced that no diplomat or other for- eigner will be allowed in the French camp, | The morning journa!s to-day say the Prussians ‘how in Paris and elsewhere in France will not be expelled from the country so long as they observe a strict Deutrality. ‘The Liberte (organ of the Tiev's-parth) gives tite fol- Jowing as the programme of the Frenc! ‘The army will first enter Hesse in order to neu- tralize the Southern States of Germany. They will then occupy ‘and fortify the city of Frankfort. From this point they will be abie to sweep all Prussian territory to the le tof the Rhine. They will then enter Prussia by way of Westphalia, and a recon- Btruction of the Rhenish Confederation will follow. No The National Guard of Paris—Addresses of the Emperor—Aruiy Contingents. 4 Panis, July 19, 1870, ‘The Emperor yesterday received a deputation of oficers of the National Guard of Paris. In response to their congraiulatiens the Emperor said “he relied upon the National Guard, Upon them devolved the protection of the capital during ‘the war.” i ‘The Minister of War has asked the Corps Législatit for an increase of the military class of 1870 from 90,000 to 140,000 men, and that this coringent may be called out to serve till January 1, 1371. The Corps Législatif will vote this project to-day, together with the several others recentiy submitted by the government for the prosecution of the war. Napoleon’s address to the people will not de pub- lished, says the Patrie, uutit the Emperor has de- parted for the front. ‘When the Emperor quitted the Tuileries to-day to feturn to St. Cloud he was loudly cheered by the People. The Journal Ofictel announces taat the Emperor has decided not to receive either in the Imperial quarters or the quarters of the genera! officers any Volunteer or any foreign oficer, or any one not be- longing to the French army. The Liverte publishes a statement to the effect that General Changarnter wiil probably be appointed Minister of War, vice Leboul, who takes a command in the field, Friends and Foes Outside—The Cause of the Nationalities, Paris, July 19, 1870. ‘The Journal Oficiel to-day has a significant article on the attitude of Holland, with which it professes to be pleased, and continue: “But no one can ignore the ambitious designs of Prussia agaist the independence of Holland. Bismarck wishéd to make that generous and illustrions litle nation sabmit, as the Danish duchies were forced to submit. He wished to render Holland a naval State of the North German Confederation, and, under the pretext of establishing closer commercial relations, tried to place Prussian custom officers at Amsterdam, The patriotic emotions aroused in the Netherlands at the time of the Luxem- burg aifair will also be remembered; Nor will itbe forgotten that without the firm stand taken by France then Prussian policy would have had results fatal to the Independence and autonomy of the Netherlands. The Cabinct of the Hogue is on its guard and will not fai! to maintain the real inter- ‘ests of the country.” ‘The same paper bas the following on the relations of Switzerland to France:—‘We learn irom several ‘Swiss cantons, and particniurly from Neufeh that the military measures of the federal governm are not directed against France, but are inspired by afriendly neutrality. Switzeriand kaows she has nothing to fear from France, her natural ally and firm friend. The measures taken by Switzeriand to secure the respect or Prussia for her newwrality are in our favor, as by her geographical po: protects an important portion of our front ‘ The friendly feeling of the Spanish pagpie towards France is also pointed out by the Journal, which gays:—“We hear from Spain that ali notice how carefully in the present confict our government and Chambers have avoided any act or expression of un- friendliness towards that Power. ‘This results from the feclings of sympathy between the two nuttons.”* Cash Aid. Panis, July 19, 1870. The public and private subscriptions to the various charitable projects mcidens to the war are very Iibe- ralin all parts of the country. ‘The Duke de Mort. marte has given 100,000 francs to one of these funds, Many persons have agreed to pay certain sums daily during the continuance of the war, and otiers agatu pay double taxes, Many manutacturers continue the wages of their emmoyéa who choose to enlist as soldiers.

Private Property on the High Seas to be Re- spected—-The Hamburg Steamship Line—No Taterruption of the European Mail Ser- vice—Effect of the War on Our Funding Policy—The Ques- tion in the Cabinet. WASHINGTON, July LY, 1870, ERFKOY OF TER BUROPEAN WAR ON AMERICAN FINANCRS—DELAY IN ISSUING TH NEW BONDS, Had it not been for the outbreak of the European war the Secretary of the Treasury would have already comineneed to carry out the provisions of the act for funding the public debt. As it is, how- ever, he will be in no hurry about getting out the new bonds. He probably realizes that in the midst of the general exettement over the troubles in Europe, which spreads to financial as to all other circles, he would meet with little success in putting upon the market bonds which, at the best, could not be expected to go off very lively when there are more profitable securities to be had. It 13 the opinion of the Secretary that our bonds will not come back from #orope m large quantities, There ts no real benefit to foreign hoidgrs in sending the bonds over here at this time, for they huve sympathized in this country with the dowaward movement in Europe and have correspondingly depreciated. He thinks that after awhile there will be a demand for our securities in Europe for permanent investment, Then will be the time to put out the new bonds, With regard to the premium on gold the Secretary thmks that will depend very much upon the demand for gold for export. This he is Inclined to believe will be light, because there will be a great demand for bread- stuffs and they will be taken purchases in Europe. Altogether, the of the opinion that the war in Europe will not aitect our finauces unfavorably. NO INTERRUPTION OF THE EUROPEAN MAIL SERVICE, ‘There is a great deal of exaggeration tu the news- paper siatemenis about the embarrassmente to the American mails growing out of the troubles in Eu- rope. The Posttnasier General has made such ar- Tangements as will secure the transmission of the mals with as much regularity as heretoiore by we Cunard, Inman and Williams & Guion lines of steam- ships, The mails for Europe will ereafter leave New York three Umes a week, which 18 only once less than they have been leaving with the service of the German steamsiups. ‘The Postmaster General hopes in @ short time to.be able to get auother line of stean ships to carry Thursday's mat!, which will give the Same facilities that existed before the European complications arose, .He telegraphed to-day to France to ascertain if the French government would allow the German steamers carrying the United States mails to pass, provided they aid not have anything on board contraband of war. No answer has yet been recetved, AS sodu as war be- comes a fixed fact and the French government re- fuses to accede to the above request ihe lonimaster General will issue a circular advising all persons sending mail matter to ‘ope to address it via Engiand., The United States malis will then be landed in listributed from that pomr in English vesseis to their places of destination, In case England herself is drawn into the fight the Postmaster General wil) then be inpetled to nave the mail carried in h American vessels as be can obtain. Itis his intentiou, however, to do all he can to keep up as direct communication with Eua- Tope by mail as possible. With regard to the Pacific Maii Steamship company’s steamers the Postinaster General thinks they are not, quite adapted to the Atlantic mail service, as they are mnch slower than any of tie lines heretofore engaged in carrying the mai THE GREAT MISTAKE OF CONGRESS. Mr. Creswell thinks Congress made a great mis- take in fang to adopt the recommendations of the President with regard to giving American registers to foreign built vessels. ‘The immediate effect of it, he says, would have been to give us at least twenty of the best steamers that cross the Allantic—those of the Hamburg and Bremen lines. With them we would have obtained the immense carrying trade which has made fortunes for the companies owning these vessels,- Wh ther the war in Burope will be Jong or short the Postmaster General says we would have reaped the benelit of the transfer of these ves- sels toour tag, for it would take their owners at least two years to replace them, and in the mean- thine ail the trade would hay jen into our hands, ‘THE HAMBURG MAIL STRAMSHIDS. Mr. Kunhardt, of the Hamburg Steamship Line, arrived here this morning and has had interviews with Baron Gerolt, Postmaster General Creswell and Secretary Fish, Mr. Kunhardt plained to Mr. Creswell the conditions upon which the Silesia was to sail and urged that the United States mails should be sent by the steamer. Mr. Kunhardt felt little doubt but that the Silesia would noi be molested by the French navy, especially since the announcement by Bismarck that Prussia would exempt from seizure private propetty on the pigh’seas withont regard to reciprocity by France. Mr. Kunhardt urged that France would. not molest the United States mails in any event, and induced Mr. Creswell to consent to allow the Silesia to carry the mails as usual. EFFECT OF THR SUSPENSION OF THE GRRMAN sTHAM- SHIP LINE ON EMIGRATION. After effecting this satisfactory arrangement with the Postmaster General Mr. Kanhardt called upon Secretary Fish, He urged Secretary Fish to use all his Infuence with France, through Minister Wash- burne, to have the safety of private property guaran- teed on the high seas, He tola Mr, Fish that should the line of steamers which he represented become compelled to stop runnmg it would result In great Joas to the United States, because it would not only transfer the German steamers to English ownership, but prevent the emigration from Germany of bun- dreds of emigrants who wert ready to come to this country. He reminded Mr. Fish, also, that several of our States have agents in Germany soliciting emigrants, and that the steamship limej has a con- tract to convey such emigrants to the United States, He cited California, Michigan, Georgia and Alabama as among States which had appropriated large sums of money to keep these emigrant agents abroad and detray the expenses of transportation. The loss to these States of such emigration wouid be serlously felt, Mr. Fish said that ail the statements made by Mr. Kunhardt were worthy of consweration and that they would receive it, MASS MEETINGS OF GERMANS, A preliminary meeting was held here to-day by leading Germans to make arrangements for holding @ mass meeting in sympathy with, and in aid of Prussia, Carl Schurz after speaking in New York in behalf of the same cause, will address the Ger- mans in Baltimore on Friday next, returning to Washington on Saturday.
