HE CRISIS IN AMSTERDAM. | RUSSIA IN NATIONAL ARMAMENT, By special correspondence from Furope we have ‘the fo lowing important reports of the resulta of the great war crisis as they presenved at certaim points on the 24 of July—the latest mall date, - ENGLAND. ‘War Correspendonce and Its Value Se Far— The National Policy iuthe Struggie—Forcign Complications Probable—Preparations tor a Seriews tHwergeucy—Continental Diplomacy and Its Consequences—Popular Anxicty and Aarm—Canses and Effects—Naval Move- mente and Fleet Organizations. Lonvon, July 23, 1870, Istill write from London, as there are obsiacles @ the presence of correspondents in the French or Prussian camps. Que French general has intimated his intention of shooting any of the tribe who may be found tn bis jurisdiction, and even a Parts a re- presentative of the London Times las been tmprison- ed, aud two ex-oflcers of the English army have been forcibly deported rom France on the bare sup- position that their purpose was Lo observe and write upon mililary movements going on under their eyes and which could not be concealed, strategically and technically, and with that power of drawing infer- ences in Which men who have seen service are ne- cessarily superior Wo civilians, The socalled news 01 the War wich We get bere 1s vague and unsatts- factory, and to repeat any of it to you ina letter Would be Worse tian useless, especially considering that the best of it is telegraphed back across the At- lantie after having frst appeared in your columns, Leading articles on probable or possible complica- tions to arise, an@ speculations on the pians of the belligerent, are about all we get ‘The news of actual hostilities having taken place— though on a very smat! seale—at Forbachy was pub- lished here tu an uaceriain shape a day after you were fully and correctly advised of the event, The Possible occupation of the Chablais by Switzerland came to us by leiver. I have no doubt, if there is any truth tn it, you have bad it by a shorter and quicker means. Jt appears that Switzerland has the right, under the treaties of 1815, to occupy @ district of Savoy called phe Ohablais, in the event of the break- ing out of a European war whlch may becoiae gene ral. Savoy then belonged to Piedmont; it is now French territory; aud dithough it nas changed hands Switzerland claims it is with us ovilgation attached tolt, If Switzeriand persisis in this project it will be, of course, taken as a casus bella by France, which will thus be compelled to detach a very con- siderable portion of her army to watch or actively to combat Switzerland, which, though a small coun- try, is no contemptibie adversary, with her almost inaccessible territory and her army of 120,000 men. Itistrue by withdrawing from the occupauon of Rome France may bribe Italy to uadertake that duty. In that case the Pope may find the publica- tion of the dogma of his infa ilibility contemporaneous w.th the loss of his local habitation, when nothing Wil remain to him but his name and nis ecclestas- Ucal power. The ultramontane party im the Roman Church are said to be getting alarmed about the temporal power of the Pope, and not to be so anxious for the humiliation of Protestant Prussia as they were. TOE SITUATION AT TOME. \ The English people are still feverishly anxtous about the part they may have to play. The desire Wo keep out of the imbroglo is unanimous; but the tone of the press is not so prudenily neutral as it ought to be, and ifs strictures upon the conduct of France are very unfavorably received in that coun- try, and the irritation thus aroused it may be aim- cult to allay. We are hourly startled by ramors of Russia taking the side of Pra: Iu that ease England may mn- mediately be obiiged to take part with France, when you will see the English press, with that happy facility for change of tone whicb has already been shown since the beginning of this struggle, grad- ually gliding ito the publication of neat and well turned articles laudatory of the august ally of thetr country, his Imperial Majesty Napoleon Ll. Eng- land's first step then would probably be an | immediate occupation of Belgium and a con- | centration of ali her Ilan forces on the | the northern and western frontiers of Mindostan. | Forced on the other side by any comptication her Orst step would perhaps be ap imme tate attack tm | Egypt for the possession of M. de Lesseps’ great en- | gineering work, the Suez Canal. Russia, also, on the | aide of Prussia, might find in the possession of Con- staatinople ample compensation for the delayed realization of her dream of conqu Shouid Engiand and Russia thus, in the course of events, both drift to the assistance of Prussia, a united’ Germany will be the result of the Nght. Austria, powerless to prevent will becon aply | and solely Hungary, aad France willbe all Unue territorially what she now ts, but with her pres- tige as the arbiter of Europe lost for a generation, by the lapse of which time, let us hope, some other means of settling the quarrels of nations will be in- vented to take the place of the resort to the witeno rao of the sword. AS for the Scandinavian Powers, they, with the Iberian peninsula, can oaly be mere puppets in the hands of therest of Earepe, Denmark and Spain thirsting, the one for ven, upon Prussia, the other upon France, will be com- pelied to be quiet or the reverse, as tt may suit principal parties to the fight, or they may be for vo take a side other than that dictated by their re or fancied grievances. | As to the other Powers of Germany which Rave | escaped mediition or conquest tney will becor component parts of a great German Confederattoa, Lue power of which will be wielded by the King of Prussia, either under that mame or ander the | mightier title of Emperor of Germany, unless, in- deed, the war should fast so long Uiat the people of : ir from the want of homogenity In its component parts and from the ignorance of its people; with the former, vor a time at least, from the strong hold which ber Majesty Queen Victoria has upon the aflections of her subjects. TRE GERMAN ELEMENT—CITY EXCITEMENT. The quiet, orderly and well conducted Germans | and’ Frenchinen resident in London have betaken themselves to their respective countries to take up arms in their defence, But the numerous establisa- ments which have sprung up here for the sale of Swiss cheese, black bread, Fazio sausages, lager beer, Rhino wine and vin ordinaire are sul full of professional patriots from their countries. Go into ‘one of them and you will hear polyglot quarrels in the loudest of voices going on over the games of dominoes. So excited become the players that the “double six” 1s forgotten to be put down atime proper me, and the attendants stand by waichiully jest some eéathusiastic disputant ghould gsaddouly vanish, forgetung to pay the moderate price due for his very moderate rejreshment, The enthusiastic follower of Rochefort, who used never to hear the Emperor poleon's Name mentioned Without a sacre with any amount ofr’s tn it, and who never called bin Emperor but always Louls Napoicon, usurper, sodld- vat, &c., and in his cups whose taik was all of crushing him with more r’s, now talks of the glory of France and sings the ‘‘Marseiilaise”’ with new vigor, while his sacrés are directed against Prussia, and vis with diMiculty you can escape an embrace and 4 kisa3 on the cheek from the geueraily dirty patriot ii he hears you express a word of sympatiy for la velle France, He don’t go to the wars, however, He feels he haa left his country for his country’s good, and that it is for his own to stay away as long as he can, at least as a 4 he can get eau sucrée, cheap Bordeaux and ig cheese and sulud by ‘rading upon his sufferings in the cause of liberty. 7 BRITISH PREPARATIONS.

Lonpon, July 21, 1870. War, and that which both accompany 1t, as bat- les, sleges, moving accidents, forced marches, plac- tng of squadrons in the field, have, during the past | awakened in our community, | pobiiciaa, evidently a coal pocter of great experi- | few days, engrossed the entire interest of the me- tropolis. Politics are as good as dead, fashionable enteraimments have jaded into insignificance, popu- lar amusements have ceased to altract attention, and eveu the autumnal holidays are looked forward to with a stoicism worthy of the last effort of a chi- valrons nature. Except in matters pertaining to the approaching struggle gossip is scanty, rumor hides her diminished head and scandal herself is silenced. Barren, from Dan to Beersheba, 1s the talk of the clubs; and the lobby of the Honse—where of an afternoon you can hear all about Mr. Gladstone and Court and Mr, Disraeli and the Speaker—echoes but to one buzz, and that is of platoons and bat- talions, counterscarps, contiguous columns, dis- parts, paranolas aud the fierce smoke of conflict. “War, with a thousand battles, and shak- ing oa hundred thrones,” is everywhere the cry; and it would be as easy to divert the pool of Father Thames as to escape frou Its infiuence. Parliament taiks of it, Threadneedic street and the Exchange talk of it, the bench and the bar talk of if, the street talk of tt, they ail talk of tt. What Napoleon will do; what King Willlam Will do; whether the mitrailleuse will succeed; how the needle-gun will act; .whether Belgtum’s neu- trality will be respected, and which territory is likely to be the chief theatre of the strife, are alt discussed More or less authoritatively. “First and second editions,” special reports, ex- clusive information und the latest news from the belligerents, are shouted at every street corner and prociaimed in dissonant tones ‘from every railway piacturm. How the French are pouriig to the Jronuers and the Prussians are roiling down to the Khine, how bridges are veing cut away, forces mo- bilized, legions increased, garrisons strengthened; how the French Emperor ts resolute and the Prus- sian King dedant; and Count Bismarck sits apart, brooding over his mystic pians; t , and muy olner things, are hourly 1 with the entnusi- asia of Zealots and the é un fiverybody you meet has a p! operations somew in his unlocks all the mysteries and foretelis, not only what is past, but also whal is io come. Bismarck has forced on the war; Napolcon has forced on the war; it won't Jast; it will last; the outbreak has come suddenly like a titef in the night; the outs break lias been foreseen for years and Dota countries: are prepared. Aud so it goes on from day to day, and for te time being vote by ballot, emigration, Irish land and education are all swept ‘out of sight and forgotten, Matters bemg In this condition, Baden, Paris, the Rhine and ail the pleasure resorts of the Conuaent Ked against invasion, tourists are begin- ning woeiully to ask themseives how they shall spend the bounieousness of the long vacation. Yhose who, anticipatiag the early prorogation of Parliames!, had gone abroad im searcn of fresh breezes and distraction from black cares, are re- turning ina panic. “Bult Run,” or what is Known in America as a stampede, most accurately describes the perturbation into Which our travelling couniry- mien have been thrown by the sudden action of the Freoch and Prussian Cabinets, =A geutieman who was knitting up the ravelled sleeve of care aniid the seductive induences of tue ‘Tyrol when war was proclaimed, has assured me that, great traveller as to the excitement aud strong feeling witch were displayed throughout the whole of. the South German provinces and the frontiers ot rance during iis return journey to England. ‘Troops were to be met everywhere, and the ferule plains, yellow with nodding harvesis, seemed, in the short space of a week, to bave been turned by the presio of a magician into a vast camp the evolutions of squadrons and battalions.

In a Hitle room between the front parlor and the back kitchen the bodies of the two cider children were found. They were plied on one another near the jreplace, and there 18 no doubt, from the position in which’ (hey were, that thetr Inhuman murderer brutally Mune thein there afvor having smashed thelr heads With oue of the terrible weapons after. wurds discovered. ‘The bodies of the poor children were partly uncovered, The body of old Mrs. Mar- ahali and that of the youngest child were discovered im the back kiteen, and the wounds visibie on Ulem Were even Worse tian those which caused the death of the others, ‘The poor creature's head was feartuly beaten in, and her pight dress was completely besmeared with flood. The child lay on her back quite clos to her grand. mother, her hewi bearing evidence of feasful’ biows. Having — left this horribi scene of slaughter the police entered Marshall's lorge, which is just beside the house, and almost on a lind with it, There they found Marshall's body tying ou the floor, with his face downwards. At first they scarcely recognized itas a human body, inasmuch as It Was covered With some sacks, Which were care- fully “tucked in" at both sides and covered with the grit and dust of the place. The poor man’s face was a errible spectacie, His features were so disugured and begrimmed with she dirt of the place, mingied with the blood Sowing from his head, that the police and his neighbors were utterly unable to recognize him, There was @ large hoie on bis foretiead, evi- dently inflicted with @ poker, which was found broken in two near the body. His head has been beaten to a jelly, and nis arms present several ter- rible cuts and bruises, a3 though he had struggled with his assailant. An axe, two large hammers and a poker, ali of which are stained with blood, were jound near the bodies, FIRST SUPPOSTTIONS. Marshall was only dressed in his shirt, trowsers and socks. [tis piers that having come down stairs to see What his unsuspected assailant wanted he was first despatched, and that the other members of the famuy being thus deprived of their protector fell an easy prey to their fiendish murderer, They, it is presumed, heard the gcutie between Marshall and the murderer, and rushed down stairs in their night clothes only tw be killed, one by one, The soles of Marshall's socks were quite ciean, and from the fact of his shoes and some of his clothes being missing, and those of the murderer being found in the house, there 1s no doubt that the scoundrel, after disposing of Marshall and the other victims, divested himself on his own garments and puton thuse of the murdered man, WHAT WAS TAKEN?
