It is concise, but full of animated aeserip' results, From Frankfort we have a bienting of war, politics and finance.

Yesterday the new Ministry brought in a bill to Faise the amount alreaiy voted from 509,060,000 to 3,000,000,000—that 13, $200,000,000. That 1s well enough for a beginning, but if the war ts prolonged they will be forced to gofar beyond that. Look at the emount of our debt alone at the end 0! our unhappy civil war; no iess than 4,000,000,000, which did not cover the whole of our tremendous expenditure. As @ War measure, to prevent the great accumulation of specie in the Bank of France from running out of the country, the government also proposed yester- day to suspend specie payments, thereby imitating the example of Engiand tp her last Continental war, 85 Well as our own, and from which uabappliy we have not recovered ourselves.

CARLSRUHE, Duchy of Baden, August 9, 1870. Travelling in Germany since the declaration of war 1s by no means an easy matier. The fast tratns | bave gone out of existence, and the few slow ones which stop at every station only run by permission of the multary anthorities and at very distant and irregular intervals. Ihave been compelled to lose four days Lime im getting to this piace irom Switzer- | land, a trip which, in ordinary times, would have been easily accomplishéd fustde of twenty-four hours, and yet I have tuken the most expeditious ronte now open. Here, at Carlsruhe, 1 almost reach the Limit of railroad travel, the Rhine being only five mites distant aid passenger trains no longer ranning beyond that river. Tue town of Maxan, the. lint in question, is some twenty miles distant from Wissembourg, just captured from the French by the army uader the Crown Prince of Prussia; and, as this town seems tobe the point on which the three great German are now conceutrating, the railroads will, of course, be entirely at the service of the mlilary, and the interveniug ground Will have to be traversed on {| horseback. | FEELING IN SOUTH GERMANY. | The war is altogether as popular in the kingdoms | of Bavaria and Wurtemburg and the duchy of Baden as in France ttseif, and it would be safe to assert that the French aud German peoples have forced thelr governments into hostilities—not the governments the people. There is greater evidence here than in France of military preparations, nearly the entire able-bodied population being apparentiy engaged In drilling; but, notwithstanding the vast bodies of men I have passed during the previous four days, every individual 1s armed with the needle gun. I entered Germany by the old city of Con- stanes, where the famous Ecumenical Council was heid some three hundred years ago, at which ; John Huss was found guilty of heresy and j; Sentenced to the stake. The immense hall in whicii tile council was heid still stands in admirable preservation on the shores of the lake, and the house wherein Huss resided is algo well preserved asone of the “lions” of Constance. The city has a quaint, medigval look, and were tt not for the mod- ern costume of many of the citizens and the biue- coated soldiery hurryiug to and-fro in the narrow streets one might rub his eyes and fancy bimself back In the times of the Tudors. AN UNPROMISING ADVENTURB. T had not been one hour in Constance Lefore an individual of the female persuasion (sometimes known as a Woman) enlightened me as to the state of German feeling in regard to the war. I had occasion to enter a store with the object of making a purchase, and my acquaintance with “Deutsch" not being quite 80 intimate as with French, I used an expression lu the jatter language for the purpose of more fuily explataing my wants, I was ‘being | attended to bya man, his wife, a smal child aud the | female in question, bustuess now being 80 bad in Eu- rope generally that four persons are considered by no means too mauy to help one customer. The old lady thereupon continued the coaversation in Freuch with @ perfection of volubiilty: but when I came to settle for my purchase she acoused me of being a Freach- mau and engaged in spying out the nakednoss of | Constance. I laughed aud producéd my passport as proof of nationality; but that, too, was lusaficient , for the excited patriot, she assecting that anybody in these times couid obtain sucht papers, aud that | She herself could not be mistaken. Womon, like | lunatics and toperg, are eastiy aatisfed with proper | humoring, and this “light of other days’? at length | began to give mo a piece of her mind in regard to the | French Emperor's poilcy and intentions which dis- | closed an intense nuired of all belonging to ulm and Lis countrymen, From time to ume she was en- dorsed by her three companions, and | at last quitted the store with a perfect conviction that the war, in Constance, at least, was @ popular one, and that, Judging by this one family, the Emperor Napoleon 11. has little cause to expect sympathy from the peoples of Southern Germany. And this impression jas been fully borne out in my journeying through Wurtemburg, Bavaria and the Duchy of Baden, THE FORTRESS OF ULM. nearest route to the scene of war would have | army uuder the Crown Prince of Prussia. It 1s entirely in the hands of the military authoritics. Leaving Maxau to return to Carisrube, I witnessed a signt whitch docs not speak well for the efliciency of the German Commissariat. Along train of ralir ad cars was drawn up on my side,or the bridge, and hundreds of women and children were receiving from the soldiers loaves of black bread in the very eventful pertod, while wo witness no instance of discord, wavering or despondency, but only one unanimous, patriotic mpuise, this ts fully sustained by the SYSTEMATIC ORGANIZATION. Thia 1s observable in each department of State, ; Showing the determination of government not to neglect the least detail requisite to carry on and to Push to the utmost a national war, involving, as it doos, the fuvure of this country, It cannot, thon, be & matter of surprise to your readers when we inform them that, thouga hosts are now on the banks of the Rhine and battling within French territory, yet the stroets and Trallway depots here present the most aulmated picture, Indeed, the uninitiated, who suddenly came upon this city and saw what was daily going forward, would very pardonably think that war was in. the ineipient stage, that tue Germans were only commencing preparations for a contiict, and lie could not fail to wonder at and ad- aire the vast scale on which these preparations were conducted. What would bo his sensations, then, If informed that @ milion men, with all ni equipments and armaments, already in the fleld, and that what ie sees ts but a contingent—the Jandwebr newly called in, the eager volunteers, the commissariat trains calculated to provide wee’s ahead—all showing the result of a system perfect beyond a fault, showing also that Germany 1s bent upon straining every nerve for the momentous epoch of the nineteenth century.

FRENCH VAUNTING. “We will soon be in Berlin !" said the chauvins at Paris, and, indeed, they were correct, though uot ta the sense they had inteuded, On Friday lust the Freneu did coine here to the number of many hun- dreds, as prisoners sent from Wissemboure. The frat idea of marching them through the city in triumph was abandoned by the Minister of the Juterior, who imisunderstood, t would seem, the temper of the popu; lace; for when these captives were conveyed on the circular train they were very Randeoiaay recelved by the dense crowds collected to see them. The Turcos aud Zouaves, in their fantastic attire, attracted much attentiou, more so than the brave Germans, their guards and captors, who, on the battle field, had been detaiied aa sentinels. As the carriages slowly proceeded cigars and reireshineut were liberaily supplied by tie denso multitude, and on rival at the station they sat down to a regu- jar meal, Progsian ojilcers walling upon the cap- tured French comiuanders, while the voluateor jadies’ committees waited upon the men.

We are here at a loss to understand why France declared war without being prepared, thus allowing full time for collectiug our army, Which, once on the spot, is in every way, in drill, management and commissariat enperior to them. If not taken by surprise we had very little to risk. The passage of troops and of artillery of every calibre still goes on day and night, bat the carriages do not return empty as hithert»: they bring prison- n | rs, and wounded froin the two armies. The first are rémoved beyond the Elve, the latter are taken care ofhere and in the villages at the foot of the Tanus mountains, where they have the bene6t of a fresh and invigorating air, Some thousand beds have been provided for, but they are all fuil, though the war has only begun in Garnest during the last week. The same ts the case ta the towns on the Rhine, and go faras Stesson. Other slightly wounded sol- diers are sent home to their famtites, if the distance 13 not too great and if they desire it. About a third of the wounded are French, and it telis of the civi- lization of the ‘great nation” that Zousves and Turcos have wounded the surgeous who dressed their wounds by stabbing them with knives they had hidden, so thatone Turco had to be shot, and all have been now separated from the other French prisoners. While there are provided at every way station with sausages, boer and cigars, Turcos and Trade. BERLIN, August 8, 1870. “Richmond taken !’ These welcome words when first uttered in your city could not have produced a more startling effect than did the announcement, late on Saturday evening, ‘MacMahon, the hero of Mageuta, with the fower o/ the French army, totally defeated.” We refrain entering upon details of both the storming of Wissembourg and the Gelsberg and the decisive battle at Woerth, won by the Third army, under the command of tne Crown Prince, who, as you are aware, is the leader of the Southern forces combined with North German troops, We refrain fora very good reason, viz., that no such detatis have as yet arrived, and that your special correspondents will not fail to give graphic descrip- tions taken on the spot. So quickly did one telegram follow another that the Berliners were getting accustomed to this excite- ment, so that when the third followed—namely, the retaking of Saarbrucken and the rout of the frat captors (corps Frossard)—they looked upon {tas some- thing in the ordinary course of things. Yesterday, being Sunday, and a day of leisure, the ample bou- levard of Berlin—namely, “Unter den Linden’— ‘Was one vast sea of human faces from morning till night, The royal salute of oimety-nine guns fired in front of the King’s castie, the special religious ser- vice at the Cathedral of the Dome, attended by the Queen and court, the numerous banners fying and the general tumination converted the day Into one of general rejoicing and holiday. Late in the even- ing a telegram reached here that Paris was declared in astate of siege and all the clements of revolution rife, in consequence of which groups collected, and Alscussed in the most lively manner--quite contrary to the usual caution observed by German politl- cians—the propriety of Marching at once upon the capital and considering the provinces of Alsace and Lorralue as already captured. Some were for dla- posing of Alsace by auueXation to Baden, Lorraine to fall to Bavaria, Louls Napoleon and his Ministers to be exiled, &c., these sangding disputants overlooking for the moment that trite proverb respecting the cooking of your hare. Such 1s the confidence manifested everywhere here that citizens who have a moment to spare will stroll to the Linden, the tnevitable cigarin the mouth, M, peed via Schaffhansen and the rajiroad tn the Rhine vailey.

VIENNA, August 9, 1870. Austria is gt all times one of the strangest and most peculiar States that has ever been hatched together, but at no time has she presented more that 1s curious to an outside observer than at the present crisis, While I write Vienna is filled with runiors of batties and Prassian victories. Although it ts felt that these victories, if continued, are but the fore- runners of the dissolution of the Austro-Hangarian monarchy, still, tt must be coufessed that they are received with undisguised satisfaction by a large number of the inhabitants of this capital, It may be said, without fear of contradiction, that the majoriiy of the German population are opposed to assisting France, and would ight against Germany very un- Willingly. Still, the government is arming and fortifying with all possible speed. All this ts done, I am told, according to the usual system—that 1a, much money 1s spent to little purpose. Great pains are being taken to fortify Epeiies, a pass in the Car- pathtan Mountains, leading into Northern Hungary. I was informed yesterday that nothing was spared in strengthening this position, at whtch, it seems, # Hungarian camp will be formed immediately, in or- der to defend the country ip case Russia concludes totake part in the war. This {s a very foolish ar- rangement with reference to the whole empire. If Austria 1s so short-sighted as to take the side of France and involve Russia in the war, the Russians would march straight upon Vienna from the Polish frontier, paying no attention wiatever to Hungary or the Carpathian Mountains, One thing is certain, Russta will not be the first to break the neutrality, Lf forced to action, sne will have immense influence tn deciding the fate of Eu- Tope, but 1 am convinced she will take decis:ve steps only when thoy shail be auavoidable, In case an opportunity offers itsctf Rus- sia will use all her efforts to re-establish peace. She will, however, be very careful as to the tme when these good ofives shall be tendered, I forced to go to war with Austria the action of Rustia will be greater than it bas been at any tine since 1812. The participation of Russia in @ war ta which Austria would take part on the opposite side would rouse to action all the dissatisfied Slavenians of Austria and Turkey, and the chances that one or both of these empires would go to the ground are very great. Vienna would, in all probability, remain the Austrian capital for a very short time, and the dozens of marble palaces on tie Bosphorus would be likely soon to be turned to better acvount than they are put to at present. THE FRENCH RETRRAT. Telegrams are still coming tu. News has been received of the retreat of the whole French army towards Metz. It is difficult to seo that all this causes any sorrow ln Vienna; indeed, a very large number seem to be glad, while others are indifferent. Speaking to-day with a very intelligent German, a native of Vienna, 1 sald, “Do you not toink that a victory of Prussia over France will endanger the integrity of the Austrian empire f” “ht wiil surely do 80," said he,” but what do you suppose we care for that? ‘The national conscious- ness of the Germans at the present time is so devel- oped that we cure very mueh more for the unity and success of Germany than we do for anything elxe. Here in Austria we are in the minority, excluded from Germany, and therefore our aon og a dif- ferent aad almost hopeless one. The only practical solation of the Austrian question is through union 8 the ed to seatofwar. All thisis done silently and regularly, without any fuss, and even the victorles of our armies are not exaggerated, the Prus- sian = bulletins = reporting less «than =the French avow, Everybody is assured that there will yet be hard fighting, that much blood will yet bo split, and that much misery must yet be endured, that sacrifices of all kinds are yet required; but It ts the unanimous voice of the people that French arro- gance and brigandage must be put down in gocd account, and that the old German p!aces—Metz and Strasbourg—from which we are now attacked, must return to Germany, and their cannon be turned towards Parts, It ls only then that the French will ive up their pretensions for supremacy and pres- ige and preponderance, aud conseut to remain ona Jevel with other people, which, by-the-bye, they have never attained. It is now the duty of our public press to impress. the people that if tae French were allowed to with- draw from the war by paying the expenses and by changing their goverament, they who were anxious to take revenge for Sadowa, which was not their defeat, would certainly seek revenge for their pre- sent mishaps as soon as they have revived their forces, and that the only means to prevent it is to weaken thelr power by taking from them the strong miliary positions they took fraud and violence under Louis XiV,. when they devastated Palatinate, and laid Heidelberg, Worms and Lyons inashes. This was done to please Madame de Maintenon, the fanatic mistress of the King, who wanted to eradicate Protestantism. Should fortune have been favoravie to them the very same enormities would have been committed agaln, a4 is proved by the wanton bom- bardment and destruction of Saarbruck, an open and industrious town, evacuated by the Prussians, 80 a3 not Lo expose her to the enemy's shells, FALSE BULLETINS. With regard to the builetins published by the ene- my, every word 18 a lie. ‘Thus they speak of twenty thousand men expelled from Saarbruck, while it fs evident to every one who knowa the locality that not half the number could be quartered there, and that in fact there were never more than six hundred infantry of che Fortieth regiment and two hundred uhlans. These withdrew when attacked by three French divisions. ‘The same is the case with regard to the Wissembourg afar, where twelve to fifteen thousand Germans were engaged against eight to tea Wousaad Frenck—certalaly aot one hundred of the German provinces of the empire to the rest of Germany. When Count Bismarck excluded Aus- tria from the German confederation he did not do x0 ‘with the intention that we should be forever separate from our Kinsmen of the North. It was absolutel; necessary ihat Austrian Influence should be climt- nated from Germany for a time. After the prelimt- nary work of uniting the different principaliies and rovinces shall be completed in a manner never to attained while the imany peopled and despotic Austria had @ voice, the time will come for the return of the German part of the movarclly to the bosom of the German family.” “That,” said I, “will bring about a dissolution of the monarchy, the incorporation of Vienna und the loss of the throne of Hapsburgs, Will it mot? “Oh,” sald the citizen of | Vienna, «the Bapsburgs can go to Pesth, They have uot known how to put themselves at the head of the German movement, They bave n known how to make themselves represe tives of German ideas. They have, therefore, ceased to have an tndependent significance tn G man history. The Hohenzollerus are great, because they are the figureheads In Gerinany at the present day. So long as they keep that position they will be Strong. Should they fail to undersiaad this ta tne | future they wiil go the way of the Hapaburgs.”” With such feelings as these it 13 easly imagined that Prussia is not without sympathy ia Vienna. in cage Prussia gains a decisive victory—and judging by the news of to-day her victory promises to be no Jess brilliant than it was in 166é—the days of Anstria gre numbered.

The portion of his speech referring to Ger. many sounds honest ag well a3 sensible. He that the government and the circle with whom the decision of the polloy to be adopted lies have, emphatically, no idea of endeavoring to regain for Anstria what she lost in 1864, and procceds to declare that a recovery of her former position would be no blessing, but rather a misfortune to the empire. Imcommenting upon this Speech the Augsburger-Aligemetne-Zeitung re- marks:—An Hungarian statesman could not pos sibly wish to see Ausiria again gravitating towards Franktort; but just as Uttle could he desire that a miiltary state, hostile to the dynasty ana to the existence of the united empire, which would sur- render Hungary to the Russians, shonld arise tm Germany.” SWISS NEUTRALITY. At a moment when the conduct of each of the European Powers ts so. enormously important (6 may not be ainiss to mention that, in answer te ap aécusation which appeared in several journals that “Switzerland Is a French arming ground,” several Prominent men have signed a letter stating that, by published order of the government, no foragn soldier, armed or unarmed, has been permitted to pass the Swiss fronticr, and that before the formal deciaration only unarmed soldiers were allowed te cross. MUNICH NEWS—THE AMY MARCH. Munich is ty @ tranquil condition. Irvops are sUll passing through, but most are already further on thetr way to thelr destination. Of course there are preparations making for the wounded, and funds collecting for those whose support is gone, or whom the chassopots will render destitute, An or- der has been issued that no ox shail be slaughtered in Munich, on pain of a One of twenty dollars, all the best beef being required for the army in the fleld and inthe fortresses. There 1s some excitement over the fact that the former French Seoretary of Legation has placed himself arder the protection of the English embassy and remains in Munich, & course people not unreasonably say, in the capacity of spy. Otherwise the pretty little city is perfectly quiet. ‘Tho concerts in tho beer gardens take place as usual and are well attended, though one remarks the total absence of lusty young men, - THE COUNTRY AND THE OLERGY.
