The Zouaves are ferocious fel- Jows, the Turcos complete savages; had they come to our fourishing towns as victors there {9 no say- lng to What miseries we should have been subjected, ‘There can be no doubt that this was intended.

Thus the votes of their Chambers are one more silly than the other. They vote that they will not listen to any mediation for peace as long as the enemy, 0 called, {4 on their territory; they thereby render use- Jess the exertions of nentral Powers without having the means (o drive the enemy out. They brag about calling wm old soldiers and of arming their clerks, shopkeepers and work people, all unskilled in war- fare, and the consequence ts that our well dritied landwehr is now prepared to join the army, besides the reserves, which are already ready to marc t moment's noties, and which are quite suMcient fio neutratize any reinforcement they might be able io send into the fleld, Already 70,000 men, under Vogel von Faikenstein, hitherto employed io protect the districts on the coasts against # French landing, are on their way to France, aa the troops kept ready at Cherbourg e been seut to the army, and even the mariners have passed Varis on their road to Chaions. FRENCH DEMORALIZATION. ides the discomiture of weir army signs of rottenness become apparent every day. t ety, afler having mobbed a respectable merchant, Josepn Mayer, residing there for torty years, and protected on the first assuult by the prefect, they lave now hung him at hisdoor.” There Was DO other motive for it but his being a Jew and a rich imap, At Stras- bourg the commander bas closed the Protestant temple, under the plea that prayers have been offered there for the Germans. If true It shows that there is iu Alsace no such uviversal French feeling a8 Was Bupposed. While our enemies are aoing their best to prove to the world that they are not at the bead of ctvilization and that thetr cause is not that of liberty and humanity, our government avoids to retaliate and to soil our Just cause by inflicting unnecessary yeaa Thus General Beyer, commander of the troops in Alsace blockading Strasbourg, states, in his proclamation to the Alsactans:--‘‘We are neighbors, living peace- ably ther and speaking the same language. Ger- many never desired war with France, and even now ‘we want to spare human life and to save property. We shali keep discipline and protect all unarmed in- habitants of towns and villages.” PROTECTION. ‘The commanders of the active armies have equally promised ali peaceable Frenchmen their protection, and everything that may be required by the armies hag been paid ior to prevent any oppression. Large transports of provisions pass here day and night, 50 that our armies might dispense almost aitogether with Uving initee quarters. Unfortunately our peo- ple fs heavily taxed by this wanton war, though ail 1s done voluntarily and cheerfully.

Vienna, August 14, 1970, In the year 1806, immediately after the battle of Koniggr: Baron, Beust was sent by the Emperdr of Austria on a mission to Napolgon IL, for the purpose of obtaining some assistance for the defeated empire of tne Hapsburgs. Instead of an answer to his request for ald, Beust was met by the question, ‘Que voulez vous que je Jasse pour Vautriche?” (What do you wish that I should do for Austria?) The present Austrian Chancellor gave the French Emperor to understand that an army of 80,000 on the Rhine and @ French fleet in the North Sea wonld be exceedingly serviceable to Austria in concluding a treaty of peace. To this Napo- leon answered, “Je ne suis pas préparé Pour une celle entreprise. Dans vos négociations vous ‘me trouverez; ' Autriche trouvera la France.” (L am not prepared for such an enterprise. In your negoclations you will find me, Austria will find France.) 2bis was certainly a cool reception, the cause of which no one except Bismarck and Napo- leon, together with their coufldunts, auderstood as the time. . On Sunday last Count Beust saw the positions changed, Napoleon was the petitioner and Beust the source of power, After tne battlo of Woerth the Empress Eugénie mado the following request to Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador at Paris:—‘‘4u nom de VEmpereur je vous supple, de- mandez a votre gouvernement, quil Jasse quelque- chose pour nous dans ce moment.” (In the name of the Emperor I beg of you to ask your government to do something for us in this moment.) ‘The request of the Empress was telegrapned to Vienna and received from Count Beust the answer:— “It 1s too late for milltary aud too early for diplo- matic intervention.” I 1866 Count Beust could not have known tho real reasons Which prompted Napoleon to leave Austria to take care of herself; for that it wasneces- sary to have Bismarck’s disclosures at hand. The auswer of the Austrian Chancellor, while belng well worded, and at the present crisis perfectly trae, has in ita certain sUng which cannot but be felt by the man who ts now looking in yain for allies, ana who in 1866 thought he had sold Austria for @. co0d price. He did indeed sell her, but for nothing. BISMARCK AND NAPOLEON, Whatever may be thought here of Bisraarck there 1s no doubt of the unpopularity of Napoleon. The publication of the Benedettl treaty has made an im- mense and lasting impression on the public mind. ‘Lhis is the more real from the fact that tn alt weil instructed circles itis believed that Napoleon made propositions to Count Beust ior the purpose of weakening Prussta and dividing the spolis between Austria and France. The Wanderer ot last even- Ing contains the following remarks on this sab- We have new disclosures concerning the policy of Napoteon, both before and since the year 1866, coming ali sides. ‘The oficial disclosures of the man Chancellor, in which Count Benedettt played “a very pitiful role,” opened the series, Later the Stadtsanzeiger published the original text of the projected treaty writien by Benedeutt biniself. One of our own papers now comes out ‘with an account of negottations witch are said to have taken place between Napoleon and Count Beust, To tls category belong tue disclosures by the Hungarian paper German-Hungarian Monthly, couceriing proposals made by Napoleon to Count Beust at Salzburg. The Wanderer goes on to state that the Hungarian paper tg responsibie Jor the authenticity of the dcc- ument presented, which is as follows: Furst,—The Buveror Napoleon engages to give Austria active help in case the latter shill demand of Prussia a strict adherence to the treaty of Prague, or shall be obitged to insist on it by force of arms, Second.—The offensive and defensive alliance between Prussia and South Germany to be abolished Violation of the treaty of Prague, and the South an States be cansed to form Le pe rere under the protection of France and Austria, having their own Parliament in Vienna.

WHAT £4R POLITICIANS SAY. ‘That proposals have been made and probably ac- cepled is the couviction of many. An old resident of Vienna, who knows very well what is going on in the poutical world, told me to-day, with reference to hegowations between Krance and Austria, Count Beudt Nad an excellent opportunity to repair the for- tunes of Austria through the assistance of France; his courage, however, failed him, aud the favoravle moment has gone forever. This country has gone through a strange phase of war feeling since the be- ginning of the confict, or, more correctly, sinc the declaration of war by France, fo the beginning the Emperor and Coant Beust were very strongly tn favor of war, and were supported by the Archduke Albrecht, together with the Minister of War. It was only halos} to Count Andrassy and the Hungarian influence, in conjunction with the party sympathiz- Ing with Prussia, that the Vienna Cabinet arrived at its present conclusions, Whether Andrassy would be so strongly in favor of peace if Hungary had boen better prepared for War is & question that is not so clear to the minds of many of the German party. Al the Poles are eager for Austrian intervention, in favor of France, and many of the Hungurians think that Poland is ready to rise in case a signal Was given; that in that cage they wouid be able to make head against Rassla, However it may be with all these combinations I have been assured that the war aris is rather on the increase in Hungary, where is Was held back in the beginning on account of the Country being unprepared for actlon—tuat is, bay toeci ficient e combination was Austria and Tarkey against Russia, while Italy was to help France. Ir siearolégn had been a8 cautious as his opponent Bismarck be would have endgavored to bring about some com- bination which Would have assured him allies. As Matters now stand it is to be expected that peace ‘Will not be broken; at the same time there is a very considerable party iu favor of war if circumstances shatl be favorable. Russia ts the bugbear of the Polish and Hungarian parties, as Prussia is begin- ning to be, A Hungarian, the other evening, told me that those of his countrymen who are at ail awake to the realities of tue situation dread the success of Prussia, which they look upou ay placing the dismemberment of Austria beyond a doubt and making the avsorpilon of the remaining part of the empire by the great Kutheriaud merely & ponent. sho | tion, but they make short work.

Alarming Outrages in the North—Tho Dispo~ sition te Violence Extending—Attack on @ New York Judge—Brutal Assault on His Companions—Feellng ef the Catholico Orangeiem. Oman, Tyrone County, August 1%, 1870, Party feeling, not only in Londonderry, put throughout tue entire province, was never go high or go dangerously fevered as at present, “since Priv day last sectarian spleen has vented itse!fon severar occasions, and in a manner disgraceful to manhooa and to humanity. Unoffending men and women have been waylatd, beaten and abused to an extent bordering upon murder, and all this because they belonged to a party hostile to that of their assatlants. The most disgraceful of thewe attacks Was tat made last Sunday evening on Judge McCunn, of New York; the Rev. Father MoMallen, parish priest of Qoleraine, and Mr. Andrew J. McKenna, editor, . Mr. McKenna, who was the leader of the Catholic party in Derry, 1s not, owing to the decided part he has taken against them, a very great favorite with the Orangemen. Mr. McKeana is & young man of very great ability and holds very extreme liberal opinions. He left Londonderry on Sunday afternoon with the intention of returning to Belfast. On ar- Tiving at Coleraine be met some friends, with whom he Was speaking, on the railway platform, when the train moved away. There being no other train to Belfast be proceeded w Porirush alone, to spend the evening. In Portrash he met Judge McCunn, of New York, who 1s, I understand, @ native “of the north of Ireland, and who has, for the last few weeks, been over here on @ visit to his friends, Im company with this genticman and in that of the Rev. Mr. McMullen, P. P., who ts universally re- spected for bis hverality and kindness, Mr. McKenna returned to Coleraine, A MOS. A short way from the station an organized mob, having bludgeons and stones, suddenly sprung upon the three gentlemen. Mr. McKenna was the frat who received w blow from @ stone, which was hurled at him with such forco.as to bruise his temple seriously and fell him to tne earth. The attack was made ag the three gentlemen were turn- ing the corner of @ street called the Diamond, at which place an immense boarding has been erected round a large warehouse ia course of erection, and which afforded ‘convenient shelter for tne assatl- a . y kicked Mr. McKenna abont the face and bouy. He was cut in severui pluces ald bruisea in # terrible manner, THE JUDGE.

THE RESULT. Mr. McKenna was then lifted and carried into the Corporativa Arms Hotel, waere Dr. Houston, of Coleraine, was in prompt attendance, For @ con- siderable ume Mr. McKeana was tasensible; but under the skill of the dootor and the attention of lis iriends he gradually recovered, and was able, with some diiticulty, to proceed to Belfast next day. Though at preseut th a weak and puintui condition, Mr. cKenna, wccording to the opinion of some medical wen in bellast, {3 not in immediate danger. WHERE IS THE REDRESS? Itis perfectly useless to make any comment upon this disgraceful oatrage, which is a scandal to the community in Which it has occurred. Such exhi- bitions of brutality are ouly to be seen in Irish clues, and there, strange to say, they take place with impunity. Not one of the cowardly ruttians engaged in this unprovoked atiack on these three geniiemen have been brougiit to justice, One would be almost Inclined to stispect that there is some con- nivance in reference #e these party confifets on the part of the police alld ethers entrusted with the maintenance of the public peace. Where were the constabulary when this terrivie outrage was being perpetrated? Coleralue is not very sarge. 1b is, loo, & remarkably quiet town; and yet in this small, peaceable town a@ brutal mob were allowed, Sor fully half an hour, to belabor three gentlemen, without any action whatever on the part of the p Not one arrest was made, Not a peuenen was present; and the three men might ave been Kilied, aad L suppose also burimd, beiore one of these functionaries would have known any: thing of the fact. FACTION. If the assatiants in this mstance had been Catho- lics the case, | think, would have been diferent. In Derry, as we have seen, none but Roman Catholics were arrested, aud no one present during the cele- brations will deny that tte Orange party were quite as nusctilevous as their opponents, REVENGE. The feeling between tne two parties, bad as always has beeu, is now worse fhan ever. Great indignation Was feit here among his followers when it was reported through the city yesterday that Mr. MeKeuna was killed. L heard it muttered In several places, yesterday and to-day, that the con- duct of the Orangemen towards Mr. McKenna would be revenged, There 1s, J fear, bat too much reason. to believe that it will, and that, too, before many weeks are over. The authorities, if would seem, entertain the same opinion, as the forces are to re- tnuln in Derry for some time to come, MORE OF It.
