Yesterday the British Minisiry in Cabiaet Council resolved to act promptly and decisively in reference to the note of the Russian government further observance of the treaty of Paris dating March 80, 1856, as it now stands. At the same time orders were Issued for the recall of every British vessel of war that could be spared from outlying posta and foreign stations, and while a heavy naval force is concentrating at Portsmouth and all the depots in the United Kingdom ring with ‘“‘the dreadful note of preparation,” a powerful fleet is getting ready to sail with all possible despatch for the Mediterranean, At the same moment we learn directly from our special correspondents in St. Petersburg that unexampled naval and military activity prevails in all the arsenals and ports of Russia. The requisitions for 1871 amount to double the totals fer the past year, and the preliminary work is pushed with uaremitting energy and secrecy. Ina word, the “best informed circles” at London con- sider war between Great Britain and her allies, whoever they may prove to be, on the one side, and the Muscovite empire on the other as unavoidable. With this startling announcement, backed by the most positive statements from authori- tative and reliable sources before us, it may be well to consider for an instant the exact stipulations of the famous treaty in question, the revision of which the Czar specially demands. Article eleven of that treaty reads as fol- lows:— - The Black Sea is declared neutral, and although it remains open to the merchant marine of all nations ius waters and its ports are formally and perpetu- ally closed to vessels of war, whether they belong to Universel—the organ of the French provisional This Our despatches, special and general, from being the case, the imposing inference government-—that such is the fact. at once confronts us that Russl The War Situation.

The mutterlogs of the storm grow louder while we write, and before this week shall have faded into the past the tempest which means fresh holocausts of human life and the devastation of vast regions still wrapped in peace may have burat upon Christendom, In other columns we have carefully com- piled the active military and naval estimates of Great Britain, Austria, Italy and Turkey— the probable leading allies, should this trouble change to war—and of Russia and Prussia, should they coalesce. It will be seen that the Western Powers, if we include France, num- ber for immediate action the greater force of men, ships and guns. But, on the other hand, the Russo-Prussian might would battle on interior lines, with every advantage of present position, instant attack, season, climate, and the vast interior of the North German realm and the Russian mainland. Moreover, the hidden sources of discord, now merely suspected, might burst upon England and her allies, and ‘‘chaos come again” in their courts and camps, as we have seen it come upon the late Napoleonic empire. war is an abyss of fathomless uncertainty and gloom.

As the game of chess now stands it fs at a very critical point, The army investing Paris is said to feel frightened at the situation. The men cannot be spared from the works to rein- force the Grand Duke’s army, or even to furnish an escort to the King on his way home. A determined sortie from Paris simul- taneously, with a determined attack from a large army posted at Chartres, would probably overthrow the entire line of investment and scatter the Prussian force throughout the country—a country now united in bitter hos- tility to the invader and teeming with Francs- tireurs. The Health of the City. It is very satisfactory to know, from the returns of the Board of Health, that the metro- polig is at present enjoying an absolute im- wunity from contagious. diseases, and that the mortality for the past week has been less than for the same week in many years past. This proves two things—that Providence is very kind to us in bestowing the blessing of such delicious winter weather as we are now enjoy- ing, and that the sanitary affairs of the city are very well managed. We cannot forget that a fearful contagious disease—yellow fever—has been knocking at the gates of the city all the past summer, craving for an entrance and eager for an opportunity to get a foothold in our crowded localities, and that the demon has been kept out by the unceasing vigilance of the Health Officer of the port, Dr. Carnochan, through his rigid quarantine regu- reat alarmed; Prince Gortschakoll’s De- oy and Turkey mutually engage to neither con- | would require another article.

The monarchy of Aosta is likely to be voted by the Cortes, bat Carlism appears just as if to neutralize the parliamentary action.

Alabama claims abroad, But, again, articles twenty and twenty-one of the Paris treaty annexed a large tract of Russian territory to the principality of Mol- davia, which article placed along with Wallachia under the suzerainty of the Turkish Sultan.

A correspondent of the Richmond war, prepriately made the subject for especial recognition of the mercy of Divine Providence. An UNREASONABLE Dovst.-—Judge Bedford had before him yesterday a river thief named Lake, charged with the burglary of several thousand dollars’ worth of goods from the depot of the Southside Railroad, at the foot of Roosevelt street. The point of doubt as to his guilt lies in a question of identity, one witness testifying that he had on a mus- tache when he saw him, and another that he was passing a false mustache about among some of his confederates. The policeman knew him to be ariver thief; the proceeds of the robbery were being devoted to the pur- pose of his defence, and he had even offered to compremise the matter since the trial began, but the jury—laymen of the law—failed te agree on a verdict and were discharged. They had their doubts—some in the actual matter of his guilt and some as to the question of his identity—but while itis well to be sure of one’s guilt before condemning him, there is such a thing as an unreasonable doubt, and that evidently stood in the way in this case. Currine Aprirr tHe DEAD Woop.—Three hundred workmen have just been discharged from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They were hired by government temporarily for elec- tioneering purposes just prior to the election. But Tammany beats this, for no less than two thousand workmen were yesterday discharged from the public works in this city. These dismissals will throw a large class of indigent people upon the charities of the city, if they do not lead to the perpetration of crime during the coming winter. We learn, how- ever, that about one-half the number dis- charged from the city works will be re-en- gaged, only the ‘‘shirkers” and bad characters being left out in the cold. Senator Sconvrz, who, from beng one of the most extreme radicals that the republi- can party could conveniently carry, has come to represent very fatrly and fully the most liberal and conservative doctrines that the party bas ever advanced, had a conversation on the critical situation of the party with our correspondent in Washiogton yesterday. He holds that the government is strong enough for universal amnesty and universal enfran- chisement. He thinks that the defeat of the republicans in the late elections will have one good effect—it will make the coming session of Congress talk business, and avoid buncombe or bluster. Tur Disorpers IN VENEZUELA continue as bad as ever. Everywhere throughout the country disorders, resulting in bloody con- flicts between the two factions of Guzman Blanco and General Hernandez, prevail. The latest news tells us that fierce battles have taken place between the contending forces, and that large numbers of men have been killed on both sides, They are so accustomed to this kind of thing in Venezuela that revolu- tion is now regarded there as the rule and peace the exception. Hotps Her Own.—Maine cannot be catled Governor Heffman’s Albany pooch. The speech of Governor Hoffman at Albany, on Tuesday night, in response to serenade of the Jackson Guards, touched some very important points in the future of the demo- cratic party. Itwas a mere local compliment, of course, tendered to the Governor upon his re-election from the citizens of Albany; but the Governor improved the occasion by deal- ing largely with the question of the hour. He recited the story of federal interference with the exercise of the franchise in this city, at the late election, and how miserably it failed to effect the purpose for which it was intended. We all know how weak and futile that attempt was, how fairly the election was conducted after all, and how everybody is satisfied with the peaceful and decisive result, The Governor, accepting for his party the responsibility of the future, declares that the democratic party should so shape its policy and conduct its affairs as to command the con- fidence of the people. This is a wise doctrine. A momentary triumph is not always the fore- runner of permanent success; but the demo- cratic party have now in their hands the golden opportunity which they can improve if they choose, with a view to obtaining a control of the general government in good time. The Governor's speech points in this direction. Popular thought will follow him— it must follow him—in the view of the results of the late elections all over the States. When the Governor speaks such words as these which we quote he represents the good sense of the whole people and not of a party. The ideas are outside of mere party. claptrap. They rise above the mists and shadows of par- tisanship. Governor Hoffman says :— As we bury our dead out of sight, whether they be friend or foe, so it behooves a great party to bury dead issues and to direct the whole force of its en- ergy to dealing with the living facts and questions of the day, ey will crowd upon us fast enough— questions which relate to finance and taxation, to Teduction of expenditures and taxes under the fede- ral government and the Stute, to free canals, free trade, free elections and to the assertion and matn- tenance in every way of the right of American citi- wens everywhere and of @ free people in the free States to the blessings of @ frev constitutional gov- erament in the United States, This Js a policy with whigh no one gan quar- ref upon honest grounds. It is broad enough for a whole nation to stand upon, If the vic- torious democratic party only fills up this picture, with all its lights and shades so deli- cately putin asto make a perfect work, we may have no reason to regret that the votes in the Electoral College will count a majority of six for the democratic candidate for Presi- dent. Free Reading. The benefit of free libraries for the people has been frequently demonstrated. Perhaps in no community are they more necessary or more available than in ours. The report of an institution in Brooklyn, which provides free reading rooms for the young and adult popu- lation in one district, demonstrates the very gratifying fact that over a thousand eight hua- dred boys have availed themselves of the op- portunity for the past year of visiting the reading rooms, and thus passing their time valuably which might otherwise be wasted on the streets or occupied in idle and vicious amusements. Why should we not have several establishments of this kind in New York? Our charity is boundless ; a portion of it might be exercised iu this way. The children of the streets, those bright-faced, fair-browed enfans du pavé, who are yet to become either good citizens or curses to society, just as we direct them, are not unsusceptible of refining influ- ences; but they want a helping hand to lift them up a little, just a little, out of the slough. They can be made to read and enjoy reading for the pleasure it affords if the oppor- tunity is only offered to them. We suggest, then, that free reading rooms on the principle which has worked so well in other cities should be established here. Under good management we think that their good effects upon our juvenile population would soon be demonstrated. Goop So Far as 1r Gors.—General Grant says, ‘What the people want is the payment of the public debt, the reduction of expen- ditures, reduction of taxes and an economical administration of the government.” It would be a wonder if they did not. But we hardly think, as it is assetted the President does, that this platform alone will carry the repub- lican candidate into the Presidency in 1872. It is very good so far as it goes. But it dees not go far enough. Something else is wanted to rally the republican hosts and cause them to concentrate their forces. Unless these new elements be infused in the party its return toa healthful condition is hopeless and its final dissolution only a question of time, A Botp Oren Day Roppery.—A_ bank messenger was on Tuesday tripped up in the street and robbed of thirteen thousand dollars in gold certificates and promissory notes. In this case the biter was bitten, inasmuch as the certificates and notes can be of no use to him, But doubtless he deems it his misfor- tune and not his fault that he secured no more available booty. Perhaps, however, he may hope to make something yet by the operation in the usual way that banks and their despoil- ers unfortunately have of compromising mat- ters. He will not object to restoring his useless prize for a suitable reward and no questions asked. AN ON THE REPUBLICAN Famiry Trovpies.—The Boston Advertiser— republican of the Sumner-Motley school—is out in a long article reading the Chicago Tribune out of the republican party. The fight Is getting hotter and hotter. A Jowy Jack Tar was married in St Peter's church, Barclay street, yesterday, to the girl of his heart, under peculiar ciroum- stances, He was taken from the receiving ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he is serving, by order of his commander, taken to the chureh by his guards and a detective—who acted as witnesses to the ceremony—and then, after five hours’ houeymoon, was returned to his ship and to his duties. A warning to all, whether sailor lads or marines, who don’t treat their sweethearts fair. Tae Ivrerview ‘wir Naroutox.—Tho Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat refers to our a aaa ata icecream Napeloon’s History of the War—The Horald’s Special Telegram from Wile belmabohe. We published on Tuesday morning a history ofthe Franco-Prussian campaign of 1870, in) which the main causes which induced the great struggle were set forth and the progress of the events which followed its inception, down to the moment of the fall of Bonaparte, passed in review. The paper reached us in the form of a translation of the proof shoets of a pamphlet which fs to be issued immediately at Brussels, under the title of “Campagne de‘ 1870; des,Causes qui ont Amen¢ la Capitula- tionde Sedan. Parun Officier Attaché l’Btat Major Général.” The contentg of the pamphlet are quite important and interesting in a Bona- parte point of view. The words will stand forth . to posterity as the best defence which French imperialism can make under the circum- stances—want of exact preparation for such a serious, terrible event as the opening of a war with united Germany and an unreserved acceptance of the consequences of its failure. The writer appears as a “prophet of the past.” Ho knows now of the vast effective force of Prussia. He is aware that Austria and Italy did not, as it was hoped in Paris they would, “make commen cause with France.” In the concluding lines the author expresses himself thus:—‘God grant that the terrible drama which is now being enacted may serve as a lesson for the future, and that our country may rise again from the catastrophe which now overwhelms her!” The werds of this French aspiration convey a sentiment of resignation, penitence and religious charity, blended in such a Christianlike shape that thé most beneficial effects may even yet be expected from its cultivation and practice by the royal exile. The ex-Emperor of France enjoys a very briltiant reputation as a pamphleteer, and we have no doubt but the “History of the War,” as we term it, will havo. ® very extensive sale. 3 We are almost certain of it, indeed, not-~ withstanding the fact that the main features, almost the very words of the brochure, have been already submitted tothe American people and the world at large by the special enter- prise of the Hzratp. We have anticipated his Majesty, and frem his own lips. Oa the 10th instant we devoted six columns of the Heratp space to the publication of a ap of the interview of our special correspondent with the Emperor at Wilhelmshéhe. This telegraph letter was transmitted by special despatch through the cable at a very heavy cost. Its narrative outlined the Brussels pamphlet. We sub- mitted Napoleon’s case to the jury of the nations by electricity. We are proud of our enterprise, and would not recall it even in deference to the pamphlet system of Bona- parte or in consideration of the anticipated profits of his publisher. His ex-Majesty has employed himself as a book writer at different periods, and, although he did not com- plete his Life of Julius Ovsar, the approach of some of the most important acts and events of his life has been heralded to the world from the presses of the Paris book~ sellers. This plan was available, useful per- haps, at the period of the landing at Bou- logne—useful even at the time of the coup @état. The subordination of science to the work of diffusing intelligence through the great newspaper press has been completed, however, since that moment. We have grasped elec- tricity, girdled the earth with a sentient chain and found a universal tongue. From New York we commissioned our correspondent to present himself to his Majesty Napoleon at Wilhelmshéhe. He didso. He was cour: teously received. Napoleon spoke to him, and, through him, to the world. He acknow- ledged the power of the telegraph, because obedient to the law of progress, and antici- pated his own pamphlet, to the American world, at least, by means of the instantaneous commu- nication of it through our pages. His present history of the war is exceedingly interesting, notwithstanding. It affirms our special cable telegram report from Cassel and Wilhelmshéhe, and its publication will almost certainly prove very remunerative to the Brussels printers. The pamphlet will do for the libraries; the Heratp special report is already imprinted on the brain and heart of the million, Its con- tents will be handed down, viva voce, from: the present to posterity. Napoleon’s pamphlet will stand as his personal written attestation of. its truth and correctness. The Edinburg Review on Germanys. France and England. From the Leonard Scott Publishing Com- pany we have received the latest number of the Hdinburg Review, Yor its excellent re- prints of the great English reviews this com- pany is entitled to all praise. It gives us the best English literature at the smallest pos- sible price. In the last number of the Hdin- burg there is one article which revives all the glory of its best days. Joffrey, Sidney Smith, Brougham, Horner, Macaulay and many others have through the Hdinburg Review shed the lustre of their genius upon the world. In this-latest number of the Review there is an article on Germany, France and England, said: to be written or inspired: by Premier Gladstone ; but, whoever wrote it or inspired it, it ig. not to be denied that it re- vives all the glory of the past, and compels the reading public to admit that the parent of English quarterlies is still primus inter pares. To understand this war,.to know how Frauce has been defeated, to know how Germany has. won, to. know what England is prepared, to. do in the event of a general war, the October: number of the Adinburg Review must be read.
