The Russian difficulty in the East still menaces the general peace of Europe. In consequence the London Stoek Exchange is feverish and ‘‘panicky,” and there are hints from England of a probable change in the Cabinet, in order that the appa- rently bewildered and hesitating Glad- stone, a fair weather Promier, may be superseded by the decisive Earl Russell, the warlike associate in his day of Lord Palmerston, | Russia, the Zimes says, ‘is calm but firm, and yields nothing ;” and ‘England must be firm,” | while still keeping the door open to diplomacy.

Vague rumors have been set aflout of the existence of a considerable num- ber of formidable iron-clads and floating bat- teries in the shipyards of the Bug and the Dnieper, ready for a descent into the Black Sea ona very short notice; but as it is hardly possible that in those inland waters Russia ; would underiake to construct a fleet to dispute with the navy of England the armed occupa- tion of that sea, we conclude that, whatever may be the character and extent of the naval | preparations of tae Czar in that quarter, they Foarteomth sreet—Puruman- “BROOKLYN OPERA, HOU —Wrion, Moeurs Wrire's Minsrer.s, THe 4 ATASTROPAE, &C.

At all events, it is evident that upen this Black Sea que-tion Russia ‘‘mears business,” and that the present oppertunity is very invit- ing. France, prostrated and helpless in the grasp of Germany, will be out of this Eastern conflict, in the event of a war, and the entente cordiale between Russia and Prussia secures the Czar on his Western frontier. Austria, looking to the line and the mouths of the Daaube, will, of necessity, be an ally of England ; and Italy and Spain, leoking to their interests in the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal, must support, as far as they can, Eng- land, Austria and the ‘‘sick man” of Turkey. Denmark and Sweden may be drawn to the same side, and yet, with Russia relieved from | all dangers on the North and the West, the Czar may preve a match, with his immense | armies, for the whole coalition on the land and aie sea against him in the South. Nor must it be forgotten that, if Russia can have no fleet to cope with that of Eagland in the Black Sea, she has a squadron of iron-clads in the Baltic equal, perhaps, in strength to half the avail- able armored ships of the British navy. In short, giving all that may be asked to the probabie coalition against Russia on this East- ern question, she has, in reality, so little to ose and so much to hope for from war as to balance at least the chances—peace or war. But even while this Eastern war cloud has thus enlarged till it overshadows ali Europe, the local difficulties of France, Spain and Italy are of such a nature as to divide the general attention of the civilized world. There appears now to be very little hope for the French republic or for France. The capitu- lation of Paris may be close at hand; and the army sent forward to its relief from the South, is, with Tours, ia more imminent danger than Paris itself. King William has broadly suggested that there can be no peace without the annexation to Germany ef Alsace and Lorraine, and no peace without a responsible government for France. Does he mean by this the restoration of Napoleon or his regency, ora call to the throne of one of the younger Bour- bons? We cannot tell; but the capitulation and surrender of Sedan and the capitulation of Metz point to the Napoleonic dynasty. If so, and if there is peace upon this basis, we may leok for anether revolution in France with the retirement of the Germaas. In Spain the conservative royalists have won their game in securing aking; but the revolutionary republicans are in an ominous state ef combustion. They appear to be pow- erless against Prim and his well-managed army; but from this very triumph of a king Prim and his party may be driven to the wall. The new King ef Spain is a son of King Vic- tor Emmanuel of Italy, The King of Italy has recently appropriated the States of the Church, including the city of Rome, and he has done this in response to the general voice of “young Italy” for Rome as her capital, The Pope has protested at every step against these sacrilegious outrages; they say he has ordered the churches within his Holy City to be closed with the entry and during the presence of King Victor, and at last, ali other resources failing, the Holy Father has issued a bull involving the “major excommunication” against the afore- said King of Italy and against all concerned in aiding and abetting him in these heretical aud abominable spoliations ef the patrimony of St. Peter. This may prove ‘‘the Pope's bull against the comet,” but it may prove some- thing worse to the excommunicated parties, As the head of his Church the Pope is infalli- ble. All good Catholics, therefore, as bis fol- lowers, raust support bim. in thie excommuni- cation of the King of Italy and the Italians— anathema marenatha, Between the infallib.e Pope and a fallible king the loyal Catholic must stand by the Holy Futher. The King of Italy, then, and all his backers ia these Roman spoliations may soom find themselves in hot water, and in a hot fire, too; and the faithful Catholica of Svain mpy, perhaps, be inspired toa revolutien against this son as an acces- sory of an excommunicated robber of the Pope. These things may come to pass; but, on the other hand, the Pope may be compelled to seek a place of refuge under the protection of the Queen of Protestant England in Malta, or under the wing of the Protestant King of Prussia somewhere in Germany. The bull of the Holy Father against the King of Italy and his confederates is a declaration of war and means a war with the weapons of the Church against the usurping State now in occupation of Rome, Will this war end in the quiet re- tirement of the Pope from his capital, or will it go oa until these existing European compli- cations, and revolutions and factions become more complicated than ever? Who can tell? We can only say that this fearful encyclical of the Pope must be considered as another added to the difficuliies in the way to the pacification of Europe. The War Situation in France, If report speaks correctly, the battle which is to decide pessibly the fate of France is now progressing. From Tours we learn that heavy cannonading was heard yesterday in Orleans, and it was thought there that a battle had taken place near Arteney. The result was believed to be favorable to the French, How this couclusion was arrived at we are unable to decide, as the report which announces the battle gives us not the slightest piece of information upon which to base any such conclusion. The German armies now in the valley of the Loire are estimated two hundred thousand strong, and this estimate is not very much exag- gerated, if itis any. The Army of the Loire, and the forces co-operating with it, must also be very strong. An official report from Tours ashort time ago set down the ferces under General Paladines’ command at three hundred thousand men, There may have been three hundred thousand men on paper, but that any such force could be brought into the field properly equipped and ready for active service we very much doubt. Paladines’ army, how- ever strong it may be, will meet in the coming straggle, or in the struggle probably now going on, the very flower of the German army, commanded by favorite generals, whe have led their soldiers on te victory in every engage- ment in whieh they have been in during the pre- sent war. From this it will be seen that the odds are larze’y against the French. Besides, even if beaten, the Germans have large re- serves to draw from, and, as if to be prepared for any emergency, the German forces in the north of France are rapidly concentrating, and large bodies of troops are moving southward toward Paris and Orleans. On the French side the Army of the Loire is the hope of the nation—we might say, the forlorn hope. That destroyed, and the cause of France is lest. Such is the situation to-day as we view it. The Immigration Convention at Indiena- polis. There does not appear to be much result from the Immigration Convention which has been in session at Indianapolis for seme time past. In fact, it looks very like a dead failure. There is very little in its proceedings to givo it a higher tone than @ mere political and rail- road machine, This is to be regretted, be- Reduce Taxation. Why should the peeple of the United States be taxed so enormously? Why should they | be called upon raise a revenue of four hun- dred and sixty millions a year? We say four hundred and sixty millions, for that is accord- ing to the rate of the Treasury income at pres- ent, the revenue for the last quarter, ending September 30, belng ever @ hundred and fifteen millions, Three huadred millions a year should pay all the current expendi- tures of the government, the interest on the debt, and leave a surplus of twenty- five millions, at least, to be applied to tho liquidation of the debt, The current expenses for all the departmenis—war, navy, civil service, pensions and all—ought not to exceed a hundred and fifty millions, We are at peace both at home and with all the world, with the exception of some Indian wars, which need not be costly. Indian wars we have always had, and the regular army of our peace establish- ment is sufficient for this purpose. Nor is there any fear of any other war. ‘The army is no longer required for reconstructing the South, if, indeed, it ever was, for that section of our country is restored and acting in peaceful har- mony with the North, A large standing army Is therefore unnecessary. Admitting that we should have both a larger army and a respectable navy, in proportion to the increase of population and the growing importance of tbe republic among the nations of the world, these branches of the public service ought not to cost over sixty millions a year. This would leave ninety millions for the civil service, including pensions, if we reckon the total current expenditure at a hun- dred and fifty millions, Who will not say this ought to be sufficient? Indeed, it is too much for an econemical administration of the gov- ernment. It is double the amount expended ten years ago, just before the war. Add the interest on the debt, which is about one hun- dred and twenty-five milliens, and the total revenue required to meet the demands of gov- ernment is two hundred and seventy-five mil- lions. With an income of three hundred mil- lions the government would then havea sur- plus ef twenty-five millions a year for the liquidation of the principal of the debt. That is all that sheuld be asked now of the people who have spilled their bleed for the Union, and who have already paid so much of the cost of the war. Is it not monstrous, then, to tax us at the rate of four hundred and sixty mil- lions a year? The adwinistration boasts of having reduced the principal of the debt. What else could it do with such an enormous income? But would it not be better to boast of taking off the burdensome taxes? Would it not make more political capital, if that be its object, by relieving the people of their burdens than by paying se much of the debt as it is now paying? Besides, such a stupendous surplus revenue leads to cerruption, extravagance and the em- ployment of an army of office-holders, - It tends to sap the foundation of public virtue and to demoralize the community. It leads to extra- vagance among the peeple and keeps up high prices. Tha manufacturers may wish to perpetuate this system of raising an enormous revenue, because it calls for a high tariff and affords them protection; but the mass of the people—the farmers, planters and all the cause the subject is really one of great me- ment, A geod deal might have been done at this gathering of men from all quarters of the country toward a better direction of the immigrant element toward those points where industry—and the capital, too, such as it is, which the immigrant brings with him—can be best applied for the mutual interest of the country and the immigrant. The retirement of the New York- delegation—provoked, it is said, by attacks upon the management of the Emigration Commission in this State— brought the Convention to a speedy and not at all amicable cenclusion. The reso- lutions of the Convention are composed of mere generalities, There is net an original suggestion to be found in them. In short, the affair was very badly managed and proved a mere fizzle, out of which the railroad and transportation companies—who, it is said, were most interested—will probably not make much. We want yet a perfect, good system for the protection of immigrants, but it is evidently notte be found in a convention like this in Indianapolis. Revival or AMERICAN Commercy.—It is understood that President Grant's forthcoming message will recommend the passage by Con- gress of a law permitting the issuance of Ame- rican registers to foreign built ships owned in the United States. This announcement has aroused the Eastern shipbuilders, who are actively at work endeavoring to counteract the President's recommendation. They con- tend that the effect of such a law would be to at once close most of the shipyards in the country and preduce much distress by threwing great numbers of workmen out of employment. Representative Lynch, of Maine, has taken the shipbuilding interest in his special charge, and will, immediately upon the reassembling of Congress, press the pas- sage of the bill for the revival of American commerce introduced by him at the last session. Now tuar Uncie Sam is laboring under water for the removal of Diamond Shoal, between the South and Staten Island ferries and Governor’s Island, why don’t our State authorities provide some method for remov- ing the “above water” obstructions near the same spot by regulating the length of the canalhoat tows that are constantly interfering with the transit of the ferrybeats between this city and Long Island? Watt Srerer Arrer THANKsGivine.—Wall street made a close holiday of Thanksgiving. Hence there was a general good-humored settling back to business yesterday after the relaxation and recreation of the day previous, The European complications, the session of Congress and the fresh agitation of financial questions are likely to render the winter cam- paign in the strect a lively one, ote eres tern Tux Terre Havre (Ind.) Gazette, speak- ing of Gratz Brown, admires his courage, and says “‘he is made of the stuff oat of which Pre- sidents ought to be made,” A good President should’always bave plenty of ‘‘grit,” and that Gratz has sufficiently, we doubt not, to suit Quy Indiana contemporaries industrious elasses—are the sufferers. If Congress would reduce the taxes a hundred and fifty, or even a hundred millions a year, which the government could very well afferd, the amount thus saved to the people would go to the development of the country and to increase the national wealth, The next generation, or even the people ten years hence, would be far better able to pay the principal ef the debt than weare. Reduce the taxes, then, to the lowest point that an eceno- mical administration of the government and a sinking fund of twenty-five or thirty millions a year for liquidating the debt will admit. A revenue of three hundred milliens ought to be amply sufficient for this. We advise General Grant, Secretary Boutwell and Congress to establish a system of financial policy in accord- ance with these views. ¢ England After the Suez Canal. It is said England is about to secure the right of preperty in the Suez Canal. The collapse of the imperial government of France and prostratien of the resources of that country have driven M. Lesseps to England for funds to pay himself and to keep the great enterprise going. It is known that the canal does not pay simply as an investment and in a business point of view, but it is of great value to commerce, particularly to British commerce. No private company could afford to buy or keep up the canal. This could be done only by one of the great European- governments ‘from its own resources entirely or by backing a company that might purchase the work or assume the management of it. France being no longer in a situation to carry out this object, England must do it, or that magnificent work of modern science and enterprise will probably prove a failure, Apart from the political and international importance of possessing and controlling the Suez Canal, the commercial interests of Eng- land require it to be kept open and in order, In view of thase considerations it is probable that the rumor is true that the British government is negoiiating for a transfer of the rights and privileges of isthmus transit to itself. Ping: Spain AND THE Unitzp States. —When the American schooner Grapeshot was captured three of her crew were shot without trial for supposed intention of participating tn the Cuban revolution, This fa'e has. repeat- edly befallen American citizens. A short time since the Salvador went to Cuba with arms and other evidences ef the intentien of those aboard to participate in the war. Being ina sinking condition all the crew escaped except five or six, who were condemned to death by a military tribunal, The English Consul inter- fered and they were set free and paid for their time lost in confinement. Why are we not as able and willing to protect our citizens as England? Why was the’ mail of our naval commander detained. a. ,week when a little English gunboat obtained hers in a few hours? It is high time the American people had de- manded of their rulers some explanation of their course in reference te Spain and Cuba, and also of the contempt with which our fieg ig treated by Spaniards in Cuban Wabi The Cabinet Crisis fa Kngland—Poace oF 4 Ware Downing street is deeply excited over tho Russe-Eastern question difficulty. The British Parliament not being in session the responsi- bility of advising her Majesty the Queen as to the national policy in the crisis rests solely on the members of the Ministry. Unaided by legislative advice, this is a very serious and exceedingly grave position for Premier Glad- stone, Our cable telegrams do not indicate, however, that he intends to summon Parliament in » extraordinary session. That the Cabinet is not a unit on the question ef peace or war, for Turkey or against Russia actively, is plain enough. The Ministers met in council in Loadon yesterday, The session was protracted, and the discussion of the situatien and general prospect curried on, no doubt, in an animated and anxious maoner, The Ministers were divided in opin- ion, and it is quite evident that no satisfactory conclusion had been come to at the date of our latest telegram by cable, Prince Gortchakoff’s note was read. There it was, it presented a solid, substantial and stubborn fact—the Treaty of Paris on the one side, and the absolute necessity of Muscovite expansion, the exigencies of a universal commerce and the imperious demands of a progressive civiliza- tion on the ether. Not only was the Gortcha- koff note read, but alse came the knowledge of the assurance that the Czar remains firm to his first position and evinces no disposition to recede from it. Earl Granville sought an audience with the Queen, anda reconstruction, if not a resignation, of the British Cabinet was deemed inevitable. Thero may be a reconstruction. England can scarcely under- take the fermatien of a new Cabinet ia the face of such a European agitation. Indeed, itis barely probable that any one of the opposition parties in Parliament is powerful enough to discharge the duties of a Ministry—able to form a new Cabinet. John Bright intimates, it is said, his intention to resign his seat in the Cabinet. We are told that he has re- signed, This event may happen. The Man- chester school men have nothing in common with the aristecracy in politics. Manchester dees not waat war. She demands foreign trade, new and old customers, industrial hands, not seldiers, and a reduction of taxation instead of a war budget. The democracy of Great Britain is a fraternal democracy; it is economic and, so long as net directly in- sulted in its nationality, peaceful. Russia on the Black Sea will not injure the metro- politan reformers of England, and the Treaty of Paris will not purchase one day’s pre- visions for their children. stitutes the conservatism of Eurepe. It may serve to avert the calamities of anew war from the homesteads of the Old World. Prus- sia inclines to an active sympathy with Russia, and in this is to be found a point of danger ; for if the two great military Powers should really coalesce they may undertake some very serious work in the way of rectification near home and in the East. Austria predicts peace, The Hungarian Chancellor is reticent, how- ever, even te Parliamentary inquiry. The London ‘Change was panicky and the commer- cial world of Britain excited. Such is the situatien. For war er peace? King Wiiliam’s Speech te the North Ger- : man Parliament. King William has not so mueh as Queen Victoria been in the habit of delivering his speeches by royal commission. On this occa- sion, however, royalty is justified. The King, commanding the army of invasion at Ver- sailles, cannot speak to the North German representatives assembled at Berlin. His speech by commission is, therefore, justified. It is a geod speech. It justifies the war, not on the side of France, but.en the side of Ger- many. The reasens given are good, France began the war; Germany acted on the defen- sive. France is beaten; Germany has won. Now that she has won, and that all Germany follows the lead of Prussia, King William, speaking for Prussia, can afford to say, ‘‘ No peace without adequate eompensation.” ‘‘It ia above all things necessary,” says the King, “‘that we should establish a safe frontier for Germany, against the continuance by future rulers ef France of desire for conquest.” The same day that brings us King William's speech brings us the news that Bavaria, the greatest of the South German States, and Catholic, has signed the treaty which makes all Germany, with the exception only of the Austro-German States, a unit. Prussia, with her heel on France, and the whole German people implering her to take them in charge, justifies all that Kiog William says, and com- pels the admission that reconstructed Germany is hencetorward te be the proudest Power of Europe. Austria knows her danger, and Russia is disposed to be conciliatory. With the Prussian King—the future Emperor of restored Germany—at the gates of Paris, the “national idea” may well be said to be near “its full realization.” In modern times—we mean in the last three hundred years—no position so proud has been occupied by any monareb. King William and Bismarck will live in history as the saviors of Germany and the benefactors of mankind. Senaror Cameron returned to Washington yesterday from his pilgrimage to Georgia. The Pennsylvania Senator is one of our shrewdest politicians, and, observing the unfavorable aspect of affairs in Georgia, concluded to give the republicans in that State the benefit of his experience. The Senator has evi- dently ‘fixed things” in the interest of his party. He returns bringing words of cheer for the radicals, and thinks that with a full vote his party will carry the State. In order to prevent intimidation of the co- lored voters and to insure a fair election he considers the presence of federal troops abso- lutely necessary; Governor Bullock endorses Senator Cameron’s views, especially as re- gards the necessity for troops. The Governor, however, is in training for the United States Senate, hence his particular anxlety for a ‘fair election” and radical success. How 10 Exp ‘tHe War.—The Boston women have solved the problem of how to end the war. They propose to talk it down. Women’s tongues have many times worked wonders; but as few fair Hubites understand French and German their efforts in the pre- agat combat will be comparatively fruitless, This situation con- | The Dethrened Emperor ef France. History, in reproducing itself, as it some- times docs with marvellous exactitude of detail, still fods new forms adapted to each epoch. The splendid captivity of Napoleon TIL at the Palatial residence of Wil- helmshihe~which some have ventured to call the Yersailles of Germany—irre- alstibly reminds ps of the detention of the first Emperor of his name during the peried that preceded bis exile to Elba, and afterward to St. Helena, But the surroundings and cir- cumstances of the time aro greatly modified. Napoleon I. came inte power riding high upon the tidal wave of popular commotion that fole lowed the great moral and political earth- quake of 1792, which shook down the feudal system and the throne of Louis XVL, estab. lished the first French republic and assembled the National Convention. This preliminary shock to the old settled monarchical scheme of Europe came on the 4th of May, 1789, wher the States General, after a sleep that seemed like death, of one hundred and seventy-five years, was summoned to meet at Versailles, In less than four years from that date the supremacy of the Bourbons had been over- thrown, and the gentle monarch whose hard fate it was to expiate the offences of his pre- decessors had been guillotined. In six years more chaos had settled into government and Napoleon was appointed Firat Consul. Ere five years had been added te the last the same man, covered with both civic and mili- tary glory, bad been proclaimed Emperor of France. Thus, between May 4, 1789, and May 18, 1804-—a lapse of about fifteen years— the whole face of European politics had been transformed, and an obscure lieutenant’ of artillery had risen to the prondest eminence in the world, not as its greatest living soldier merely, but as its most illustrious and most powerful crewned head. Some of the cigeumstances that preceded the rise of Napoleon III. resembled those just narrated, but the starting point of the latter menarch was far more exalied and advan- tageous. Even in exile and poverty he was a prince, with the hale of the Napeleonic glory hovering about him. No long and perilous services in the field and no dazzling achieve- ments in council were required ef him. He was elected te the French Assembly, and after- wards to the Presidency of the republic, on the prestige of his family namo in 1848, and from that position to the coup d'état of December 2, 1851, and theelection as Emperor on December 2, 1852, he had but a step to make with all the hopes of the army, the Church and the moneyed classes centring upon him as ‘‘the saviour ef society.” From the hour when he became, indeed, the raler of France he fol- lowed, as nearly as the altered time and the more educated minds of men would permit, the “‘Napeleonic ideas” of which his unele had been the originator, and which he had person- ally endeavored to explain in his celebrated work on the ‘Idées Napoléoniennes.” |The very life and soul of these was the enforcement of the Napoleonic cede as the basis of French social organization under the new régime, and the most succinct and striking defence of that able combination of ancient and modern law we derive from the language of the first Emperor himself. It embraces, moreover, an exposi- tion of the principles and aims of the Napoleonic government and reasons for its downfall which, by here and there trans- posing terms, will throw light upon the catas- trophe that has overwhelmed it in 1870 as it did in 1815. The great soldier's view of Washington will also be found singularly appo- site to the epinions of Napoleon IIL concern- ing America, as uttered the other day through the columns of the Hzraup. My one code, said Napoleon to his friend Las Cases, at St. Helena, has done more good in France than the mass of all the laws that preceggi me. Under my reign crimes were rapidly decreasing, while among our neighbors, the English, they increased in a frightful manner. And that is enough te pre- nounee definitely on the respective administra- tions. This positive assertion of Napoleon is amply borne out by the full and exact statistics given by Montvéreau in his ‘Situation de l’Angle- terre,” from which we extract the follewing concise tabular statement :— ——PRANOR.———_ ——ENGLAND.—_ Inhavi- Condemned Inhadi- Condemned tants. to Death, — tants, to Death. 34,000,000 882 16,000,000 3,400 42,000,000 392 17,000,000 6,400 The reader will be impressed by the aston- ishing decrease of condemnations in France, especially when he contrasts it with the heavy increase of her population in ten years, while in England, on the other hand, with but a single million added {o her numerical total during the decade, the number of condemna- tions, enormous as it was at the outset, almost doubled. But the inspiration for these excelle nt ideas of government the Emperor frankly ascribes to the example of the United States, of which his successor, Napoleon ILI., has, through our columns, expressed such high appreciation. And see in the United States, says Napeleon I. to his biographer, how, without effort, every- thing prospers ; how happy and peaceful every- thing is there! It is in reality the public will and interests that govern. Put the same system at war with the wishes—the interests of all— and you would immediately see what confusion and what increase of crimes weuld ensue. Arrived at power I should, according to the American idea, have become a Washington; the words cost nothing, and surely those who pronounced them with such facility did so without comprehending either times or places, men or things, Had I been in America I would willingly have been a Washington, and Ido not see how it would have been reason- ably possible for me te have done otherwise. * * * For me, personally, 1 could have been nothing in Europe but a crowned Wash- ington. It was not in a congress of kings, in the midst ef kings conquered or mastered, that I could become such, Then and there alone I could show with effect his moderation, his sagacity, his wisdom. I could not reasonably reach that position excepting through universal dictator~ ship. To that I aspired. Do thy make me out a criminal for doing so? Will they think that it was beyond human power to have laid such control aside again. Sylla, although gorged with crimes, dared to abdicate, even although pursued by public execration. What motive would have been strong enough to stop me? 1. who had aaught but blessings to
