THE GERMAN OCCUPATION OF FRANCE. Conflicts Between German and French Soldiers Averted by Bismarck and Moltke—Trou- bles Increasing—Prussians Anx- fous to Leave France. ROvEN, July 22, 1871, Ihave news concerning the Prussian occupation. Tn ali parts they have rescinded the orders establish- ing the state of siege. It was by the direction of Von Moltke that this was done, inasmuch as from the reports he received, as well as from those made to him by the French government, 1t became evident that there was danger of serious trouble. Exaspe- rated by THE INTOLERANCE OF THE PRUSSIANS, who, in most places, seemed actually desirous of causing strife, the people were preparing for a strug- gle. In spite of the vigilance of the Prussians the citizens of Rouen, Amiens, St. Quentin and Nancy especially had collected revolvers, knives, sword canes and other weapons, including rifles, and were becoming more and more determined to “fight it out.’ Of course such a state of mind could not but lead to trouble, and each night Prussian private soldiers and sometimes ofl. cers were killed. This naturally rendered the Prus+ sian soldiers all the more harsh, and it needed only a spark to fire the-mine. I have reason to know that the French government sent word of all this to Bis- marck ana Von Moltke, and dwelt upon the utter IMPOSSIBILITY OF RESTRAINING THOSE POPULATIONS undaly oppressed and tyrannically treated. They cited by name those Prussian commanders who drink to excess and then issue such repressive and unnecessarily itksome decrees, and the French gov- ernment also dwelt upon the fact that most of tho Prussian ofMicers were actually encouraging their men tw make use of the:r firearms upon the slightest provocation, and insisted upon the fact that in case of au event so aeploratle the French authorities Would be powerless to restrain the once fully aroused populace, It is supposed that the concluding argu. ment on the part of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs had the greatest weight in inducirg Von Moitke to peremptorily order the commanders in the invaded districts to be less overbearing. M. Jules Favre argued that were the troubies to continue there might be much difficulty experienced in THE FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE WAR INDEMNITY, There was danger that the people of France might desire the war renewed at all hazards, many in the country being persuaded it would be cheaper to fight ‘it out than to pay. As nearly all the French prigonera have by this time re- turned, and as France can now certainly raise @ much more formidable force than she had when tue war began, 1¢ may well be supposed that Bismarck deemed tt best, at all events, to avoid trouble in the towus and places above mentioned. So AT AMIENS, where it was fally expected there would be dis- turbance on account of the early closing of the annual fair, the danger has been avoided by the raising of the state of siege. was assured at Amiens, by & Prussian officer, with whom I had an interesting conversation, that a continuation of the strict rules enforced for some days would have caused a general rising. ‘We were so surg of this,’” said the officer, “that we ordered our men to keep a constant watch, We doubled all the posts, and did not ourselves walk about the streets unarmed, as had been the case for some time." IN ROUEN the Prussians charge that the people have obtained arms trom the French soldiers on the left bank, and that they (the Prussians) cannot prevent thé People of Rouen from having arms, inasmuch as they cannot be all the time searching houses or places where arms may be concealed. For these reasons they were p.cased to know that, by orders trom headquarters, there was to be less restriction. I may mention that I find among the Prussians, oM- cers and mca, much discontent at the prolonged occupation, leading, a3 it does, to such exaspera- ton and destre for retallation, THE NEXT WAR. “Having achieved such extraordinary successes,” said a Prussian officer to me, “we should have sought to conciliate the people of France more than we have. In another war we shall have nothing to gain and all to_ lose, We can again never expect to find France so totally unprepared—so badiy commanded, A ro- public Wiil make war Ina diverent magner than did the empire, and now that GAMBETTA isagain inthe Legislature of rrance we must ex- pect that he and lis friends will urge on tie people to a struggle for revenge. Should France follow this advice—should she prepare for war, and, sure of the co-operation of Alsace and Lorraine, actually com- mence the struggle, who can be certain that it will terminate for us as this last war? At any rate, we should suffer great losa of live, and even were we successful our gala could not be greater than at present. Southern Germany gains but little at best, and we of that partof the new empire would be much grieved and disturbed by any more warring.” The same opinion, this officer says, is certainly shown by all Southern Germany.

The Fleet at New London—Tranquillity, Music and Enjoyment—Appearance of the Yachts and Surroundings— Programme of Coming Evente—Races Between the Crews of the Yacht:— Grand Ball at the Fequot House. New Lonpon, August 7, 1871. Delightful weather and pleasant surroundings contribute to render the preliminary portion of the cruise as agreeable as the most enthusiastic yachts- man could desire. The flect is at present in the best of order, and seen from the pretty slope near the Pequot House looks the very acme of perfection. As an exhibition of naval architecture, wherein beauty and stability are intended to be prominent, it is most creditable to the New York Yacht Club, and well worthy the encomtums that have been passed upon it. Some of the new vessels have been closely criticised, and among them the Columbia, which appears to attract considerable attention. There is now a splendid representation of the Club, although the number of yachts at anchor will be largely in- creased in @ day or two, so that before Thursday over twenty first class schooners will be under way for Nantasket Roads, where preparations are being Made fora grand regatta, So far everything has been quiet, but the very tranquillity of the place is charming ina high degree. The yachts lie at anchor in close proximity, each as trim and neat as could be; cutters and gigs pass to and fro the live long aay, sweet music 1s discoursed, guests and visitors are speeding from craft to cratt, each rivalling its neighbor in hearty welcomes and hospitality. Now and then a fresh arrival comes scudding to the harbor, and in honor of her advent a round of salutes heralds her ap- proach, A balmy preeze keeps fanning a delighted throng, both afloat and ashore; for while the yachts are crowded a fashionable assemblage promenades the grassy banks, A feeling of subdued enjoyment and repose pervades the scene. In fine, though there 1s no hilarity, the clements of refined taste aud luxury are in tull play. THE PROGRAMME OF COMING EVENTS is very attractive, and the result of some of the regat- tas will be looked forward (to with interest, not only by yachtsmen, but by the public at large, since the paatime has recently assumed a degree ot populanty tshould long ere this nave attained. The partici- pation by the new vessels in some of the contests will be a matter of some importance. The evident desire of nearly every yachtsman to have as good @ craft as can be had for love or money at once shows a very commendable spirit to advance the already excellent reputation of our pleasure navy, and should the new vessels dis- tinguish themselves 1n the coming races so much the better. It must nevertheless be always borne in mind that the state of the weather must be taken into consiieration as bearing on the qualities of dif- ferent vessels; for a3 a general thing yacht owners claim certain distinctive features for their crafts, The old saying of what is good for the goose t3 equally advantageous for the male of that species will scarcely carry suficient weight to be credible in regard to yachting. Butstnce most yachtsmen are at all times anxious for @ good scupper breeze, the best thing we can have, to satisfy all hands as well as to determine the pe pone qualities of vessels, 18 the aforesaid breeze. In the coming races many features will be developed that will doubtless tend to increase the value of the improvements that have recently been made, THE REVEILLE 7 ‘was sounded this morning at eight o'clock, the clear notes of a cornet echoing far and wide, Then boomed forth a gun irom the flagship, and up went the colors on every vacht simultancously, with a promptness that spoke much for the discipline of the fleet. Subsequentiy a band of music on board the fagsnip played tue following programme :— ‘Barlow The morning was bright and cheerful, and tne ap- earuuce of the harbor was exceedingly pleasant. nnumerable little crafts, gayly decked with bunt- ing, were seen in all directions, thelr occupants being mostly composed of ladies, who had come out to view the yachts. ‘The scene was altogether extremeiy preity, At nine o'clock, upon a signal from the flagship, a meetung of cap: tains was heid on board that vessel, in order to arrange the proceedings of the day. It was tinally resolved that A SERIES OF BOAT RACES between the several crews should be given in the evening, and that the fleet should get under way atan early hour to-morrow morning for Martha’s Vineyard. During the afternoon the yachts were thronged with guests, ana many pleasant excur- giops were made in the Sound, music still lending its charms to the eajoyment of the occasion. THB BOAT RACES. A large assemblage congregated this evening on the whari upposite the Pequot House and along the banks leading to the city to witness the boat races between the crews of the yachts at anchor. Al- though the affair was gotten up simply for amuse- ment there was, nevertheless, great excitement manifested, as nota iuttie rivalry existed between the several crews. Fleet Captain Schuyier superin- tended the arrangements, the following being the terms snd conditions under which the prizes were to be held:—The first prize was offered to the gigs and cutters of the squadron pulling not more than four oars. First Ig ize, a silver cup; second prize, @ game cock, and therewith two flags, on each of which is embroidered a representation ot the above-named bird, The winner of a prize to be entitled to hold it for three days withont liability to challenge. On the expiration of that ume am challenge must be accepted, and the race pulle within forty-eight hours thereafter, or the prize bo forfeited to the challenged party, and the boat holding the prize for four consecutive races not to be again lable to challenge until the com- mencement of the yachting season of next year. fae Racing Cominitice consisted of Fleet Captain Schuyler, Moses H. Grinnetl and Robert Hone. The crews of the following yachts entered for the gig race:—Kambier, Fleetwing, Dauntless, Volum- bia, Dreadnaught and Wanderer. The course was from a line between the flagship and the wiart off the Pequot House, and the course was thence to and around the steam yacht Herald, anchored off Fort Trumbull, turning her from the eastward and re- turn, the distauce being about two and @ half miles, THE RACE. At twenty minutes past five o’clock the signal was given for the start, and away went the contestants ata vigorous pace. The crew of the Columbia led of in capitat style, followed by the Wanderer’s gig, and next by the Rambler's, Thencame the gigs of the Dreadnaught, Dauntless ana Fieetwing. There was scarcely any change of positions throughout the race. ‘The boats passed the steam yacht Herald in tae order mentioned, the Riga of the Dauntless, Dreadnaught and Fleetwing foullag while rounding that stakeboat, After a good pull homeward the Columbia's crew won the race amid great cheering. TAK SECOND PRIZE was offered to dingies belonging to vessels of tho squadron pulling two patr of sculls, the crews being attached to the yachts to which the boats be- longed. First prize, a silver cup; second, owl and two flags—this prize to be held upon the same conditions as for prize No.1. The race for dingles took place immediately after the termina- tion of the gig race—the steam yacht Herala bein, in this instance anchored south of White Rock, an the distance from the starting point a littie over a mile. The entries for this race were from the crews of the yachts Magic, Fleetwing, Rampler, Gracie, Dreadnaught, Dauntless and Addie. The Addie’s crew took the lead at the start, but fouled with the Gracie’s, which kept ahead to the finish. This race created much excitement, owing t the proximity of the competitors. During the contest all the yachts in the harbor were,crowded, and the scene turoughout was one of considerable animation, DISTINGUISHED ViS!TORS. During the day Mile. Nilsson, accompanted by General McDowell and staf, visited the feet. The party Was received with appropriate honors, ‘The yachts Wanderer and Madgie arrived in the forenoon and the steam yacht Dawn of Day in the evening. THE BALL GIVEN TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB to-night seems to be a splendid atfair. There are no decorations; but nevertheless the entertainment is very fine. the Pequot flouse is crowded, and the bali 1s very largely attended, A most noticeavle feature 18 the brilliant array of toilets. Ail the rooms are thrown open, and the house, both inside and outeide, presents a brilliant spectacle. Nearly all the yacht owners have avtended, and the scene isone of much gayety and animation. Dancing did not commence until ten o'clock, at which hour the band struck up some appropriate music, and the Perpsichorean festivities were at once indulged in with considerable zest. A more fashionable or brilliant assemblage has not congregated at the Pequot House for years, and the compliment con. ferred on the New York Yacht Club ts well worthy the occasion. While writing the balcontes and cor- ridors are crowded to excess, and the ball 18 pro- ceeding in the inost harmonious manner. Among those present are Mile. Nillson, General McDowell and stat’, O. L. Frost and family, Henry Havemeyer, Surrogate Hutchings and Mrs, Hutchings; Juage Bedford (the guest of Mr. Franklin | Osgood, of the yacnt Columbia); c. Dennis, A, 7. Snelling, G. @, Raven, H. L.

PEGATTA OF THE ATLANTIC YACHT CLUB. GREENPOINT, L, L, August 7, 1871. The open regatta of uhe Atlantic Yacht Club on Saturday was highly satisfactory.

All classes started fincly, the sloops as even in time as possible. It was a beautiful sight as the feet stood down the bay, foilowea by a dozen or more other yachts, Including the Idier.. The wind was too light for the Greenport sloops’ pest sailing. The course was to tne stakeboat on Crow Island Shoal, Gardiner’s Bay, thence to the boat off Orient Point House, thence to the homeboat, distance tweuty-four miles.

CLARKE LU BY’S LECTURE. Groat Meeting at the Cooper Union—Enthusiasm of the Audience—8pecches by O'Donovan Rossa,John Mitcho 1 and Clarko Luby. The Cooper Unidn was filled last night to overtow- ing with a highly intolligent and enthustastic aual- ence who, in spite of the sultry neat of the evening, came to pay their homage to Ireland’s “lost cause,” Notwithstanding the oppressive heat the assomblea thousands listened with breathless attention to THE WORDS OF FIRE in which the orators of the evening condemned English government in Ireland, One of the most remarkable features in this great reunion was the presence of the representative men of all the many disunited Irish parties, It seemed as if for a mo- ment the hatchet had been buried in presence of grave news that the cable has flashed across the At- lantic, and it appeared as if Irshmen were begin- ning to be ashamed of the petty bickerings that keep men apart who claim to be ANIMATED WITH THE GNE PURPOSE. Long before the hour of meeting the doors of the Unton had been besieged by an eager crowd, and in a@ few minutes after the opening the hall was crowded to inconvenience, Although some delay occurred in organizing the meeting the most per- fect order was maintained until about twenty min- uls after eight o’clock, when a crowd of prominent Irishmen entered upon the piatform. As soon ag ROSSA, MITCHEL AND LUDY wero recognized the audience rose to their feet and gave cheer after cheer in tie heartiest manner for these gentlemen. It ts absolutely impessible to de- scribe the scene of enthusiasm which followed on the appearance of the representatives of two impas- stoned periods of Irish history. The gallant felon of '48 denounced, as only Mitchel can denounce, the “butcher Clarendon” until, like a modern Sam- son, he shook THE PILLARS OF BRITISH GOVERNMENT in Ireland, and the later victims to a noble devotion to the cause of Fatherland, When the excitement had somewhat calmed O'DONONAN Rossa came forward, and was again greeted with hearty applause. He said:—Ladies and gentlemen, in love or in war, or indeed iu any good cause, it is important to make a good beyin- ning, and I cannot do better than propose that your friend, your country's friend and England's enemy, John Mitchel, should take the chair. Mr. JouN MITCHEL then came forward and was repeatedly cheered. He said:—My friend, O'Dono- van Rossa, has aptly descrived me as THE ENEMY OF BNGLAND. if 1 am not always, as he, to be the effective friend of Ireland, We have met here to-night to hear some of the hopes and aspirations of Ireland from one who 1s well fitted forthe task, and who has long sulfered in her cause. 1do not mean to occupy the time of this meeting by giving you my views, which most of you already know be- sides I have suiicient be yeoryyd to aevelop my own views cvery week. We are here to-night to listen to fresh thoughts on the subject of Ireland from a man who long lavored in her cause and sul- fered five years in a dungeon, where he had the op- portunity of coolly refecting on his views. But I cannot rise up and hold my peer. In face of THE HORRIBLE NEW: that has just come to us through the cable. A peace- ful assemblage of the people of Dublin go out to the Phoenix Park in tie exercise of their undoubted right, and take with them their wives and famiites. They go out tranguilly, unarmed and unprepared, and take up a position inthe people’s park. Their object ts to apply to the English Queen to release the comrades of these gentlemen whom she suil retains in prison. It 1s AN AMNESTY MEETING. They have met before. Last year 28,000 met at Cabra without interference, but since then that sanctimontous Minister, Mr. Gladstone, has had an act passed which enables the police to disperse every meeting, no matter what its object, and, if it refuses to dissolve, horse, foot and artillery can be brought to disperse it. The police came up and found atthe head of the procession my friend Patrick Joseph Smyth. If ever there was adangerous post to take, a forlora hope to lead, Patrick Joseph Smyth was the man. I have a right to say it, for ho stood at my right hand at THE MOST EVENTFUL PERIOD OF MY LITg, when Lescaned from the British prison in Van Dicman’s Land. He was ordered to be silent, and he refused, and the police walked in witn stave and pistol and brutally assaulted the peaceful citizens, Tiis 18 what they ca!l justice and liverty in Ireland, It beer all that Lhave attempted in my ilfe and jui tified all that the gentlemen about me, who have s{rugzied later, nave attempted or will attempt again, This is british government in Ireland.

This gentleman, who 1s rather below the middle height, of light, wiry frame, with dark whiskers ana ‘sharp, expressive features, came forward and said:— Meg : i LApfes aNp Feitow Counrrymen—It is my first duty to thank you for the kind tac you have ven me, I wilt not take the compliment entirel; 0 myseif, for | know that when such reception accorded to an individual itis because he Is in some sort the representative of the people.

What I propose, however, to say is this truth, and 1 can do without adornment of style: I stand before you ia the light of a defeated man, but [hope the audience which is here gathered does not measure men by the standard of success. If we do our duty, whether we succeed or fall, we merit sympathy. The great lesson that history teaches us 18 that success is always purchased by a series of failures. If we look at Italy and Hungary we see this truth illustrated, And if Hungary bé not to- day absolutely independent site 1s at least as free as any of your own States, Even in Ireland, Wex- forJ—the county that in 93 most distinguished itself—has since suffered less from LANDLORD TYRANNY than any other. Be cautious of menwho talk to you of failure. There are times when even if defeat e certain it is the duty of men to force on a fight, and show the world that they are no more brag: garts, but are ready to die for freeaom. People who talk of failure are those who never believed, but were drawn into organizations by personal friend- ship. Heed not those Mgt pg Listen only to the true Men who show you the road to honor and preach duty. Though we have fatled in tue high aim We proposed to ourselves we have wrung more from England than O'CONNELL, with all his mighty pow er of controlling other men, obtained tn a quarter of a century. We do not thank England when she grants a boon, because she ouly gives itin the hope of sapping the foundation of Irish nationality. I think I will be able to prove that their last concessions were a mistake. I don’t ‘wish to hurt the feelings of any Protestant—I repre- sent as much the Catholic as the Protestant ele- ment—for in my family we have PARSONS BY THE WAGON LOAD, and on the other hand there are a number of good nuns to pray for their conversion. In disestab- lishing thé Uhurch Mr. Gladstone has made enemies of the Protestants of Ireland, and, though the old people will no doubt preserve much of their bitter- ness, the young men, who, are like us, Irishmen, will Swell the national ranks, ag many of their fathers did. Had any one told metweive years ago that the most popular menin Ireland would be Pro- testants—if some one had said that Galbraith, the celebrated Protestant professor, would be at tho head of A MOVEMENT FOR REPEAT, I would have called him a madman, We have seen @ measure of tenant right given in the hope of win- ning the former from the cause of ireland; but the reason {t has not done harm ts because tt is not a generous bil, aud the farmers now want the fiee- om of their country.

We have forced England to throw of the mask. She was always boasting of her trial by jury. her habeas corpus, and was able to throw dustin the eyes of foreigners, and even of Irishmen, by keeping up the spurious pretence Of free government, Talk not of representation. Were we a homogencous people Yorkshire could Os ag our interests as well as ourselves. But had we ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR CATOS, instead of representatives, as easily corrupted as possivie, they could do nothing for usin the British THE FILIBUSTURING PIZZLE, A Magnificent Fiasco—The Canadian Filibue ter Scare~Close of the Examination of thd Prisoners in Montrenl-No Evidence Pra- duced by the Spanish Consul=Discharge wo the Accused. MonTREAL, Anguat 7, 1871. , This morning proceedings were resumed in thé Cuban enlistment case tn open court, Justice Cour Solon the bench. The previous proceedings had been of the nature of a private investigation. The public interest attached to the question induced the Judge to continue the proceedings in open court. The Court opened at half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Carter, Q. ©. represented the Spanish Consul, and Mr. Dunbar Brown Majos Kobinson, the prisoner. Mr. Carter them said that he avatled himself of the present oppor- tunity of declaring that a citizen having been ar- rested, His Honor has been ia the right in throwing this Court open to the public, In all cases where the liberty of a subject was interfered with it waa better, if possible, to make the proceedings public, Hitherto it haa been necessary to carry om the investigation with closed doors, because, no doubt, that expedition had been set om foot, and iv was necessary to ferret out the rings leaders, He had been desired by the Spanish Con- sul to say that he was actuated by no other desire than that of assisting the federal authorities im obtaining information. With this end in view @ Warrant had been tssued by His Honor to secure Major Robinson's attendance as a witness; but um fortunately the Christian name Charles was inserted in the document instead of Willlam, and wien Charles Robinson was brought veiore the Court was found that he knew nothing about tne affair, and he was, of course, discharged. Subsequently @ warrant came from Quebec signed by Judge Doucet, which was put into execution and [is Honor very properly had Major Robinson brought before him: self, as 1t was in his district the offence complatned of was sald to bave been commited, instead of sending him to Quebec. It was now, therefore, His Honor’s duty to deal with Major Robinson as he saw fit He expiained that the Spanish Consul had no desire to prosecute Major Robinson, but merely to reach the real originators of the movement, and there fore, having explained the position occapted by his client and by himself, he wished Hie Honor to mnderstand that he (His Honor) had alone to deal with Major Robinson. He (Mr. Carter) Would not comment on the evidence, as he was not theme representing tie Crown. If any offence had been committed by the Major, It was against the Crown, and tt was, therefore, His Honor’s place to deal with the matier. It would also be His Honor'a office Lo say whether they would proceed to Investt- gate further cases in which there was, perhaps, somewhat stronger evidence, His HoNorn—Am I to understand that you declare that you have no farther evidence to offer? Mr. CanTer—Wohat | declare is that [am not here prosecuting Major Kobinson, Mr. BRowN—I think, under these circumstances, that I am quite justified in asking for the discharge of Major Robi: . Mr. Carter then drew His Honor's attention to the fact. His Honor well knew that there was quite suf- ficient evidence to justify all that iad been done, He also, on belialf of the Spanish Consul, expressed his thanks for the efMlcieut service rendered by the authorities, His Honor satd that the attention of the authorl- tles had been called to this affair by a proclamation emanating from the head oi the government. That the government had strong reasons for issuing thts proclamation he had no doubt. He did not know on whose information this action was taken, but Mm supposed i¢ was on that of the Span authorities. On instructions received by the authorities here an investigation was opened, and steps. were taken to prevent infringement of the foreign enlistment act. would make no comments on this affair, but would simply say that he hoped that it would teach some arties here a jesson and show to those abroad that ney would always find tie Canadian authoritted ready to prevent any infringement of the law. Ag @ good deal had been said about the volunteers aa nected with this matter he might say that Major con- Robinson belonged to the oldest volunieer regiment in the country, one which was second to none im efiieiency. It was a regiment also which had on several occasions rendered signal service to the State, and so had Major Robinson in his capacity aa one Of its officers. Major Robinson was then declared discharged and te Court arose. Thus ends the Cuban fizzle, which Las cost much money, time aad trouble, BAILROAD MATTERS, The Geneva and Ithaca Railvoad.
