THE EUROPEAN WAR The small speck, *which -was first noticed in the European horizon but a few days ago, hasalready assumed the magnitude of a vast cloud, ,which threateasat any moment, to burst forth, and deluge the . earth -with hu- man blood. Although at the time of writ- ing, there is no certainty that a hostile en- gagement has taken place between the con- tendiug ,partiea, yet the probability is, that ere these lines reach our readers, the "dogs --a war" Will have been let loose, and one of the most fierce and bloody _struggles com- menced which has yet been: recorded in the annals of history. As we anticipated, the appointment of a Illohenzollern Prince to the Spanish ',throne was not at all the real grievance -of -Napoleon, for, no sooner was :this excuse removed, .by the youiv Prince's refusing to accept the position, than anoth- er, if possible, of a rctore trivial nature was conceived. The fact is, Napoleon is resolv- ed to play a big game. He is determined to stake all in the endeavour to check the progress of Prussia, and if possible, regain to himself the high position which he occu- pied before his present great rival assumed such,rformidable dimensions. &Laid he succeed in this, and in extending his bor- ders to the Rhine, he will accomplish an ob- 'ect which is well worth riskinensidera- • co s ts - able to attain; and will, at the same time, secure for himself a place in the esteem and affections of his people Whieli he very mach covets, but which he has never yet :been able to achieve, But, should failure be the result of his venture, and slionkl his indo- mitable ambition receive a check, such as we si cere4hope it may, the downfall and hum' "ation of himself and his eiapire, will ereiy be precipitate& Although in the present struggle we may feel biound to espouse the cause of Prussia, - and e4ertain the hope that at the concha: sion, victory may be perched upon her ban- ners, yet we are not- prepared to say, - that should the reverse be the case, it would not be a righteous judgement coining upon her for the overbearing, grasping, and we might - say, dishonest course she has pursued to- wards smaller and comparatively defence- less pawers. The way in which tshe has at- tained her present greatness is anything but creditable to her. The dishonest manner inaihich she acted with Denmark in rob- bing that alniost defenceless nation of ra.lf her territory; and the still less creditable. process by which -she .became possessed of Hanoveranust for ever lea,ve black stains' of no small magnitude • upon her character, and considerably decrease the sympathy whicii would otherwise be due to her from other nations, in her present trpleaSant predicamt en As matters now stand, both powers are vigorously, preparing for the conflict: The French people appear to be almost a unitin upholding the warlike demonstrationsof. their Emperor, and in urging him on to the coming struggle. All seem to be 'looking • anxiously and impatiently forward to the moment when peace will he broken. - It is said that Napoleon is to take the field in person, and to march at the head of his ar- my. This, 'on the part of France, may in- dicate in some measure, what they expect is before them. They have made a despea rate venture, and seem quite, prepared to put forth desperate means to seeureits suc- cess. On the other side, Prussia, although acting on the defensive, is no less united, or determined and confident. The people ap- pear to have unbounded confidence in their King, and have expressed. the utmost ap- proval of the course he has taken. The en- tire male poPulation are ieady to spring to arms at a moments notice,in defence of their country, and offers of money, horses, &c., are pouring in to 'the War Department - from the populace. King William is also to take command of his army. Notwith- standing- this, however, it is considered that Prussia is not in so forward a state of pre- paration -as her antagonist.; and that if an engagement were to immediately take place, France would, in all probability, come off victorious, as Prussiatequires some little time yet to thoroughly- mature her plans, and get her fighting material l in proper or- der. France has been -quietly preparing for a considerable time, whereas PrusSia. has, in a measure, been taken hysurprise. That France is well aware of this, and is anx- ious to take advantage of the position, is evident from the haste she exhibits in desir- ing to rush into the frav. Prussia will not long labour uuder this 'disadvantage. - She will not waste time unnecessarily int bring- ing her preparations to a proper terminus, and although She inay lose ground at first, there is but little doubt that she -will speed- ily regain it. - What probability there is of other nations taking part in the war, and what sides .the different powers will favour, cannot yet be n clear.), foreshadowed. It is stated that Russia will in allprobability take part with Prussia, and that if France atteraptsto mo- lest Belgium, England will also abandon her neutrality, and espouse the cause of. Prussia. It is also alleged that Spain and probably Austria, Will assist France. What degree of truth there may be in. these .as- sertions, we are not pi epared to say. It is to be hoped, however, that there will be no interference -on the part of any other power. If France and Prussia ahould for- tunately be alloWed to fight it out themsel- ves, the contest, although it -may be a fear- fully severe one3 will be short But should the other nations take sides, it is hard tO DB say who of the present day may live to see the end of the struggle, or how=widespread its devastating influences may become. There is Itnother feature of the affair which has scarcely yet been considered, and which, shOuld circumstances justify us in predicting, williprove the most fearful and calarnatous of all: It is a well known fact 'that Napoleon was determinedly opposed to the Infallibny Dogma, so much so that he threatened, should it become law, at once to withdraw the French troops from Rome, • thus leaving the Pope almost entirely at the mercy of his enemies. The present is a most favourable opportunity for the French Emperor to carry out his threat, and, indeed it is rumoured that it is Ms intention to do so. The war at home will serve as an ex- cellent excute for him to put his -threat in- to execution. -Should he do this, Garribal- di will at once spring to arms, and will,with but little difficulty, succeed in carrying out 'what seems to be the one great object of his life, viz : the dethronement of the Pope. Thus, should affairs take this turn, the war between France and Pitussia can scarcely avoid being converted into agreat and bloody religious struggle, into which nearly all the nations of Earope would inevitably be drawn. The whole thing rests with France. If to gratify ambition and revenge, Napo- leon should see fit to pursue the course in- dicated, the result Will inevitably be, not on- ly a war of nations, but a war of creeds. In doing "so, he would no doubt have re- venge upon 1,onie in' a certain sense, but we doubt whether the final result would -conduce much to the fanner object In such an event, Russia, Prussia, England, Belgium, Holland, and the Garibaldi party would, in all probability, be revenged against France, Austria, Spain, and Italy. In a contest between these nations it would not be difficult to correctly foretell the re- sult. A PROTEST. The following letter from a Canadian, who settled in the Red River Country about a year ago, and who was compelled to flee from his home during the most severe weather of lid winter, and take refuge in the United States fro'in Riel and his follow- ers, shows pretty clearly the feeling of the loyal people of the territory regarding the. amnesty -which is said to be drafted tie the monster who caused the murder of the loyal Scott, and who also aused to be imprisoned *or driven from the country, every man who dared say a word in the defence of his own or the rights of his fellow -countrymen: . ST. Cutup, July 10 '70 Sm—Bishop Tache passed through this town a day or two ago, and stated that an amnesty to the robbers and murderers, who have led the late -rising at the Red River Settlement, was to be granted, and he seemed to think it right and proper that this should be so. - Now Sir, I am oue of the victims of these scoundrels, and I wish 'Ontario to know, and the Dominion to know, how I feel about this matter. I arn a native of Elgin cout ty in. Ontario, and I left it last summer that I might have the advantage of of prair- ie farm under the old flag M the Northwest I arrived' at the Red River Settlement in August and prepared for farming operations at Portage la Prarie. I tried to mind, and I believe I did mind, My own business, and interfered with that of 110 one else. But I had to take up arms in defence Of my Own life, when the British flag was being haul- ed down, could afford no protection. For this I was imprisoned and ill-treated; for this, when liberated with the others by the force under Dr. Schultz, I had to make a' trip, Iv the severe winterweather:, across the unsheltered prairies to this place. And now, waiting wearily here until the time when the presence of troops restores order and allows me to return. I hear that the ruffilans who brought this upon_ me are' to escape the just punishment of their crimes. Why, sir, the Americans here laugh at the bare suggestion of such lenieney. They taunt us with saying that the British Lima is toothless, and rebellion and riots the mo - dem roada to office and emolument. I want to know if this is true about the amnesty.. If so, what do the people of the Dominion, what do the people of my native Ontario think of it? If they tamely submit, then I, for one, hare done with the Dominion, have, done with the flag which ceases to pro- tect those who wish to live under it; and will make my home in the Western States, whale at least, a man's life a.nd property are safe, however little he may like other things connected with it.

THE COUNTY PRINTING. —One more word on this thread -bare question. ----The Gocler- ich and Clinton papers have been endeav- ouring to lead the people of this County, in- to the belief, that the public funds suffered, because the EXPOSITOR did, the printing for 1869, instead of either of them. How far, though, is this from being the case? The whole sum received by the EXPOSITOR for the printing of 1869 (let the Goderich a.nd Clinton papeis make it opt to be all over- charges if they choose) was not one-half the average ann.ual sum, that the Signal had re- ceived for the same work for the previous twenty-one years. Tnstead, then, of the ratepayers of Huron suffering by the EX- POSITOR getting hold of the County Printing, •the very reverse is the case, and they are indebted to it, for breaking up the Goder- ich moncply, which had ever heretofore ex- isted. This is as far as the people are prac- tically interested. The fidelity of the on - tractor, is a matter between himself and the County Council, on which a unanimous posi- tive Tote has been given. THE HURON EXPOSITOR. NEWS OF THE wEEK. Fires are raging in • the woods in the neighborhood of Ottawa to a serious extent. Mr. Alexander Mackenzie, M.P., and Mr. IX A. Macdonald, M. P., have arrived at Halifax. Reports from Lincoln say that the har- vest there is about a week in.adyance ofthis A fearful tornado visited Montreal on Wednesday of last week, which destroyed an immense amount of property. Another disastrous fire has occurred at Constantinople. Over 1,500 houses, main- ly of the poorer classes, were destroyed. Itupert's Land was on Saturday incorpo- rated as a portion of the Dominion of Ca- nada, by Her Majesty's RoyalProelamation. • It is said that the ambition of Juarez is tatisfied, and that he he does not desire to • be a candidate for the.

St. Mary's is in a squabble anent thetmar- ket clerk, superpediug Mr. Bacon, they both claim a right to the fees, and cross actions at law are the consequence. A cable despatch announces the death, at London, of James Copland. M. D., F. R. S., the Euithor of the "Dictionary of Practical Medicine 'and Pathology," and other medical works. The Orangemen in St. Marys on •the twelfth, passed very strong tmsolutions de- nouncing the Red River Act, and describing the conduct of the Ottawa Ministry as shameless. The war news has aroused the Fenians in New York, and one of the "generals" has called a meeting of the military part of the Brotherhood in order to ascertain if there is any chance for a fight. On Friday night, after midnight, the Flour mills, owned by Mr. Charles Kenney, were destroyed by fire. It is unknown low the fire originated, but from the, hour it made its appearance, it is generally believed to have been the work of an incendiary. A melancholy accident occurred on • Fri- day, by which Mr. Edward Hodgins, of the fitm of Atkinson, Gattis & Hodgins of For- rest, Ont, was instantly killed. He was out shooting, and his gun, -by some accident, was discharged, the charge entering his stoat- ,. ach. The Post Office Savings Bank return for May, published in Saturday's Canada Ga- zette, shows that the amount held by the Receiver -General at the end of that month, was $,465,663, being an increase of $56,- 165 oveethe amount held on the 30th of April. Notwithstanding the Party Processions Act, and a protest Against it, there was an Orange procession at Lisburn, near Belfast, on the Twelfth. In New York there was a fight between Orangemen and Irish la- bourers—probably Fenians—in which both partieg had several killed and wounded. At last the dogma of Infallibility has been. adopted by the (Ecumenical • Council, the vote being—Yeas, 450 ; nays, 88, condi- tional, 62. The sitting was greatly agitated, and attempts will be made to persuade the dissenting fathers to reeensider their votes before the dogma is prow.ulgated. The services of the late Aanson Burlingame, in making treaties and attending banquets as Ambassador of Cilma, have been grateful- ly rememberedt by the Celestial G-ovem- ment, who have set a good example to "out- side barbarians" by giving Mrs. Barliaeame ten thousand tolls (about $15,000) for hei own use, and six thousand tolls co meet the expenses of tbe funeral. • It is saicl, in Ottawa, that Sir George E. Cartier will endeavour to get Sir J. Young to accompany Governor Arc%cbalcl and Bish- op Tache to Fort Garry, via Pembina. The Bishop will secure the territory and hand it over to oin• Gav,ernment if this pro- gramme is carried out, the expedition -will be ordered to return, and Biel will be al- lowed to go unpunished.

THE LAST OF THE MURDERED SCOTT.— Tne uncertantity as to the disposition of poor Scott's iemains after the murder at Fort Garry, in March last, is now at an end. It will be rememocred that the Se- poy organ,—tho _New NC660711—announced that the body had been buried inside the Fort. This statement turns out to be false --started apparently for the purpose of put- ting an end to all enquiries, and hiding the real truth. A gentleman who has been a resident in the Territory for some time, and Who returned to Canada lately, informed us a few alays ago, that when ice broke up in the spring, Scott's remains were found float- ing, in the River, about four, miles below the sceneaof the murder, and were quietly - taken out and buried near the Kildonan. Churph by some of the loyalists. Not con- • • tent with torturing the poor victim, when alive; and subjecting him to a lingering and horrible death, the fiends carried their yen- gence So far as to refuse the body the burial of a dog. Yet these monsters are to be ac- corded an amnesty for their crime, on the. representations of the Government of Free Canada.—Chathairn Banner, The Fenian Prisoners; The New York Times has the following sensible remarks regarding the convicting and sentencing of the Fenian Leaders by the U. S. authorities :—" Judge Woodruff has sent the Fenian raiders to the Auburn State Prison, and thongh the terms of their sentences are not long, the -punishment must be regarded as a heavy one,if only for its disgrace. Yet it is not easy to feel sor- ry for these -men. They,ltave broken the laws of the United States, to which they owe cheerful obedience ; they have swin- dled their poor countrymen by leading them into an absuid and wicked enterprise t they were only prevented by their; own coward- ice from devastating the homes of the inof- fensive Canadians, with whOrit they had no quarrel: and they have inflicted serious in -- jury upon the cause of Ireland. For the deluded contributors to the Fenian fund we have a great deal of pity, but none for idio- tic leaders like'Starr. We cannot forget that while insurrection is the sacred right of the oppressed, a useless invasion, such as the Fenian invasion of Canada, is a crime, and its incidents constitute not war, but rob- beitt and murder. Now we hope the Fenian convicts will be left to serve out their terms. They may perhaps be misguided patriots (though that is not certain), but it is time for even mis- guided patriots to learn that the United States must not be used as a base of opera - .tions for Irish torays upon Canada. These wicked raids have been an affliction to the frontier too long. They never will be stop- ped until their projectors are made to com- prehend that they are offences against our Government, as well as against Great Bri- tain ; and that while the Canadians pimish those whom they catch on the other side of the line, we shall punish the generals who run away. The counsel for the prisoners at Canandaigua made a very absurd appeal to the prejudices of the jury *hen he said that these trials were prosecuted•in the interest of the British Government. They are pro- secuted simply for the vindication of our own violated laws. It is none of our busi- ness, and it is certainly not our desire, to defend the New Dominion; but it is our duty to enforce our own statutes, and we could not have a better opportunity of pro- ving our determination to do so than is af- forded dy the present convictions." ••-6,6.• French and Prussian Armies.

Total. - Shocking Murder. (From -the Toronto ,Glolle of the 18th.) A shocking affray occurred on the Don and Danforth road, about five miles from the city, Thursday night, which resulted in the death of a woman named Mrs. Shepperd. The particulars Of Orel case are these. An English labourer named William Sh'epperd resided in a small house about five miles east of the Don, with his wife. They had no family, and were both about forty-seven years of age. Sheppeict bore a good char- acter for honesty and -industry,though at times he drank to excess, and at. such times he was filled with a mania that his wife was unfaithful to him. This jealousy caused many a quarrel 'between them, though -while • he was sober they lived happily enough to- gether. Thursday evening he returned from his day's work perfectly sober, and after taking his tea he went to a neighbouring • tavern and premixed some hquot. • He re-; • turned home and drank it till he became quite drunk. His -wife had, itt the mean- time, retired to bed. The demon of jealousy possessed him and taking a gun loaded with shot, in his hand, he staggered to her roam. The npLse wakened her, and seeing his con- dition; she arose hastily, and attempted to • shut the door. She was too late, however, his -hand was on the latch and be had it partly, open before she reached it. She put • her shoulder against the door, and held is with all her might against him, but being a powerful built man, his superior strength soon forced it opea. Finding it impossible to keep him out, she drew back towards the • bed and asked him what he wanted. He made no reply, but fired the gun at her. The charge struck her breast, tearing it in a frightful manner, and the grains passed nearly through her body. She fell at once, uttering a piercing shriek. The noise at- tracted the attention, of some persons in the neighborhood, who, on seeing what had'bc- f curred, sent at tame to the city for a doctor. A drowd soon collected •round the house, but no attempt was made to arrest She )- derd. In fact, the people were afraid fcr some time to eater the house. On the aia rival of Drs. Ross and Riddel trom the pity, they arrested- him, and having attended to the wounded woman, brought him into the city and lodged him in No. 1 Police Station. At the instance of Mr. A. McNabb, P.M., the prisoner was this morning handed over to County Constable Daniels, by S. M. Cummings, to be dealt with by the Cnmaty Magistrate. Mrs. Shepperd lingered on in ter- rible agony thro' the night,and till 8 o'clock yesterday morning, when death terminated her sufferings. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned, a verdict of "wilful murder" against William Shepperd, •who was fully committed for trial at the next session. The prisoner heard the verdict with the utmost coniposure'exhibiting much.'impati- ance at the length of time he would have to remain in gaol until the date of his trial. Before being removed he requested the con stable "not to put those things (hand -cuffs) on him until he had lighted his pipe." Of course the, affair has created the most pro- found sensation in the neighborhood, as the deceased appears to have been much respect- ed by her neighbors, who are all of the opinion that her husband's suspicions of her weie unfounded.. • - 439 4,680 Besidesthese there are 8 screw steamers, iron -clad. with 68 guts, and. 23 non-iron- cald, with 141 guns, building.
