After a good deal of skirmishing, and Mitch manceuvering, the two great antagon- istic fotces of Europe at the present time, ha.veanet in deadly conflict. - The first great - battle of the war ha been fought, and won by the Prussians. On. Saturday last, about 11 o'clock, a.m., the Prussians engaged'the enemy, and after a fearfully bloody battle. which lasted until nine at night, the French were compelled to retreat, leaving about 4,- 000 of their ,med-in the hands of their_ op- ponents, as• prisohers. The loss, in- killed and wounded, is reported to have been very heavy on both sides. The following are the -offieial despatches, whiich explain fully, the pcisition of affairs at the close of the dread- ful struggle King William telegraphs to his Queen as follows :— " Good news. A great victory has been won by our forces. God be praised for 'his mercy! We captured 4,0Q0 prisoners, thir- ty guns, tarp standards, and six raitrailleurs. MacMahon d tiring thefight was heavily rein- forced from the main army. The contest was very severe, and lasted from 11 in -the morning until 9 at night, when the French retreated, leaving the• field to us. - Our losses are heavy:" Napoleon sent the following despatches " Metz, :Aug.- 6th, baidnight.—Marshal MacMahon has lost a battle. Gen. Frois- sard, on the Saar, has been obliged to retire, his retreat being effected in good order. All can be re-established. (Signed) ' 'NAPOLEON." "Metz, Aug. 7, 7.30 a.na.—My commu- nications have been interrupted with Mar- shal MacMalion. I am going to place • my- self in the centre of poskion. (Signed) - • NAPOLEON." The Empress Eugenie found it necessary - to allay the intense excitement in Paris by the following order : "In the presence of this gt aye news our duty as plain. We appeal to thepatriotism and energy of all. The Chambers have been, convoked, and we are placiag Paris with all possible haste in a state Of defence. In or- der to facilitate the exeoution we declare the capital in a state of siege: There must_ be no fainteheartedness, no divisions. Our re- sources are immense. Let us pursue the struggle without flinching and the country will be saved." A second procla reads as follows .— ation from the Empress "Frenchmen,—The opening of the war has not been favorable to us. Be firm un- der this reverse, and let us hasten to repair it. Let there be but one party in the land, that of France ; a single flag, that ot the na- tional houor. I come among you faithful to my mission and duty ; you will. see me the &still danger to defend the flag of France. I adjure all good citizens to mains tain order and to withstand our enemies. Done at the Palace of the Tullieries 7th Aug. 1870, at 11 a.m.----Signed--THE EM- PRESS REGENT EUGENIE." As will be seen from the above which is do doubt authentic, Napoleon is likely to get considerably more than he bargained for, and has, no doubt, already repented haying so hastily precipitated _his country into a war which, judging froin present ap- pearances, will not add much to the terri- tory of France, or to his own popularity ,or greatness. The French seem to be losing heart before the contest is faiily commenc- ed, else the Empress would not find it ne- ceasary to issue such stirring appeals to -her, subjects. On the other hand, the Prassians, flushed with victory, seem determined to push forward, even till they reach the very centre of, the entaey's country. So tremendous a defeat, at the first en- gagement, is a very serious blow to Fradcee —much more so than ie would have been to the Prussians.. The French people, as a, general thing, are flighty and impulsive, being very easily elated, and equally as eas- ily cast down; while the Prussians, are A steady, determined, and undemoastrative °lase of people, who can endure success without being unduly elated,, and whom defeat •would have the. effect of mak- ing more determined. This being the case, we fancy that, shOuld the French army meet with another defeat as crushing as that which befel it on Saturday last, it will, in a very great measure, become fearfully demoralized. Should this.prove to be the - result, there is but little doubt that Napo- leon will soon be sueing for an amicable settlement of the difficulty, and the war be ended. But, in the next engagement, should the French forces prove more suc- cessful, and succeed in routing their antag- onists, they may regain courage, and the astruggle, in all probability, be considerably prolonged. In any event, however, should no other power interfere,—which is now. . scarcely probable, --the war 1111iSt of necessity be short, although it may be sevet.e. At the worst, three or four such engage- ments as that of Saturday, woukd petty nearly exhaust both combata,nts, even great as their resources may be. Let us hope, therefore, that the dreadful calamity to the great nations of Europe, which at one time seemed so imminent, may be, although not WHAT DOES MEANT FOR some time past, rumours have been afloat, of a prespective political union be- tween HMI. Geo. Brown and Sir George E. Cartier. To these rumours, we have, here- . tofore paid no heed, believing that such a union was too absurd to be even seriously thotight of. Oar surprise, theiefore, may be imagined, when we noticed, a day or two ago:), the following ominous paregraph in the Hamilton Evening Times, a journal which professes to belong to the most strict sect of Reform; and which has, hitherto, decried and hooted every political combmafion which has been formed. After referring to an article which appeared in the People's ' Journal, speculating upon the probability of such an union, the Times says : " ,have no hesitation in giving in our full con- firmation to such a clealition. Mr. Holton belongs -to it, and will show himself without delay. Mr. Brown keeps in the back ground simply because not being .an M. I'. he feels modest—all the Browns are modest. /et Mr. Brown is a power in the land, and if he can find any basis of honest union be- tween himself and Sir George Cartier, we do' not believe there is a Reformei in the Province will object (It is no time now for remembering the trite follies of the past., For us the future should be what we ought selely to look upon.) We have had quar- rels with what is now Quebec. Let us for- get them, for there is need no longer. There is one simple point between us and Cartier, and it is this; is he a Reformer, and are we Reformers? As that point is decided so shoald our party go, in case a union should be proposed." -God forbid, that the Reformeis, °at least of Ontario, should ever become so - utterly debased, and so fearfully degraded and de- . mbialized, as to support Mr. Brown, or any other man who would demean himself by forming such an abominable alliance. Mr. Brown may be a "ower in the land," but should he join hands with an arch trai- tor like Cartier,we feel but littlea hesitation in predicting that his power will be very speedily, and very materially, diminished. We- do not take such serong grounds against political coalitions or .combinations; as our eontemporary, whose remarks we -quote above, or even. Ur. Brown, have tak- en in. times gone by. We consider that the lines -which divided patties. under the old order of things, haie in a great measure been swept away by the Act c?f Confedera- fion. Therefore, under certaiii circumstan- ces a coalition of honest men, for the ac- t comphshnaent of some specific object, which. could be - shown to be for the public° good, might be tolerated. But, for Mr. Brown, or any other prorainent Reformer, to coalesce with such a man 'its- Sir George Cartier, --,a man who, for the past twenty years, has never been satisfied unless engag- ed in the most dastardly and 'corrupt schenies and projects frir•the ruination of this 'country; and who even, within the past few months, has been the instigator and framer of legislation, the thoughts of which should bring the blush to the cheek of every true Canadian, is rather too large a pill to s We sincerely trust that the predictions of our Hamilton friend may prove to be fouldationless. It would, indeed, be a. dire ca- lamity to the Reform party, and equally as great to the country, should such an alliance take place -at the present time. Mr. Brown is now, undoubtedly, a " -power in the laud:" He has done good service in the past, and if he remains tette to the princi- _pies of the Reform party, he may long con- tinue to occupy equally as powerful a posi- tion as he now does, and also beof incalcul- able service to his country. °With the in- fluence he now wields, he can, if he chooses, in a very short time, bring a power to bear against the present corrupt administrators, which will, at least, deter them from repeat- ing many of the gross outrages -upon public desency and morality, which they have re- cently perpetrated. But let him once join' with Sir Geo. Cartier, -and his career of usJ- 'fulness will be forever ended. If, with .the influence and power he now wields in the country, he cannot control or prevent the evil actions of the prince of Corruptionists, is it reasonable to suppose that when he has taken him to hie bosom as a friend and col- league, his pOwer over hith will be strenth- ened? By joining in with Sir Geo. Cartier, he will be givingthe lie direct +o every word he has everutteredagainst him, and will also be sanctioning the outrageous actions of that individital with regard to the Mani- toba Bill, the pardoning of the murderer Riel; and the numberless other misdeeds and acts of corruption he has recently commit- ted. We haedly think Mr. Brown is prePar- ed to do kis. If be is, we are much mis- taken, if he getstuany of the Reformers of Ontario to follow him, The time has now gone ;ay, -When Mr. Geo. Brown, or any per- son ersc, can lead the people -to the right or to the,left, as his fancy or personal interests maydictate; If he -should, unfortunately, desert his palty,and his principles, and cast in his lot with political tricksters and trai- tors, he will assuredly share the same °fate as others, of less note, an.d fewer pretensions 'to morality and respectability, who have travelled in the same thorny road before him. He will be courted by his new friends so long as they find him of servIce to them, but, so soon as he has played his part, he will be unceremoniously kicked out into the cold, there to shiver and die, the denpised and rejected of all men.

To -day a large force of Prussians advanced bet weEn Weissenbourgand Litutorbourg, 10 miles into French territery, driving the ad- vanced posts of the enemy, and destroying miles of railway between Lautorbourg and Strasbourg, along which it is supposed Mar- shal McMahon was preparing to advance. The French loss was heavy, including many prisoners. The Prussiap victory at Weissenhourg was decisive. The troops engaged were regi- ments of the 5.1,11 'end llth Prussian Arm, Corps and 2nd Army Corps of Bavelia, led by the Crown Prince in Person. The French force cpnsisted of pouay's Division of McMahon's Corps. Weissen- bourg and Geishill in the rear of that towas were cairied by storm at the point. �f the bayonet after an obstinate resistance. The General, who commanded the French in the absence of Clea. Douay, was killed, with two officers of his staff. The Feencli encamp- ment, one piece of artillery, and.500 wound-. ed, prisoners, iacluding many nacos, fell into th e hands of .Prussians. On the German side, Gen.Kirchback was wounded.. The Grenadier Gaards and the 50t1 regiment suffered sevetely. COPENHAGEN, Aug_ 4.—The Danish Gov- ernmentstill struggles hard to preserve its neutrality, but the popular excitement is in: tense and perhaps ungovernable. .The sym- pathy for France among all classes is very marked LoNDoN, Aug. 5.—The Times this morn- ing says that the, plau of the Prnssian Com- mander -in -Chief, General Moltke,, has been recently changed from a defensive to an of- fensive -one. An ttdvance into France is threatened. It is possible that Prince Fred- erick Charles Will push forward and attack the French. A correspondent, endorsed by the Times as trustworthy and neutral, gives the fol- lowing interesting a,ccoune of the battle of Saarbruck :—The French made some prison- ers, but captured no cannon. They lost forty killed and sixty wounded. The French foice in battle was estimated at 30,000 men, and the Prussians at only 6,000. The ar- tillery won the fight. There was but little infantry, and no cavalry engaged. It was AUGUST 1870. the 59tb Prussian regiment, and not the 50th, as before reported, which was engaged in this battle. Three companies of the 4th held their ground against the French until the force of the latter had fully developed, its strength. The small force of the Prus- sians then retired. A special dispatch from Hagenau to-dey, tothe New York Herald says the defeat of the. Melia. at W eissert bourg was disastrous. Gen. Douay's Division, Composed of picked fighting men, were•utterly routed, and sev- eral of them reached herein a demoralized condition.-- Weissenbonrg is in possession of the Prussians. It*is nnderstood that England has dete”- mined to make the invasion of Belgium a cas?ts belti The King of the Belgians wilt summon the powers who guaranteed her neutrality to her assistance as F20011 as her territory is invaded, and England will re- spond.
