THE WAR.
Since our last issue, there has- been no
decisive action. As will be seen by our re-
ports, there has been a series of engage-
ments, in which, averaging the reportsfrona
the different souroes, it appears that the
Prussians have enjoyedone continuous vice
tory. And while the French army is meet-
ing with a -general defeat, the nation itself,
is in a state bordering closely upon civil
war. The existing war appears to hat%
ineasured Napoleon's worth more effeaual-
ly, than the entire previous term of his
reign, and that very materially to his disad-
vantage. The commoa oi4nion of the dis-
interested world is,that the Franco-Prussian
war will terminate the Napoleonic dynasty
in France, and that either the Orlean-
ists will be restored, or a Republic estab-
lished, to fill the vacancy. The - Emperor
is reported to be extremely dejected, as he
well may be. Suffering from the effects of
a most painful chronic disease, his people
divided against him, and the entire,eastern
frontier of his country occupied by an over-
whelming army, which promises fair to over-
run the empire, it is not to be wondered at,
that he should not feel particularly, cheery.
The one Object of his reign—the establish-
ment of his son, upon the Frencht throne, as
his successor—is ahnost certainly thwarted.
Drowning men grasp at straws 1 So with
ItTap leon ; without any particular reason,
he arjl anged to supplant the-011ivier Minis-
try, ii. the vain hope-, perhaps, that such a
might restore to him, ia a measure,
the c nfidence of his people. There is one
featu e, however, that must not be forgot-
ten, timely: While the French people are
clivid d in their allegiance to their sovereign,
they rtre, unquestionably, unanimous on de-
feati • the Prussians. Notwithstanding
this iationai sentiment, the odds are deci-
dedlt against France,fer, while the troops
of er enemy have revery confidence
in th ir leaders, the very reverse is the case
with ler. Then, whether the war be tong
or sh rt. we count on an siltimate Prussian
victo 7, It may not, however, bp without
a mu3h more sanguinary engageinent, than
has yet taken place: Nay! we expect a
"great. battle," but in the nante of humanity
we would feign hope not.

THE ARBITRATION.
Though the day fixed for the 'adjoureeck
meetMg of the Arbitration Commissioners
draws rapidly near, Quebee'shows no signs
of appointing a representative in the room
of Judge Day. No doubt she intends to
persist in her stubbornness, relying upon
ker influence in the Ottawa Cabinet and
Parliament, to secure her preposterous
claims. Chauveau evidently intends to play
Howe's role. He will do all he can to ob-
struct the work of the Arbitration, in the
hope that he will break it up, and that the
matter will be left to the Federal Parlia-
ment for settlement Then by threats of
- opposition, if not something worse, he opes
to get " better terms.'-' That is hi Jade
game, depend upon it But it won't tvork.
The Imperial Parliament has provided a
way for the division of the joint, debt of
Ontario and Quebec,viz: by. Arbitration.
If Arbitration fail, then it -will devolve on
the Imperial-, Parliament, -either, to settle
the matter itself or provide some other
means. But we do not believe the Arbi-
tration will fail to complete its work, even
though Quebec allow herself to remain un-
represented to the end. If the decision of
the majority is not to be held. conclusive,
then the appointment of the Arbitrators was
a farce, and the clause, in the Union Act,
providing for their appointment, is merely
a collection of words meaning nothing. It
- is evidently the intention of Quebec to drag
this question into the arena of political
strife. The representatives of Ontario will
commit a grave error if they allow this to
be done. Quebec claimsthat the debt of Up-
per Canada at the time of the union should,
now, be wholly thrown upon Ontario, but
that no account should be taken of the rela-
tive amount paid into and from the common
Treasury, by each Province, during the time
of the Union. Setting aside the fact that
Upper Canada has been a larger contribu-
tor, and has received less from the public
revenue than the sister Province, there still
remains this other important fact, namely:
that the debt of Upper Canada at the time
of the Union was contracted principally for
the improvement of communication to the
Lower Province, which improvement was
of as much benefit to that Province as to
the Upper. This fact was readily recogniz
ed by the Special Council of Lower Canada
when called in by Governor Sydenham in
1839 to consider the question of union with
the Upper/Province. Here is the resolu-
tion on that point agreed to by the special
council .—
".Resolvtd,—That regard being had to the
"notice of the public debt of Upper Cana-
" da, and the objects for which principally
was contracted, namely: the improve-
" ment of intei nal communications, alike
'useful and beneficial to both Provinces, it
"would be just and reasonable, in the
"opinion of this Council, that such part of
"said debt as has been contracted for this
f: object, and not for defraying expenses of a

by Ontario!

was forwarded to the London Board of the
Great Western, and an answer has been re-
ceived by cable within the last few days,
stating that the Board Virkt, unanimously in
favour of building the branch, if the Brant-
ford ratepayers will legally sanction the bo-
nus. A by -lave will now be prepared for
the concurrence of the iatepayers. The cost
of the road is estimated at about $140,000.
The fires in the vicinity of Ottawa- are
still raging, and serious consequences are
apprehended if they are not soon extinguish-
ed by heavy rains. The Times says that
•on every side vast clouds of smoke can be
seen rising up from the burning fields and
woods, and on taking an observation from
an eminence, the general destruction ap-
pears frightful. • The fires have, now atmest
reached the eastern shoi.vof the Rideau Ri-
ver, opposite Sandy Hill, and the standing
crops of farmers in that vicinity are in hour-
• ly daager of being destroyed. From eveiy
quarter we hear of the terrible ravages be-
ing done by the fires.
A Halifax paper says 56 ounces of gold
is the result of & days crushing at the "Gis-
bourne Mine," Isaac's Harbour -600 tons
of quartz being now on hand. • The new
water -mill Of 16 stamps, equal to crushing
500 tons of quartz per month, are finished,
and the canal cutting, which will furnish
ample water power night and clay, will. be
completed 13th inst. The cost of raising,
carting and crushing the quartz, from this
large belt Of leads, will not exceed $1.75
per ton, so that all quartz yielding over 2
dwts. to the ton will be profitable. The
success of this entst/prize will prove that
gold mining can be_made as remunerative
in Nova Scotia as it now is in Australia. .
The Buffalo races were held last week.
The chief race was for a: prize of $2,009 for

Emperor's military incapacity.
• London, Aug. 11.—Advices from the
Prussian frontier up to ten o'clock on Wed-
nesday night. state that the French are fall-
ing back to the line of the Moselle, harra,s-
sed by the Prussian cavalry, which had al-
ready passed Saar -Union (or Saar-Werden),
Falquemont, and,Les Etangs. Store i of
all kinds and railway trains had fallen into
the hands of the Prussians. • They had al-
so taken the smiil fortress of Hutzelstein,
in the Vosges, which the French had evacu-
ated, leaving theit guns and provisi0ns.
I c is the conviction here in the clubs, and
• among the people, that the rule of the Bo-
naparte dynasay is over. The restoration
of the House of Orleans is anticipated..
It is stated that at the battle of Wcerth
the French charted the Trussians eleven
times, and that Marshal McMahon was fif-
teen hours in the saddle without food, and
finally fell fainting into a ditch, but was ac-
aidentally discovered and revived sufficient-
ly to direct the retreat of the fragments of
his army on foot.
The City Council of Brussels voted an
address of thanks to Queen Victoria for as-
serting Belgian neutrality.
London, Aug. 12.—Marshal McMahon
marched out of Saverne on Sunday night
on one side of the town just as the Prussians
were marching into it at the other.

• M. Thiers is reported to have said • that
the Empire was ended and a Republic ine-
• vitable.
The Paris .Pays publishes a letter from.
Charles des Mouliet, dated at Nancy, de-
nouncing the Emperor's bad generalship.—
He says Marshal McMahon, gallantly strug-
gling, was beaten forlack of support, though
there were multitudes of armed Frenchmen
at hand, eager to save him. The passage
of the Rhine was undefended.
The Echo asserts, without qualification,
that the Empress Eugenie and the Prince
Imperial are inloclgings at St John's Wood,
London.
The Cologne Gazette prints the outlines
of anothet treaty propcsed by Cou-nt Bene-
detti to Count Bismarck in 3.866. Itstipu-
lated that France shall take possession
again of the territory acquired by Prussia in
1814, Prussia supporting France in the .re-
covery of the left bank of the Rhine from
Hesse to Bavaria, and that the guarantee
given by the German Confederation in favor
of the neutrality of Luxembourg and the
Netherlands shall be annulled. The Ga-
zette adds that Benedetti represented that
these proposals emanated from the Emperor
in 1866.
London, Aug. 13.—Truth is slowly leak -
ng out, ani shows the position of the
French army as worse and worse. Two
days age a despatch, meant tobe reassuring,
was placarded, stating that Failly has es-
tablished communication with McMahon.
It now appears that these e communications
were established on the field of the lost bat -
tie of Wcerth.. • McMahon's position is in
all probability deplorable, driven; as he is,
into barron mountains- of Vosges, with the
•wreck of an army, without arms or provi-
sions. The Germans have cut off' all com-
munications between Prais and Straas-
bourg.
• The seat of war is now between.therivers
Saar and Moselle.
An abstract of Marshal McMahon's re-
port of the battle of Wcerth or Froschevein
says that on the 6th the enemy attacked
the heights of Guersdorf, opening with can-
non and rifles. The attack was so violent
that the first division was compelled to
change front soon. • The • Prussians made
a feint from the right bankof the Saar,
followed at noon by a renewal of the attack
on the right wing. . Charges of cavali7 and
infantry failed to dislodge the enemy, and
at four o'clock the French right was broken,
and a retreat upon Saverne and Nie,der-
brunn -became a necessity.
Advices through Prussian channels from
St. Avoid to the 12th, state that the Prus-
sians have taker 71,900 frisoners.
• Advices from St. Avoid to Friday night,
repiesent the French army west of the Mo-

of the battle of Frosckwiller are meagre.—
Marshal MaMahon had a horse killed under -
him. A brigade of cavalry reserve and one -
division of -the corps of Gen, Failly arrived,
-
