THE EUROPEAN STRUGGLE.
- At the time of writing, the Franco-Prus-
sian war, proper, is almost status quo.
France, though professedly determined, _if
worse comes to worst, to defend her coun-
try4-
and institutions from spoliation, with
her last drop of life -blood, signifies her wil-
lingness, nay her, desire, that an armistice
should be brought about, and is therefore
etaving off further attacks, and, meanwhile,
canvassing the other European powers to
secure this -end, by their intervention: And
Prussia, on the other hand, while apparent-
ly preferring to conclude aspeace, if it can
be done, withod relinquishing any of her
demands, stands prepared to fight to the
bitter end, if needs be, to secure what' she
deems right . Russia and Austria, it seems,
are willing to compel e peace, but Britain,
while, as expressed 'oy Earl Granville, in
an interview with M. Thiene earnestly de -
Siring peace, will not do more than be the
. medium of communication . between France s
and Prussia, of such propositions as may
„ —
originate with the combatants, themselves.
Thus the -matter stands, as the Prussian ar-
ray waits, within an easy march of Paris.
What will be the result of this diplomacy,
• we would not dare ventiire a prediction. •
Prussia, conscious of her strength, as-
sumes the indifferent air. She declines re-
cognizing the French Republic, whatever
this may mean, and awaits the conclusion
. of otherpowers, ready to aceept if it coin-
cides with her opinions and prepared to
dectine if otherwise. that the demands
of Prussia now are, do not appear to be well
understood. Six weeks ago they did, not
seeni unreasonable; but one of them was,
the deposition of the Napoleonic Dynasty,
and the substitution of the Orleans. Now,
the former part of this condition is provi-
ded fei, how- well the world knows; but
the carrying out of the latter part would, in
all probability, in itself, involve bloodshed.
Then, again, there is the territorial acquisi-
tion, which Prussia was bent on, from the
_ outset. And it is these two conditions that,
perhaps, renders the question one of difficult
. solution for the neutral powers. While,
' without doubt, every Monarchy in, Europe
would an hesitatingly support the restore
ion of the Orleanists, in preference to the
form of Government France has chosen for is
herself : on the other hand they appear
timid of endorsing the Prussian territorial de-
mands.
We believe there is an obligation resting
upon every neutral power to put a -stop to
this carnage, and that Prussia should be
stayed in her attempts, of reducing France
to waste, and destroying!' the Republic, if
such be her intentions ; but at the same
time we have no sympathy with the pitiful
wail bk which France seeks to gain the sup-
port of other powers, in forcing Prussia to
her terms of peace. We allude to France
crying out, that at the conimencement of
the we'. King William said, "be fought,
not France, but Napoleon," arid now, hav-
ing conquered him, let him not trouble us.
Without undertaking to justify Prussia in
prosecuting the w-ar beyond this, her ave.ed end, farther than to secure full indemni• -
ty for her losses, we proisounce_the plea of
France one nothing short of 'cowardice.
s The alacrity with which the majority of
the French people took up arms' against
King William, is conclusive •pi oof that if
he only fought the Emperor, more than the
Emperor fought King William; and had
success, inAte,acl of defeat, attended Napole-
on, there is no doubt but that every French
• citizen would have considered hiinself glori-
--fied thereby, and the French halting been
evidently ready to glory in_ an anticipated
common victory, should not now repudiate
-what rust,•therefore, be a coniraon defeat.
What we would hope for, is a i)eace secu-
red on honorable and equitable terms.
While Prussia. should be fully indemnified
at the cost of her aggressor. for the expen-
ses attendan Orison defending berseif,France
—who -se people were evidently misled, .by
a tvrannical and vain -glorious monarch, but
now realizing their folly, are making every
effort to institute, and sustain, a systein of
government worthy the respect and support
of the universe ---should be saved from de-
struction,and even unnecessary humiliation.
THE EUROPEAN WAR-
(Corwluded from- third Page.)
New York, Sept. 11.—Energetic dis-
patehes have gone through from Washing-
ton to Berlin against a continuation of the
war.
A special to the Herald, dated Paris Sept.
11, says :—The Prussians entered Laon yes-
terday. Shortly after the entrance the ma-
gazine blew upThirying a portion eh' the cit-
adel. The Prussian staff and several hun-
dred soldiers were killed. Thornville and
Metz still hold out. -
Rome, Sept. 11.—Martini arrived yescer-
day and had atn interview with Cardinal
Antinelli. The idea is prevalent that
the resistence of the Papal army is not like-
ly to be serious. Many cardinals and pre-
lates of eminence advise concluding an ar-
rangement with Italy with regard to future
status of the Pope. A populor demonstra-
tion took place in London on Sunday :in
favor of the French Republic and against
moharchy at home and abroad, in Hyde
Parke and St, James' Hall. Mention of
the Queen's and Prince of Wales' names
was received with hisses. The former was
accused of encouraging the l'russians to
march on Paris and crush the young Re-
public. Resolutions were passed denounc-
ing the inconsistency of the Prussian ad-
vance on Paris, with -solemn proclamation.
of Crown Prince in August, that "Pruseia
made war, not on the French people, but
on the Emperor.' All the speeches matte
were of a violent Republican character.
Tne feeling against the Royal Family and
the Government, in London, is extremely
bitter. s
, The impression made by the Times and
other papers of sane standing, is that Fo-
reign policy of the Government has been
dictated by the private prejudice of the
Queen and the interests, of her family, has
produced most dangerous and general indig-
,netion.
:Herald's special from Paris reports, that
the city is becoming isolated No mails
that day from London. The Government
exercises a fair but positive supervision over
11 telegrams. The city is tranquil. The
same correspondent yesterday accuses the,
English Government of blocking the way
to an armistice by its hesitancy, and is be-
lieved to have a secret understanding with
the King of Prussia, adverse to the wishes
of Bismarck, to secure, if possible, the sup-
pression of the Republic!Bismarck is not
desirous of either Alsace or Lorraine, and
is anxious for peace,but the Kingisbittere
.ly opposed to negotiations with the Repub-,
licen Government and insists on advancing,
to Paris, to crash the revolution before the
fever can extend to Germany.
Latest from King William's headquart-
ers, is that he will listen to propositions of
peace at the Tuilleries, and from the Im-
perial Government of France.
Paris, Sept. -12.—The Prussians attacked.
Toulons on Saturday, commencing at 5 a.m.
and continuing. till 9 p.m. They were suc-
cessfully repulsed, and more than one thou-
sand placed hors de combat. The Prussians
have surrendered Meaux. They have ar-
rived in force at Crecy. Paris is cheered
this morning by the news that Russia in-
sists 011 an armistice. It is asserted the
United States has commenced an interfer-
ence in consequence of which Prussian
march on Paris has been stepped.
London, Sept. 13,—The Telegraph's Pa
correspondent says, American recogniti
rs but really little valued there, and. is re-
garded more as good will of a power with-
out material weight in the European eys-
Item& Sunday, a. Prussian reconnoitering

Chars, when a sharp engagement took place,
and the Prussians were repulsed with con-
_
siderable loss.
The city of GoiSsons has refused t6 sur-
render in response to a demand frol the
Prussian Comman.der. M. Thiers is here,
communicating with the foreign office.'
Rome, Sept. 11,—Immense posters have
been placarded on dead walls of the city,
proclaiming the universal republic. The
document is signed- by the, Revolutionary
Committee.
Paris, Sept 13, —It is said that the main
body of Prussians were massed at a point
within 28 iniles of Paris, yesterday after-
noon.
New York, Sept 12.—A special despatch
to the World says : M. Theirs 'arrived yes-
terday. This afternoon Earl Granville
called on M. Thiers af the French Embassy;
although Thiers cable fully qualified by tire
French Gpvernment; he could not be receiv-
ed in Downing street, as the English Gov-
ernment will not recognize the Republic,
Earl Granville however conferred with him
as e. representative of the de facto government
of ,France, semiofficially. The Earl exhib-
ited all his well known courtesy and suavi-
ty`; his Lordshipasaid "1 hope you will al-
low me to express the deep regret with
which, as an individual, T have seen so
many misfortunes befall France ; a country
allied -in so meny ways with. England. If
my earnest wishes could be of any avail,
peace would soon restore to her, her former
prosperity." Thiers replied, ' "France is
quite able and detei mined to defend herself
against all foes, but she earnestly desires
peace, and it is for that reason, that, by me,
she now asks England, upon whose • action
all the powers of Europe are now waiting,
to join in securing for her, such terms of
peace as she can honourably accept. She
will accept no terms that are not honour -

continental powers, with the hope of Eng-
land's cd -operation, must probably be suf-
fered to fall through.
Public meetings have been held in Eng-
land, denouncing Ministers for their course
towards France,and very democratic speech-
es have been delivered.
•London, Sept. isbelieved to -night
that all hopes of peace must be ahandoked
and that no treaty will be signed unless in
Paris, or on the banks of the Rhine.
London, Sept. the plan of the
.'reissia,ns is realized, they must have seven
army corps before Paris this morning. It
would seem that the French and German
fleets are now in sight of each other near
the Island Heli Goland in the North Sea.
Paris Sept. 14,—The Ministry has made
public the following: The railroad bridge
at Corbeid has been destroyed by - the
French Uhlans. At Nogent also Maine, on
Monday, which is only five miles from Pa-
ris, orders has e been given by German com-
manders, forbidding the destruction of brid-
ges behind the army, under dire penalty.
A large body of Prussian Engineers is at
Chawpigne, a few miles east of Tails. The
German Currasseurs are still at Soissons.
/2500 Bavarians are at Voncoultrs.
THE' ROMAN QUESTIO.N.
A special from Florence, announces,the
advance of the Italian army, and says the
opposition !.nitde to final entry into Rome
will he absolutely nominal. 'The Govern-
ment of the King of Italy positively assures
his Holiness that his independeeZe and au-
thority in all spiritual aflairs shall be guar-
anteed, with the control of Vaticans and)all
qcliastical edifices, excepting Convents,
Which cannot be, allowed to exist in their
present state. A popular vote confers on
the Italian Monarchy, the City and State
of Rome. It is rumored that the Pope will
notaccept these propositions, but it is not
sure that anything can be done to'prevent
the constimation of the Italian plan.
Florence, Sept. 14,—Gen. Cardorna's ad-
vance Southward from Vitenho ,was stop-
ped for a time at Ciniti Castellano. The
Papal' Zotraves are 'forming a garrison in
the castle at that place, and opened fire on
the Italians, and a battle ensued, which last-
ed an hour, when the Pontificial forces stir -
rendered, and they were then taken to Spa.
leto as prisoners of war. Several places'
have been occupied by the Italian troops at
the request of citizens. The force is now
marching on Rome. .

Which is it to Be?
•
It may be .that the question of Colonial
dismemberment will not force itself upon
-the present generation, and, with theima.
jority, we believe, of the people of 9.-Snada,
we hope that the day is really far distant,
as yet, when the crisis of our fate is to ar-
rive, nevertheless it must be evident to
any one who has latterly watched the signs
of the times, .that a state of things may at
any moment arise to compel us either to
r- settle o'er future destiny at once or have is,
an settled for us.
We should naturally and properly desire
to have a casting vote on the one question
of paramount importance to us as a people,
and foi this reason we should not shut our
eyes to the fact that es matters stand at
present we are liable to be taken unawares
and forced into a 'position we might not
choose to occupy if we had the power of
making a choice.
There appears to be a delicacy or perhaps
a fear on the part of journalists and public
men in Canada to give expression to their
hontst opinions with regard to our pcisition.
They dislike being met with the charge of
disloyalty, knowing how difficult it is to
overcome even the most senseless cry, with
the soundest arguments, and filet the ear
of the people is so mach more easily reach-
ed than their understanding.
It 'is impossible, however, to move about
ranch or mix with people from various sec-
tions of the Dominion or evenas'ethis Pro-
vince of Ontario, without being struck with
the circumstance of how very little is al-
lowed to appear in the columns of the Press
of what is passing in the minds of thinking
men amongst us, and Sions the , topic of
much serious conversation wherever politi-
cians meet together. This, in our opinion,
Should not be so. Every newspaper reader
should be made acquainted with all that is
said and done in connection with a subject
of so much moment as that of our future
political existence,
The majority of the people of Ontario
are, no doubt,and the majority of the people
of the Dominion are probably satisfied to
have things remain as they are,' they nei-
ther want independence nor annexation.
They are influenced in the way of thinking
by a sentiment which bears a two -fold char-
acter in the present day. Loyalty-, as un-
derstood in days gone by was a feeling to-
tally devoid of reason, and of a personal
kind. Some such feeling still exists, but
to a very limited extent. Loyalty as bet-
ter understood, now among a,nglo-sa,xons,
is a feeling or a sentiment based on self re-
spect. A loytd man respects the power —g
which he has assisted to create and define, qua
and the depository of that power obtains a
hold upon his affection and esteem also, if
he finds that the trust is administered with
'due reguard to the honour, the dignity, and
the interests of all concerned.
Canada now looks upon herself as a mem-
ber of the British Empire, a.nd she is dis-
ed t

for
for the latter to consider what alteration
the future may make in their position, and
how their interests are likely to be affected
by certain changes.
Fortunately for us the day has arrived,
never to pass away, when, if we desire a
change, we have only to give unmistakable
expression to our wishes in order to obtain
the consent of England net matter what
Govermnent may be in power. We have
therefore our destiny in our own hands,and
the question _is, whether we are to mould
it for ourselves or leave it to be settled loy
the forms of circumstances.
The terrible War now comrnencingTin-
Europe has brought the question of nation-
ality more strongly before the considerati-
on ,of thinking people, for we know not
what a day may bring forth. or what com-
plications may arise before the end is come.
So long as peace prevails between England
and the United States, we have nothing to
fear, but should- those t wo 6ountries be-
come embroiled, what fate awaits us There
is only one answer; 'arid that is annexation.
and not that only, but annexation pure and
simple, without any terms, conditions, or
guarantees.
We don't want annexation on any terms,
nor do we want separation from England,
but we have to face the probabilities that
are so plainly presenting themselves, and
unless we are willing to fihut our eyes to
what is passing around us, and be content
to let ourselves drift, with the tide, we must
make up ear nainds'whai to do in case we
should find ourselves suddenly called upon
to accept an alternative. -
The question is one which should be
frilly and dispassionately discnssed. It is
treated too much as one of eartiment, and
although we should be sorry' to see this
feeling altogether discarded, we should be
equally sorry to find the practical vie* of
the matter overlooked.—Barrie Northern

In April, 1866, "the Admiralty decided
giving Capt. Coles the opportunity of r
clueing to practice his views of what a s
going turrett should be." The conditio
under which she was to be designed :an
uilt, were these :
That provision should be made for th

For the health aid comfort of a crew SU

comentary on the construction of such float

prove so fatal to their inmates as to the 'ob-
jects of their attack. During the war we
had more than one instance of bow certain
death was to the crew- of a sunk monitor,
and with all her preposterous combination
of the cruiser -with. the monitor, the Cap-
tain could scarcely fail to be equally infalli-
ble in the drowning of men- under her ar-
mor plated deeks. We have supped so full
of horrors during the past few weeks, that
500 men seems but a slender tale of slau-
ghter ; but a peaceful tragedy like this has
something more in it than the actual rava-
ges of war. And mere espeeially is this so,.
when we read the accusatidns against her

ship's capabilities are impaired by this mis-
calculation, her stability is compi omised,.
and her guns brought so near the water
that it was found desirable,the first time
she went down the channel, to turn her
turrets in a particular position, in order to
enable her gunners to load without being
deluged by the sea."
CAPT. COWPER PHIPPS COLES.
Among those who went down with the
ill-fated steamer Captain; was Captain. COW -
per Phipps Coles, of the Royal Navy. He
was the Son of Rev. John Wes, and was
born at Ditehan Park, County of Hants,
in 1819. He entered the Navy in 1831,
and rose rapidly in the service,. displaying
on various occasions a coolness and daring
which surprised his superiors in years and
experience. He also showed signal ability
as an officer at various stations, and took
an active part on board the Agamemnon in
the assault on Sebastopol; in October, 1854.
His conduct on that occasion was highly
praised in the dispatches of A d*frat Sir E,
Lyons. He displayed equal zeal at-d:abiii-
ty in the subsequent orterations at Kertch
and in Azof: A plan -devised by him for
the construption of shot proof rafts,. guns
and mortars was subjected to an examination
by a Board appointed by the Commanders
in -Chief in 1855, and their report was so
favora,ble that he was ordered to England.
that his knowledge might be of use at the
dock yards of Portsmouth. The idea of
protecting guns by shields was originated
by him in 1855, and improved upfsn in 18.-
59. In 1862 he adopted the tarrett sys-
tem in the Royal SoVEreign, and other ves-
sels in the Britieh Nvy. Ifis plans have
been very exthnsively adopted in ironedad
vessels, and further improvements in Na-
val. Engineering might well have been ex-
pected of him, if his career had not been cut
-
short by this terrible disaster.
(ProMth,e New York World.)
The sinking of the iron -dad Captain, ofr
the Spanish coast On Thursday morning last,
with all on board', is a f calamity such as
has not befallen the British navy since the
Royal George, with Kempenfeldt and twice
four hundred men, went ,clown at her an-
chors at Spithead. At night the vessel rod&
the waves, the finest war ship, perhaps,that
ever sailed the sea. At dawn her consort
swept the horizon in vain for the last triee
of her. Only later in the day some stFay
spars and small boats that the great deep
had given up attested her dismalfate, In
the face of so terrible a disaster aa this—a.
disaster which not only swallows up the
most superb specimen of .Naval architec-
ture ever known, but carries down with it
five hundred gallant English sailors—it
rnay seem harsh to dwell on mere points of
technical precision ; and. yet in :the interests
of humanity it is prop e -P- th- tile build of
the Captairtshould be touched on, and the
revelation :f its now lamentably well prov-
en defects may help to aisert such dreadful
casualitiee in the future.
In its build, its plan, its armament, . the
Captain was, up to the hour it foundei-ed,
to all human is:mighty simply perfection. It
was a huge ship of 4,272 tons burden, arm-
ed with a battery of six guns-300pound-
ers, if we are not Mistaken—which had in
their trials- penetrated every- obslacle ; and
in order that its defensive armament might
equal its offensive, the ship was clad in a
mail of 8 -inch wrought iron. Moved at a
great speed by engines of 900 -horse power,
manned with a picked crew of 500 men
and steaming out under the banner of St.
George for a trial trip on the French coast,
no wonder the pride of England was stirred
by so magnificent a witness that she still
was
"Captain " of the glory of the sea. By
any adversary of human contrivance, the
great phi') would probably have been. irre-
sistible, but the wind rose, and in a storm
that many a wooden whaler would have
laughed at, the iron leviathan went down.
Under the stress of 'a sudden squall, the
staunchest iron -dad ever put in commission
sinks as swiftly as one of her own shot, and
by so sinking, demonstrates that the limit
of naval armoring has been fatally reached:
Like the Admiral _Earl of Sandwich, she
was carried down by her armour of proof.
'Ranging from eight inches -in the most ex -
"posed portion of her hull, to 7, 4, and 3
inches as the exposare lessened, the weight
of her protection became her destruction;
and in coutemplating that destruction, it
would be well fur the .British Admiralty,
and for that matter naval constructers every
where, to take instant pause.
