Tin-: war in the Old World is not a matter affecting the liberty or happiness of American citizens.—JuunwJ.

Cut the "war in the Old World" is between two governments, one of which was our unscrupulous enemy and the other our iirm friend from the inception to the close of the late Democratic rebellion lu this country. It i- natural, therefore, thai "A merican citi/.cii-" who loved th« I'nion cause should sympathize with tiermany and it is equally natural that

American citizens"who.\vmpathized with 'the Confederacy" should desire the suc(•(••Jot Ih'ii- /rl'ifl, the Kmperor of the

French.

TKI: 1 ndhmapolis ineffectually rtiteinpls to make a jiointfagainst the Ke|iiihlii :iu management of Stale finances hy .-howing that the Democratic debt lias been paid oil'by taxation! The difference between "Radical extravagance" and

I )finocratie economy" in the matter in ipifstion is this: Democrats levied and i.llectel taxes ostensibly to pay debts, incurred by themselves, and then stole and misappropriated the funds gathered for that specific purpose. Hut Republican administrations have levied and collected taxes to remove the Democratic debt, [and have used every cent of the money thus obtained for the purpose intended, untilithe debt is wiped out. This is the record, known to the world, and acres,, of heavy writing,j and floods of printer's ink cannot present, the case in any other light. Democratic mismanagement, extravagance and rascality piled up the huge mountain of debt. Republican economy, honesty and fidelity have paid it.

Address of M. Ollivier,

The following important dispatches failed to arrive in time for our last issue: PARIS, August

lJ,—The

Deputy Fire.—"All sacrifices without you." M. Ollivier resumed: "We are all pre pared. We can arm four hundred and tifly thousand men. Paris and the departments are threatened and are in a slate of siege. Prussia hopes to add to her own advantages by intestine troubles, but her expectations will not be realized. We shall defend ourselves order is safely. "Now one wold. It were unpatriotic at such a time to dwell upon personalities. Accuse, doubt us,—weshall not answer, except to delend the measures we intend lo propose. It the 4 hamber is not with us, [Ironical laughs and inteiTuplionsj it is wanting in the perfoi 111anee of its duty. "Let us not lose time in discussion. This I beg, as perhaps this is the lasl time shall mount this tribune. Make 110 iiiore speeches. ^en«l ns away it yoii deem it bent.'' [Shouts from the left "Yes," "yes."

Deputy Dounierliii interrupts, proposing that the Presidency ol the Council of Ministers be conferred 011 General Trocliu. lules Favre demanded that the Chambers should ut ome assume the direction vf public atiaiis.

Paul de Cassagnac aidtlmt it lie was a Minister, he would send before a eounri I war men sustaining such a propn.i lion.

A scene of great violence here ensued between the members, l'icard asking that ilie Chambers pronounce a vote ot censure against the Ministers and the members of the Lett continually demanding calls to order. 1 assagnac teit)pon rily presiding, refused to accede to these demands, saying that violence on one part would only produce violence on the other.

Finally M. Ollivier, after a great effort to make himself heard in the confusion, said: "Some of myfcolleagues ask me it 1 ^vouh} have them shot."

Duke de Orammont exclaimed: "They all ought to be." At this expression Deputy Estancelin rushed toward Duke de Granmiont shaking his fist in his face. Deputy Ferry also leaves his seat and threatens the Duke and the members of the Right rush from their seats and interpose to preserve order. The President put on his hat in the midst of the confusion, the session was temporarily suspended.

M. Jules Favre, on resumption o1' the session, pressed the immediate consideration of his proposal, but it was refused bv a vote of 190 to

M. Clement Duvernois then proposed an order of the day, declaring that the Chambers, desirous of ensuring energy in the national defense, be passed to the order of the day.

M. Ollivier refused to accept the order of the day, and rested the fate of the Ministry on its passage, but the order wits adopted, and, at the request of M. Ollivier, a recess was taken that lie might withdraw and consult with his colleagues.

M. Ollivier returned, after a brief absence, and mounting the tribune, said: In the presence of the vote of the Chambers, the Ministry has given their collect live resignation to the Empress Regent, who has accepted it. 1 11m instructed -o declare that General Pallikao has been charged with the duty of forming a new Ministry. [Applause.] "As for 11s, weshall continue to do what* evei our country demands of us, and from whatever misfortune they may encounter, will have our support."

After this declaration the Chambers separated in great agitation.

session of the

Corps Legislatif opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Schneider presiding. As soon as the formalities of opening were over, M. Ollivier addressed the House as follows "Messieurs—The Emperor in his proclamation told you, if circumstances should prove unfavorable, the Empress would call you to her. We have not waited until the situation was compromised before calling you,"—[Interruptions.]

R.Favre exclaimed, "This is too audacious." M. Ollivier continued: "We call you at the first sign of trouble. Some of our troops have met with reverses, but the greatest portion remain unvanquislied. Our ciladels, our natural defenses and our mountains are intact. We ask you to aid us in organizing the National Guard."

We believe that by the continual ascendency of the Republican party will be secured the services of free government that it is the safe-guard of the constitution, the promoter of education, order, industry, thrift, universal freedom and equal rights.

Resolved, That we congratulate the country on the success of the present administration, which has without increase of taxation reduced the national debt over one hundred and sixty millions of dollars, by an honest and economical collection of revenue and a large reduction of expenses of the government and we especially congratulate the country on the fact that this policy has made it possible to reduce the internal revenue and tariff duties eighty millions of dollars, thus relieving the people of burdens to this extent without imperilling the national faith or honor.

Rewired, That a tariff for revenue is indispensable, and should be so adjusted as to be the least prejudicial to the industrial and producing interests of every class or section, while securing to the home producer,a fair competition against the foreign producer.

Resolved, That a change of our navigation laws so as to admit the registration of vessels purchased abroad, is demanded by the best interests of the country, and that such action would again give to our plundered commerce the supremacy ol the seas.

Rewired, That the policy of granting subsidies of public lands to corporations and monopolies, is unqualifiedly condemned.

Resolved, That adhering to our traditional policv of neutrality, the American people look with profound indiflerenee upon any European controversy regarding dynasties interests merely, and are concerned in the present struggle between Germany and France- only so far as the same shall involve tuc great principles of liberty and while- we remember thai threat of uprising of l-S-18 failed of success mainly for want of Germany "therein—that during'our recent national trial the people ot Germany supported our cause with their sympathy and material aid, while the armies of France were endeavoring to subvert a Republic on this continent, ami establish in its stead an imperial throne—we cannot refrain from declaring our sympathy with the present heroic efforts of Germans to establish, maintain and defend their national unity.

The deputies then abandoned the hall and scattered to their committee rooms outside to avoid the crowd which was assembled and refuse^ to disperse.

Bodies of cavalry and lancers were stationed in the surrounding streets, the court-yard of the Tuilleries was thronged with soldiers, and around the hall of the Corps Legislatif the police repeatedly charged on the mob, but the latter reformed. After each charge bodies of the National Guard threw down their arms and fraternized with the populace.

Other detachments remained passive in their barracks. Baraguay D'Hilliers organized troops and the mob was everywhere charged.

A correspondent reports as he was going to past his dispatches he heard sounds of drums and bugles in every direction.

Inside the hall of the Corps Legislatif the scene was one of fear and bewilderment.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

The following is the Queen's speech delivered to-day by Royal commission of prorogation of Parliament: My Lords and Gentlemen:

The state of public business enables me to release your attendance on Parliament. I continue to reeeive from all foreign power assurances of their good will apej friendship, but I have witnessed with great pain and grief on both domestic and foreign grounds the recent outbreak of war between two powerful nations allied to this country. My best exertions have been used to avert this great calamity, and shall now direct constant and anxious attention to a strict observance of neutrality. I have cheerfully assented to the measure matured by your wisdom to enlarge the powers of the executive, not only for the discharge of international duties, but for

the prevention of acts injurious to interests of this country. I shi. 11 make every endeavor to check the operation of the causes leading to the enlargement of the area of conflict, and shall contribute, if opportunity offers, to the restoration of an early and honorable peace.

have

tendered to the belligerent powers treaties identical in form, which will give additional security to Belgium against the hazards of war on her frontier.

The treaty has been signed by Count Bernstofffor the North German confederation, and the French envoy has signified that he has authority to sign the corresponding instrument, and the receipt of full power therefore from other powers, parties to the treaty of looO has been invited, and they are likely to accede to engagements. The shocking murders in Greece have produced a painful impression to Europe, and havedrawn attention to serious evils existing in that country. My unremitting efforts will be directed to secure a complete and searching inquiry into facts.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I thank you for the liberal provision made by you for the ordinary service of the year, and for the additional supplies of men and money voted*in view of the altered circumstances of the continent.

The revenue gives promise to meet the new charges thus created, without revising the proper balance of revenue and expenditure. The act for the repression of agrarian crimes and to maintain order in Ireland, has answered its purpose thus far. From the act regulating the occupation of the land, 1 anticipate the restoration of peaceful relations between the landlord and tenant, and of confidence and benevolence in legislation. The duty of protecting life and property 1 hope is now more easy, and I rely on the loyalty and affection of my Irish subjects. I have been pleased to concur in the bill for national education in England, as a new guarantee for the moral and social wellbeing of the nation, its prosperity and power. The naturalization act, and that for the extradition of criminals, tend to strengthen our friendly relations with other powers. The act regulating enlistments for short terms, I hope will increas the efficiency of the forces, promote the welfare of the soldiers, and provide for a nation well trained in arms and ready on emergency to return to their standards.

bid you farewell for the recess, with the earnest hope that when again summoned

may rejoice with you on the re-

establishment of peace in Europe.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.

The Prince Imperial of France has arrived in London and is now at the French Legation, in charge of W. T. Smith, the Emperor's confidential agent.

MEW YORK.

INCAPACITY OF THE EMPEROR A.VI) oTIIKR FRENCH OFFICERS. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—A special cable dispatch from London says, letters from Metz speak in a most undisguised way of the calamitous and fabulous incapacity of the Emperor, Marshal Lcbouf and till military dandies composing the military staff of the army and utter the lost conlidence of the army, and a change in command was an absolute necessity to prevent mutiny. All this while there is no official news whatever of the whereabouts of the Prussian army, and under I he circumstances "no news" is "bad news." It i« stated that Gen. McMahon wanted some days before the battle 10 lire the forests in his front through which Germans came down unexpectedly upon the French, but the Emperor declined to authorize the step.

A special correspondent writes from Paris late on Monday evening, the 8th, "From what I hear of feeling among the people and army, I think it more than probable that Napoleon will never reenter Paris. The army is sick of his amateur Genership.

The statement in the Gaulois of a secret alliance between France and Italy and expected reinforcements of a hundred thousand Italian troops, is certainly false. No matter what the King may have promised his troops, they would irot inarch.

It is rumored in Paris to-day that the Emperor is expected at Paris incognito. M. Buffet and other members of the left center and right center have signed a requisition for dismissal of the Ministers ana formation of a new Cabinet, with Gen. Foracher at the head.

An attack was expected this P. M., on the Bourse. The public were driven out at half past two o'clock by the Gards de Paris. The gates were closed all the evening, and scarcely any business was. done.
