Art. 2. His Majesty the King of Prussia engages to facilitate the acquisition by France of Luxemburg and fortius purpose His Majesty will enter into negotiation with His Majesty the King of the Netherlands with the view of inducing him to cede his sovereign rights over the Duchy to the Emperor of the French, on the terms of such compensation as shall be judged adequate or otherwise. Emperor of the French, on his side, en gages to assume whatever pecuniary charges this arrangement may involve. "Art. o. His Majesty the Emperor of French shall raise no opposition to a Federal Union to the Confederation of North Germany with the States of South Germany, excepting Austria, and this Federal Union may be based on one common Parliament, due reservation, however, being made of the sovereignty of the said States.
Art. 4. His Majesly the King of Prussia, on his sid°, in case iiis Majesty the Emperor of the French should be led by circumstances to cause hfs troops to enter Belgium or to conquer it, shall grant armed aid to. France, and shall support her with all his forces, military and naval, in the face of and against every power which should, in this eventuality, declare war. "Art. 5. To insure the complete execution of the preceding conditions, his Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the Emperor of the French contract, by the present treaty, an alliance offensive and defensive, which they solemnly engage to maintain. Their Majesties bind themselves, beside and in particular, to five states, (he integrity of which they reciprocally guaranty, may be threatened with attack: and they shall hold themselves bound, in any like conjecture to undertake without delay, and trader no pretext to decline, whatever military arrangements may be enjoined by their common interest conformably to the terms and provisions above declared.
THE Empress Regent of France, upon the resignation of Ollivier Ministry, authorized General Palikao to form a new Cabinet. General Palikao is a distinguished soldier. He was born in 179(5, and is, consequently, 74 years old. At an early age he went into the military service in Africa, where he distinguished himself as a cavalry officer. He served there twenty years, attaining considerable distinction. He was then recalled to France, and appointed head of the 21st Military Division. In 1860, he took command of the French expedition to China, and led the united French and English forces to Pekin. The destruction of the Chinese forte, and the great victory at Palikao, forced the Chinese to accept the obnoxious treaty. In July, 1861, on his return to Paris, he was made Senator of France, Count of Palikao, and Commander of the Fourth Army Corps. He did not participate in the Italian war, though upon his return from China, he had been forty-two years in active service and had fought in* tweuty-eight battles. What his success will be as a Minister, and how acceptable he will prove to the populace of Paris and of the Legislalive Department, remains to be seen.

Haute
Gazelle. As the GAZETTE gave cur/ency to tho report that "LIIG man who died with smallpox" had, after death, been torn and eaten by the hogs and dogs, and then went back on the report, we da:e not credit the statement "that lie was in the hands of Democratic officials*" Even if they were Democrats, we do not go back on our opinion.— N. A. Ledger.
The GAZEI E never gave currency to the report alluded to in the above, but on the cont'-ary, coni cadictecl the repoct, consequently we did not "go back" on it. It seems to be a prominent feature of the Ledger to misrepresent, if a half a chance is allowed. It was an imprudent thing to put such a rumor into a newspaper, but that imprudence lies not at our door, and if the Ledger was disposed to be fair, it would have said .so. That paper appears to have a particular spite at all cities in the State larger and more important than new Albany.
WATCII STOLEN.. This morning a watch was stolen oin a man by the name of Jno. Smith, who works at one of our livery stables. Complaint was made by him to thy.Mayor, and a warrant was issued for the arrest of Jno. Miller, who, it was said, had stolen the watch. Miller was as- esied by officer Vandeve,-, MId tal en beibie the Mayor, and at the Willing of tli's report was having a preliminary examination. He sold the watch to Wm. Statz, on Fourth street, for the sum of i?3,U3.

Patterson said ilia this revolver was worth $22. Theoflending party was taken before the Mayor, and was awaiting a trial at the hour of writing this report.
The Secret Treaty—The Full Text. The following is a copy of the celebrated secret treaty: "His Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, judging it useful to bind closer the ties of friendship which unite them, and so confirm the relations of good neighborhood which exist between the two countries, and being besides convinced that to attain this result, which is moreover, of.a kind to ensue the maintenance of the general peace, it is for their interest to come to an understanding on the questions concerning their future relations, have resolved to conclude a treaty to the following effect, and have in consequence nominated as their representatives the following persons, viz: His Majesty, &c. His Majesty, &c. "Who, after exchanging their full powers, which have been found in good and due form, have agreed on the following articles: "Article 1. His Majesty the Emperor of the French acquiesces in and recognizes the gains made by Prussia in the course of the last war waged by her against Austria and that power's allies.

The Stale of Things in Cuba.
Late advices from Madrid, which we believe to be trustworthy, state that on urgent requisition of Gen. De Rodas, some 11,000 troops will be sent to Cuba early in October. Inasmuch, however, as the farce of an election of Deputies to the Cortes is to be held there about that time, the troops may be destined for electoral as well as military purposes.
From all that we can learn, it behooves the Spaniards, if they desire to avail themselves of one last desperate chance of reconquering the island, to lose no time in furnishing these reinforcements. Both Spanish officers and men in Cuba are much demoralised and very despondent. The tenacity with which the Cubans have carried on the war and held their own, almost unarmed and undisciplined as they have been, has led the Spaniards who have beenjia tbe fight to feel that such men can never be conquered. The desertions from the Spanish ranks have also been largely on the increase of late.
Meanwhile the patriots are quietly but steadily supplied by their friends abroad with all they require—arms and ammunition and by raids on small outlying attachments of Spaniards they acquire considerable supplies. Several expeditions have lately been dispatched from that country, and others are being organized. Some difference .seems to have existed in the opinions of Cubans here as to the proper persons to whom should be intrusted the charge of delivering these priceless remittances of arms and ammunition to the patriots in the field. The main object, we suppose, is to get them there and as no one to whom they may be intrusted is likely to deliver them to any but Cubans, the person to whose care tliey are confided is not so important a matter. Even if some Cubans, for reasons which we ignore, but which may be perfectly valid, are unwilling to contribute if these supplies are to be sent by Jones, put perfectly disposed to aid the cause if they are to be consigned to the care of Smith, w* see no reason why they should not be entitled to do so, provided both Joues and Smith are worthy of confidc-ncc. And in this case there is no great danger that either Jones or Smith will damage the cause, even if inclined to do so, otherwise than nagatively.—N. Y. Sun.
THE Boston Advertiser says that tbe toail amount of our indebtedness to Europe is now believed to be about fifteen hundred millions. By far tbe largest portion of this is in the shape of Government bonds, the rest being railroad and State securities and private debts. It is not easy to determine the proportion of these debts the war will throw upon us for liquidation, but it is easy to calculate the amount the country could meet without embarrassment. A tenth of the whole, if suddenly returned, miglit create a panic that would shake the country from center to circumference. A still smaller sum would work serious injury to our national interests. Three influences will affect, more or less directly, the condition of our bonds abroad. The war itself, by unsettling values and causing a general feeling of uneasiness in the markets, will lead capitalists to convert their funds into ready money, into real estate, oi at least into securities which guarantee extraordinary advantages. Our own bonds hit the market in this way ten years ago, but as the time draws nigli for their redemption the popularity given them by a lygh rate of interest of course diminishes. It does not seem probable that the commercial balance will be much disturbed. Breadstuffs will improve, cotton will decline, and the general result will remain the same. The main source of danger to our bonds lies in the fact that the belligerents in the war will come into tbe market as formidable competitors against the United States. They will cease to be lenders and become borrowers. The North German Confederation have opened subscriptions for a one hundred thalers five per cent. loau. The loan will be offered at 88 per cent, of its par value, and this discount will bring the interest up to about five and one-half per cent. Should the war prove along one, both Germany and France will probably offer even better terms.
ONE of the last engagements of the old Emperor Napoleon was fought at Brienne, in France, in 1841, the seat of the military college where he had commenced his extraordinary military career a quarter of a century before. Curiously enough the third Napoleon is now contending with adverse fate near Strasburg, whence he set out for the Imperial crown in 1836. In each case the cycle of years brought both back to the cradle from which their fortunes had emerged.
A YOUNG LADY of Milwaukee has been executing the Emperor Napoleon in worsted. King William, of Prussia, has also just turned off a worsted Napoleon The latter has been sent to Paris.

In pursuance of the resolutions passed at the meeting held on last Thursday evening by our Irish fellow-citizens, a petition subscribed with thousands of names, praying the President to exercise the executive clemency in the case of the misguided Fenians now in durance has ecn gotten up and will be presented to President Grant by the following comitt'"-:

Resolved, That it is the sense and desire of this meeting that in view of the approaching visit of our President to this city, that we petition and pray him to exteud to our misguided but gailant countrymen, Generals O'Neill Starr and others, now suffering in prison for their late violation of our neutrality laws, his executive clemency and restore them once more to liberty and friends.
Resolved,, That it is the desire and hope of the Irish nationalists here assembled that our many friends and American sympathisers throughout the country with our cause, will now lend us their aid and influence in petitioning our chief magistrate for the intervention of liis clemency in belief.of our imprisoned countrymen.
Resolved That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the Irish News, Irish Citizen and Irish Republic for publication.
The petition includes the names of citizens of all nationalities and is an influential one. It will be presented at some favorable opportunity during the President's sojourn.—Mo* Democrat,

Secretary Robeson has gone home on a visit. An official report to the War Department says the Sioux are all collecting for a grand council. Red Cloud is exercising a very beneficial influence among them, and hopes to persuade the Cheyennes and Arapalioes to keep the peace.
It appears that the Court of Inquiry on the complaint of the colored cadet at West Point reported his published statement incorrect, and that he had been treated by the authorities with the same consideration as other scholars, and recommended that both he and the white Cadet Gilmore be court martialed. Secretary Belknap disposed of the case by ordering both to be reprimanded, but assured the Cadets that offenders in the future would be dealt with summarily.
Attorney General Ackerman has written an elaborate letter on the subject of Georgia's reconstruction. He declines to arive an opinion on the late act passed by Congress, through motives of professional etiquette but holds that the present State Constitution is the legal one that it provides for the election of half the Legislature during the present year, and therefore such election must be held.

ous sharp-shooters, protected by six guns in a commanding position. Masses of infantry Avere then brought up, and at four o'clock in the afternoon McMahon Avas forced to order a retreat, Avhich was effected in good order, the enemy's pursuit "being without A'igor, and by no means troublesome.
The Marshal was able to send only a partial list of the killed and wounded. A dispatch from Metz, August 11, at fifteen minutes past eight o'clock in the eA'ening, says "It has rained all day. The army is concentrated around this place. It is being reA'ictualled and reinforced. The retreat of McMahon and Failly has been accomplished in excellent order. Bazaine is engaged in A'isiting and inspecting troops under his command. The report that the Prussians occupy Nancy is false."

GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, August 12.—The nieces of the Empress liaATe left Paris. The Echo asserts without qualification, that the Empress Eugenie and the Prince Imperial are in lodgings at St. Johns Wood.
The Weekly Register has the same report, Avhich, hoAveA'er, it gives with the caution to its readers not to place too much confidence in its correctness.
The Examiner says Napoleon adopts the coure most worthy of his name, and of the gravity of the situation. "Roused from indolent indecision by a stunning bloAV, he attains to the greatness of the situation. In the presence of peril, not thinking of himself, his family and the proud nation to Avhich so lately reinvested him Avitli kingly power, laying aside conA-entionalities, he tells France her danger, and exhorts her to the rescue not for his sake, but for her oAvn."
The Cologne Gazette prints the outlines of another treaty, proposed by the Count Benedetti to Bismarck, in 1867.
It stipulates that France shall again take possession of the territory acquired by Prussia in 1814, Prussia supporting France in the recoA'ery of the left bank of the Rhine, from Hesse to Bavaria, and that the guarantee given by the German Confederation in fa\ror of the neutrality of Luxembourg and the Netherlands shall be annulled.
The Gazette adds that Benedetti represented these proposals as having emanated from the Emperor, at Vichy, in 1S66.
The Berlin correspondent to the Times, Avrites that England has declined to join with Austria in the league proposed by Von Beust, for guaranteeing the belligerents against loss of territory. England's reason for declining is that the league could not save the North German Confederation in case Prussia should be defeated.
