THiTnEW WAR PHASE IN EUROPE.
The threatening intervention of Russia,
as announced by telegraph, renders the
war situation of France and Germany ex
ceedingly interesting. The design of the
Muscovite Government to rupture the
treaty of Paris causes all the hurly-burly.
The contracting parties to this treaty were
England, France, Russia, Sardinia and
Turkey. The following synopsis of the
more pertinent articles may prove oppor
tune reading:
Article 9. Mentions that the Sultan grants
retormation in regard to his Christian sub
e<Art. 11. The Black Sea is neutralized.
While open to the mercantile marines of
all nations, its waters and ports are for
mally and in perpetuity interdicted to ves
sels of war, whether belonging to nations
having territory bordering on it, or other-
W *Art. 12. This article prescribes that all
regulations respecting trade in the Black
Sea shall be conceived in a spirit favorable
to the development of coamaecEjal jvaiisac
tions. ’ ‘ - .
Art. 13. The Black Sea being neutralized
by a foregoing provision, Russia and 'l ur
key engage neither to construct nor main
tain any naval or military arsenal upon its
coast. .
Arts. 20 and 21 concede a portion of
Russian territory, to be annexed to the
Principality of Moldavia.
Art. 22. The Principalities of Wallachia
and Moldavia are to enjoy, under the suv
ereinty of the Porte, and under the guaran
tee of the contracting Powers, the privi
leges and immunities of which they are in
possession. No exclusive protection shall
be exercised over them by any of the guar
anteeing Powers. There shall be no private
right of interference in their affairs.
Art. 23. The Sublime Porte guarantees
to the aforesaid Principalities an indepen
dent and national administration, as well
as full liberty of worship, legislation, com
merce and navigation.
Art. 28. The Principality of Servla will
continue to be dependent upon the Su
blime Porte, and subject to stipulations
nearly similar to those named for the other
Principalities.
Art. 30. Russia and Turkey are to retain
in their full integrity their possessions in
Asia to the same extent as before the war.
Comrtiissioners are to be appointed to set
tle the boundaries.
The New York Herald, has an elaborate
leader showing the part played by Russian
intervention since 1829. The Herald scoffs
at the popular idea that Russia really cares
to possess Constantinople. Many plausi
ble examples are adduced to show that she
could have throttled the Bultan, almost
with impunity, in 1829, in 1840, in 1848, in
1859, and in 18GG. In the first case, a vic
torious Russiau Marshal was within fifty
miles of Byzantium, and only prevented
from a conquest and occupation of that
city by positive orders from St. Petersburg.
The grand council of notables decided that
an acceleration of the Turk’s downfall was
not to the interest of Russia. In 1840,
when the Pacha of Egypt, Mehemet Am,
aided by France, was thundering at the
aes of Constantinople, 50,000' Russians
it to the aid of Turkey, and baffled back
the Pacha. It is claimed that, in *B4B,
when all Europe was In revolution, the
Czar Nicholas could have occupied and
possessed the Ottoman empire at his leis
*re. In 1852, the Emperor Napoleon of
fered to yield Constantinople to Russia,
for her aid in consolidating his dynasty.
Russia indignantly, even insultingly, re
fused the proffer. Hence the alliance be
tween England and Fmnce resulting in the
Crimean war. In 1859, Constantinople was
again offered by France to Russia to secure
co-operation against Austria. The in
glorious peace at Villa Franca was occa
sioned by Russia’s refusal to be a party to
such a contract, despite the base ingrati
tude of the Hapsbnrgs. It is finally claimed
that < he events ofISGG, the Prusso-Austriau
conflict, gave the Czar a most brilliant op
portunity to possess himself of Turkey if
he had pleased. The Herald thus concludes :
“Russia does not want Constantinople,
amt for this very good reason—that acqui
sition of territory in the South or East
would destroy her equilibrium. The con
quest-ot C mstantinople would necessarily
. be followed by a rush to the South. All the
heterogeneous extremities of the Russian
empire—Finland, Poland, Siberia,Caucasus
—would decay and wither as the limbs of
a man’s body when vitality is withdrawn
from them. In a word, it would happen
with Russia as it happened with the Roman
empire when Constantine removed the
capital from Rome to Byzantium. Rnssia
would be split at first in two aud then into
a thousand fragments. National unity,
greatness, strength, all would be lost.—
These reasons, fully appreciated by Rus
sian statesmen, are a rational explanation
why Russia uever did avail herself of the
opportunities offered to her to take Consti
nople.
“The last question remains—what does
Russia want in the East ? That question
has been answered, with almost mathe
matical precision, by a formula emanating
from the great Chancellor, Priuce Gorts
chakoff: ‘The East to the Eastern people,
by the Eastern people and for the Eastern
people, but only to, for and by them.'—
That is, Russia wants the legitimate pro
prietors of the East gradually developed,
emancipated and formed into groups already
existing by their historical and social ele
ments. Russia does not want to see Eog
land or Prance or any other Power taking
a foothold in thtxe regions; and, rather
than permit that, she will fight to her last
man and her last rouble. The war move
ment of Russia, now reported, looks not to
auy extension of territory at the expense
of Turkey, but to getting l id of the shackles
placed upon her commercial and naval de
velopment by the treaty of 1856.”
Some weeks ago, the Moniteur Universel
declared that there was undoubted author
ity for stating that a secret treaty existed
between Russia and Prussia. The Moni-
Uur explains as follows:
“ When the war broke out between Prus
fp and France, the Emperor ot Russia de
clared to the French Ambassador at St.
Petersburg that it was his intention to
preserve the strictest neutrality, provided
that Austria did the same. Austria, on
her part, had made a formal declaration of
neutrality, but as her armaments were not
even adequate to the usual peace footing,
she commenced pushing them forward, al
though with her characteristic slowness,
aud only so as gradually to attain the nor
mal strength. Russia took umbrage at
this, and a few days after the declaration
of the Emperor Alexander to Gcu. Fleury,
• the Russian Charge d’Affaires at Paris re
ceived instructions by telegraph to see the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to call his
attention to the fact that the neutrality of
Russia was conditional upon, and entirely
subordinate to, the inaction of Anstria. If
Austria called out her reserves, Russia
would do the same; if Austria increased
her artillery, Russia would increase hers.
In a word, Russia would, under all cir
cumstances, regulate her armaments ac
cording to those of Austria, and to avoid
the two countries entering upon a course
which could not bntbe attended with some
danger, the Russian Government appealed
to France, so that by causing Austria to
desist from arming, Russian neutrality
plight be insured. The Russign Charge
<V Affaires went so far as to ask the Minister
of Foreign Affairs to declare that he would 1
take no steps whatever having for their ob
ject to bring Austria into alliance with
France. (This occurred at the comnfcncc
ment of the war, before the first reverses of
the French, and when the assistance of
Austria was yet possible.) The French
Minister replied ‘that he was not informed
of the extraordinary armaments of Austria,
which seemed so to alarm the Russian Gov
ernment; that, moreover, if Austria was
really arming, he had no pretense to re
monstrate with the Cabinet of Vienna with
a view of obtaining the cessation of prepar
ations which evidently could in no way bo
directed against France. Besides, he did
not see anything objectionable in Russia
arming on her part, if she thought fit, nor
would he be Any the more disposed to make
shell a course the object of diplomatic rep
resentations, for he was persuaded that
such would in no case, on a question of
this character, conduce to any alteration
id the resdlitiions of the Russian Govern
ment. As to the demand that he should
declare in advance that in no case would
France seek an alliance with Austria, such
a declaration at the commencement of a
war would be at least inopportune, and
could not justify itself sufficiently by the
prospective neutrality of Russia.’ The
Russian Charge d’Aflfaires then added that
France would, nevertheless, fiud such a
course to her interest and a certain advant
age ; for the moment that Austria declared
against Prussia, that same instant would
Rnssia take the field against Austria.
‘ Then,’ replied the French Minister, ‘that
is because you have a secret treaty with
Prussia.’ That the armaments of Austria
should have provoked similar movements
in Russia as a measure of precaution
could be regarded as a natural consequence,
but the moment that Russia declared
her readiness to attack Austria, if the latter
sided against Prussia, it became evident
that before the war a treaty had been en
tered into between Prussia and Russia.—
And tiiis is had happened, as has
since been made manifest* by the course of
events. What are the clauses of this treaty ?
This question will naturally occnr to all
experienced politicians, and, although the
two sovereigns have preserved absolute
secrecy upon the reciprocal conventions, it
is not impossible to determine what are
the principal points. All who are acquaint
ed witli the traditional policy of Russia—
of the two currents of opinion which divide
that vast empire - —all, in fact, who can
form an estimate of the various elements
which at the same time constitute its pow
ers and its weakness will find no difficulty
in foreseeing with what object the Emperor
Alexander lias bound himself by treaty to
the King of Prussia. As its further devel
opment proceeds this question will doubt
less receive further attention. For the present
It may suffice to establish clearly by infor
mation, the accuracy of which is guaran
teed, that Rnssia is in the Prussian camp,
and that she is there by virtue of a treaty
of which England would do well to seek to
ascertain the clauses, so as to be able to
anticipate their consequence befoie it is too
late to avert them.”
It the coalition of Prussia aud Russia be
really complete, the most stupid as well as
the meanest thing ever perpetrated by the
English Government was its standing aloof
from its old ally in the day of trial. Unless
some extraordinary diplomacy should post
pone a general European war, it will not
be long before other countries are called
to a reckoning as bloody as that of France.
THE MYSTERIOUS RAIN.
Some days ago we published an account
from Mobile of a mysterious dropping of
rain upon certain graves in the cemetery
near that city. The “mystery” is thus
sol ved ;
To the Itidilor of the Register :
Having occasion to visit a sick person
near the Catholic graveyard, curiosity
prompted me to to make some inquiry about
the phenomenon of rain falling in a certain
yard. It is all due to a young leafless wild
cherry tree standing in an adjoining yard.
This is not uncommon at tills season of the
year with the wild cherry, crape myrtle,
and swamp poplar trees. It. is caused by
the sap ascending after the leaves have
fallen off, in great quantities, from some
atmospheric causes. The littlo scar left on
the branches when the lent' falls off coats
over with gum ; the sap rises and collects
under the coat, and by a “ Isis a lergo" action
bursts the coating, and many of them at a
time produces a very fine shower. There
are other phenomena of this kind in and
about the city. One (a poplar tree in Holly’s
Garden) is now, or was about a week ago,
giving forth quite as much water us the
one in question. A crape myrtle tree on the
old Shell road has been showering every
Fall for many years.
Mobile, November 3,1870. 11.
As having a curious affinity with the
above paragraph, we reproduce an extract
from the Holly Springs (Miss.) Reporter:
“ A singular phenomenon may be wit
nessed on the farm of M. C. Pegues, five
miles southeast of Holly Springs. A black
gmn tree, about thirty feet high, growing
on a hillside,surrounded by other trees, has
been for years a source of wonder to many
in this neighborhood, and has gained for
itself the name of ‘Raining Tree.’ Oil
Saturday last several persons visited this
remarkable tree. The day was perfectly
calm, warm, and cloudless, with the ex
ception of a few clouds in the South. Im
mediately under, and a short distance be
yond the branches of the tree, a gent.e rain
was falling continually, saturating the
ground beneath, and nowhere else was a
particle of moisture visible. The water
collected iu fallen leaves had the appear
ance and taste of rain-water.”
If science could so easily and satisfac
torily explain the tricks of the Davenport
Brothers, how very happy some people
would be.
AkekMan.— We learu that the present
crown-officer is to be retired, or is to retire,
from the Cabinet at the close of the Sena
torial term of March next. Mr. Williams,
of Oregon, is to take his place. Akeuman’s
health is too delicate for Cabiuet labors,
and he doubtless wishes to come to Georgia
and “fix” things.
Starvation in Paris—Eating a Me
nagerie.—No more startling presage of
the famine which threatens Paris conld be
furnished than the London telegram of the
12th, which announced that the Parisians
began on the 7th iustant to slaughter and
eat the flesh of the different animals In the
Jardin des Plantes. It was added that “the
meat rates high in the market. Yak sold
at thirty francs per pound. The monkeys
were to be killed and eaten during the next
ensuing week.” Lon<r before the war, sci
entific men in Paris had partially succeeded
in popularizing horse meat as an article of
food. But none of them had dreamed of
the approaching necessity of recommend
ing yak, or anything else to be found at
Paris only in the meuagerie of the Jardin
des Plantes. This menagerie is indeed
abundantly supplied with animals. It is
one of the most extensive in the world.
Established in 1794, it has become an im
portant, addition to the attractions of the
Garden, which itself dates from the reign
of Louis XIII. The various compartments
of the menagerie are enclosed by iron rail
ings. Noah’s ark conld not have been
more crowded with anl.nal and reptile life.
Here are all kinds of poultry, geese and
swans; crocodiles, alligators, lizards, boa
constrictors, buffaloes, lions, liears, ele
phants, camels, camelopards, hyenas, pan
thers, Bengal tigers anil innumerable mon-.
keys. In the good old days of peace the
visitor was directed to apply to M. le Di
recteur dn Jardin des Plantes for a ticket
to witness the feeding of the animals; but
now that dire war has induced the Paris
ians to feed upon them, a differently word
ed ticket will be required. No doubt
Parisian cookery will be equal to the emer-
but the Parisian restaurants will
need new and strange bills of fare.

to sweep it off, if not, England and other
Powers are obliged to do so.
All the papers speak of Russia’s demand
as insolent. England will stand firm to 4

Granville told Gladstone they must
choose between going with the tide or out
of office. For the moment, thwy have yield
ed.
The members who oppose the position
assumed by Granville, in his reply to Gorts
chakoff, are Lowe, Chilvers, Bruce, Card
well and Ayer ton.
The truth is, Granville sent his reply in
hot haste, his colleagues,
aud then informed them that the country
was committed to his position. He could
not and would not recall it.
The Morniny Post says, editorially : “The
cause of France has become the cause of
Europe. All neutral Stales are bound to
assist her to obtain a peace and leave her
intact, or aid her to continue the war, in
order to hold Prussia engaged, while Eng
land, Austria, Italy and Turkey whip Rus
sia into submission. Either Prussia must
sign an ea-y peace to liberate her forces, or
France declining, will once more prove
herself the savior of Europe.”
The Standard has a bitter attack upon
Russia and Prussia, who, it says, conspired
to commit the monstrous act of perfidy and
violence, an audacious contempt of moral
ity, introducing chaos and a series of end
less European wars. The existence of uo
English Ministry is worth a week’s pur
chase that would dare i\ot give fight to this
insoleut challenge.
Washington, November 17.—Granville’s
position, as understood here, is, that Rus
sia may ask abrogation of the treaty by
the usual routine, bnt may not disregard
its provisions until so abrogated.
The strength of the United States army

The following is another analysis of Gran
ville’s note: Eai 1 Granville’s reply to Priuce
Gortschakoff denies the right of Russsia to
recognize, the European situation as releas
ing her from the obligations of a solemn
treaty. It also denies that, assuming as
true that some contracting Power considers
itself released from a treaty, the others are
at. liberty to disregard it. It further says
that instead of making any such announce
ment, Russia should have invited the Pow
ers to consider the subject.
It appears, by official data, that during
