hind. The nahounded pretensions of Austria have
stirred French pride. Her extravagant insertion of
• right of exclusive domination is Italy reminds the
French that while in that country the Austrian is an
alien in language and blood, the Italians are connected
with them by strong afßoities of race and drun-
ter. The course followed by the secondary Gite-
man Stater, which, going beyond the de-
fence of German interests, have eagerly sad
systematically sought to thwart the policy
of Franco and Sardinia beyond the Alps, has also
appealed powerfully to French susceptibilities.
A coolitiois of mean jealousies and selfishness hes
been formed around Austria, purposely to annul and
destroy the influence of France. These are things
which a powerful nation will not endure. Accordingly
for the last three months they have been educating
France for war, and raising the people to the level
of the EMPFAOR'S purposes. Tb sentiment of the
working population of the capital is unmistakeable.

The wineshops resound with war songs; and the
regiments of the Army of the Alps, as they set oat
from or pass through Paris, are attended by entha-
&iodic crowds, whose sympathetic cries applaud the
mission of the soldiers. To have enlisted this
strong popular feeling on his side is worth many
risks, and even some sacrifices, to the French
Count MORN T in his address yesterday expressed
the hope that the war might be circumscribed in its
extent, and that it might not become one of revo-
lution or of conquest. To attain the first object, and
strictly confine the military operations to Italy, will
be exceedingly difficult, unless the war should be
short. The natural desire of the French EN PRIOR
iT to deprive the Emperor of At:stale of all right to
invoke that aid which the members of the Germs.

Confederation are bound by treaty to render when
the common territory is violated by foreign arms.
The Lombardo-Venetian provinces lie outside the
circumscription to which the guarantee of Germany
extends ; bat the Tyrol, from which they are not
divided by any natural frontier, and which it would be
difficult for the French commander to leave intact in a
protracted struggle, enjoys that protection, and the
Bret step of a French foot on its soil would give the
Emperor of AUSTRIA the desired pretext for sum-
moning southwest. from every Principality of Get-
many to hie standard. The contingency may indeed
never aria, but if it should it will be for Prussia
and the larger States of the Coofederation to eos-

Whether the war shall become revolutionary or re-
main political will depend math upon the wisdom and
foresight of the Governments concerned. It is an im-
mense advantage—and we commend the consideration
to statesmen of Lord Drarir's order, who declaim
ermine( the.' aggressive and propagandist tendencies
