bavonets—Airms As: ominous character of the news
which we published yesterday, but report most
active and determined preparations for the most
deadly conflict. The demand made by Austria upon
Piedmont, to do what would at once be a surrender

under the presidency of the King, had been held.
Other telegrams, which will be found in another
column, have been received, all of which tend to
confirm the opinion, that a war in Europe is only
the question of a few hours.
The other news of this morning is not important.
Advices have been received from Naples, which
report, that the King is not yet dead, but that a
fresh discharge of matter had greatly relieved his
chest; but that it had left him in the last stage of
exhaustion.

Yesterday having been a holiday, there is no elec_
tion news this morning, beyond the fact that Lord
Stanley has positively refused to --,ecome a candidate

for the city of London, and that yet, notwithstand-
ing, the Conservative Committee have resolved to
continue the canvss in his behalf.

yesterday, by the steamer, Tagus. The advice,
