FRANKFORT, MARCH 15.—The great question
whether, peace is to continue, or a new war to break-
out on the Continent, is dot yet deiermitted,. and
may remain 'some
.days; .or (though that is not very
likely) some weeks-longer undecided. It on the
one hand, certain, that the Cabinets Of Paris, Vi-
enna, and St-PeterSburgh
.are still in treaty, and that
no Ambassador has yet. set oil' front Vienna. except
the French, who hits gene to NHS' upon leave, hav-
ing left a Charge d'Affaires at Vienna. But it is also
certain, on the other hand,
,that the military prepa-
rations on the part both of Austria and of France
and her allies, continue to assume a more serious and
menacing aspeCt ; and- we are strongly dispesed to
doubt ' whether the old adage, " if you. wish for
peace, be prepared for war," retains, any force or ap-
plicability in these times.,
Mann 18.—The military preparations on the
side of France daily become more serious. This day
1400 conscripts arrived here.from Mentz, on their

lumber of conscripts are expeeited • and, dccording
to. some persons, the passage of atis .description of
troops will continue for several days Mora. On the'
'other hand, we have now positive intelligence 'of a
large body of French cavalry, and the whole of Ge:.
neral Boudet's division having passed the Illhine) at
Basle,. on the tenth and eleventh instant, on:their
march 'for Ulm, where they are expected on the
loth and .oth. The divisions of Legrand and St.
Cyr passed it at Strasburg!) On the 13th. l'hattof
Molitor was to follow immediately, and these three-
divisions were also to proceed with the utmost expe-
ditign' for „where they will receive further
orders-. , A great number of conscripts are also pass-
ing the 'thine at Strasburgh.. The Baden. troops
are assembling at Pforzheim, whence they are to
proceedior their further destination under the com-
mand of General Nagel. The troops of :Westpha-
