LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1849.

Northern Italy has no sooner become, comparatively
speaking, teanqUillised by the rapid victories of
RADETZKY than the flames of war again threaten a
conflagration at opposite extremities of the continent.
Sicily has drawn the sword against Naples--and
Dencnark against Prussia.
At the first moment, when such extraordinary in-
telligence arrives, there of course remains a very con-
siderable degree of doubt as to its authenticity. Un-
fortunately, however, in the present instance we see
little reason for withholding our credence to the infor-
mation. Both the armistices which have now ter-
minated gave small premise of leading to any speedy
or satisialatory reconciliation. Their ricketty cha-
racter threatened at the very outset the ultimate
renewal of hostilities. It is consequently with no
amazement whatever that we hear of the sudden and
simultaneous resumption of arms by the belligerents.
While, however, we are anything but overcome by
sentiments of surprise, we must acknowledge that
the outbreak of war at one and the same period in
the confines of the Roman peninsula and on those of
the peninsula of. Jutland, causes us very serious
anxiety as to the possible success of two most lawless
and most culpable assailants.
We have little fear regarding the heroism of the
Danes or the enthusiastic patriotism of the Sicilians.
What we dread is this—that we may have the mis-
fortune of witnessing another illustration of that
calamitous destiny which so frequently imparts
strength to the guilty and weakness to the innocent.
We shudder lest the straits of -Messina and the fron-
tiers of Schleswig-Holstein may become the scene of
the preponderance of Might over Right. Unhappily
for both of the defenders, for the Danes, and for the
Sicilian', the aggressors have within their grasp a
perceptible superiority. Prussia, banded with the
military eontingenti of the Germanic Confederation,
or rather with auxiliary troops furnished by those
portions of the Germanic Confederation which sym-
pathise in the movement of spoliation, is manifestly a
power in all respects more formidable than the noble
but subordinate monarchy holding the keys of the
Baltic. In the same way it is evident that, contrasted
with the Neapolitans, the Sicilians are numeri-
cally
_inferior. True, that the King of
DEu.
MARK can oppose to the military power of
Lis antagonist, not only a large body of devoted and
valorous soldiers, but a maritime force by no means
inconsiderable. True, again, that the veteran RUG..
GIERO SETTIMO, the leader of the Provisional Govern-
ment, as ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE was in France,
and as LOUIS KOSSUTH is still in Hungary, can bring
into operation against the enemy an amount of devotion
to the cause of which he is the most prominent repre-
sentative, than which no enthusiasm could be more
irresistible. Yet backed as the Danes are by their
navy, and strengthened as the Sicilians are by their
patriotism, there is too much reason for trepidation as
to-their ulterior treatment. The one are endeavour-
ing to shield , themselves from a grievous tepeitorial
spoliatioother are striving to protect themselves
a against their civil rights
a ost Both are sinned against.
