The foreign news in this days paper indicates general fostilitieS in Europe. The scene is again to be opened on the battle field of modern war among these civilized nations, and it IS not imp1oba- blc that the new tragedy will begin where the last was closed--upen the theatre of Waterloo. TEe Eery;f ery;fiillasrTsae name of Belgium is akin to the Roman word for war, and this little spot may be. con sidered as sort of circus where the na- tions appear as gladiators to dEsplay their skill in the bloody trade. The respite since the battle of Waterloo has has been quite long breathing spell, and may look upon 1t as certain that the royal sport of the sovereigps will now be spedily resumed.
 It must be matter of congratula- ton with the Interchangeable, that this account which exhibits the nations of Europe in the act of putting on srmor to contend against each other, finds ey- cry motion of discord with the bellig- erents on the part of our Republic, re- moved. There IS now no difficulty re- maining which is calculated to throw the United States into the conflict, and our country is destined to enjcy the blessings of its pacific institutions, in a greater degree. not merely as in con Itrast with those which bring desolation on Europe, but as inviting that prosper ity which is expelled by violence from the shores of the old continent.

When we take every thing into consideration when clock at thiegsas they noso ex lst, and have existed, since John Pope has been the Governor--when we recall to our recollection the paYtiSdn feelings of NIT.

 To meet occasional demands, as the building progresses, the Governor propo- ses 10 ssfct ftco or eeen three sections of the land be sold each year, at e price ,tot less ihnn fhree dolia9s per acre" Was ever moro "a6surd and preposteros,s" idea ad- vanced!

NEW UifLEANs. Sept. Z6,
 The present season has been, thus fav one of unparalleled healthfulness.-- There has been no epidemic, and tbe. deaths has been fewer than among inc popolution of the northern cities of the, same number of inhabitants. There were. for instance. but B interments
 in both cemeteries, during the past week; a number which was considera. ply exceeded both in Boston and Ral,t,1 more at the latest dates from those ci. ties. As 1t seems 10 be the opinion oi medical gentlemen that the citizens who are absent may now return with perIecll safety; and as the rivers above are mos1 ly payigable, it may be presumed thaI business will open with eonsiderabh| vigor, much earlier than is usual.

Nothing shows more plainly the change wrought in public sentiment in France, than the manner in which the National Guard are, on all public oc- casions, treated by the regulars.

It seems that the report of the rising ot the slaves, and ss.ae burning of Will m'ngton,is erroneous. The story grew out of what was in contemplation. in- ss.ead of what had taken place. The latest accounts say that the conspiracy has been detected, and ? number of slaves up for trial. We hope that the public excitement will not involve the innocent with the guilty; and that mere suspicion will not be allowed to produce convictions, where the crime itself ex- its only in the intention.
