IMPORTANT NEWS FROM EUROPE.
We exclude several articles prepared Tor our
paper 10 day, in order 10 make room for the late
foreign news. Ii will be seen that our transat-
antc neghbors talk strong-use "big words"
as they are accustomed TO do ON all similar occa-
sions, "lull Of sound and fury" and ending

of England, is supremacy absurd. The genius
of the present age is opposed TO war; the para
mount interests Of the whole civilized world,
imperatively demand the permanent continue
lion Of peace. Besides-England has enough
10 attend to within her own borders. Two mil
lions Of lion-hearted Charlists-three millions Of
indomilable lrishmen, unpurchaseable and I'M
conquenble-ta belle France waiting TO pay
of her old debts, principal and interest-the
condition of the Canadas and her East India
possessions-all forbid the superstition for sin-
gle instant, that England will go TO war. she
cannot-sHE DARE NOT
But let her do it-let her try il, without
days notice, if she chooses-she will find us
armed and equipped according To- law" She
will find, 10 her cost, that the mantle Of the i'm
mortal hero, who still fingers at the Hermitage,
has fallen upon one who is fully able to preserve
from blemish the standard Of our nations ho-
nor. The venerable trunk. may deesy-but the
Young Hickory Tree de6es alike, in the I'M
scathed greatness Of its strength, the toruado's
violence and the red ightning's wrath.
