WARLrKE DEMoNsrn,rIoSs.- Lon
don Shipping Gazette Of Friday, Nov. 90,
p. m, has the following announcement:
'Ihe intelligence from the Continent is
again of n warlike character. The treaties
OF Berlin and Vienna are now stated to have
arrived at point in which the dispute must
merge in open hos.i!ities, the late nago-
tiatons between the two Cabinets not hay-
ing led to any satisfactory results. The
french Government is said 10 have recey-
ed dispatch from Berlin, announcing that
lhe Austrian Government had demanded
The evacuation of Hesse Clssel within ~
hours. The same dispatch states that n
note drawn up in the most energetic terms,
WAS communicated by the Russian A,basss
ador to the Russian Government

The n. Y. Herald Of this morning has
the following: .-. ...
Ii is said that n vigorous effort will be
made at the next session Of the Legislature
of.his state 10 remove the Capital from Al
bany to this metropolis. We do not know
but this is IL good idea. The reason for es-
tailishing the Capital at Albany was on
account of its cenrra! position. Ia this age
of steam, however, when the state is inter-
sected by rail roads, this reason will not APP
ply. The members Of the NEST distant
counties could reach New York in day
or two. We apprehend the rural districts
will hardly consent to this change.
