The Foreign News---General War Imminent.

per D'ali. ne general tcuof OL Tie news
is of such character as to leave scarcely q
doubt that European war, involving Persia
and perhaps India, is inevitable. The de-
tails of the news are too extended to admit
of publication in our columns, and to publish
only part would not convey correct idea
of the existing state of things. In the ab-
sence, therefore, of full report we subjoin
the following from the New York Herald,
in which, after looking over the entire
ground as represented by the Baltic's ad-
vices, we are forced to concur Chicago
Press.
The State o; Esropa---England Preparing for
War
The news by the Baltic, in its leading fea-
lures is more and more warlke. and in re-
ference to the policy of England is of the
highest moment. The return of Lord Pal
merston to the Cabinet, it is understood, 10
equivalent to deliberate determination 10
prepare for a war with Russia. His coun-
sells are held TO be indispensable to decisive
and united action. The majority of the
Commons will doubtless be with the war
party of the Ministry, for the public senti-
ment of England is unquestiona6ly in favor
of armed intervention for the preservation
Of Turkey.
The decline in the French funds, on re.
ceipt of Palmerston's return to the Mnis-
,ry, is most significant Interpretation Of
he movement. 1t is construed at the
Bourse as foreshadowing the call of the
Continent to arms. There is no difficulty
with Louis Napolecn-none with regard to
the universal wishes of the French army
and the people, France is ready, and il
only waiting the tardy movements of her
ally across the Channel; so that, when the
Cabinet of England begins to move in the
same direction with the popular sentiment
Of England, France, and the United States,
the barometer Of the Bourse gives warning
If hurricane.
The consent Of the Sultan to detail rep
esentative to the new conference Of the
Great Powers at Vienna amounts to little
IT nothing, when he declares that the evacu-
.tion of the principalities, or guarantee to
hat effect, is the sine qua non of Turkey for
4 pac6cation. Nor are the symptoms in
Austria of an inclination to side with the
Gar favorable to peace. Nor is the dubi.
us attitude of Prussia satisfactory. In
act, the prospect of war by England and
France against Russia must inevitably, at
III hazards, unite Austria with the cause Of
he Czar-otherwise Austria is Immediately
estroyed As it is, her position 10 vastly
more critical than that of Turkey. From
he revolutionary elements within the di.
versifed Austrian domains, she will, per.
iaps, in any alliance, only escape destruc-
lion in general contest, from the saving
Intervention Of England and France in the
inal treaty of peace.
The latest news from London OF the de.
| preston in the Stock Exchange, goes
| strongly to confirm the French interpreta-
| tons Of the recall Of Palmerston. In .
word, from the courage of the Sultan, the
wrath of Nicholas, the warlike consistency
of Frunce, and the pressure of public opin-
| on, the British Cabinet are buckling up for
continental war Such is the solution of
the news by the Baltic. The Cambria and
Europa may bring us intelligence still moro
important and decisive.
