We print this morning a summary
Of intelligence from Europe three days
later than our previous advices. No
declaration Of war has yet taken place,

and France, the old story Of renewed
negotiations and probable peace is
again set on foot with as much indus

parties TO take the final step becomes
more striking as the moment when il
can no longer be postponed seems
rapidly to approach. Many steamers
have been taken up by the British
Government to transport troops 10

them are the Niagara and Cambria,
