The London correspondent Of the Tfi.
bupe. in late letter, gives the following
statement ofthe position Of the various
Governments in relation to the war, and
the prospects as TO future sctiOn: -
In order TO understand the intricacy ol
European alliances. must call your at.
tention to the following statement, which
shows the relations Of the different pow.
eTs now involved in the transactions:
l. Turkey. England and France are
the original allies at war with Russia.
g. Austria is allied 10 all the Original
Allies; she declares her hostility to The
Gear; still she is not at war with him.
3. Prussia is in defensive alliance with
Austria; she is snubbed by the original
allies, but is on the eve Of signing treaty
Of neutrality with them. though still on
friendly terms with Rnssia.
A. Sardinia is allied to the origina
allies. and preparing to send an army
against Russia, but her Ministers disclain
any alliance with Austria.
s. Naples, Oh the other hand, has moth
ing to do with England, where Gladstone
is Minister, or with France, where Mura
is dreaming of the Neapolitan crown
but King Bombs allies himself 10 Austria
and, sends an army corps ,othe Danubian
Principalities.
6. Tuscany. Modena and Parma are
to ally themselves with Austria, and lC
furnish coniingents TO her army.
T. The German Princes, bound BY the
treaty of 1915 10 defend the frontiers O
Germany, woveE between the neutrality
Of Prussia, friendly TO the Car, and the
neutrality of Austria, hostile TO the Gar
but in any case they decline to play the
second fiddle and to arm for the benefit
OF either party.
Such is the position of Europe, com
plicated as it never was before, and alto
gelher depending on the life and good
health Of Napoleon Ill, who has NO
heirs and no stat, sman able to continue
his work in the same direction. 1t is be-
lieved in Paris thathe is about to proceed
to Sebas,opcl, and to take the command
Of the army He is dissatisfied with Can
robert, be does not like Pelssier. and dis
trusts Bosquet. He has made overture:
to ,Cavignnc which were rejected with
scorn, and he has conceived the notion O.
trying his own fortune in the field. Sill
1.-THE difficulties are almost ipsurmouniable
Who can govern France, in the me antime!
His half brother; Count Morny, is devo.
ted to him, but be cares more for. the
operations o. the Societe Mobiiere and
the Stock Exchange, than for high poll
tics, and Paris remains the most danger>
Gus and most treseherous city Of the
world, The rumor about his departure
to the sea. OF war. is, therefore, not fully
scTedited here in London; and excites in
tense displeasufe. The army at Boulognt
1is now officially called the army Of th'
Rhine, as a threat against Prussia. An
other army is soon to 60 by way of Milan
Venice. Trieste and Vienna, to Bohemit
land ,Galicia. in order to force Austria t
the offensive. But Austria will no, stir
unless subsidized by England; and tht
English Parliament will scarcely ever
return to the lold system of subsidies
which has saddled the country with 1T
1 present enormous debt. Everybody
: therefore, would be glad 10 see peace re
established, except Napoleon, who ha
not ye, reaped any glory in the field
The Turks have had their Oltenitza
/ Tshetate and Silistria. the English thei
Alma and InkeTmann, the Russians tbei
Asiatic campaign and Sebastopol; but th
French have nothing to boas. Of, and III
French nation is peculiarly bent upol
glory, and Napoleon cannot conclud
!, peace without winning at least one sigma
victory" Therefore the English do nc
4 believe in speedy termination of the wa
by The Vienna Conferences, and th
Z. English and French armaments 60 on a
if the war vas to be everlasting.
