The few words in the last telegram about Prussia may
be Interpreted to nothing remarkable or to mean
great deal This power is about to mediate with arms
in its hands, and just as it puts in motion great army
in the direction of the Rhine. What it will propose it
Of course not definitely known but every relation Of
The sentiment that controls this Court thus far is to the
elect that it will make common with the Court of
AUSTRIA far at least to plant itself the Vienna
settlement the basis of European order, and that its
proposition will be notifications OF existing bases rather
than radical changes This has been certainly, the tone
Of everything that has come from this quarter or that
has borne official stamp There is nothing, therefore
Improbable in the report which came prior to the AIDE
aides news, that Austria had consented in full to oil
PSaS propositions and that the basis of those pro-
positions the concession of miIder rule by Austria.
But is difficult to see how terms of this sort be
accepted by Louis Napoleon He has pledged himself
thoroughly in line upon line to the Italians he has
strongly promised that they shall control their own
destiny that it would to be well nigh impossible
Tor him to accept Of any basis less radical than that OF
The total expulsion of the AuSrians from Italy If PruS
@ does not consent to that then there is fair prospect
OF general European war. Two facts among the AIDE
ladies advces may Indicate merely precauton, or they
may Indicate a foregone conclusion of wider war;
y; /, That Prussia is moving an army towards the
Rhine and, q that Napoleon, also, preface to any
MelaOn preparing to march an army to the Rhine
Weeks ago it was said that the rejecting mind of Eu-
rope was paying far more attention to the Rhine than to
the Iicino, and events seem to justify this solcltude.
All that can now be said is that the political world
be on the eve of momentouS events. Up to the last
arrival the expression of the Paris preserve think
with hardly exception-has been that Prussia's poll
y was for peace and neutrality The angry debate in
the Prussian chambers the enigmatica words Of the
Prince Regent the mobilization of six corps darmee
We're all interpreted into peace aspect. When it is
remembered that the Paris press utters nothing but
what the Imperial will permits, this tone is most sign
c&9t Of Louis apoleons desire for neutrality What
WIN be the Interpretation, by this press of the Prussiar
Iarca to the Rhine? Is this, too, to be termed an in
Wcauon Of peace? Does Louis NapoIeons counter
movement Indicate confidence in Prussan neutrality?
