The European News.

There have four or FIVE steamers arrived
from Europe during the past week, and
the telegraph has given heightened des-
patches of The news they brought; but
there is so much Of it mere report and ru-
NOR, that we find but little space is needed
to state what is reliable
We have, in the first place, formal de-
claration of war by Austria against Sardi-
mia
Secondly, the scornful rejection by Sar-
DINA, of Austrias demand to disarm and
an imprisoned appeal by the King to his
people to arm for the contest with Austria.
And lastly, the manifesto of Louis Ma
poleon, which says: Austria has virtu-
ally declared war against France, and no
| thing remains but to take up the sword in
defence" He disclaims all idea of con-
quest and processes nothing but the pur-
est sympathy for Italy, and says he is about
| to place himself at the head of the army
and leave the Empress and his son to the
patriotic care of the French people.
We have also the official declaration of
the Swiss confederation, of Prussia, and
some other German powers, of their pur-
pose to remain neutral in the present con
test
Beyond these, the news relates chiefly
to the movement Of troops on both sides
both Austria and France being engaged i'll
pouring enormous armies into Piedmont
as rapidly as possible. Austria, in this bu
siness, had evidently been greatly before
hand with France, and by having thrown
| arge forces across the Ticino even before
France had commenced moving her ar
mics, had gained an advantage which she
appears strangely to have failed to turn tc
account After crossing the Ticino her ar
mics came to a halt. and have rot vet go
into the heart Of Sardinia, while, if she
had pushed forward at once, the Who'll,
country might have been overrun before
the French could have crossed the Alps
1t is said however, in explanation, tina
the Austrian armies We're srrested in thei
movements by the artificial inundation o
the country between the Ticino and tn,
Po by the Sardinians
Except a little diminishing between TIL
Sardinians and Austrians at the croSs!n;
; OF the Pc, there appears yet to have bee!
no actual collision.
! England, of course, takes the position
= of armed neutrality, but the rumor OF al
alliance, offensive and defensive betwee,
1 France and Russia has alarmed the Bri.
I ish nation, and if such should eventual.
prove to be the fact, England may yet, il
i self-defcnce, be obliged 10 join hands will

Such may be regarded as the general
tenor OF the later adviccs from Pike S

that there are many others who write
quite favorably; who speak of finding

mass of these unfavorable reports come
from the newly arrived cmigrants who
are frightened before they get there, and
not finding gold Immediately on their ar

SARDINIA AND PIEDMONT readers,
whose geography is rusty, will remember
that the words Sardinia and Piedmont are
used by the newspaper writers as express
ing one and the same idea. In part, Pied
mont IS but the central andprincipal part
Of the Sandman Kingdom; but it covers
so much of Sandman territory, that no dis
tinction Is made, nowadays, between the
two in ordinary speech. The confusion
introduced into current newspaper accounts
of events in Europe, by describing a force
of Sandman, i'll one sentence, and as Pied
Inontese, in the next, renders this little
explanation necessary, though but few will

Fun Nor CONFINED TO MAS-The fol-
lowing interesting paragraph is taken from
a work entitled - Passions of Animals
Small birds chase each other about in
play, but perhaps the conduct Of the crane
and trumpeter is the most extraordinary.
The latter stands upon one leg, hops about
in the most eccentric manner and throws
somersets. The Americans call 1t the mad
bird on account of these slmilarltles.-
Water birds, such AS ducks and geese,
dive after each other and clear the surface
of the water with outstretched neck and
tapping wings, throwing abundant spray
around. Deer often engage in sham bat
tie or trial of strength, by twisting their
horns together, and pushing tor the mas
terry.
All animals pretending violence in their
play, stop short of exercising it; the dog
takes the greatest precautiOn not to I'M urc
by his bite; and the ourang outang, in
wrestling with his keeper, pretends to
throw him, and makes fe;nts of biting him
Some animals carry out in their play the
semblance OF catching their prey; young
eats, for instance, leap after every small
and moving object, even the leaves strew-
ed by the autumn wind; they crouch and
steal forward ready for the spring, the
the body quivering, and the tail vibrating
with emotion, they bound on the moving
leaf and again spring forward to another
Bengger saw yonng jaguars and cougars
playing with round substances like kit
tens Birds Of the maybe kind are anal
ogues of monkeys-full of mischief, play
and mimicry. There is a story of tame
maybe, that was seen busily employed in
garden gathering pebbles, and with much
solcmnity and studied air buried them in
hole made to receive post. After drop
ping each stone, it cried "currack!' tri-
umphantly, and set off for another On
examining the spot, "a poor toad was found
in this hole, which the maybe was stoning
