There are serious runors to-day of calling

centrated upon the Linz, that the Western
Railway has already received orders to be pre-

The correspondence Of the London Times, of

| In a few days we will have to announce that
Austria has declared avar against Sardln7a.-
The Emperor Francis Joseph is stated to have
declared his resolution not to be made the foot
ball of the French. The French government
solemnly promised it would make Sardinia dis
preliminary to the Congress. Instead Of keep
ing that proposition, the Paris cabinet advised
Count Cayour not to disarn, but proposed that
both Austria and Sardinia should withdraw
their forces from the frontiers Austria reject
ed this, but offered to, disarm if France and
| Sardinia would do SO likewise. The Emperor
Napoleon indirectly refused, inasmueh as he
ordered the ornaments to be continued nth the
greatest possible dispatch. Such conduct con-
confirms the Austrians in their suspicious that
he is resolved on going to war. They are now
considering whether it would not be better to-
take the initiatiue and attack Sardinia before
the French can take the field. A council of war,
at which the Emperor presided, sat till four
o'clock yesterday morning and at this council
the advisability of Immediately declaring war
was doubtless discussed.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times, in
his dispatch dated the eth, says that up to that
time Austria had done everything in its power
to obviate the necessity for an appeal to arms
but there was reason to believe she was about
to turn the tables on the mediatiug powers by
asking them to guarantee that no attack shall
be made on her by Sardinia and France while
the Congress is sitting; should they give the
required guarantee, the Congress may perhaps
meet, but not without.
The Prussians are astonished and frightened
and stand still waiting for things to turn up.
The probability is that If the Peace Con-
gress meets at all nothing Will be effected in
the way of negotiation.
In France preparations for war continues on
an extender SCALE
The 1lopiteur, publishes 8 decree ordering
the apportionnent of 100000 conscripts a.
mong the different departments This is the
whole of the contingent of the year. In ordl-
nary years $4,000, and IN some cases only 49,
900, have been called out.
It was reported that a French army of OBJ
servation, $4,000 strong, was to be concentra-
ted on the frontier of the Rhine; also that four
French and Scandinavian war steamers had
ness to blockade Trieste and Venice.
It. stated that a council of. the Marshals
was to meet at the Tuileries in few days, to
be presided over by the Emperor.
Among other unfounded runors was one
that the Austrian Ambassador in Paris had
received his passports. and that orders had been
given to the army of Lyons to move down to
the South.
The Memorial Diplon,atiqste, a journal which
had exhibited decided leaning towards q pa
cifc solution of the pending difficulty, had re-
ceived an intinlation that the publication must
be suspended for the present-that is, so long
as the crisis lasts. The demonstration against
an advocate of peace was regarded as very sig
nifcant.
The London Advertiser publishes a dispatch
from Berlin, to the effect that it was asserted
in competent military circles that by the first
of June, Louis Napoleon will have 100000
men ready to march, Of which 100000 are to
be used in Italy. The remainder being for
other eventna!ities.
It is said that the camp of Chalons will be
organized this year at an earlier period than
usual, and that the troops to be encamped are
more numerous than in any other year
LONDON, Wednesday, April 13, 1889.
The news received from Paris to-day is gen.
orally of pacific character, but the correspon-
dent of the Herald says that the warlke pre-
perations of France continue on most tre- !
mendous scale-troops pouring into Lyons from
north, south, east and west. The Patrie of
Tuesday evening contains an article of great
significance. That journal is considered as
the organ of the Emperor's private cabinet.
The Patrie speake of a last and supreme ef
fort which England and Prussia are making on
behalf of peace, referring to the proposition OF
Austria, that there should be general disar-
mament. The Patrie asserts that France is
still on peace footing: she has collected no
army on her frontier; she has not applied to the
Legislature for war credit, while Austria,
having increased her army in Italy from Co.
600 to 100000, might commence a campaign
tomorrow. The Patric concludes with threat
in the following words
If Austria means that general disarrna-
ment is to result in the maintenance of the
status quo ir Italy, and not of Feoolving the i'm
perious difficulties Of the present situation, At
must not be expected that France aoW be d,tpcd
BY such demand.
