Th0se who have persuaded themselves into the
belief, not merely thu, the war in Italy may become
general Edropesn war; but that II must necessarily
become 30, give multitude of reasOns why tae

these viii be found ON inspection to reduce

We must Lot forget here that the orgina. plans OF
Louis Napoleon have already experienced material

The main question is simply this: Is it for the in
terest OF Louis Napoleon TO carry on the war to the
full demolition of Austria We think not. Hal he an
idea Of sppYopIatng a comfortable piece Of Germany
on the Rhiae to balance the Austrian Provinces which
would tall into the lap of Russia, that would alter the
case. But Prussia and Germ any would preveat that
