In the present state of affairs becomes the duty OF
every people possessed Of influence abroad to act with
circumspecton hrmness and dignity. Europe suffering

TO throw the swsrd into the balance at every diplomatic

people, and no one living pretend to foresee the con-
sequences For the present the efforts Of the Emperor

AS far judge, the question whether this war
shall become general rests al present principally with tue
Prce Regent OF Prussia ami his advisers To the Court
of Berlin has been conded ut its request, the dita
tive 10 all measures for securing the safety and honor OF
Germany. The decision OF the Regent will probably be
respected, and in spite of the agitation which prevails
throughout the country no rash act Will involve the Con
federation in a war with France We say that this will
probably be the ultimate result but certainly at present
he spirit has risen TO such height that no one eau

With respect to the question must admit that
the minor German staes likely to give much trouble
10 Prussia and that the French Emperor not find
himself in quarrel with them it will be solely through
the exerons Of the Court Of Berlin 1t is rather difficult
to penetrate the Teutonic mind sufficiently to ascertain

In the cond uct Of these we need not say we have no
