The News by the Arabia-Is Europe on
the Verge of u General War.

The news from Europe, received last night
by the Nova Scotian and Arabia, is the most
important that has occurred since the peace of
Yillafranca.
The Italian question has suddenly assumed
a new phase, and the Conference at Zurich has
been suspended, after having agreed upon the
boundaries OF Lombardy. A rumor existed
that another meeting of the Emperors of France
and Austria would soon take place; and it had
been stated that England has proposed to
France that European Congress to settle
Italian affairs should be called on the preli-
mnary basis that the Dukes should not be re-
stored by force Of arms. The Moniteu has
Villairanca and the Italian complication
which has been the subject of generally adverse
comment by the British press, and had caused
a very perceptibe decline in public securities,
both in London and Paris. From the synopsis
of the article in the Moniteur which has come
by the telegraph, we do not feel at all assured
that the British press have read it rightly.
It opens with the admission that, in compen-
sation for certain ameliorations in Venetia,
Austria had exacted at Vilafranca the condi-
ton that the Italian Dukes should be returned
This, it is directly stated, will not be done by
force; and as the people refuse to admit them
by persuasion, this portion Of the treaty must
fall to the ground, and Austria be free to do as
she likes with the venetians. The opinion pre-
walls that a rash and immoderate course on the
part of the Italian league would lead to hope
less instruction, the result of which might be
general war. The article then goes on TO
warn the Italians that concessions are not to be
expected from the great Powers without equi-
table compensation, and that they must remem-
Der that France only makes war for an idea,
and that she has fulfilled her mission It would
seem from this that the Italians are warned not
to persist in exaggerated demands, and that
the boon of peace to Europe is the equitable
compensation" that is to be given to the great
Powers in return for the newly created nation
ality of Italy.
The official announcement that, n0twith-
standing the stipulations at Villafranca,
he Dukes would not be returned by
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-09-22

force, agrees with the statement to the
like effect made by Lord John Russell some
time since in Parliament and shows that France
and England hold the same position on that
portion of the Italian question. A deputation
from the Duches had offered the united crown
to Victor Emanuel, who replied that he would
give t EN- reply after the conclusion of the
