The War Question i'm Europe.

The Paris correspondent of the Herald saw
il is not believed in official circles that any
diplomatic issues of the preset crisis is prob
able. There is not the slightest ground fol
suppoSing that the Cabinet has altered its
views or that the Emperor is not determined
to take his stand on the plan of Italian reform
put forward in the recent pamphlet. 1t is

good Offices of the British endeavoring to

that any of the warlikc preparations in

engagements for camp OF 100000 men at
Toulon are still proceeding. The diplomatic
phase of the crisis may, il is conjectured, last

The Paris correspondent of the Daily News
says il Is quite plain that neither the Sar-
dinans nor the people of Lombardy care a
straw about reforms at Rome or Naples.
What they have been taught to expect in
roy al speeches and imperial pamphlets is that
Austria shall be driven out Of Italy alto
