that the ArstriAps have $780, 900 men 10 Italy; the
different italian States, 2i2,0cs The Italian pop
ujation Plumbers 26 900 900. In q war with Sars
DINA, Austria could besiu with $4,000 troops in
her favor, but they wonId be surrounded by hos
tile population. The faances Of Austria do not
encourage the idea of war. Her deficit in 1855 was
CAS- ooo in 1857 to $l7 900 900. France, though
In better position financially, is not so prospe-
rous - TO desire war. Most Of the public JurDals
deprecate any interruption of the present pac fc
relations II is stated that the projects whose po-
sttion renders them too apt to echo whatever may
seem the desire of the chief of the State, by whose
grace they live and nsys and have their being,
have one and all made returns to the central go
vernment oonfrmatory Of the opinions expressed
10 public journals. One project Is said to have
written that he knew but one cause that would
rouse 10 France a tax bearing spirit Of war, and
that was quarrel with England. The bitterness
Of hatred TO our hereditary enemies, he is said &c
