The aspect Of affairs in Europe is uuchanoe,
ana Il would be difficult to cay whether there

but opinions were divided ~ to his succesa. :

The political ferment 10 Germany increase
from day to day, and is said to be almost .
great - q the beginning OF 1873. The Wur
temoerg chamber had issu, strong address
representing that the armamen,s were made i,
france With view 0f establishing vassal state
Ior the Napoleon dynasty. Ibis is the view en-
ertained generally BY the German radicals
Unless the Emperor abandons his war proec,a

ingness to enter INTO arrangements with IN.
powers, with view to compass with The short.

territory. The Paris Patrie says, however, that
ne evacuation OF the Roman states is far from
oelng the main question on which peace or war
- to depend, that In fact it is only the com
'nencement Of y solution, aud will probably be
sterile 1t other interests were not satistacior,ly
settled.
IN France military preparations on the largest
scale are rapidly going forward. 1t is stated
that the accumulation Of military stores aud pro-
visions at Aarseilles is greater than at auy be-
riod during the Crimean war.
Mazzini. suspectihg the secret intentions of
the French Eupe.or, and openly declsr ng tnat
no sooner will he French troops oc,up, Sardin-
~ and Lombardy, than Napoieon's selfish end
ambitious plans would be unmasked, indjgnxnt.
iy rejects the proftered aid OF Napoleon to i,b.-
rate Italy, and In his usual passionate tone calls
on the Italians not to renOunce freedom and
unity-nOt to submit TO the sword OF Brennus-
not to conclude with ridiculous parody, a sub
lime epic Of sacrifice and devolion;" but to let the
war be war Of freedom against Austrla-a war
OF the people for the people-a war for Italy, |
not tor dynastic aggrandizement.
IN commercial circles the uneasiness caused |
by the immense preparations tor war was on the |
Increase, and it was feared that unless news de
ridedly favorable to peace transpired by the |
irst of April serious failures would occur.
Both at London and Paris a gloom overshad-
ows the money market, and funds have de-
,lIned.
