LONDON, April S.-We are now in the
fourth month of the political uncertainties,
aroused at the commencement of the year,
and there is still Il total abstinence OF any
thing TO mitigate them. Ii is believed. how
ever, that before April is out, the world
will be fully enlightened.
The accounts from Pari, and Vienna are
daily more and more threatening. Through
out France the preparations are such As To
warrant an expectation that AT any moment
a telegram might tell us of war having COM
menred. In Austria, Indignation at the
duplicity which is assumed 10 be the char
acteristic of the Emperor Napoleon, is rals-
Ing the German blood to fever heat. The
Pope and the King Of Naples seem 10 be
equally convinced that treachery is at hand,
and hing Victor Emmanuel and Count Ca
vour are evidently seeking 10 represent
themselves as the rulers of the storm.
II Their. is no movement it is apparently
because all parties are prepared [" move.
Each is simply waiting for the one VIII" will
take the responsibility of the first blow.
