fue DTltlsn NHaincnt was oPtucu VI
the Sd Of February, by the Queen in person.
The Queens speech did not answer public
expectations, as to French designs in Italy,
or the meaning Of the Emperors overwhelm-
ing naval ornaments.
As this is the only theme which occupies
mems minds in Europe, the effect may be
conceived.
Consols relapsed. The Bourse exhibited
even more depression.
The inference from the non committal
language of the ministerial speeches in Par.
lament points to the intimate probability
Of war. Lord DERBY spoke of the great
dangers" that are evidently threatening, and
although he intimated that the Cabinet had
received assurances " that SO long as Austria
confines herself to her own limits Sardinia
must not expect from France any assistance
in an aggressive war his address had very
little effect in tranquilizing the apprehensions
OF his hearers. A concluding remark that
whatever might happen, England was not
committed to any course, but would find
her hands free TO take that which might
appear best, seemed to be the chief point for
consolation.
DIsRAKLI in the House. was even more
reserved. His speech was received as signal
for England to prepare for war. One straw
which is caught at, is the removal Of the
present pretext for war, by u reform in the
Roman States. But the English people are
bracing their minds for q contest. The
navy is to be remodelled, and il is rumored
that loan of $50 900 900 is to be proposed
for that purpose. Great activity prevails
in military departments. What is even
more significant, Sardinia is trying to raise
loan, though where she is to get it is a
problem. II is impossible to tell what side
England will take N the impending contest,
or what side, if any, she should take. On
the one hand, as Lord ID ERBY explicitly
pointed out, Austria holds her Italian pos.
sessions by Inheritance, and upon the faith
Of treaties, which the English nation is
pledged TO maintain inviolate; on the other
the sympathics OF the people are for Ssr.
DINA and reform. In no case it is certain.
could the nation be enlisted on the side oil
Austrian oppression.
Ia France great fears are felt as TO the
course OF England in the event Of q war.
France is evidently preparing for the crisis.
The whole CONSUMPTION Of 1858, able to be
called out, is, with volunteers, $4,000, OF
withdrawing 100000 for an internal
poice-the Emperor could throw 100000
beyond his frontier. To this add $4,000
Piedmontese-the whole Sandman army
and We have q fighting force that might
give the Austrisns trouble. The Austrian
army is perhaps 100000 or 100000 men
more. Add to this that it, notifications in
Lonbsrdy make it impregnable in Italy,
and there is no chance left but the entrance
at Venice. II is. in TACT, recognized in
France that Venice Is the vulnerable point
aud that the first work must be done by a
navy.
A report has reached Paris which mast
increase the war panic. 1t is stated that

one OF two things is certain, Austria must
fight or corcede.
