The events of the "a. week increase tho proea-
bilties Of war in the sprh g. We now know ~
Lord John Rmsells dcrA ration 10 farnamoa''
that England AID France are ready 70 fecesnHo
the annexation Of Genital Esa, to Sardinia pro
yded it is the wish of the rs7oh cd provinces to DO
expressed by new elections, an tnaI .oese s"o
powers implicitly guarantee vene va 70 Austna,
che consents TO the annexation. ". 'nout enserlns
into the now idle question whether "a IN guaranty
ia practicable or not, we can state tha' FRANCIS
Joseph has protested against Ties PROPOSE
tiODs; that he is unwilling to apYzov VI quo
annexation ard that he feels strong opoosn
to keep his own. This sounds warfke eEou. M Du'
we have still stronger argument FOR believing ~ on
impendipg Italian war, viz the sudden eban &c :"
the Austrian policy toward the Protestanfs IN on
gary. Their deputatiOn was nsufed IN tne ZOO
days Of January By the Minister Count heeheel :,
but on the LIST of February the two Chairmes OF q
Protestants, the Barons Nicholas Way aud Gabrls l
PrOnay were invited to audience OF tho EN-
perOr who expressed bis wish to settle their difficult
ties and remove the grievances. The two Barons
put themselves accordingly into communication With
the Austrian Ministers, and hit upon plan which
would remove the greatest difficulty, by ignoring
the new territorial division into twelve instead Of
eight Superntendences, and constituting the synod
by elections from the Seniorates instead Of the old
mode by elections from the Districts. All the other
points of debate were to be lett to the decision OF
the Synod thus organized as for instance, the de
gree of the publicity at the meetings, the posi-
tion of the SuperiDtendents, the relation Of the
schools TO the Ministry of Public Worship and
the confirmation of the clergmen and in
spectors by the political authorities. Thus. tho
Austrian Ministry has waived the most Important
r. oIo... n na1 hvf
Crown against the PrOtestants, though wishing
to avoid the humiliation Of openly retracting the
obnoxious decree for the organization OF the
Churches. OF course they try to concillate the
Hungarans on the eve of new war, but the
Protestant Conference at Pesth is not so easily
managed as a body of politicians, and therefore the
plan of Cancellation cOncOcted at Vienna was not'at
once accepted without further remark On the
contrary Baron Way was sent back to Viennalto
announce to the Ministry that the Professionals
were willing to accept the proposed measure, but
only under the condition that the eight Districts
should meet once more in order TO sanction this
pedent, fill the vacant Superintendencies and In
spectorshps and to define the mode of election Of
members Of the Synod. So far as We hear by pri-
yate telegraphc dispatches, the Ministers at Vienna
are provoked at this new demand and are net very
willing to grant it, unless the political pressure in
Italy should become stronger. The reign of terror
is established in Venetia; hundreds of suspected
citizens are imprisoned without legal form or trial.
and conveyed in letters 10 the fOrresses Of Bohemia
and Morayia. We hear, on the other hand, that the
troops are demOraized; that there are quarrels be-
tween the Hungarian aud Austrian soldiers, and
that the CIoats declare they will not fight any enemy
ont oftheir own country; that is to say, Croatia.
The impending annexation of Savoy and Nice ex-
eites the wrath of The London Times, and of the
arstOcracy in England. The annexatOnists Of
Dude and Scinde find it outrageous that France
should initiate their example ON much smaller
scale. As to the bulk of the English nation they
do not for Savoy. but are most anxious to hear
Mr.. Gladst0ne's financial statement tonight.
The capture of Tetuan by the Spaniards will
probably soon be followed by peace with Morocco,
at any rate, we have the declaration of O'Donnell,
now Duke OF Tetuan that he will not follow up the
Moors into the interior of the country.
Plus TX. speaks of revenge aud Of prayer; and
the King of Naples is ready to send his troops across
the frontier to support the Pope.
