TIE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN EUROPE-AN0-
TIER WAR CLOUD


The European intelligence by the {. Of Baltimore,
published Saturday is Of an important character.
war cloud appears the European horizon which, though
perhaps as yet but OF the size Of uans hand, may
prove to BE- the ha bnger Of fierce and destructive
Storm The New York Commercial, in a review of this
news, says:
IL Is reported that General Iamoricere, the French
commander of the Papa troops has declared that il Ga
rbadi lands in Naples he will the frontier with the
Papal legion and defend the throne of King Francis
The gravity Of this report rests in the fact that Lamo
rcieres declaration s said to have been accompanied by
the announcement that in adopting that be would
have the support of Austria Other rumors ncreass the
impression that trouble brewing the continent
large scale 1t is affirmed that Austria alarmed at Carl
badis threat of invading Venea, has demanded expa-
uaons from Piedmont the subject is exhibiting great
activity in her marine department, aud has ntmaed her
purpose of renouncing her obligations of nonnterven-
tim imposed by the treaty Of VillafTanca.
This last report will OF be received with doubt
Should il prove true the ground which Austria will take
dobtess will be that Garibaldis threatened invasion OF
Venetia and his actual Invasion Of Naples with the moral

and the acquiessence Of the Emperor Of France, u
violation OF the spirit IL not Of the letter. o. that treaty.
Putug aside, however, all mere reports the aspect OF
the whole matter is threatening, and may culmnate in
involving other powers in the complication.
IL seems indubiiable that G,ribald flushed with his
past successes aud especially with his easy and complete
triumph in Sicily has fully determined similar cam

morally certain there can be little doubt, think that

could bring against him.
How could such provision be madeg FRS, but only
partially by fostering revolution in Hungary, so as to
divide the Austrian army. Secondly, by procuring the
cooperation the Italian States already made free by
revolution. In other words, by the cooperation con-

We have ALREADY expressed the conviction that this lta

il seems AS though the great struggle is approaching by
which that solution is TO be reached. Austria sees
that the freedom Of all Italy, including Of course Vene
