THE NEWS FROM EUROPE.

We think there can be no longer reasonable
doubt that Western Europe will require very
large amount of food from us throughout the nine
months ensuing, and will BE- obliged to pay fair
prices for it. The cold rains still continued down
TO the path ult., and babe fair to continue, while
tie grain harvest, both in Great Britain and
France were certain to be very late and the grain
in had condition. The surplus in our great grain
growing districts is undoubtedly large-urprece-
dentedly so-but the South and Southwest have
suffered fearfully from drouth, and will need Food
of all kinds, so that the movement of Grain next
Winter on the Illinois Central will not be wholly
toward Chicago. The European and the South
Western demand together will suffice to exhaust
the heavy surplus OF the Northwest 80 that fair
prices may be expected to rule at least till another
harve.t We do not rejoice over the failure of the
European crops; but We do rejoice that the long
suffering, almost respondent North West is to have
fresh e1empiGcation Of the truth of the old pro-
verb, that /" 1t is an i'll wind that blows no one
"good."
That great European War is looming on the
horizon Of the Future, can hardly be doubted.
The newborn accord between the two great Ger.
man powers, after years of jealousy that only
stopped short of actual hostility, has papable ref
erence to the trying ordeal which is felt to be ap
preaching. France yearns for the boundary of the
Rhine-at least her military aud other Napoleon
lists do--and that boundary can only be regained,
as it was won and then lost, by war. Italy would
be free and united; but Austria the Pope and the
King Of Naples Obstruct the attainment of this
eDd. The King of Naples is evidently about to
vanish; the Pope may or may not follow in his
footsteps; but Austria, strong in her vel drilled
lgions, her frowning fortresses, is not so easily
disposed Of If the fall of Naples does not call her
TO arms, the first demonstration of Garibsldi
against the States of the Church certainly will:
and then comes war with Upper Italy, probably
with France also. Only dear bread in France and
Government bankruptcy in Austria seem likely to
prevent this collision; and such obstacles have
rarely proved insuperable when the passions of
rulers, the aspirations of the military caste, coun
seled war. If Louis Napoleon live year longer,
q great war is all but inevitable.
