Correspondence of the London Times.
PARIS, Monday, October o.
The same uneasy feeling which pervaded
every class Of society toward the close of the
year which preceded the Italian war, and
which was SO abruptly expressed in the Empe-
roi's address to the Austrian ambassador
during the celebrated leUee of New Years Day,
is now again discernible. That feeling may be
exaggerated, but you meet with few people in
society who do not declare their conviction that
the peace of Europe will, before long, be again
put in peril. We hear rumors of propositions
being made to Austria for the settlement Of
some difficult and long standing questions in
which she has deep interest. Whether these
propositions refer 10 Herzegovina or to Venetia,
they are described as not admissible Just as II

Piedmont TO look we'll to her military Orgaui
zatiOn, is felt like the shadow of coming events.
When peoples minds are in this state, any in
cident sufices to disturb them. To. morrow
or next day another anonymous pamphlet will
appear, which occasions thousand conjectures.
It is called L'AngleterTe, L'AUtriche, et les Ea-
