The Gathering Of the War Cloud in Europe.
2 Orr own sad condition, engaged in n civil
war, OF which no man can predict the result,
has led the people of this country to overlook
the progress OF affairs In Europe from whence
the mutterings OF dreadful contest, soon TO
commence, come TO us by every arrival. The
Paris correspondent OF the Boston Traveller
writes, under date of the 18th inst as fol-
lows:
Whether 1t be the LIST of April which casts
its ludicrous shadow upoD us, or that we feel
the quiverngs which forernn the ear tho uake,
certain il is the political atmosphere was
never more sgitated than IL is now by all
manner of alarming rumors; some long faces
vow Russia and France entered into Il secret
treaty for the partition or Inrkev-a poor
country, which is certainly in a most deplor-
able condition--on the 18th of March last
other faces. no ways shorter, whisper myste-
rionsiy OF negotiations between Russia, Aus
tffa, Italy and France for the dismem berment
OF Turkey, for the extension OF French terri
tory To the Rhine, for the destruction of Bel
GUM, for the CELEBRATION of all the minor
powers of Germany under Prussia to whom
Austria would concede It's German provinces
and surrender its Italian provinces TO Italy
receiving in exchange the Roumain and Sciaye
Provinces on the Lower Danube, which con-
soiidated with Hungary, Bohemia, &c, would
make IL powerful and united Sclayonic
Power of the first magnitude, while Prussia
rewarded by Holland. the Hanseatic towns
all the minor Kingdoms, principalities and
powers Of Germany, would relinquish its
Polish provinces Russia rewarded by Greece
and Constantinoplc, would initiate Prus sia's
example, and the Kingdom of Poland would
be reconstructed.
England would be driven from the Mediter-
raaean, and the Continent would attempt to
ruin her. fou may res. assured soIae such

brtHg into ptny against England. Mons.
dores, the poor bankers arrest, was chiefly
due TO his active exertions TO sustain Turkey,
ana thereby courteract these designs. French
men here insist that Austria Is, or soon will be,
obliged 10 make its election between bein. the
monarch of German dynasty in an Empire
where the Germans are in a minority, or the
monarch of Sclavonic dynasty we'll consoli-
dated and consequently powerful. 1t is
serted here upon excellent authority that the
French Ambassador Il Vienna has offered to
the Austrian Government to surrender Fene-
tin 10 fittore ETlmanuele and gain Il close al
lance with Italy and France against the Hun
garians and other discOn tented provincials
within its borders, together with territory on
The Adriatic and the Lover Danube. Rumors
of changes in the Cabinet are still current,
nobody believes what the Moniteur says:)
tho most accredited place Mons. Baroche as
Minister Of the Interior, Mons Rouher taking
i!s places az Minister withOu a portfolio and
President Of the Council of State; while
Mons de Persigny becomes Minister OF For
eign Affairs ii place of Mons. Thouyenel,
sent To Constantinople or to st. Petersburg,
while Mons Fould becomes Minister of FL
nance and negotiates the loan OF $500 100000
or $500, 600 900.
Bat the war rumors are most numerous,
and if they are To be believed, Marshal Me- |
mahnn has been summoned 10 Paris by tele- |
graph, and has had long conference with |
Louis Napoleon There has been a long coun- |
ell at which all the inarshals were present at |
the Tuiieres. The Lyons camp is to receive |
reinforcenents. The Cabinet of Turin had |
requested Louis Napoleon to send Il garrison |
atTouion, and are Immediately to be sen to the |
Syrian coast. The reason Louis Napoleon |
removed the ashes of Napoleon early in April,
instead of waiting for the 9TH of May, is, he
knows that by the 5th of May all his time and
attention Will be absorbed by the gravest
cares. Every body in Paris believes war at
hand-ineyitabie-and this great European
war. The last lcttera received from Rome
represent the Pope con templating IA depar-
ture from the Eternal City. He has already
sent his most valuable pontifical ornaments, |
relies, and the costly presents made him by
soyeregns carefully packed in boxes, TO Spain
The Cardinals ara expecting to be forced 10 a |
general Hight; French bishop has received a
letter from a cardinal. in which the latter
says " The situation OF affairs grows worse
daily, and l foresee new mis- fortunes which
will force us 10 leave Rome; perhaps shall
he glad 10 Ind with YOU refuge from the |
tempest. Several OF the cardinals think of
retiring to the south of France or to Nice for
rs that town no longer belongs to Piedmont, |
we may reside there with something like secu-
rifv."
Tho French Government makes It's soldiers
take long marches every day, and they carry
WIN them several days provisions: this il 10
luure them 10 wars atigues. 1t is said Louis
Napoleon has invented IA new inIsket, which |
will carry bail three thousand yards and
pierce the thckast Obstacles; its barrel is said
to Do very snort and the stock very thick -
Russia Is said to be endeavoring TO secure n
basis OF operations against English India, at
SaDarkand. Ions Napoleon has written n |
severe letter to Prince Murat touching the
iattcrs obstinate pretensions to the Neapoli-
tan throne. Louis Napoleon WARNS him that
II he persists there will be- rupture between
Them. The French Minister of Public Works
was not present at the recent opening of the
bridge across the Rhine at kehi; n sign of
war, for 1t was Louis Napoleon vino forbade
ms appearance; and contrary to all usage no
decorations were distributed to the German
engineers The French Government has is
sued s6O,0eo,0oO OF treasury bonds; it's floating
debt is now the least $500 900 900. II is said
. 400 Savoyards have elected to remain Ital-
ians, notwlths landing the annexation OF Savoy
TO France.
There Is petty quarrel between the cleo
tor or Hesse and Louis Napoleon, which
shows the tendency of the present French
Government to keep alive disputes. The
representative of Hesse has been
appointed to another post, but he cannot OBJ
tain an audience of leave, because Louis Ma
poleon refuses TO receive the letters Of recall
unless the elector OF Hesse signs the letter of
recall ~ our servant" which the latter prop
trIy refuses. German newspapers engage
Hesse to recall its represer tatiye without tie
formality of an audience of leave. They con-
Tess IL VIII be diplomatic rupture, but they
say that in the present confusion which reigns
In Europe, this Will produce no disagreeable
ronseq uences.
