The prulent year does not prom
isc 90 bc one OF peace, ON the other
side OF the Atlantic, 'ibe London
Times consurs in the popelar ap-
prchcnsiOn of n general war in Eu,
rope, The,apprehension Is express
ed that all will depend on the poll
cy OF Austria. France is seriously
preparing for il, and the Times
seems to think that war may even
prcccde the declaration Oi'it, as the
parties suspect each other of taking
advantage of time, Austria has
conferred an army of 200, 900 men in
the vicinity OF the Quadrilateral,
aud General Bencdck hopes that he
can ovcrrun Italy, keep the discon'
tented Hungarians in subjugation,
and successfully oppose the troops
OF the Emperor Napoleon when they
appear in tho field, Austria is said
TO be determined TO invade Italy
and brave the lcgions of France,
with the all but absolute certainty
that the Hungarians, who have been
broodingo over their wrongs for years
past, will fly to arms, and declare
their independence of the House Of
liapsburg; and the Times says:
II the rumorcd policy is to bc NC.
ted on, the annihilation of Austria,
us q first class power, is u work Of
certainty. She has not recovered
from the blow which Louis NayoIc.
on inflicted on her two years ago,
and another series of rcvcrscs would
complete her fate. Russia, which
has lately shown n disposition to be
both liberal and conciliatoyy, has
just lost, by the brutal conduct Of
its representatives in Warsaw, all
the sympathies, which she gained
by her previous policy. TO shoot
down and murder, in cold blood, an
unarmed multitude, who were gull
ty of no greater offence than pre-
scnting themselves in sable habili-
mcnts before the castle, savours so
much of the policy Of the late Mich
olas, that the praises for wisdom
and enlightenment bestowed on his
successor have been premature
Thcyoung Car is evidently his faith
cr's son, and has already determined
to throw to the winds all the mo-
raj advantages he has secured in
the eyes of Europe, by prudence
and Judgment with which he had
managed the emancipation of the
scrfs. The first slaughter ut War
saw was disowncd by the Govern
mcnt, but this last and more afro
cious affair, in which more than
one hundred people were struck
down and slaughtered in the pub
lie square, has sent a shock through
Europe which cannot fail to stir up
the revolutionary blood that only
required an impulse like this to fire
| it.
One of the Paris papers declares
that Russia is cripple and Austria
paralysed, and it might have add
cd that the paralysis of Austria has
been caused mainly by that course
of governing her various national
tiles by brute force of which the
new Car has now shown his fond
ness. Alexander the Second, in
thus acting, has laid the foundation
of trouble in his empire the end of
which no man can forcsec. "A lit
tie prudence would have saved him
world of misery and humiliation
in the future, but he has chosen his
path, and must abide the consc-
qucnccs.
While these events are passing in
Northern and Central Europe, the
East is shaken by the belief that
the countries abutting upon the
Lower Danube will make an effort
to shake off their allegiance to the
Porte, and the old quarrel between
Prussia and Denmark, arising out
of the question of the Duchics,
seems likely to be solved by the So
luton of the sword. Add to this
that Garibaldi is i'll at Turin, and
the Pope dying at Rome, and we
have in these complications enough
to catsc alarm and anxiety about
the future. The part which France
may play in the prcscntcxcltcd % state
of Europe has yet to be developed:
All will depend upon the action OF
Austria. Louis Napoleon is bound
in houor To protect his protcG,, me
tho Hing oflraly, and il the train
is once fred in that quarter there
is no telling how lar itmay extend
or how long il may rage.
