PrOgrtss Of Ihe War in Europe.


The latest accounts from Europe repre-
sent Denmark as unwilling to join in tn,
proposed Conference. The Federal Diet o.
Germany seems to be equally opposed t,
the scheme, and it is therefore likely that
the Conference viii be put Of, and the Wal

termination. The Danes can easily defend
themselves on the Islands, and thev can
afford to wait for new complications which
time will be almost sure to bring, and
which can hardly fail to improve their
chances.
1t is the prospect Of these complications.

keeps up feverish excitement all through
Europe. In England the Tories are ma
neuvering with great energy and, as it
seems, with considerable skill sgsinst the
coneiliatory and compromising policy of
the Ministry, and are trying their best to
create g war feeling.
Austria and Prussia endesvor In kaan

ernments have taken occasion to renew
their assurance that they are still willing
to recognise King Christian TX. as Duke
SchlesWig snd Holstein, II Denmark is
willing to give them the demanded guar

ministration Of the Duchies. The Emperor
Of Austria, in reply to an address from

peace Of Europe" We think il NAV be
regarded IS certain that both Governments
are determined to carry through their
plan, so long as they feel able to prevent
q general European war.
What kind Of guaranty the two Powers
will demand from Denmark has not vet
been officially stated. That it includes 8
closer Union between at least the German
districts Of SchlesWig and Holstein, and
the establishment Of merely personal
union between the Ducbiss and Denmark
seems to be certein. But according to
some papers, Austria is also proposing TO
divide SchlesWig, unite the purely German
districts with Holstein aud the purely
Danish with Denmark, and let the mixed
districts declare their preference by means
Of general suffrage.
1t is fortunate for Austria and Prussia
that there Is not, at present, among the

point for the National Union movement, |
and ths! among the progressive party Of |
Germany there has not yet appeared a |
Garibaldi always ready to place himself at |
the head Of party action. The Legisls- |
lures Of the States and the numerous
meetings which are held in sll parts of |
the country, show a unanimity which even /
exceeds that Of the Italians in the year
1858, and it seems to be certain that the
majority Of The people would not even
shrink from an open war against the Gov
