THE EUROPEAN Coarr LcArroSs.--W L'ave three
days later news from Europe The situation has
not materially changed Stall it is asserteG that
England win send feet to German watevs,
and that she is determined to preserve the in
tegrity Of Denmark AS regards the feet. the
same announcement was made some weeks
s'uce and proved uufounded this may be the
case at present. although il " evident that
England must take some decided stand il she
wishes to preserve her own influence as well
as the existence Of Denmark Austria and
RUSSIA seem TO understand the uawiIlngEess
o. England TO act OVERLY in this matter, aad
they are doubtless embolccned from that very
fact The Emperor Napoleon has NO conf
dence, ii is said in the proposed conference at
London. and hepce he gives that plan but
cold support Still France, like Denmark, has
accepted Engtand's suggestions TO that eject
Austria snd Prussia. az VIC announced before,
viso that the fghtiag shall coasnue This
renders acceptance a bitter pleassasry on their
part.
The fact is the Germen Powers are pushed
into this war by their fears Of that revolution
airy spirit which pervades all Germany The
King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria
hope that this sveck of war may divert the
minds of the people and give rise to questions
which shall stife the revolutionary fever The
probability is thas, on the contrary, it will but
hasten the catastrophe so much dreaded by the
rulers and 50 ardcnty awaited by the people.
Throughout all Europe this desire for reform,
this spirit of revolution, is rife. II meets with
different obstacles; but the purpose. the end 10

same In Italy, where the movement was
begun successfully, the motives Of the people
are fully apparent They desire Rome aud
Venetia and will have them In Germany tho
desires OF the masses are as yet crude, IN.
formed; but the eaven is there; and such af-
fairs as this Holstein war will but hasten the
solution.
Ia France the revolutionary spirit is fast
gaining grouud-so much 80 az to cause Ma
poleon the greatest uneasiness. To- frighteu it
he gets up mock assassination schemes and en-.
deavors to divert the minds of his people by
foreign wars aud interference in the affairs of
other nations Hence we hear much said at
present about a concerted recognition of the
Davis government by France and England
Pho trick is too3e; it will not succeed, and
Napoleon winssbtless find that he must
abandon this ssKeal as tho Mexican scheme
and foster European war if no desires to
retain his power. These are the considerations
which render probable a general struggle in
Europe The great Powers dreadithe revolu-
tionary spirit now rife throughout their do
minions, and, - a counter irritant, they will
60 to war with each other. This mag for a
period stay the cause Of progress and siviliza-
tion-the cause Of the people-but not long.
The increasing intelligence OF the masses must
soon defeat the intrgues Of their would-be
rulers, and, 40 natural result. beneficial
change will ensue, Still that change will
doubtless deluge Europe with blood This
war in Holstein is, we fear, but the beginning
of the great and final conflict
