THE IMPENDING WARM GERMANY.
Tue two great German Powers arc more
than ever persuading the rest OF Europe that
war is soon to break out between them. Thus
far, however, 1t looks as though one was
afraid aud the other dhrc not People are |
flattering themselves That nothing Will come i
of nll tltis vaporing aud freezing, and they |
take pleasure in reminding us that Austrfa i
has no money whcrewith to dcffay the cx |
l,tnscs Of a WAR, and that Prussia's army is 4
too islconsiderabic for aggressive operations |
unless she call out the Landwchr- When this |
step il takcn, sic will have m army In the |
field Of about GA QUO men OF which force
1A, GOO would bc required for garrison duty |
1eA 900 for dspots and the reserve, leaving !
st, COO mcu for actlvc service. But. say
these opsinlsts, Bismarck and tho King will |
not aare to call out the Landwehr, for rca
sons Of personal sasety. The Landwchr is
strongly on ihc side OF the Parliament, and
they might possibly, not TO say probably,
make short work Of the man and Ills master
WHO, hut lately, made such short work Of the
T n,rfr 1n7ftrn- For t1nff 4iSfr-
clincl to admit the validity Of the objections.
Austria will always be able to obtain ample
funds III the event Of war with Prusssia,
especially as the sympathles Of Europe arc
with her In this contest !; ard the irrcpyess.
iblc Bismarck has merely to evoke the
the national desire for military glory to turn
the tables upon his home adyersarics. Will
he succeed in doing this rematus 10 bc seen;
il lc do not, war Is next 10 IN impossihlliiy.
VIC learn, mconwh1lc, from the Frussian pa
pcrs, that the fortrrsscs Of G1atz, Cosel,
Ncissc, Forgun, Wittcnbure, Spaudan aud
Magdrburg arc to be armcd aud rroyisloncl
Immediately, whilst the reserve Of the four
new regiments OF the guard and the infantry
regiments Of the Fifth, Seventh and Ninth
Army Corps arc also to be called out. On
hcl side, Austria is by 20 means slothfnl in
her preparations. The French papers inform
us that Everything Is being organized with
q view 10 tho evcntualitics OF war, and the
commandcrs-In-chicf have nlready been ar
pointed" The Archaukc Albert, we learn,
Is TO command in Venctia, General Dcucdck
the Army Of the North, and Won Gob1cnz the
vanguard OF the litter. Austria, at the
present time, has not more than 230,0 900
men actually under arms, hut she possesses
/ reserve Of $4,000 which may be called
into active service Immediately. The Credit
Anstalt has entered INTO extensive contracts
| with The Empcrur's Government for the sup
ply Of grain TO the army ard In yicw Of the
present cloudy state Of the political horizon.
the Anstalt Company Is 10 become bureau
of thu War Department, the head OF the war
branch being appointed by the Ministry.
These different facts look remarkably be,li,
cosc; but il is fair to anticipate a continuance
Of peace until hostilitics arc actually declared
Maybe, the visit Of the Duke Of Coburc tc
Vienna may arrange the difficulties between
the two countries, That Prince arrived Ia tht
Austrian capital m Monday evening last, ane
il Is announced that LIE has already proposed
a basis OF reconciliation. What the basis Il
NC nrc mot ret Informed but he will PROV,
an ADLER diplomaiist than lie has W, show,
himself If he can persuade Bismarck and hi
master 10 give up their idea Of German unit,
on the bas1. of Pr,1s sian Sovereignty,
