Continental news continues warlike.
THE indications that war will soon break
out are increasing. The entry of the Prus-
SLAMS into Holstein is regarded by some as
a virtual commencement Of the war. 1t is
asserted that Austria regards such entry rs
a breach Of the Gastien Convention, and the
forciblo occupation of IIolstoin as a causus
belli.
The Duke de Grammont had gone from
Paris 10 Vienna, and his mission il said to
be last effort for Cancellation. He had
conference with Count Mensdorff and an
audience with the Emperor OF Austria.
MensdorT is stated to have positively main
tanned the Austrian reply to the invitation
TO the conference.
The Russian Cabinet courier reached
Vienna on the 7lh with an autograph letter
from the Car TO the Emperor.
Bismarck Las issued an important dis
patch TO the Prussian representatives
abroad in very bitter terms towards Aus
tria, and in one passage says:
Z" All our information agrees that the de-
termination to mako war is settled in
Vienna. On the other hand it is asserted
that Prussia has been most cOnciliatory for
peace, but the corresponding feeling no
longer exists at Vienna. Not only was there
manifested an entire absence of all readi-
ness To enter into confidential negotiations
and discuss the possibilities of an agree
ment, but the expressions of the influential
Austrian statesmen and counsellors of the
Emperor have been reported to the King
from an authentic source, and leave no
doubt that the Imperial Minister desires
war at any price; partly in hope of sue
eesses in the field and partly to tide over
domestic difficulties, nay even with the
expressed intention of assisting Austrian
finances by Prussian contributions or by
honorable bankruptcy We can only see
decided intention on the part of Austria
forcing war with Prussia, and Of at most
making use of the negotiations as to a
Congress to gain time by proerastinatiOn
for her own arrangements are not entirely
completely, but especially for those of her
allies. The fact of war is a settled deter
mination at Vienna. The further point is
to choose the favorable time to begin.
Referring to the Duchies Bismarck says
Perhaps We shall at least be believed when
we sOlemnly protest against any nation
wishing to make good our claim to the
Duchies by force of disregard to the rights
of the co-possessor. Now, too, probably, it
will not lie difficult to understand the real
motives of the armaments by which Austria
has given rise to the present crisis, and of
whose removal by means of the Congress
she has taken care TO render impossible by
the attitude she has assumed"
The circular is dated June 4th.
The London Times says that such dis
patch as the above has not often been penned
by European Minister. The almost fanat-
ieal purposes which have been necessarily
repressed during the long negotiations,
breaks forth when negotiations may be con-
sidered at an end. The dispatch breathes
the spirit Of war, and seems to have been
written IN anticipation OF an immediate
rupture
The Lsndon Telegraph says that the last
hope Of peace has disappeared and that war
becomes inevitable.
A Vienna dispatch says that the diplo-
matte relations between Austria. and Prus-
sia will cease the moment that the Prussfan I
representatives at the Diet leave Frankfort
Austria has telegraphed to General Goblenz
to avoid an armed conflict in Holstein. It
is stated that should collision take place
the Austrian army Of the North will ad-
vance against Prussia. afTie aEf
