the contest, and the Emperor is not the
man to shrink from fairly meeting them.
Speaking only of the present, we must
acknowledge that we do not see in The
acts of the French Government any sign
of that precip,tancy which the hopes of
OF some and the fears of others have
suggested as certain to characterize
his actions towards the Lclhgercuts.
RE has as yet done nothing to preclude
Tie parties to the war from availing
themselves Of his friendship to effect a
rapprochement. The conditions of peace
are still under discussion, and some mis-.
a"prchensions have been cleared away.
PtuSsla, 1t is now seen, is not fighting
tor he destruction Of Austria, but only
10 compel a recognition ofits plan of
rrco' shutting the German nation. TIA
ly is compelled to assert its claim to be
treated rs an independent power, posses.
sing the faculty of making alliances and
demanding recognition Austria fights
for honor. II is proper to belev" that
the policy Of the Emperor OF the French
is comprehensive enough to allow room
for the adjustment of these dispositions,
which he must have foreseen when he
proposed his mediation, aud at presnt
we pe,cslve no evidence to the contrary.
From the seat Of war we hear of the con.
tinued advance of the Prussians, whose
headquarters to-day are to be removed
to Brunn. The Austrians, who are
bringing together the remainder of their
former army of the north and reinforc.
ing it with corps from Venetia and other
provinces, appears to be forming front
extending from Brunr to Olmutz. The
centre and left of the Prussian army are
moving upon those cities, bnt their right
wing is moving by 1glau, which makes
it doubtful whether the Austrians can
remain on the line before mentioned,
where they would be in danger of hav.
ing their felt flank turned. From Italy
we learn that C,aldni has occupied
Rovigo without opposition. A French
journal states that he is advancing on
Padna; we have not yet heard, however,
that he had passed the Adigc. King
Victor Emanuel has been to Ferrara,
Cialdini's point of departure. The tele.
gram which represents him as having led
an army into the Tyrol is evidently
erroneous. The Bavarians have been
beaten by Prussian General Manteufiel'
near Kissengen. 1t is worth notice that
the contngents Of the smaller States of
North Germany are beginning to take
part in the war under Prussian com

IN England in private circles, but 1 do
