nous Speech of Napoleon.

From the New York Herald 23i ult.
The speck Of war which few weeks
ago arose from the paItry German quarrel
over the Danish duchies has grown into a
heavy and portentous cloud overshadow
ing the whole European Continent. From
the Bay Of l}iscay 10 tie Black Sea there
is general mastering Of the nations for
war. The news by the Cuba is positively
startling. Thus it appears that the
whole prussian army, in great bodies Of
troops, IS massed along The frontiers y
that "Austria is bringing into the field
every man she can raise. and the whole
nation is painting for war;" that Italy is
all abaze with her preparations for battle !;
that all The German States are aiming a:
that rumors were prevalent at Vienna that
Russia had caught the contagion and was
preparing for hand in the expect ed
struggle. and that even the SULTAN had
taken the alarm, and that the army Of
Turkey was 10 be raised 10 is fall
strength.
There appeared to be no hopes OF a
European Congress, and no signs Of med
ia,ion. On the contrary, Napoleon had
made " significant speech at Auxerre, in
which he said he delested the treaties Of
1Sl5'-the treaties under which France
was bumiiated and RACED by the Uoly
Alliance. The attitude Of France was,
from recent accounts, that Of perfect free

But what are these difficulties which

have grown out Of that robbets quarrel
between Prussia and Austria over those
Danish duchies Wrested from Denmark
by an unholv alliance, Prussia claims the

They both proceed TO arm for war.

And here is the danger Austria and
Prussia, if left TO themselves, would proba

frightening each other til both would be
ready for a compromise. But the Italians
are in earnest, aud from The important
fact that Napoleon no longe. Restraints

The speedy interpo~;tion Of England and
Russia IN behalf Of peace. But "a Eng
