Ii il with the deepest regret ;innOC1cc that
the hopes oil settling by conference the disputes
which now agitatc Europe must be abatIdoned.-
The French government has telegrsplicd to our
own, that, in consequence of the persistence Of
Austrl. in imposing conditions which s0uld make
the discussion nugatorv, the conference viii not
be held. Ii would, indeed, be nfcekery to call
together the representatives. OF the great powers
OH terms which would necessarily involve their
immediate separation. We fear then, that mat
tiers stand rs they stood three weeks since, and
that II now rests with the armed powers to compose
their disputes by negotiation between themselves,
or TO resort to the final arbitrament Of We
can but hopo that the former counsel will prevail
but everything must now be done by the powers
themselves, for the functions of the neutral States
are at end. The decision OF the Austrian EN-
peror will be termed by his admirers, firmness by
hi: cnemie:, perversity. We have no desire 10
judge hlrsh,y sovereign who has certainly receiv-
ell much provoc,,on, but it is TO be regretted that
Austria should, for the second time within seven
years, seem TO be the cause Of a European war
The error oflIer policy will be proved by the tenn
per in which her foes will receive the news that
she has strangled the Conference. Wherever
there is one who wishes her i'll, whether il be
in the conclaves Of fPrussians, in the public places
of the Italian cities, or in the households of her
disaflected provinces, there will be joy when it
Is told that mediation is at end, and that
Austria the bla ne is made to rest. IF the En-
peror had detained an agent of Count B.mark as
his adviser, he could not more eifectuilly have
served the policy of his opponents.

Daily almost hourly, tho chances Of peace fall
away. Should the sword bc drawn, il Is from the
Ebe Dutches that VIC shall probably hear of tho
first serious eyents of the war, but the contest in
this quarter cannot compare in impor tance with
that which is impending the frontier Of the two
mOnarches. At any moment the Austrian army
may burst into losia. 1t is unlikely that the
first great move of Austria will be attempt to,
possess herself of this province. II would almost
seem to be the prize OF the conquerOr in .he COM
ing caripaign; the Emperor has been probably led
TO look fcr compensation On the province that
wes wrested from his house in the last century
This IS to make up for Nenitis and countert,lance
Holetcin. If Nentia should be lost Prussia must
defend herself, for there is no one 10 help her.
Even If she had a western ally to help her he
could not penetrate into the heart OF Europe
The only aid must come from Russi,. and the
ofthe northern powers. II Prussia sezes Holstein
it is not unlikely that Austria will at once cross
the fIontier. The Emperor is naturally desirous
to show hs strength, and to gain reputation at tho
outset by decided success. Whether BehedeS
will advance through Saxony or Berlin, or coutens
himself with provincial campaign for the con-
quest Of Sesa itself, the first few days OF the wag
must determine but in either case, all the resour-
ccs of the empire will be brought forward to mako
head against its late ally.
