The German War.
Up to the night of the 20th the belief in
the pacific adjustment of the German diff
Guilty grew stronger kilograms spoke of
concessions by Austria, and other rumors
leading to the conviction that peace would
be maintained. Funds in England and on
the continent materially improved under
pacific influences.
The London Times Of the 2lst, however,
announced that it had received news that
on the previous day the Emperor of Aus
tria and Count MensdOrf, against the adj
vice of Rome aud other Ministers, resolved
to withdraw Count Karalyi, Austrian Am
bassador, from Berlin; which decision be-
ing made known to the PTussian Minister
at Vienna, it was expected he would depart
Immediately. .... ..
1t is added in explanation that Count
MensdOrf, on receiving the PrusSian an
swer of the 10Th, teegraphed to Berlin
18th, and received fresh refusal on the 10Th.
Hence council was held and a bold
course adopted The Times believes this
action is to be followed by significant
military movement, viz: The withdrawal
of Austrian troops from IOlstein, where
they are held in check by superior Prus-
sian forces. This would enable Austria to
assume the offensive, and the Times says
the abandonment of Holstein by Austria
will be regarded as an act in anticipation of
war and will cause general alarm. 1t does
not, however, consider war inevitable.
Great activity is reported in the Italian
navy, all vessels being prepared for service.
