ANOTHER WAR CLouDiS THE EAsr.-For
several months there has been oaiuous 81 gus
ot rupture between Au ,tria aud Prus sa
and our last advices from Europe indie ate
That the danger has now become immin eut
rhe quarrel has reference to the control of
the Duchies, which territory Austria assul ed
to hold rs n kind OF dependency, and which
authority Prussia resolutely iguores. An
angry diplomatic controversy upon this sub
Ject has been in progress for long time
But II seems that Prussia has Mt last prseon-
ted its ultimatum, demanding that Austria
shall forthwith surrender the Duchies for a
81 Fecihei consideration. The war feeling
has grown so warm that both nations have
been quietly making hestile preparations,
and it seems quite probable that the tribunal
OF arms will be appealed to. la the regular
order of things, it is about time for another
war in Europe. The last was that pertain
ing to Schleswig- -Holstein, a little more than
year ago; bat that was small affair
The war that occurred in 1859, between
France and Austria, was tha last war OF great
magnitude that has occurred in Europe, and
as seven years rarely pass without a war in
somo part OF Europe, an encounter between
Prussia aud Austria would not be surprising
