uous opinion of the Mexican people that Gen
eral Scott had In his day Of power over the
question of their destiny but still we cannot
suppose that Mr.. Seward has failed to be con-
vinced by facts which have convinced every
body else that the time is at hand for Napoleon
and Macmillan to pack up their traps and
leave Mexico to the Mexicans.
Mr.. Seward, in his correspondence of the last
twelve months or 80 with the French govern
ment touching the withdrawal of Napoleon and
Macmillan, has given us much less of his diplo-
matte milk and water than usual, and by his
consistent course would have satisfied the
American people but for their lack Of faith in
his sincerity. What with their want of faith
and what with those various rumors Of his in
trigues with Macmillan and Napoleon, Of his
confidential conferences with Romero in behalf
of Juarez, and of his alleged secret arrange
ments with General Santa Anna ut st. Thomas
and over in Jersey, the American people are
completely befogged as to Mr.. Stewards real
position as to what he has done and what
he expects to do on this Mexican question in
its relations to the Monroe doctrine.
At JuuCttlTc tuc IlOuSo VI hcpTcScutu-
tives, not Indifferent on this question, at least,
to the prevailing public sentiment of the coun-
try, has taken up this Mexican problem and
turned it over to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs with the understanding from Gene
raj Banks, chairman of said committee, that he
will at an early day make report in favor of
some definite and decisive line of action. We
therefore await the report of the committee in
the hope that it will have the effect of expe-
diting the departure of the French and Aus
trians from Mexico; the effect of relieving Mr..
Seward Of a heavy job of correspondence with
N. Drouyn de Lhuys, and the effect of re-estab-
fishing the Mexican republic and all the other
republics of the American continent, on good
foundation. Then, at least, let US hope Mr..
Seward will find time to commence peremp-
tory knocking at the door which was closed in
his face by Lord Clarendon some time ago,
touching those Anglo-rebel spoliations on
American commerce.

Latest Phase or the Esrepesa was
Question. t..
The question of war in Europe presents
every day or two some new phase, always, how
ever, more or less threatening one. The
greatest difficulty in the way of peace remained
still with Italy, though apparently Prussia and
Austria were nearer an immediate conflict Of
arms 1t appears that nothing can allay the
war fever Of the Italians but the shedding Of
blood or the cession Of Venetia. Austria will
not cede Venetia, and accepts the alternative
Of war. The difficulty between Prussia and
Austria with regard to Schleswig- Holstein is
Italy's opportunity, and the Italians will pre-
cipitate conflict if possible. In the meantime
Prussia has by the concentration Of superior
forces in Holstein compelled the Austrians to
leave that territory. So far war seems i'm
minent
On the other hand the German Diet assumes
an important attitude that may materially
change or modify the current Of events. This
great body, which represents sll the States Of
Germany, has taken action against Prussia and
in favor of Austria. The Diet, by vote of
army. Prussia protested against this decision,
because the object was to keep the German
States united. II amounted to a declaration
to Prussia that If she persisted in her course
she would isolate herself from the other States
of the Fatherland. The Austrian representa-
tive insisted on the indissolubility Of the federal
compact, and the Diet sustained Austria in
this. The question is, then Is Prussia pre-
pared and resolved to act in opposition to the
will of united Germany? Will she be so OBJ
stinate on the Holstein question that no COM
promise can be possibles Will she for the
sake of obtaining some temporary advan-
tage over Austria, ally herself to another race
and non-German Power and make war on
Germany itself? This new phase of
the question, perhaps, may make her
hesitate. If she goes to war under
such circumstances she assumes grave
responsibility. Up to this Austria undoubt-
edly has the advantage of moderation, and che
other German States appear to give her credit
for it and to sustain her in it. 1t is barely pos
sible peace may result from the attitude Of the
Diet The danger is, however that the Italians
will bring on war. Where there is so much
combustible matter all around, an accidental
spark may set the continent in blaze. But
however the war may begin, whatever Powers
may be arrayed against each other at the COM
mencement Of hostilities, the war must drift
into one Of great principles. Before the end
we shall see the old conservative dynasties
allied to defend each other and themselves
against the revolutionary elements Of Europe,
whether these be arrayed under republican,
imperial, or kingly banner. Every instalment
Of news we may receive from Europe, there
fore, for some time to come will be full Of inte-
rest. The present aspect Of affairs is as we have
stated The next arrival may give different
