The latest European advices point to
serious complication, If not conflict Of
arms, between France and Pruss Ia. Napoleon
has demanded IN extension ofhis territory TO
the lett bank Of the Rhine. Prussia has res
ponded, through one Of the scmi-oflclal or
gans at Berlin, that Germany cannot accede
to my such demand. There Is a vast signid-
cameo in this response of the Berl;ner Zei,un9.
Germany together at q welding
hent under tho leadership Of Pras-
Els, Is for Napoleon to attempt
TO seize q square league Of the Rhine Pro-
vinces. The Rhine, in the estimation Of all
Germans, from Bavaria TO Pomerania, aud
from Vienna to Holstein, Is rs much q Ger
man river as the Mississippi is an American
river, or the Seine d French river. They
will not share it with any other nation. From
time immemorial they have watched with
jealous eyes tue movements Of France across
the Rhine. Cologne is 4 part Of Father
land, and forty millions Of Germans
will shed their blood before they
will allow Bonaparte 10 annex 1t to his do
minions. The argument used by Napoleon
to give some sort Of plausibility TO Ills de-
mand, Is the worst possible appeal to be ad-
dressed either TO the German people or 10
mankind generally. He bases his claim upon
the fact that tho Arst Napoleon once an
ncxed the Rhine provinces by military vic.
1enec. It would be d fitting answer If Bis
mark should reply that The first Napoleon
WIGS not strong enough to hold them.
Having made such a demand, = Napoleon
must either back it mp b. force, or pocket I
