The impending War in Europe.

the l2lh ult, gives the following concern
ing the impending war in Europe:
War to the knife" This is the deeis-
ion. There is no more hope of peace.
The Conference has failed, if such a farce
may be dignitied by such phrase. Aus
tria would not come if territorial changes
we've to be brought up for discussions; and,
as the whole question restsupon territorial
changes, not only for Austria, but Prussia,
and France aud Italy, what nonsense to
assemble host Of dip,onasts to talk Of
nothing. The Emperor Napoleon hesits-
ted, in order to give the war preparations
time 10 proceed, and when he had consent
ed, it was too late to arrest them,
The Italians would not have obnyed any
call but that of tambours, and it is impossi>
ble to believe that the whole programme
has not been arranged very lcn9. They
have probably been hoping for this oppor-
tunity every day since :he peace OF Villa
franoa. Yet, any hour that Austria should
give up Venice, Italy would lay down her
arms, and the other powers wou'd be
para zed. Strange intatuatloC that Aus
,ria persists in striding to ruin for tie sake
Of completing the ruin o: one beautiful
city She thinks she is very strong, but
is not without fear. Everything beautiful
at Venice in the way of art has been re
moved 10 Vienna, except te" fIescoes
aud Mosaics and the Jesuits have emigrat
ed also to The North, where the Italians
~ ct
The Pgussiaps have entered llo}steiu,
and Austrians have withdrawn, protesting
only. Each side shrinks from striking he
first blow. That France is the ally Of
Italy is certain and, as a necessary cen,
sequence, she must have promised either
aid, or more serviceable neutrality, t.
! Prussia The Frerch Government now
asks not only the contingent of 100, 600
men, but loan of 750, ,000,0 00Of. to pro-
vide for the security of the country, The
budget is SOON to be discussed, when the
Mexican loans and conquest will receive
due attention, aud new appropriations be
either voted or vetoed by the Corps
Legislatif.
The Emperor instructed the Perfects to
ascertain the opinions ol the people about
war, and though it would seem hat
shelr ways and means are rather limited
for making any very extensive lnvestlga-
ton for this purpose, they are reported to
have learned that all classes are very much
opposed to meddIing with other peoples
wars; aericulturists, because their sons
are taken by the conscliption those
who are engaged in commerce and man
ufactures, because body buys their pro-
ducts; capitalists, because securities are
ruinous!y deprecated; and those who
have nothing, because nobody will lend
them Ave franc piece.
The torpedoes of Lieut.. Maury are
being tested by the mos. competent men
Of the Admiralty, with the Emperor as
witness ard the Minister of Marine has
departed on an insp ec'ing tour of als the
ports of France.
The Constitutional repeats every few
| days that the Government is not committed
in any way, and has reserved to itself
"cntire liberty of action" which is mere
ly ridiculous; but until the armies are
ranged in order of battle the secret treats
les will remain in their hiding places. 1t
( is asserted that Russia is the ally OF
Austria, for what purpose is still doubtful.
It is battle array moro fearful than any
the world has ever seen The mustered
hosts Of the great Frederick, SO years ago
were only 1000 men now Prussia has
! 100000.
Italy, tha! Eve years ago could scarcely
gather 5000 volunteers, has now 80 600
and boasts her million Of men ready to
march to the 20 and embark upon the
Adriatic. Five hundred thousand pairs OF
shoes were ordered the other day from a
single house in Paris, and $4,000 cos
tunes for volunteers. Four thousand
horses left Marseies week since for
Florence, and $4,000 were purchased IL
Hungary for Austria.
But the crops are very backward in
Germany, and great fears are entertained
lest their should be scarcity Of food fer
both man and beast.
The cholera has made its appearace

! There are dark clouds in every quarter
but Vienna journal says The war is
10 purify the atmosphere Of moral pesli
lence. When the Duches shall be a
second time free from a domination more
detested and more deteslab.e than that oi
The Danes; when they shall enjoy their
independence, and have tbeir own soyer-
eign, Germany will present another face
, she viii be no longer soiled by lies, noy
compromised by the rapacity of political
/ men. When the heroic General Benedek
draws the sword, Germany need not veil
her face and when he will have con
quered, the hour of redemption will have
come for the nation"
How are We TO take sides IN such a
struggle We wish Venice to be wreste.!
