The continental news continues war

The indications that war will soon
break out are increasing. The entry OF
| the Prussians into Holstein is regarded
by some as a virtual commencement OF
| the war. 1t is asserted that Austria re-
CARDS such entry as breach of the Gas
| ton Convention, and the foroibls occu-
patton Of Holsteiu as casus belli.
The Duke de Gramment had gone from
Paris to Vienna, and his mission is said
to be a last effort for conciiation. He
had conference with Count Munsdorff
and an audience with the Emperor of
Austria. The Count is said to have posi-
lively maintained the attitude of the
Austrian reply to the invitation to con-
ference.
The Russian Cabinet Courier reached
| Vienna on the 9TH, with an autograph
letter from the Car to the Emperor,
Bismarck has issued an important dis
pach to the Prussian representative
abroad in very bitter terms toward
Austria, and in one passage says:

to understand the real motives OF the
armament by which Austria has given
rise to the present crisis, and whose re-
moval by means of Congress she has fur

The London Times says that such q
dispatch as the above has not often been
penned by an European Minister The
Prussian statesman seems, however, to
think the Count mercenary in his COM
munication with Austria. ALI the pride
and bitter hostility of fanatical mis-
creant breaks through the negotiations
endeayored to be brought about, and all
hope of peaceful settlement may now
be considered at an end. The dispatch
breathes the spirit of war, and seems to
have been written in anticipation of an
immediate rupture.
The London Telegraph says: With
this dispatch the last hope of peace has
disappeared, and hostilities have become
inevitable.
