LIVERPOOL, JAM 1865.


Telegraph thus prophesies concerning the
events Of this year b; his speculations being
curious If not Instructive:
.'The year 1866 will, think, be marked
year in the history Of France, md indeed Of
Europe. Tint 1t will be !: year Of profound
peace lnlly expect, for who really wants to

perhaps who might like to engage, but as
both the governments know better. such
warllke aspirations nrc Of small avail. For
the rest tho Emperor Of the French, who
practically Keeps the key Of that much quoted
Temple OF Janus, has declared for peace.
| England would scarcely fight for herself,
much les her friends, and when those two
! powers ore agreed, the rrst Of Europe has but
/ little to eay. still TWO great questions must,
think, be settled-tlose Of Rome and
Venice. The Emperor, 1t would seem,

and TINT veted que ton be Solved Then the
Feuetian affair rises before rs, and that, too,
must be settled. Lockers on might think
that 1taly's difficulty should be Anstria's op-
portunitJ, and that now that Ita1y must per
force reduce her army, Austria might become
but aggressive as regards other territories
but then "tookers on'' would forget that such
a step On the part ofthe government OF Vienna

you will see, and Austria will swallow her
Hapsburg pride md exchange what Is really
q barren honor for larce sum Of Italian mo-
ney, whlch the concession Of Venetia-inyal-
uabIe to Italy, but utterly worthless, uay,
very expansive to Austrsa-wu permit the
Government Of Florence to pay. These ase
the two questions which now alone threaten
the peace Of Europe; aud as the Emperor
Napoleon Is mere than likely to be already
the accepted umpire In both affairs, 1t il not
wonderful that his speech at the opening OF
the coming session Of Parliament should ba
looked for with interest and anxiety. As
have before said, look upon the present as
the most peaceful period that has dawnsd oa
orders sent the French leet to the Bay Of Sd
lamia, aud practically kindled the Crimean
war and also consider that the great In.
terpational Exhibition OF 1867 Is q material
guaranty Of that peace, given not only by
France but by the Europe1n powers who have

Of universal Improvement. Apfupos, VIC had
