Mar Prospects in Europe.

From the Paris correspondent Of Columbia
Carolinian dated 23d May, VIC extract as
follows:
Notwithstanding the leading powers OF Eu
roos contemplate sending representatives to
nu; their respective limbs under diplomatic
Ipahogony. md repaint the map OF Europe,
tie probability is that the now much veIed
nnestion will not be settled without an eX.
ctayce of shots. No confidence is to be pac-
ed in the diplomatic intentions ot either italy
or Prussia. If the w2r has mot broken cut
before, it is because neither BisInark nor Vic
,or Emsnuel are ready, and all pretence OF
agreement or concilation is but ruse de
GHerre to gain time Such provinces as Dali
instia and the Tyrol are only come atable III
the month of June at the soonest.
The arrival of Mr.. Layard from London
Yesterday bringing with him the acceptance
of the British Foreign Office OF the program
me Of the Congress, is wbif OF peace. 1t
appears tt,at Russia has accepted the propo'
sal, and Prussia, Augtria aud Italy Will not
dare to refuse theinvitationS to send repre-
sentatives.
There will therefore be o pow WOW, in
shich strong attempt vail be made to stave
oG the thunders Of the Whitworths, Arm
stroags end Mires, but no peace is possible
unless Austria yields Venetia; and those who
know the obstinacy Of the House of Il pS-
burg indulge in iittle hops Of such conccs-
sion.
Tho fighting furore of the ltaliens is i'm
mense. Garibaldi called for twenty thousand
volunteers. and lnorc than sixty thousand Of
isred. Indeed the Government itself can
SCARCELY stop the ardor of young Italy, and an
attemot to this eud would doubtless provoke
revolution at home. The sympathy tor their
Venetian brethren bound in Austrian letters is
toostrong to he 9uenched by compromise. "On
to Venetia' is the popular cry. Pira il Re
"Long live the Kingn " Garibal di and Italy"
are to be heard in Florence and through the
Peninsula Oh every breeze. Thus FAR the
Government has not declined to accept this
army of patriotic volunteers. Nor Is there
less enthusiasm among the German States OF
Franz Joseph.
But even were this matter settled, those
who are behind the scenes assert that there
will be new difficulty in determining the
Oriental question which has again appeared
on the HORIZON. The elect of the peopl, of
the Moldo Wailachian provinces, Charles OF

Powers which signed the Convention OF 1888.
The young Prussian Prince was received with
enthusiasm, ani Turkey urged On by Russia,
has entered The arena OF tue coming struggle.
1t is more than likely that this new compli,
cation-svill be difficult TO uEravel and the
Memorial Dip!o.na.iqne" may have been
quite right in calling attention to the sieniil-
ant attitude of Russia OIL the banks OF the
Danube, and In prophesying that the first
cannon shot, would wake the Qaesttond Ori-
cnt from its uneasy slumber.
It is believed here that fighting will COM
mencs in less than twenty days, aud that
Austria or Prussia will strike the first blow
Be that as it may, Italy with her army Of
lalf q. million already n the field, thoroughly
equipped, will If necessary, precipita,e the
strife and encounter the Austrian Eagles sin

The position of Napoleon is a study. Like
Al, eagle in his eyre, he sits brooding, but
watching with eye acute. every movement of
the game around him. His great nncle would
probably have been foremost in the strife, an
active participant; but the nephew has become on
an arbiter not more feared than fearless. The
silken glove covers the iron hand seeming
