The current, which has been towards
war for some months, seems to be &C
celebrated. Austria, Prussia and Italy
are all, not arming, but armed: Russia
is reported to be arming; the Turkish
force is to be at once raised 10 q war
footing, and twelve thousand reserves
are called out the minor German gov
ernments are preparing for-Or against
-hostilities and brief but signih-
cant speech of the Emperor Napoleon,
which we print in full elsewhere, in
which he, the most cautious of the Eu
ropean monarchs, said that he 'detest-
ed' the treaty of 1915, has caused a
panic in Paris. The blood of the Ital-
ians appears to be up to fever heat
the government has received extraor-
binary powers, the cities are voting re
wards and pensions to soldiers, and all
eyes are turned toward Venice, where
the Austrians have lately conducted
themselves with extraordinary rigor
and brutality.
All this looks very much like war
Meantime the diplomatists are still ex
changing dispatches, and everybody is
supposed to be begging everybody else
to be quiet and keep the peace, how
sincerely remains to be seen. In the
news this morning, as for some time
past, we meet with an item, whose per
sistent repetition gives it, perhaps,
some importance. 1t is once more as
serted from Paris that peace is possible,
if only England and Russia will join
France in efforts TO prevent hostiliUies.
| Now every body knows that England IS
| and has been most DESTROYS to prevent
war; and there is no reason to suppose
that Russia, with disordered finances
and an unsettled labor system, desires
war. Why, then, should it be continu-
ally limited that these powers are not
working for peace; that their co-opera-
ton with France is lacking that if they
would only help Napoleon, peace could
be preservedf
Why, unless it is that the willy EN-
peror has secretly determined on war,
but does not wish to shoulder the
blame, and Is preparing to put it of
on his neighbors? He has failed in
Mexico, how badly is better known in
France than here, even; the freedom
of discussion in the French legislature
during the past winter has revealed TO
the French public that this is not the
only blunder Napoleon has caused
France to make; he may not be averse
to ar European war, which would ma
turally turn the attention Of French
men once more from within to without
At any rate, by these reiterated reports
that Napoleon will preserve the peace
if only England and Russia will assist
him-play second-fddle to him that il
to say-he is ingeniously making il
next to impossible for them to etfec
tually interfere; for neither of these
great powers likes to be put in the
position of acting subsidiary part un
der the French Emperor
lie would be rasn man who would
venture a prediction Just nov upon the
turn of affairs in Europe But the las
news IS more warlike than any before
received; and affairs have come I,
the pass, in Italy and Austria, and il
Prussia, too, where great many sub
ordinate Interests expect benefit from
war, and loss from peace, while tn,
passions OF the Italian people will b.
difficult to restrain.-N T. Post, 22d

The Gold ExpOrt--.Great Strength

The Gold export of the past week is
worthy of special notice, and reflects
the highest as well as the most graft
flying credit upon our public and mer-
camille finances. A money crisis pend
ing in England, the result of vast cot
ton speculations at Liverpool, and of
extraordinary stock gambling-on the
limited liability principle of finance
and banking association sanctioned by
recent act of Parliament in London,
and war crisis threatened on the con-
tinent, caused a sudden and pressing
demand on the New York market,
early So the week, for relief abroad. 1t
was no ordinary request for the settles
ment of balances, as these, in the re-
ceiVed mercantile sense, are believed
not TO be Immediately against this side,
but an earnest appeal to our bankers
and merchants to anticipate their fu-
ture remittaDces in gold or its assured
equivalent, and to draw as little against
their present balances as possible, look
ing to the relative dearness of, and
pressing need for, money in Liverpool
and London, as compared with its ease
in New York. This appeal was prompt
ly responded to Nth nearly nine millions
Of q0d coin, in three or four days after
the so-called critical news came to
hand. 1t was done, too, with equal
alacrity and convenience. The means
were at ready command; it was q genu-
inc pleasure to give them instant dis
patch.
The gold was forthcoming without
putting up the price, even so much as
one per cent, or greatly exciting the
noted Gold Room down town, although
somewhat harvest of speculation was
hoped for on that arena when the news
arrived here. But the Government
was on hand to supply so much of this
sudden demand as could not be an
swered by the sums of gold interest re-
Gently paid out of the Treasury, but
still held in good part in the Banks.
And the gold was parted with at the
going rate of the market with no stin-
ted or grudging hand, and should the
later news be construed to require dou-
bic or tiye-fold the sums of last week,
we have reason to believe that it will
not be withheld Since the lst of July
last the Treasury has received, at New
York alone, about $l20,0O0,O00 in gold
customs, where it has been required to
pay out only $44, 00O,00 for gold interest
The difference available for currency in
terest and other objects of expenditure
in currency, is thus seen to be$76 100000
at New York, and probably over $780,
100000 in Gold at all the ports; a part
of this IS already sold or exchanged,
but much the larger part yet to be sold
or exchanged in the open MARKEDLY
