THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

The Emperor LOUIS NAPOLEON and Queen VIC
ToA, from tho advantages Of their position, ahould
be considered good authorities in matters per-
tanning to the prospects Of the continuance or in
fraction Of the peace Of Europe. They have both,
from their thrones, recently delivered addresses to
their respective ParIiaments, on the affairs to
them severally Of the greatest importance; and
touching the peace Of Europe, NAPOLEON, on the
18th Of February, remarked, that he has 'sthe firm
conviction that peace will not be disturbed;;" and
the Queen Of England more recently expressed
reasons for hoping that the war in which Prus-
sia, Austria and Italy have been engaged, may
lead to the establishment Of durable peace in
Europe"
But notwithstanding these royal assurances,
there are many whose minds are not altogether at
ease on this momentous question. It has been
surmised that the olosaof the French Exhibition
would be speedily followed by new developments
indicative of m aggressive policy on the part Of
LOUIS NAPOLEON. he might then avail himself Of
an opportunity to rectfy the national boundaries,
and perhaps avenge certain supposed indignities
heretofore re .sived from jealous but powerful
neighbors. As time passes nothing transpires
that tends to justify these evil portents, and if we
mistake not the dread Of the future, amounting
almost to feeling Of CONSERVATION which grew
out Of the events connected with the German war,
is giving place to q reasonable hope Of continued
peace. Confidence is gradually regained. At first
the havoc Of the Prussian breech-loaders caused
Simultaneous demand throughout Europe for
more effective firearms and the most thorough
military reorganization. The work was entered
upon with promptitude and earnestness by nearly
al the leading governments, including France,
England, Austria Russia and the Scandinavian
powers. It still continues and will take years for
it's completion, but in the end the relative strength
of ambitious rivals is not likely to be essentially
changed: Certainly single year cannot greatly
disturb the equilibrium Of forces. On all sides it
is agreed that If war comes at all France and
Prussia will figure as the chief combatants. But
the formidable array of fortresses held by Prussia
on the Rhine, the wen-flled ranks OF the now
terrible 'landwehr," and the plethorie condition Of
King WILLIAMS treasury, are substantial argu-
ments in favor Of peace which LOUIS NAPOLEON is
fully competent to appreciate.

formerly with reference to any change in our State

hereafter to be CONTROLLED Caroltnian.
