The Coming War in Europe.
The San Francisco Times, commenting on the
warlike aspect in Europe, has the following;
ANOTHER WAR CLOUD IN EUnorE--It is evident
from the tenor Of our dispatches that another diff
Guilty has arisen between France and Prussia. The
quarrel seems to have grown out Of the Schieswig-
Holstein matter, Prussia refusing the retrocession 81
certain provinces taken from Denmark during the
late war. and France backing up the claims Of Den
mark. 1t is at least probable that a war viii this
time take place, and it is stated on the continent TO
be looked upon as certain. When the Luxembourg
question was settled il was the general opinion in
Europe that a collision between the two powers was
merely postponed, neither party being quite ready.
and Napoleon having the Great Exposition on his
hands. Though a peace was then patched up, mill
tary preparations have never been suspended for an
instant in either country, and both have in various
ways eyinced their belief that an ultimate appeal TO
arms was inevitable. Since that time both parties
have put themselves into nearly perfect fighting trim.
Prussia has made great progress in the consolidation
of her new acquisitions and the organization Of her
administration, while Napoleon has made his exhibi-
ton a success, has entertained the sovereigns at his
capital, and in all probability completed his DISPOSE
tons for the struggle. The attitude of both parties
is such that the war may at any time be precipitated
upon the slightest pretext. The real issue Is Euro
pean supremacy, and it may be fought out as wen
upon this Schleswig-Ilolstein matter as npon any
other. \ successful war can alone enable Napoleon
to regain the prestige which in various ways he has
recently lost, quiet domestic dissatisfaction and secure
n fair chance for his son; while if Prussia would carry
out the grand plans OF national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
which are no doubt completed by her King and his
advisers, she must brook no interference.
The two nations are like well matched and skillful
sworismen. watching for an opportunity to strike
witt advantage. The blow, when ii comes, will lie
sudden and hard. Assuming a war to be imminent,
il is impossible to tell with which side success will
rest; as besides the difficulty of estimating the rels-
tive strength of the combatant>, We cannot tell what
may be the secret understanding of the European
powers, or whom the struggle may involve. From
appearances, though 1t seems as If every advantage
was now with France, Prussia will fight At a greater
disadvantage on the Schleswig-Hostein question than
on that of Luxembourg, rs it docs not 50 strongly en-
list the German feeling, and would more directly
interest Northern Europe against her. Surprising.
moreover. the fighting abilities Of the two nations 10
bc the same, Napoleon Is still undoubtedly the ablest
sovereign, if not the ablest statesman IN Europe, and
has had ample opportunity TO efec; an oyerpowering
alliance. Russia wants Turkey; Italy wants Rome:
Austria is still sore over her defeat Of last summer,
and Denmark, with Sweden, who sympathizes with
her, hates and fears Prussia This situation gives
Napoleon annie scope for the display of his peculiar
abilities. and II is probable that he has availed himself
Of them to TIE utmost. The recent visit of the Car
to Paris and the c~ordialjty which seemed to exist
between the two Emperors, were regarded in Europe
as significant. The attitude which the Russian Gov
eminent is said To have assumed on this question
