The Independence Beige says there have oee'i
concentrations OF French troops on the HoAtlci ,
and that il wa believed part of this concentrStot
had been do ; in accordance with orders M sent u
from Sazbur, by the Emperor Napoleon. IL Is
not easy to believe that Austria is wilfuly placing
herself i'll danger OF extinction. Whatever might
be the result OF war between France and frussla'
if Austria took part III 1t, with Russia assaS hel
on the flank, she must suffer. The idea OF EnglaHo
taking part i'll any OF these new combinations Is
too absurd

The Paris Steele ofthe 26tf ofAuSust writing on
the aspect of Napoleon's Diplomacy says
1t is impossible to den, that the CONCLUSION OF
an alliance with the obje It OF interference In the
internal affairs of Ger lany would be consider-
ed on the other side OF the knne as alFec' M
a threat of war as pos ble. The absence OF Wur-
temburg and Bavaria which were said to be ready
to throw themselves into the arms OF France and
Austria has been much remarked on. Whcther
it be prudence or Patriotism, the governments oi
both these states have abstained from taking any.
step which could be considered unfavorable to the
policy Of Prussia. In short, pesslmlst runors
are rife to-day, and the general opinion lnclnes to
the belief that the Salzburg interview viii be the
prelude of grave events At the same time many
politicians think that the condition OF Austria
must impose on the Emperor Francis Joseph tno
greatest reserve.
The meeting at Salzburg suggests TO La france,
of August q, series OF observations III favor OF
peace unless indeed, Prussia should see MT to
weld to warlike ideas. Neither France nor Aus
tra has, says the writer, any intention OF inter
fering with the Confederation of the North, their
object being to accept, as hitherto what has been
accomplished in Germany. There Is no eventu-
alitv OF menacng character anywhere, unless
Prussia should aim at still further enlavginS
position which the lucky chances of an unjust war

dominate Bavaria, Wurtemburg and Baden then
the gravest complications would, OF necessity,
arise.

bitter on the subject of the Salzburg interview,
and theIe is an evident commoton among the
dplomatists Of Berlin.
The Press Of Vienna, of August 26, traces IN the
following terms the role which Prussia ought TO
adopt to assure peace in Europe:
AS to that kingdom, we should profoundly de-
porc that in opposition TO the tenor OF the treaty
of Prague, she should wish to extend the bonds OF
thc Confederation of Northern Germany to the
States of the South We should see IN 1t liienace
for Austria so long as Prussia had not renounced
her intimacy with Russia. Surrounded on three
sides by Russia and Prussia, and on the southeast
by the small Sclave States, worked by RUSSIAN
emissaries, that would be, we mus, asom, s'tua
ton which Austria could not possibly support any
longer Let Prussia reflect, then let her not
push matters to extremities, and let her await the
future with moderation and tranquility, OF, which
would be better and more advantageous, let her
break with .ussia, and let her JON heart ana soul
