TIE PROSPECT OF EUROPEAN WAR.
AUG. 3O-The possibility Of war on the continent is
GENERALLY discussed by the leading European journals
The prevailing opinion is that Prussia though ready
for war really desires the continuance Of peace but
that 10 Austria and Russia peace Is Indispensable and
that the French Emperor is undoubtedly
prepared for o conflict, but his policy is uncertain.
The Libtra Of Toulouse says that Marshal Mel. who
is on a visit TO that city, told the Council General
that the army was animated by the best splnt
It's armament was complete, the arseDals were
flIll of material, the financial resources Of the
Empire were ineXaustible and that, compared With
other powers France alone WIS equaHy READY Tor
peace OF war Some people think that the neces-
sty Of advortng the discomfort Of certain classes
in France may induce the Emperor 10 adopt a war
like policy. They say that the election
by so large majority Of the Liberal
the manifestations Of general disaneetOn on the part
Of the students of the medical schools and uniyer
sites in PARIS. The great success Of the LaHio'He,
and the deep and wide spread Indignation az is sup
preston are signs Of the public temper suhieiet IN
themselves 10 alarm the Emperor. Add 10 these
circumstances the expense Of keeping an abnormal
armament on foot, and the announcement to war
offered by the Of the last loan there is reason
these people say To expect war IN Autumn or spring
Confederation Of these views Is sOnght IN recent
leading editorial in the Constitutional, urging the
claims of the Empress Eugenie 20 the Regency IL
is argued that such claims these would not be put
forth at tins time it not anticipated that the
Emperor might have 20 lead al army, and be exposed
to the perils Of the field.
On the other hand TO effect these forebodings there
are the official pledges Of peace daily made, the
advice officially given to capitalists to act as II as
sured Of peace; aud the argument 80 frequently urged
10y the French Government that their very complet-
ness Of the armament is guaranty of peace. Recent
and sudden changes of feeling the Bourse and the
variations in Renes are explained results of the
alternate aseendency of these opposing views at the
financial center of France.
