The tone of the Paris and Berlin press
has commenced again to be peaceful, and it
may be implied therefrom that no war will
break out in Europe this year. Specula-
ton is of course ripe at all times about the
probable chances of the collision between
the two countries and that the ultimate
outbreak of hostilities cannot be avoided,
is the pretty general opinion in our coun-
try. tfs sAeias5f s'1 hgsg
The result of the visit of the King of
Prussia to Hanover has created much satis-
faction on account of the orderly and even
enthusiastic manner in which he was re-
ceived by the Inhabitants of that city; it
had been apprehended that hostile demon
strations would be made on the occasion,
but the people of Hanover seem to accept
accomplished facts with spirit of resig-
nation. Prussian flags were seen floating
over almost every house in the principal
streets of the city, and there is a prospect
of the Hanoverians adapting themselves
cheerfully to the new order of things.
The Emperor of Austria presided few
days ago over the inauguration of the new
bridge across the Holden at Hague. 1t was
noticed with great pleasure by the friends
of Austria, and indeed by every man who
upholds law and order, that better feel
ing prevails between the German and the
Bohemian element in the capital of the
Czeehians than has been the case for some
time. A
The policy of Baron Won Beurt has evil
IDENTIFY proved to be a salutary one for Aus
tria; he favors general reconciliation and
a mutual understanding in all the griev-
ances which the populations dependent on
the Austrian throne, may have against the
Central Governments. He has succeeded
not only in making himself pretty popular,
but in raising his imperial master in the
estimation of the nations over which he
rules. The question of the new laws in
Austria, which gives so much offense to
the Catholic clergy, is said to have been
touched by the Pope during speech, de-
livered by him before the assembled men,
bers of the Consistorium, convocated by
the Holy Father in Rome. His remon-
strances to the action of the Austrian Leg
islature are not believed to be of any avail
or pracGlcdl utility, IOr JHe Austrldu Oof-
ernment is evidently determined to carry
out the laws of the land to the letter. The
Journey of Prince Napoleon to Turkey
gives, of course, rise to many conjectures
and surmises; while on Austrian soil he
was constantly watched by party of po-
litical Spectators an interview with the
Austrian prime minister was sure to result
in an intimate offensive and defensive alli-
ance between France and Austria; con-
versation with the representatives of the
Gerhian party in Prague would probably
result in the immediate assistance of
French bayonets, for securing to the Bohe-
mians all the privileges enjoyed by the
Hungarians, and the respect which the
most conspicuous leaders of the latter ma
ton have paid him in Pesth can have no
other aim than to win the cousin of the
French Emperor to the undivided sympa-
thy with the wishes of the Magyars. There
is a good deal in all these rumors which
bears the stamp of absurdity, for it is prob
able that Prince Napoleon does not take
the felicity of the Bohemians more to heart
than that of the Hungarians, or any other
qalasi extinct nationality.
