PROSPECT, OF wAn IN EUROPE.
EoSDoN, September 1.-The possibility OF
war on the Continent is more and more dls
cussed by the leading European journals. The
opinion generally expressed is that Prussia
though ready for war, reilly desires the con
tinuance OF peace, but taat to. Austria and Rus
sia peace is indispensable, and that the French
Emperor is now undoubtedly prepared for con-
: dict, but his policy is uncertain.
& The Liberal, of Toulouse, says Marshal Neil
who Is on visit to that city, told the Council
General that the army was animated by the
best spirit; it's armament was complete; the
arsenals were full Of material, and the financial
resources of the empire were ine1haustlbe,
and, compared with other powers, France alone
was equally ready for peace or war.
4 Some people think the necessity Of diverting
the discomfort of certain classes in France
may cause the Emperor to adopt warlike pol
icy. They say the election, oy 80 large a ma
jority, of the Liberal candidate, NJ. Golvy, in
the department Of the Ju1s. the manifesto
tions of general disafection on the part of the
students Of the medical schools and univer-
sities in Paris, the great success Of ia Ian
terne, and the deep. widespread indignation
atits suppression, are signs Of the public tenn
per, sufficient In themselves-to to alarm the En-
peror.i FNs't'<
Add to these circumstances the expense OF
keeping an abnormal armament on foot, and
the encouras ement to war offered by the sue
cess OF the past war, and there is reason, the
people say, To- expect . war IN the autumn or
spring. CONFEDERATION Of these views is sought
in a recent leading editorial in the Constitu-
tionel urging the claims Of the Empress Euge-
ME 10 the Regency II is argued that such
claims as these would not be put forth at this
time were it not anticipated that the Emperor
might have to lead an army and be exposed to
the perils Of the field.
On. the othec hand, to Offset these FORE
bodings, there are official pledges Of peace
daily made, the advice officially given to capi-
taists to act as if assured Of peace, and the ar
gumept 30 frequently urged by the French
Government that the very completeness Of the
armament is guarantee Of peace. Recent
and sudden changes Of feeling on the Bourse,
and the variations in rentes, are explained as
the results Of the alternate ascendency Of the
opposing views.
In apubic speech at Marseilles, NJ. Belvie
assured his hearers that the policy of France
was for the preservation Of peace. The En-
peror, he said, would guard it without am
munition and without weakness, and the mill
tary precautions taken by the Government
would make peace sure.
THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL. YAcHr RACE.
LONDON, August SIT is announced to-day
that Captain Baldwin, of the American yacht
sappho, has challenged the yacht Aline. and
that the challenge has been accepted. The de-
tails of the race have not yet been agreed upon.
The Cambria, which came in first in the recent
race around the Isle Of Wight, has gone to
Spain, and will not return for some time. Bald
yin has, therefore, challenged the Aline, which
was second in the last race. and came only two
minutes behind the Cambria.
