YUr WAR m EUR0PE.

No action at arms yet; but this morn
ine's dispatches show no declination Of
interest in the shaping oil affairs toward
a s~aneninary solution. The mystery Of
the secret treaty we can not rasel. 1t
comes by hints, and the hints only by
piecemeaI; and what it may be is utterly
impossible 10 tell. Austria seems, IN
natural ne the case looks, to incline to
the side of Prussia. The German States,
unnatural again, from this point of view,
are reported enthusiastic for Prussia;
and Russia seems to take the poorer
side of the case, by fayoring Prussia.
While this is the case Of the surround
ings, as we have it by Telegraph. Prussia
seems confident in her position. the Off
GERS of the army headquarters l~uxuriating
in Berlin, as if no danger threatened the
Rhine border.
II is put up in Berlin that Napoleon
counted upon q disaffection in the South
German States, and intended crossing
before Prussia could prepare a reception;
hat he finds his premises at variance
with the physical facts, and is discon-
certed at the outset; and is driven to a
change of plens all round.
All which, begging your pardon, is a
little too fat. A streak Of lean would
give the relish Of plausibility to the story.
Men like Napoleon do not make such
mistakes before arranging a war. They
do not put up a defeat for themselves
which is never 10 be shaded by a cloud
Of powder smoke. The dispatches are
quite too partial TO the Prussians. We
incline to believing that Napoleon
knows Russia, at least, and probably
Russia and Austria, to be friendly to him.
At all events, Napoleon is yet possessed
of the lions hide by proper belonging;
and when driven to extremity has more
Of the fox's to exc 1t out with than any
other man in Europe. We will hear fur
ther of this; and that the dispatches
have been partial.
