EUROPE.
The war between France and Prussia
has. it scms, brough, ako1s re,ul,s Of
which no one dreamed at its inception.
By tho dispatches from Europe, VIC
learn tina, Russia, hill smar,ing under
the blow. inflicted upon her by England
and France in the Crimea demands 4
revision of the treaty # Paris, made at
the close Of that struggle.
The object Of the Crimssn war. on tho
par. OF France and England, was to pre-
vent Russia FROM sb,ainipg control Of the
Black Sea. and by that mean, orsrwhel-
ming The whole Of European Turkey, and
shus adding to her already immense pos
sessions.
Russia. defeated upon every field By
The Allies. was compelled to ,usmis.o the
treaty Of 1856; bu. now that France j,
no. in position to send troops outside Of
her own borders, and England is mcnnced
frem more quarters than one, the Russian
Emperor seeks to recover the ground he
lost, and while bis former enemies are too
bu,ily engaged a. hcms, to throw his in.
mer,e army upsn,he efirminate troops $;
Turkey. and 4. single cOpp aes'ues, re.
cover ,h. prestige to Russians arms which
was lo.. when ne fel. the power Of Eng
lard .ud France.
The demand Of Russia is not met in
ssy .opcili..ory spirit by the British
Ministry. and the French, although bur-
dened with their own troubles, arc load
in their dcnuncia,iops Of this per6dy on
the par! Of Ru,sis; and, doubtless, rs
soon as they hsr. rid themselves Of their
invaders. will 6t,insly remsniber her
.reachsry.
The case, as it stands. is one which
may involve every Power in Europe in
war. England has assurances from Aus
,ria, Turkey, and other Powers. that she
can rely upon their aid in case Of war /;
while it is rumorod that the PruSsians are
.. the bottom Of all this and will side With
Russia il the sword should be the arbiter.
England is making preparations for
war-Rus,ia i, already prepared. The
smaller Powers are looking OI vigorously
for the strong side, and so it re,is. In
the course of 4 week, however, We may
expect one Of tive things-reaeclbls sub
mission to the treaty oflS56 BY Rus,ia, or
the clash Of arms upon which the destiny
Of four or Eve European nations depends.
