headship Of Prussia, into the triumphant and
powerful empire of Germany; and the arm.
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderanc.
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecufo
her often postponed but never relinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con.
stantine and the vast but decaying and an
archial dominion Of the Sultan, all combine
to invest with profound interest the ever
changing phases of our tidings from the Old
World. The Tribune. through trusted eer--
respondents stationed at all points IN Eu.
rope where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con.
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudal;sm and Ecclesi-
asticism on tbs one hand and Nineteenth.
Century skepticism and secularism ON the
other. Recognizing Divine Providenoe in,
