The War Prospect
The latest and most precise intelligence
relating lo tile war question in Europe is
found in llie report ot tlio debate in the
House of Commons on the night ol the
i!6th ult. Lord l'rtlnierslon asked the
Ministers if they could give anv assurance
thai the peace would not he broken ; and
Mr. 1 hsrasli replied that he could state
that the Papal Territories woyld he evac
uated by both the French and Austrian
torces. I'liis announcement was natural
|y received with cbefcr*, for it removes one
ol the grout points of di|)iculiy between
die Cabinet^-of Paris hiiU Vienna. Hut
those who read the report of this debate,
w hieb we give in another coUiu n, will
perceive that Mi. I_)i*ra?li is exceedingly
cautious in his statement, and "does not
go beyond the single unucuueeiiient in
question. lie does'uot bxpt?es&.aii) thing

atul yet, had he entertained such a con
viction, had he liven able lo furnish the 'y
