lfj Likelihood of a Kuropeiwi War this Spring.
L<>m>?>n. February I'd.? Archibald Pot-hen,
who is reptrded here as (lie prince <>f war correspondents,
is very positive that there will he
no w?r. It will he remembered that he married
la*t year in W&ahiugtou the daughter of
(Jen. Mcigg*. and, happy as lie is in his domestic
relations and sulk-ring he does from
rheum t sin, contracted in the last It-iaso Turkish
war. he would uol prohahty take the hold
in case hostilities should begin. Nofcrthc t-t
he is an acute observer, ami few men arc as
well informed as he us to the lighting enpac'tv
of utty and all the I'owi r* -Peace will not ho
disturbed this aprim/,' he laid yesterday when
I railed upon hi-n -I'licro will he no out
break hatwecu Franco and tierinany. In-lea l,
through all this talk of war, 1 have uovcr
thought it probable.'
Why?' I aske'l.
'Hcentiac the French are not going t>> attack
ami lusiiin-vk is sincere in his profession of
peace. If he had t.ui heen he w uM havu n:cepte-l
the tliree-ye.ar army hi'l instead of in
elating to the last extremity on the .--epieii'ialo.
If he had really meant to provoke war inunediaiely,
three \e?rs would he ample tiiuo in
whieli to crtiali France ami have done with it.
You see, theru could not b<- a long war. In
truth, the e cou'd u-it well ho noire than one

equircl by an order issued by the Comptroller
ieneral to assess all cotton and firm proluct<

look at this as an imposition bcuaus they
liink it no' right to pay lax on cotton that ins

legislature for the order of the Comptroller

such men again. In justice to litem, we cm
