When the Kiug OdieiW $63, how
eOer, it was found that the popular
Partyin Gormany ere ;.y no .eans,
disposed to acquiesoe- in the arrange.

is German, and has always beon . a
member of the Germnn CoOferderati9n,

and there was a gnprat outery againit

cution"- was ordered-that is the
troops of the Confederation were or
dered to turn him out, and put the
Duke of Augustenburg in possession.
Up to this point Prussia and Austria
had stood aloof. The dbveipnts

popular one, they would have nothing

In February of this y.ear, Bismuark

rope--;impudently and brusquely gave
her notipe that he wished her to evac.
uato 1olptcin., She was naturally
some,wa0 taken aback by thi.s arro.
gant demand, and declined conipli..
ance. About this time some disturb
nces broke out anong the Jew.s in
'ohinia'. Austrta mo ved troops up
to restore order,.and Bismark at once
cried out that-she was arming. She
denied it : he insioted that she wa.,
and hd at once began to put the Prus
gialn amipy on a 'War footing, and sent
agqnte-into Italy.to stir up the Ital
iansa7nd, it is strbngly suspected, on
tered Into a secret Convention with
Victor Xmnanudl.
On perceiving the movement in Ita
ly,Austria began to. strengthen her
forces in Venotin. Bismark affected
to regard this ns another threat and
pushed on his preparations with great
or vigor than' over, but offered tq let
the Austrian corps in Holstein retire
unmiolested. The f'notes' which have
been 'sncelInterchanged are mere for
uttie. '"PruSSia is clearly deter
mnin'neon'iryinig conclusions with Au8
tria, and the manner in which the
quarrel has begun and carried on
leaves no room for an honor#bte exit
to either party, Aor does it seen that
anything except Bismark's or the
King's death could now avert an ap
peal to arms. The confident manner
in which the Italians aremovin'g to the
attack leaves very little doubt that the
whole programme is already made out.
It iP; of course, impossible to pre
diet with 'confidence the course
i All iake. But it' is ieasona

driven frot Venice and out of the
duehiez;-that'at,a later stage of the
conflf6t, Fritylee will intervene and
claim the left bapk of the Rhine, per.
mitting Prussia to compensate herself
by the absoiption of the smaller Ger

We regret to be compplied to believe
that snch should be the fact. And we
hope that the friends of the Union,
both North and Smich. should still elect

The War in Europe
The great contest bet ween Priissis
and Austria opened on tie 15th of June
by a movement en the part of Prussia.
This movement was throwing troops
into Saxony,.which lies between Prussia
and Austria. Saxony is one of tile
German States, and it sides with Aus.
tria. Dresderi is the capital, and lies
about midway between the southern
boundary of Prussia 'and the northern
boundary of Austria, about twenty miles
from each. On tire 19th lilt. tile Prus.
sians occupied Dresden, tire King of
Saxony withdrawing to Bohemia, the
most northern province of Austria. His
army effected a junction with the Aus
trians.
On the same day, the 19th, Prussia
and Italy declared war against Austria.
On the 23di tihe Italian Army crossod
the Mincio, the.river separating'Venetia
from the Kingdom of Italy.
The Austrians began to move on the
18th, on which day they crossed into
Silesia the most eastern part of southern
Prussia, which forms tie northern bonn.
dary of Austria for about two hundred
miles.
The Prutssians have occupied Moch
ernr also, with ablout thirty thlousand
troops. Mochern is but two miles from
Leipsi, a large city in northwesit, Saxo,
ny and tire scene of one of Napoleon's
great battles ian 181-3.
Austria has 350,000 men to oppose
the Prussiansa on thetnorthr, anid 250,000
to contend wvith the ttalians on the
south. 'But threrm are about 50,000
Federal troop,4te4e Frankfurt, a Free
City in the~ westerf part of t,be G"rmnau
States, and the seat of tihe Federal
Diet.
These.are acting against Prussia also
One fight has , OCedred bet,ween the
Prussians 'and tire flesslans, the latter a
part of the Federpl narmy. The Hessians
were def,-ated. Tise fight occurred
near Frankfort.
