La trat from Europe The New York papers of the 19th bring us the news by the Peruvian, from Londonderry, June 8th. and the China, from Queenstown,,June 10. We published ou Tuesday the markets by these arrivals, and now subjoin a brief summary of the po? litical news: The casus belli of the two great German powers, Austria and Prussia, had been driven to the most extreme point, and war was generally regarded aa already commenced, although no official declaration had been made, nor any direct blow delivered. On the 7th of June, a division of tho Prussian army, commanded by Gen. Fliess, crossed the river Eider and entered Holstein, under orders, it was said, to occupy Rendsburg, Kiel and Itzehoe. Next day, they entered Rendsburg. The Austrian garrison on duty in the town met them in a friendly spirit, and with? drew from the place; a cordial part? ing having taken place between them as soldiers of the German Confedera? tion. The Austrians in Kiel ware under command of Gen. Von Gablenz. They were retiring to Altona, and the General, with his staff, had al? ready arrived there. Gen. Von Ga blenz was, it was said, ordered from Vienna to avoid a conflict in Hol? stein, and, as in the German Diet, the representatives of both powers addressed the people, each endeavor? ing to prove that the other was in the wrong and the aggressor. The Prus? sian representative in the Diet luid not yet left Frankfort, as when that step is taken, diplomatic relations between the Courts of Vienna and Berlin will be completely broken off. Italy stood behind Prussia, but it was said in London that Russia stood in the rear of Austria, so that the conflict, likely to be commenced at the very spot where the original "wrong" was perpetrated against Denmark, may eventually extend from the Baltic to the Black Sea. France will not take an active part in the war, unless her "national honor or interests" render it imperative. Italy would commence hostilities us soon as war was declared. Spain and Portugal have ooncluded a common bond of neutral alliance in the event of a European war. The ex-rel>el American Commander Maury had, as a Mexican citizen, brought to Napoleon's notice the merits of an "immense" torpedo in? vented by himself. Cholera had appeared at Nantes, in France, and was making fatal ravages in Holland. - The financial condition of England is reported "favorable." It is said that tho rate of discount is likely to be reduced soon. The most wide? spread distress was occasioned by the failure of Agra & Mosterman's Lon? don Bank. It was found that the lia? bilities of Messrs. Overoud, Gurney <fc Co., foot np ?23,000,000. Another heavy failure is reported. The Neue Friedenblatt asserts that Austria regards the entry of Prussian troops into Holstein as a breach of tjtp Gastien Convention, and the pos? sible occupation of Holstein as casus belli. The Duke de Grammont has gone from Paris to Vienna, and his mission is said to be a last effort for concilia? tion. He had a conference with Count Mensdorif and an audience with the Emperor of Austria* Mens? dorif is stated to have positively maintained the grounds of thu Aus? trian reply to the invitation to the conference. The Russian Cabinet Courier reach? ed Vienna on the 7th, with an auto? graph letter from the Czar to tho Emperor. Count Bismarck had issued an im? portant despatch, dated June 4th, to ?h? Priiaa?oT? representatives abroad, alluding iu very bitter terms towards : the Austrians; and in one passage he 1 ; says: "All our information argues that the determination to make war by AuRtria is finally settled in Vien? na." On the other hand, it is assert ed that Prussia Las been most conoi- J liatory for pence, but a correspond- ] ing fooling no longer exists. At Vienna, not only was there manifest? ed an entire absence of all readiness to outer into confidential negotiation and discuss the possibilities of agree? ment, but the expressions of tho in? fluential Austrians and statesmen and counsellors of thc Emperor have been reported to tho King, from au au? thentic source, which leave no doubt lhat the Imperial Ministers desire war at any price-partly in hope of successes in the field, partly to tide over domestic difficulties; nay, even with tho expressed intention of assist? ing Austrian finances by honorable bankruptcy. We can sec a decided intention on thc part of Austria of forcing a war with Prussia, and of almost making use of negotiations us to a Congress, to gain time by pro? crastination for her not entirely com? pleted arrangements, but especially for those of lier allies. The fact of a war is a settled determination at Vi? enna, and the only point is to choose a favorable moment to begin. Re? ferring to the Duchies, Bismarck says it will not be difficult to understand the motives of thc armaments by which Austria has given rise to the present crisis, and whose removal by means of a Congress she has further taken care to render impossible by the attitude ?ho has assumed. The Times says: Such a despatch has not often been penned by a Eu? ropean Minister. The Prussian states? man seems, now, to think courtesy unnecessary in bis communications with Austria. All the pride, the bit? ter hostility and the almost fanatical purposes which had been necessarily repressed during the long negotia? tions, broke forth, when negotiations may bo considered at an end. Til? despatch breathes the spirit of war, and seems to have been written in I anticipation of an immediate rupture. I The London Telegraph says: Witl; this despatch, the lost hopes of peact have disappeared, and hostilities hnv? become inevitable. ?-.-??-?- - ? Prom VV ml? In gt o ii. An inkling of the President's in disposition in the matter of Illinois appointments transpired recently when, as reported, a Congress m ai called at the White House to secur< an office for a constituent, who wa? recommended by Senators Trumbul and Yates. Mr. Johnson examinee tho papers for a moment, and asked significantly, "Has Mr. O. H. Brown ing recommended him? I wish yoi would get bis recommendation." The inference is that he will here after be governed by the advice ant recommendation of known friends ii such cases. It is said in the New York Tribun that Mr. Seward would not agree ti transmit the new amendment to tb? several States without the President' signature, and, therefore, the officer of Congress were ordered to send it The voice of Congress is certain!; very warlike, and it will not be ; matter for surprise if tho resolutioi recently introduced by Schenck, in structing the Committee on Foreigi Relations to consider the propriety o reconsidering the neutrality laws does not have the effect of vitiatinj their power in no small degree Action in the Fenian cause is bein) cut and dried, and such assurance have been given President Robert that he does not hesitate to predic another invasion of Canada ere lonjj and to-night, in a speech to aband c Fenians who complimented him witl a serenade, he characterized thc prc olamation of neutrality as a b;use an un-Americau edict.
