Dy far tlic most interesting item of news brought by the laot Steamer is that of the very great probability of a rupture between France and Knglan-1. It instated that several French journals in different sections of tho empire have published violent articles ngaiiist Knglnnd, which nro known to linvc boon written by government oflietals. EnglanJ is warned that the hour of trial approaches which may put an cud to her greatness forever. A war between these great powers, is to be deprecated, and should hostilities commence, it will be no child's play. The extraordinary enlargement of the French navy, and the military preparations that have been going on in France for more than twelve months, have long since, aroused the suspicion of English Statesmen that these things were intended for Knglnnd.
