! The War in Europe-
According to one theory which we have seen
in our exchanges, it was the design of Prussia
. to mate. a cat's paw of 1? pain in engineering that
the Prince of iioLenrolIern' should assume the
crown. It was presumed . that .France would,
after he was likely to become Kicg, toakt a tow
about it; that the Spanish would Hy into a rage;
and that France would engage in war. Prussia
was then to let France do the fighting on Spauish
soil, lending Spaiu what support she could spare
"from the army required to menace France; aud
to invade the latter woeu'a fair chance oflered.
This story ecuiS fjutte plausable, and at all
events, there is probably in it a substratum of
truth. Both Xapoledu and Bisuiark teem to
have -been employed in trying to out-wit each
other. From all that,' we cau learn, neither in
the wjcret treaty, uorj iu any of the diplomatic
couiiuuuicatioos i betwecu them since the buttle
of duwa, docs there dceui to have been an atom
of sincerity yet each ;has the effroutery to ac
cuse the other of bad faith, aud to appeal to
beavtfu in justification of his own cause. ; j
AVe hnpe that thw war will be productive of
one g"od result, t It has been begun by two; am
bitious, scheming, heartless; politicians, who in
time of profound peacej were plotting to blot out
Holland. Belgium and other smaller States from
the map of Kurope. j These States had doue
them no harm, and tlteir ministers, both at the
courts of Frace and Prussia, were all the time
received with marked j honor, little dreaming of
the mine that these two schemers were laying
for them. Therefore, iwhcu the contest ends, we
trut that there will bj a conference among the
power of Ku rope, by tvhich such ambition puay
becutbed in future, aud eflcctual restraint be
placed upon the powcr-of two men to drench' the
continent in blood. j " !

readily, i Those fabrics must be replaced prompt

must be manufactured! somewhere. Kngland
will do a farge parfof this manufacturing, and
will demand increased quantities of cotton to do
it with. ! We shall also do a large share of it,

than it has been since the war. In short we
cannot see any reason for supposing that cotton

seems, extended also toa poor widow, who was

Ash county, North Carolina, whose name he
forged and whose pension he Wketed. If these
facts' cau bo "proved it will gVhard with the

he has had an order issued for the arrest of the

has of late surprisingly j-increased. Even since
the dechiration of war between Franceand Prus-
s:a an eveut which must temporarily check
French fas well as German immigration it! is
curious to learn that one of the most extensive
schemes of immigration1 from France is still be
ing successfully, carried out. Thus a despatch
from St. Louis, which ;was originally a centre
of French colonization,! I informed us yesterday
f the arrival in jthat city of the agent of the

two thousand French; families. After the ter

Europeans of every nation, will swell the flood
