'The cloud that'has long ; been ga tbering in : Europe has burst.; By the i-arrival of, the - Steamship Ci y of - Washington we learn that the ihena- - cinjj armies of France and Ai ha,ve : at last had an engagement on , " the plains of Italy, which resulted in'the-tttk!St xSfIiolatterT-trlrffn-loss of between ; seven and eight hun m . tired nu n. The battle occurcd on the I 21st ult:. at Montebello the same i-fc ' , U place -at which Napoleon; the I., achieved a brilliant victoiy. once All hopes , of a peaceful "adjustment of the matter without an appeal to arms is thus put an end to. The contest between two such nations as France and Austria assisted, by .their allies, -V .must be any thing but -c iHd's play, temple of iceof li li as the use 'and we . fear before ; the Janus is closcdTthc sacri man life will be immense of .fire-arms has been reduced to such a! science that the firing of ar - mics-upon each, other ,is j productive of tliej most serious results. "We ' wouldnot be at all surprised if this battle. whieli was. gained Jj the , French army undcr; the command of Napoleon 11 1., though not without a loss, was but the opening ef a cam faign Which will be as -destructive in 1 its efi'ccts as the wars- caused bv the "" insatiable" ambition of Napoleon the ' 1. This waif has been brewing for years, but luiis not until now reached "s that pgint at i which an appeal to arms was the only way to Kettle the difficulty. Most of our readers are aware what the causes are: that have brought about this state of things in Europe, and therefore a repetition of them is wholj xmt-uessary ; suffice, it : to say, hat thc-principle onoj of which is that j Austria" from tlio contiguity of her; Lombard-Venetiin , pos sessions to the Sardinian territory,' is . jealous of the influence, that; may, by J .the comparitive free institutions, be exeried upon the country over which . she rules, as it were with ai rod of iron. That Victor Emanuel acted right in T disdainfully rejecting' the liumiliat- ing proposition made by Austria f r ?tlie disarming of his country, which J rejection soon brought Ihings to a focus, can not, we. thinky be dollied ; and. therefore lie goes into the; war with the consolation that he has not provoked it, but is fighting in self defence. Though, however right Sar- diuia . .may have been, in; ta i "1 T 1 Til ing the oct, that ' step sue lias sne couia moti ex t ' ! -i from! tlie inequality of strength exists between l.erself and enemy, tb- conie out victorious without' the as sistance of France. Although Enjr land; still holds a neutral position; yet she cannot do so long. She will inevit- ablv be drawn in the vortex. The side sjio will assist in the even t of her engag fngin the struggle, we think, fsoni the signs of the times, will be the same one whose cause Franc has espoused. Austria will certainly hayeher hands full in cpntending with those power ful nations with her finances in the cenr'iticn tlipyare So bad is her credit, both at home and abroad, -that she can not obtain a loan on iany terms, lit is ceitainly a happy thing for us as a nation that we are sol iar ' removed from the scene of strife, for were I we near we "would be certain v to get entangled iii the meshes of the disturbance'. "Thii flext news from Europe lryvy be lepked for with con siderable interest, for now the bail is once set in motion, it will be kept moving, and battle after -battle Swill follow each other in rapid succession.

We often hear and see this phrase used by. the speakers and ; journals of -the opposition, but have never found out what was: meant by it, having not' until now1 had the curios ity to inquire. We suppose, however, the idea intended to! be conveyed is that we as "a party, are sailing under false colors that is, , passing our selves off under a namcMo which we are not entitled. r2sow we 'do'-not know what their meaning of the worll Democracy is, or whether they adniit that a real Democratic party has-ever' ex isted in this country, for they have been making this - cry j al most ever since this government be eraii': but this much we do know ,gtri?jkhat the principles advocated by the party upon which they are f continu ally heaping abuse, arc exactly the eon -in every particular as those) which snoi aid .be advocated '! by a Democratic; ivarty We ooriie exactly under the definition given of the term i At . - by the gieat lcxicographerjJjiWebsterl We fear that their idea of ; a' Demo cratic, party is so grand that nothing can come up to it, and hence they are prone to call a party bogus, that does not conform to their1 concep tions.
