EUROPEAN WAR
The Emperor NAPOLEON understands
the art or keeping up popular interest, and
would certaiuly do a thriving business as
the manager of some theatre or opera. In
case he should lose his high office in Paris,
it might not be amiss for him. to turn his
attention in that direction, as the stage is
certainly the place where he can turn his
impromptus, his complications, his sur
prises, to account. The telegraph drily
informs us that Louis N.A.POLEoti asked ot
Prussia an esiension of the frontier of
France on the Rhine, but that no reply had
as yet been given. In these few words we
have before us ono of those famous nuts
which he gives to the world to crack every
• once in a while. Some time ago a similar
demand would not have surprised us. At
present it conies to us entirely unexpected.
It is only a feW weeks since NaPOLEON re
ceived a slap in his face which might have
cured any ordinary man from the desire of
interference. In fact, the world laughed
at him ; he had become the object of ridi
cule, when—all at once—lie makes his ap
pearance again, and, with his well-known
audacity and impudence, makes his demand
for an increase of territory. We have too
often dwelt on the character of this man to
dwell ou it now ; but we should like to un
derstand the cause of this new move of his.
Is he ashamesLof his failure, and does he
went to regain his position by bolder at
temptsl Let hint beware. It is danger
ous to play with Fate and to conjure up
combinations, of which one may not be
master. It is now to be seen whether
Prussia will stand firm, or veliether she
will - prefer the favor of this single man to
the good-will of a nation. Rather a war
against Prance, than the cession of one foot
of German territory! That is the senti
ment of the German nation, and he
who interprets and uses it aright,
is the master of the situation. If
war against Austria was disliked in Pres
-
sin, war agaicist France would be received
with enthusiasm, and not only in Prussia.
All the other Statei would range them
selves under the banner of that State, which
would lead them against the old national
foe. We know this, but NaPOLEOIS
knows it also, and yet his demand! • That
is what perplexes us. Ile cannot wish a
war with Germany; ie cannot desire to
furnish the cement necessary to unite it,
end yet he acts as if this were his desire.
lie cannot count on Prussia's timidity, for
the has just given him a clear and strong
hint to mind his business. If he doubles
the dose of insolence in his second note, 1.14.
has no right to complain, if the response Ts
spiced in a similar manner. Prussia can
not, must not yield; one retrograde move
ment and her enemies will push her from
step to step and never stop until her Mlle
ellen is gone and her position lost. Now
is the time to hold out; now it will be seen
whether BlBltAltit is made of the right
metal! Let him persevere and Itheotnon,
either defeated in open fight, or pushed to
:the wall in diplomatic contest, will fall,
•': never to rise again. We must confess, we
• look with-renewed interest for further de
: velopments.
In regard to the smaller German States,
much will depend on Pruesia's reply to Na
poleou's note, as to the shape of their con
duct. At present they all hasten to make
their peace with-Prussia, and are receiving
a favorable reception, with the exception
of Hanover, thi ambassador of whose King
• has been refused admittance in Berlin.
This was occasioned by the perfidious con
duct of the Guelph, and looks to us as a
pretty sure indication that Prussia intends
''to retain the kingdom. Bavaria, Baden,
- '"? ,, Wartemberg, etc., have all closed special
• tirmlatitss: thereby refuting our previously
Mated opinion, that they had been 'included
In the Austrian truce. The feeling of these
• States to Prussia will, as we said above,
depend ranch On her future conduct, With
a little prudence and forbearance she can.
i soon realize all her wishes,
* . Italy and Austria have %gait. stepped into ,
closer relations. We Itnew this would be

Mesta seems still to make a little fuss,

burg to prepare We way for a better under

veriAwrious nature. Russia Is related to
several of thew German lenses, just now
