The news by the laie papers looks war
like. The whole political horizon of the
globe appears to be in state, which
would require but spark to light into
one general war and it will certainly re-
quire great political sagacity in rulers,
Joined with a strong manifestation of de-
sire for peace by the people, to avoid fam
ming these exciting causes into a fierce
flame. Russia has declared war against
Khiva, is assuming threatening attitude
in other quarters, and is still vigorously
pushing her operations against Circassia,
Notwithstanding late loss of 10000
men, and at the same time grasping at the
British dominions in the East Egypt
and Turkey are watching each other, rea-
dy to spring, but held in leash by the
great powers of Europe. England is fit
ting out a vast armament to humble China,
which will meet force by force, and thus
the two greatest empires will be brought
into collision. The naval icalousies be-
tween France and England appear to be
increasing, while the Northeastern bound
ary question, between the United States
and the latter power, is reviving with
much rin,ual recrimination. Orders have
been give to place the whole disposable
naval force of the United States in imme-
date readiness for active service. Abdel
Kader, at the head of the Arabs, and as
sisted by the Emperor of Morocco, has
renewed the war against the French colo
ny at Algicrs - who have brought IS 900
troops into the field. In short, .hichever
way we look, we behold nations putting
themselves in martial array, as if the
"signs of the tines foreboded a coming
contest. Those who have faith i'm the old
maxim, that ''to be prepared for war will
best secure peace" can look with pleas
ure upon these omens, and expect quiet
and prosperity. But the experience of
the world has always shown, that those
who carry arms are the most ready to use
them.
