Great unenHiness prevails on the Continent because of the wild rumours-that are in oir. oulation concerning the vast preparations that the German and Austrian Governments are making in the shape of war materials. December 27. 'The German Ambassador at Russia has taken a-peaceful message from the Osar to Prince Bismarck, The following remarks on tbe situation are from “ Puff” :—Sa isbury d >es not think there will he an immediate European war but that when hostilities do o m nencc, i' will be without any war ing ! He’s a first rate authority on Foreign Affdrs'! He understands that subject thoroughly, and no doubt he’s emirelv behind the acenes I I wonder what makes him think hoeti'ities will commence without any warning I Shall I tell you I Yes, do I He means that the AHI s are well aware of Russia’s movements, and the instant they are sati-fied that she's bent on war, they will give her a crushing blow, wi hout waiting for her to begin I Oh, t here won’t be any shillv shally about it, you'll see!
