The latest European news is confirmatory of that previously received that; peace will prevail. A telegram received yesterday, dated Berlin 32th instant,, says that Germany strongly urges England and Russia to agree to mutual concessions.. Another, telegram from Constantinople; of the same date, says that the, Porte has intimated,. tp;„ the Powers her acceptance of the terms of tho treaty. This would, of .course; not bind England, and if she considered her rights infringed she would no doubt .be-able to jmake her voice heard:with effect in the matter. But the British nation is anxious to avoid being dragged into war if it can,possibly be avoided, consistently-with the honor of the’ country.’ It seems, therefore, highly probable, that for some time to come there will be peace at home, which will be good news for these, colonies, as their trade and commerce could not be otherwise than injuriously affected in the event of hostilities commencing! England has lately been making every preparation for war, acting on the sound principle that the best means of preventing it is to be well prepared for it.
