THE CONTINENTAL STRIFE.
There are many signs (writes a Home paper) of the fast approaching dissolution of the Turkish Empire. Austria, Russia, and Germany are beginning, to wrangle among each other as to the way in which the Ottoman territory is to be divided. Hence the noise about tbe visit of M. Giers to Prince Bismarck and his marked attention to the Pope. Germany does not want any part of tbe Sultan's dominions. But if Austria pushes on to the Bosphorous, Prince Bismarck is resolved to advance all the way. to Trieste. Eussia will not be satisfied with extension merely in Asia. France, the nation which should not be confounded with Bourse rings, is pacific. She is indifferent to what goes on in Tuqis and in Egypt. But were Germany suddenly to extend herself from the Baltic to the Adriatic, we might expect the French to put in a claim for the provinces lost in 1870-71. It is therefore to be feared that the disruption of tbe Turkish Power will be a signal for military strife on the Continent.
