We could wish that the Peace Alliance could have ita way, but unfortunately see as yet no sign of such an occurrence. Thore are now going on - I. An internecine war betweeu the re publican governuient of Spain and Don Carlos, the legitímate heir of the Bourbon to the thione. This war hasccniiitued tor some time, with varyiiTg success. Ac present there seems no hopo of a decided vioto-y by either army. II. The war between Cuba and the inother country. ïhis struggle has continued lor years. It has been prosecuted with vigor on both sides and ierocny on one. The end is not yet. III. The war between Eussia and Khiva. The telegram have informed us Utely that Khiva was captured and the Klian couquered. Our morning dispatches contradict this rumor. Kussia, thou g-h she wü doubtless ultimately be sucuessful, wül have to earn her conquest of the Khanatu of Khiva by marching over the deserts of the Kuau and fightiug his soldiers. . . üc yv.-i utiwteii Lile xULCIl aiiu the Sultan of Atcheen. ïhis conflict trilla after the close of the preaem anned neutraüty, break out before ttimy nioiiths with renewed fury. V. The war bet ween Sir Samuel Baker and hia forcea and the slave-dealeis of of the White Nile. Late dispatches show that the painful dt'ath of this hardy explorer and accomplished wife hns no truth in it. Sir Samuel is therefure nowexeeuting his ïuission in the very heart of África. To all these wars must be added the occasional conflicts that occur on the banks of the Rio Grande between the Mexicans and the Texans ; the chronie revolutions bot ween Central and South America; the difficnlties between the English in India and the wild tribes on their northern frontier - difficulties finally to be scttlud only by force of arras ; and the internal struggles, leading to occasional blood shed in most countries of the world, not excepting our own. Peaco uiay come, but it bus not come.
