There has been « great deal of writing and protesting, of marching and counter marching of troops, of interviews with deputations, requests of annexation and appeals against an- nexation, In a word, the diplomatic world in Western and Centra] Europe has becn greatly agitated, and that it may all end peaceably and satisfactorily, is our sincere desire.
