WAR IN EUROPE.

Tur long threatened war between Prosi and Anstria seems to have commenced. Steamship Jura arrived at New York on the 28th, (Thursday last,) bringing the news of the entrance of the Prussian troops into Saxony— of the entrance also of the Austrian forces into

the same country, and of the formal declara-

tion of war by Prussia against Austria. It is said that the first battle of the campaign was fought near Leipsic, but no detail is given ; not even is the result of the battle stated in the telegram. The next English Mail direct to Halifax will be looked for with some anxiety, as likely to afford full information coucernang this momentous event. -_- ' We find the following very important infor mation in the Toronto Leader of the 21st
