The Coming War In Europe.—'Ion,' the Baltimore Sun's Washington correspondent, writes, under date of the 28th:

Several ministers of foreign powers, now here, have lately received advices showing that war in Europe may and probably will soon break out. Should it once commence, no one can tell where it will end or what countries may become involved! If war be confined to France, Austria, and Sardinia, it will be of some benefit to the United States. Should all Italy and a great part of Germany, and especially England, become engaged in it, then it will be of incalculable benefit to the United States, by giving us a ready market for all exportable commodities, and profitable employment for our shipping. The only question is, whether we shall have any surplus of breadstuffs to export. Flour could now be imported from Europe at a profit, and so abundant is grain in England that it cannot be imported into that country, from any part of the world, without a loss. It would seem that the United States is at present behind all the rest of world in agricultural productions, of a kind necessary for subsistence, and our products do not increase in proportion to the increase of population, and the extension of settlements in the West. Perhaps, however, we may do better the coming season in this respect, and be prepared to furnish to the nations of Europe a supply of the products of our peaceful industry.
