Threatening Appearances in Europe.

The latest intelligence from Europe shows an increasing probability ot a rupture between France and England, with chances for a general war. The warlike preparations of the French Emperor are still goinoforward, and on a large scale. His purpose of sustaining his ally in the difficulties with China, is reported to be abandoned. Spain has declared war against Morocco, and should England become involved, as is threatened, the two leading Western Powers may speedily come in collision with each other. The former rumors of a serious outbreak at Palermo, are confirmed. Affairs in Italy are not essentially changed. ofs~The Harper’s Ferry correspondent ol the New York Tribune says that Governor Willard, in consequence of his connection with Captain Cook, is very suspiciously regarded by the Virginians. They don’t feel sure that he is not an “abolitionist.” The newspapers have intimated that he was a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” After u life of devotion to slaveholders, and their* institution, such suspicions of the Governor are the worst of ingratitude.
