;Stste OF Affairs In Europe--Arrival OF Fanny
Elssler.
LONDON, April IA, 1910
refer you to the London Morning Post, of April
18th, for information respecting the first hostile pro-
ceeding the part of England against the Sicies.
This measure has sprung out the difficulties of the
Sulphur Trade. Latterly all the protection and ia
vor granted to the English has been withdrawn and
transferred to the French to the great detrment of
English interests and immense loss of English capt.
tai. As negotiation has proved unsuccessful, the
final remedy has been taken; and what will be the
result it is impossible to divine-but this event is
fraught with the most important results. France
will probably maintain her interests that largely
embarked in this trade; and SO much rival feeling,
amounting almost to hostility, has latterly been
prevailing between these two unfriendy allies that
q war between them is not at all unlikely. The
King Louis Philippe, is prudent monarch, and
has hitherto resorted to negotiation, and
eral trying occasions has preserved tbs general
peace; but in this too much national feeling will
be excited to dare to contrel-resisting il might be
as dangerous as it would be unsuccessful. The cry
60 Aux Armes," once flung upon the breeze, will
be echoed in every part OF this nfiammable land
"a general war will ensue-blood and carnage will
grow familiar-and Europe will groan under the
ture is no one can blind himself to the immense ad
vanages likely to accrue to us from such state of
things The trade of the world will again be in the
hands of the Americans, and prosperity and wealth
will flow in upon in overwhelming tide.
The English Wings and Radicals are in great good
humor at the late escape from tory vote Of censure
the question Of the expediency OF theChinese war
IL is well known there has been great neglect the
part of the Foreign Secretary He has left for months
back the most important dispatches unnoticed, and
that perhaps among other has led to the pre-
popular in England among the lower classes, who
fear their favore beverage Of tea will be Withdrawn
from them. The price has already greatly risen The
Tories seized favorable an opportunity, brought
forward the subject with great ability but to the
tonishment of all parties they failed entirely in
vote of condemnation This may be attributed chief
ly to a stern determination TO punish the vulgar in
science Of these supercilious barbrians, and more
than all, to avail themselves of the occasion to
improve and increase the advantages of their trade
The arrival Of Europe's idol, Fanny Essler, upon
shores, may be considered an event oil no little
importance in our dramatic annals-she comes TO us
with all her blushing honors thick upon her-she
has left Europe under circumstances the most ex-
traordinary-after resisting the most pressing re-
quests nav urgent enreates of the Director Of the
French Opera, to remain in Paris, aud who backed
his desires with offer to double all her very
large appointments, she came to England, played
short engagement Of four weeks, at the rate OF $50
guneas per night-refusing the most brilliant offers
to continue her stay; but more striking STILL mes
senger arrived from Berlin, with request that
must have been looked upon as a command,
by her, from one Of her earliest friends,
and most enthusiastic admirers the King Of Prussia
He wished her to come 20 Berlin; but she escaped
by pleading her previous engagement with the Park
Theatre. In the face, then, Of the wishes OF her
family, who have resolutely opposed her coming to
America-ia spite Of the most splendid offers from
the French aud English operate the annoyance
Of the Prussian King, and TO the astonishment
of all Europe, she has paid us the high compliment
of visit, that we cannot appreciate too highly
She has been animated by double motive, to see a
people Of whom she has heard much, and respects
so highly, and from high sense OF honor, in fulfill
ing contract, that circumstances had absolved her
from. Her last night in London was probably the
most remarkable fsfe that the habitues Of the Lon
don opera house ever witnessed. Nothing more bril-
liant and imposing can well be conceived The house
was crowded with a fas hionable auditory. The no.
bility came forward ndsse, headed by Queen
Victoria and her gallant husband-the Queen Dow
ayer was also present with alarge suite.
The appearance Of the house was magnificent,
well worth the cxtravagant sums freely given for
piaces-the price Of the boxes several guiacas
during the day-the applause bestowed on the
peerless dancing, and the inimitable grace oi the
enchanting beni6ciare universal and ieaiening;
every successful stroke Of art was Acknowledged
by reclamation, and throughout her wonderful
performance, cries Of bravo the most enthusiastic
and hearty ever heard in the walls OF Theatre,
were showercd most prod gally upon her. But who
will attempt TO describe the extraordinary scene
that ensued at the closet At the express command
of the Queen, Fanny Elssler came forward; her APP
pearance was the signal for an overwh lining shout
Of welcome, accompanied with waving Of handker-
chiefs, and the tossing OF bouquets. After bowling
her grateful Acknowledgements to the Queen, she
turned to the audience, touched and subdued by
these pleasing, fattcring tokens Of their regard,
and with an carncstness OF manner, and an
auisite grace, infinitely beyond the reach Of art
she curtescd her grateful sense OF their enthusi-
astie admiration, and waved her parting adieu
Prince Albert rose up in his box. and wished
her "bon voyage" This royal mark Of favor
Immediately followed by the whole house, and she
