We must not, in general, believe that the five
great powers of Europe ever capable OF acting
in concert with one another. They have long ago
been divided into the northern and western powers
whose interests materially opposed 10 one another
and the northern powers themselves have again, con-
iicting interests, and are pnrang diisrent histori'
cal routes. The European powers, in one word,
are no unit, and incapable Of acting as SUCH and
they have, each Of them, a certain dead weight to
with their own people, before their inilu'
ence can he felt abroad. The people of all Europe

be to our progress for the prestige throughout Eu
rope has departed from royalty, and the masses,
suredy have no antiquarian predictions in favor
of crowns and sceptres. Let US, therefore, make
ourselves easy on that subject. Each kingdom Of
Europe has its Ysndse when the standing army is
ordered the frontier; and each far in debt that
the interest OF that debt forms the principal item Of
its budget. To use a witty term of the ChGrtuaTi,
all Europeans are "budgetivorous" animals but
they cannot digest more than certain quantity;
and regards the debts themselves they all have,
with few exceptions, the honesty and stralghtfor'
wardness OF Figaro, the immortal barber Of Seville,
who would sooner remain the everlasting debtor Of
his creditors, than deny the debt for single in
slant. They pay interest in time Of peace, resery-
ing to themselves simply the privilege Of fixing the

The Polish revolution is at end; but new con-
spraeies have been discovered in various parts Of
that unfortunate country. In Italy an outbreak Of
the patriots of Ia giopins Italia Is daily expected; in
Spain the revolution of Galcia has been put to the
sword while others preparing; and in Portugal
the disorders great that the gurrIsOns OF all
the large cities constantly under arms to defend
the Cabral ministry against the Infatuated people.
So you see the monarchica institutions of Europe
are productive of as many revolutions, and suscep-
uble of as much msrule as unfortunate Mexico;
and the question might be propounded seriously,
whether order and quiet might not be restored by
transforming these monarchies into confederate re-
publics. The thing, feel sure, would be quite as
reasonable as an European interference in the affairs

P. s. Prince Louis Napoleon has escaped from his
Iailors For some time past, negotiations set
on foot to berate him condtonally and Mr.
Duchatel, the minister Of the interior, went
far as TO correct letter containing some offensive
expressions, which the prince had written to him,
asking for his release. Every one except ministers
are glad that the problem was solved in so natural
manner. The prince escaped IN laborer's clothes,
and his fight remained undiscovered for ten hours.

quues a supplementary credit for the minister of the
interior, M. Duchatel Not that the opposition
whose avowed head NJ. Theirs now is, expected to
obtain vote in the Chamber corroborating their
sentiments, and leaving the ministry in the minority
but chiefly to afford its members opportunity of
speaking their sentiments in addressing the voters
on the approaching elections. M Theirs opened

wit, and vituperative sarcasm. M. Guizot followed

He was thus taken between the leader of the left
