FROM EUROPE.-THEC ALEDONIA'S
MAIL.


The following comprehensive summary we copy
from the New York Express:
The weeks later news from all parts OF Europe
which we spread before readers in this Evenings
Express, is full Of interest," and cannot fail to
mand as it deserves, the attentive perusal of the
American reader. Romc-repuJljcan Rome-is in
the hands of the French With this result Of course,
nobody is disappointed. 1t expected. But we
confess we cannot very clearly ehend the
what mysterious manmuvering of the municipal
authorities inside the walls with the agents Of the
French outside, which, are told, preceded the
final capitulation. The people of Rome held out
long and bravelv, and the determined defiance they
repeatedly flung in the teeth Of the French dlplo-
mats when, now and then coaXcd to surrender, had
anly prepared to expect much more desperate
resistance to the ngress OF Oudnot than it appears
has been made. But why marvel now, at even the
most glaring Inconsistencies in the conduct OF what
we told is European Repubicanlsm Never
theless cannot divest ourselves OF the belief that
something more has been going on behind the cur
tain than the official revelations in the National As
semby, or the labored editorials OF the French Gov
eminent organs disposed Just now to disclose
A Thousand rumors ahoat-one, not the most i'm
probable that the demand for capitulation was
made by the municipality, who may be supposed to
represent the commercial and industrial interests Of
Rome. If this be true-and it is plausible enough
the demand for capiuatiOn would seem to be sepa-
rated from the political question altogether But,
further, it is openly intmated that the French Com
mander had been instructed to profer protection, not
only against the inroads of Austria, and the other
Catholic allies of Plus the Ninth, but even against
the resumption OF authority by His Holiness him
self Tickle and foolish has been the foreign
policy of France since the accession OF the present
Administration, cannot realize that it has stu
titled itself in the eyes of the world. Nay, can
with less difficulty believe suspicion which was
whispered about namely, that French gold did more
to open the gates of the Eternal City for the outside
barbarans than all the bomb shells and battering-
rams of Oudnot could do. The next foreign mail,
perhaps will throw some light on this last dark
chapter in the history of French Republican q
finesse.
But what is to be the next act in the farce ? Is
the Pope to be restored Are the Roman people to
submit tamey to the outrage and insult heaped upon
them by an enemy disguised as a friend With an
army of $4,000 men in italy, what shape is French
policy there next to assume2 Look at it in what
light may, cannot see that the surrender
of Rome does not still more complcate the Italian
question, easily raised, but now found so difficult
to solve. French pride, however, has for the moment
been gratifed. Yet the triumph, gained howsoever
it has been, is at best empty one and so, before
long, think, it is likely to prove. The news from
Italy will now be more interesting than ever.
From other parts Of Europe our advices are of no
| extraordinary Importance The accounts from Hun
gary look somewhat disastrous to the cause OF hber-
ty there but it should not be forgotten that what
news have from that quarter comes mainly
through Austrian channels, and not therefore over
likely to give us impartial version of events
which go to favor in the least the Hungarian
The Austrans boast of having compelled their op-
ponents TO retire eastward, in the direction of the
Thesis If we believe the Austrian accounts, some
actions have taken place, in which the Hungarians
suffered severe losses. The Russian armies were
said to be making movements in the rear of the
Hungarians, for the purpose of cutting off their re-

policy of the Hungarans to retire to the strong in

combat with the Overwhelming numbers of their
foes with more hopes of success.

happy to learn, is likely to bring about total
