State OF Europs-The Foreign News.
The details of the European Intelligence brought
by the steamship Cambria will be received this
morning, and be published in the afternoon ed-
lions of the Herald, at one and three o'clock.
Enough, however, Of the news has been OBJ
tanned by telegraph and express, TO satisfy us that
the noble and gallant Hungarians are still pur-
suing their career of glory and victory. Further
conflicts have taken place between them and the
Russian and Austrian forces, which in most cases
resulted TO the advantage Of the Hungarans. They
have proved themselves formidable foes and inn
placlble enemies, and have successfully wIthstood
thus far, at all events, the combined Russian and
Austrian military forces that were brought against
them. How mach longer they will be able to hold
out, or how much longer success will attend them,
1t impossible TO predict. They may 60 and
keep alive the contest between liberty and despot-
ism until the reaction in the revolutionary move
nent, which is observed in the South, shall have
subsided, and the revolutionary spirit, crushed
by Popes, Presidents and Princes, shall again
break forth and demollsh every impeachment In its
way.
Ine attitude which France assumed In the Ro-
man question is to be deplored and were it not
for peculiar circumstances, the degenerate Ma
poleon never could have effected what he
has done; fer his acts, we are certain, are
not eoncurred in by the great body OF the
French people. One OF the most influential
of those causes 10 the trouble and continual
excitement produced by the socialist leaders,
II NO attempt had been made by those misguided
men 10 reduce their absurd and impracticable
sheories Concerning government, Its rights, and
s duties by physical force, into Practice-to dis
solve society by the musket, and TO level all orders
and classes of people to one standard, France
would have been, long before this, the TREND and
ally of the Roman and Italian patriots, and very
likely, at this moment, be marshalling her armies
against the Russo-Austrian force. Any govern
nent but one Of anarchy will be submitted to.
Tyranny itself, Of the worst and most dsspouc
kind, is not worse than q state Of anarchy and
confusion, such as would follow any attempt TO
reduce socialism TO practlce-ai least, IN the pre-
sent day. Hence the people Of France rallied in
support Of the government, In opposition TO the So
cialists who have shown continually sprit sub
versiye Of all government, all order, and which
has been attended with the worst consequences
wherever il has been developed. This disposition
