The News.
The steamship Europa, which arrived at this port
yesterday brought us three days later, news from
Europe. The intelligence, in several respects, is
highly interesting. The most important political
topic is the disclosure of the contents Of dplo
matte correspondence between the late Prince
Schwarzenburg and the cabinets of Berlin and
st. Petersburg, in reference to the government set
up by Louis Napoleon, and the prospect of his re-
establishment ot tho empire II appears that

STA the recognition of the empire under Louis
Napoleon. in consideration Of his important SER
vices 10 the of law and order in Eu-
rope, in the extinguishment of those revolar
tionary clements in France which threatened
to revive the whole Continent, in 1852,
the revolutionary scenes Of 1913. The cabi-
nets however, Of Prussia and Russia, could not
with the conciliatory suggestions of the
Austrian Prime Minister. They object to the re-
cognition Of the empire, because it may demand
the boundaries of the empire the military supre-
macy and activity of the empire; and, above all,
the dynasty of the empire. Louis Napoleon not
being legitimist-not a sovereign by right Of
descent, "Dei graita, they cannot admit him
into the legitimate family Of the despots. They
appeal, therefore, to the treaties of the Holy ALI
ancc, lSI4-15; and their first declared object and
and policy is to keep Louis Napoleon quiet, and in
the attitude Of locit teS,ens-a sovereign by suf
ierance for the time being. But notwithstanding
this omnous position of Russia and Prussia, and
the denial of the Paris Monaear, in behalf Of Louis
Napoleon, he is expected, on the occasion Of the
grand military review Of the 10th Of this month, to
intiate, if he does not proclaim the restoration of
The empire. Not only so. but the projected camp of
0,00O men, at Compiegne, seems to have created
an impression in England that the empire win be
followed up by aggressive war. Unquestionably
the peace of Europe depends upon the course of
France; but we presume the empire can and will be
rc-established in due season, without mourning the
alternative of war, unless Louis Napoleon should
desire TO provoke it-a desire which he has not yet
betrayed He evidently understands his game.
The most important subject of discussion in the
English Parliament, has been the question Of re-
eharterng the East India Company, whose present
charter expires in 1854 As the immense powers OF
this company involve the government Of hundred
and fifty millions Of people, with constant
fions of populous territories by fRtbnsterng expedi
tons, the subject Of charter may well be
sidcred grave and weghty question of legislation.
The arrival Of two tons and half of gold dust ut
London in single vessel from australia, had
created a prodigious sensation in the English
capital and will 10 doubt be followed up by English
emigrations, only exceeded by the exodus from
ireland to America, and by speculations which
