Prospects in Europe.

Those who oppose the mission of Kos
suth in the United States would fam have
it believed that all causes of disturbance
are extinct in Europe, and that the order
whichnow reigns there triumphant, is sure
TO reign undisturbed for years. For if
France, Italy, Germany and Austria long
remain submissive to the tyranny which
row prevails, it is plain there can be no
present hope for Hungary. We are given
to understand that thew viii 90 -e'"-'-.
And thus, by natural consistency, the OPP
ponents of the great advocate Of liberty
toke the ground and plead the cause of the
whole bevy of despots who afIlct and ruin
that continent.
But what reason is there for supposing
that Europe Is long to lie prone beneath the
feet of its present rulers Where is the
material, where the moral, where the reli-
gious power that will keep SO many nations
enchanted Is il in France, whose annual
expenditures exceed its revenue by thirty
millions Of dollars, at the lowest estimate,
to say nothing of the enhanced cost Of an
imperial establishment Is it in France,
where during three-quarters Of a century
there have been some dozen different gov
ernments, of which the longest lived en-
dared but eighteen years, and where the
people are now more severely taxed, aud
thOusandfold more opulent in the germs
If discomfort than ever! Is it ia France,
where the successful usurper dares not and
will aot dare TO uDmuzzle the press, and
has no other reliance than on his army
Is 1t in France, where the leaders of all
the great political parties have been in
suited ard Inundated, and where conspir-
acy and assassination Of the tyrant must
become the order of the day Verify,
those who can see probabilities Of per-
maneLce for the present despot Of FRI nee,
must have some sangHine affection for him
and his system to sharpen their vi
sion. No man ever took power under
greater difficulties than he; never was
power more entirely wanting in every mo-
raj. intellectual and material basis of dura-
ton.

Influence of the Roman Catholic Church
suffice to conserve these bloody and inhu
man rulers and institutions Why. that
Church has to rely on foreign mercenaries
for the little show OF temporal authority it
stUl exercises over its ancient 81 Die Is, and
according TO all the testimony, if there be
any country where faith in the religion of
Inc Church leads to scquiescence in the
politics cherished by its directors, that
country is not Italy. Italy is volcano,
kept down solely by the weigh. of cannon
aid bayonets on the surface. Il is not
there that We must seek for the hope of
European conservatism.
Is it IN Austria, that empire plunged in
the abysses Of bankruptcy, with currency
utterly worthless, industry PROSTATE, COM
merce stagnant, with the spirit of rebel
lion fercely smOuldering IN the provinces
ltwere folly TO suppose this tostenng mon
archy to contain single element of tran
guilty save the army, which is made up
very largely Of disaifected men who will
not lose good chance to revolt.
Or can Prussia and the other kingdoms
