of the Emperor of Russia opin-
ion has undergone great change in re
gard to his mental capacity since he as
cended the throne of France. He ha,
manifested an ability of high order as ru
Ter and statesman; and, at this moment
exercises a greater influence over the af
fairs of Europe, than any other sovereign
not even excepting the Emperor of Rus
STA. And this influence he has wiel,led
wisely for his own interests, and thus far
for the honor and interests of France
He enters on the conflict with his great
antagonist of Russia with dauntleSs spir-

much of the true metal of his uncle -'ot

Queen Victoria, of England. rules over
the most populous, wealthy and powerful
Empire ON the globe. On her dominions
the sun never sets; and under her govern
mcnt the people of England and Scotland
at least, enjoy more freedom than under
any other monarchy. Queen Victoria is
now 81 years of age; of Il mild and ami
able disposition. and is an exemplary wife
and mother But as a ruler she exercises
little real authority. Her Cabinet Coun-
cillors and Pertinent are the actual ru-
lers of the British Empire-The naval
powers of England is nearly as great as
that of all other nations combined; and
her commerce and manufactures greater
than those of any other nation.
Oscar, King of Sweden, is now in the
prime of life, and. personality is strongly
inclined to side with the Car in the pre-
sent war. But his people, almost unani
mouSly, are hostile towards Russia. An
armed neutrality is his declared position
and to this proposition and its rights the
Gar accedcs,
The KING of Denmark is under person
al obligations to the Emperor of Russia
but is compelled, by his position, and the
voice of his people, to adopt the policy of
neutrality.
The King of Belgium is controlled in
his policy by dread Of his powerful neigh
Dor of France.
Christina, Queen of Spain is fully oc-
cupied just now with the insurrectionary
movements of her own people, who are
disgusted with her open protiigacy her
disregard of the welfare of her subjects,
and the arbitrary principles other govern
ment. She is young yet, but her reign
will probably be short.
The King Of Sardinia would be llbcr-
al, if backed by any power that would
enable him to contend with the myrmld-
onS of Austria.
The King of Naples is an unmitiga-
ted tyrant; blood-thirsty, cruel, and re-
solved on maintaining the divine right
of kings" and such is the temper Of his
subjects towards him that he has very
fair chance Of meeting sudden and Vi
client death. A few years ago he was
an accomplished horseinan and chariot
eer, and might be seen almost daily drir-
ing through the streets Of Naples, with
a frequent nod Of recognition to his PEG
pie. lie is now seldom seen, except
when surrounded 10y his guards. He is
a Bourbon of the French family, and is
friendly to Russia; but his influence
among the European nations is of little
account.
Ohio, King of Greece, is mere cy-
pher, a tool in the hands Of England and
France.
Such are the principal sovereigns of
Europe at the commencement of gen
cral war that is likely to prove one of
the most sanguinary and momentous
conflicts that has ever occurred on that
continent; and that cannot fail to result,
in the end, in many changes in its con
dition. What those changes may be,
time only can reveal; but there is little
doubt that despoti,m will suffer more
than the cause of freedom. The people
will gain what the despots lose.
