THE STATE OF EUROPE.

The Foreign policy OF the Coalition Ministry mas
been very unfortunate After the uncessng efforts OF
year after all their endeavors yield to the claims Of
Russia and to enforce them at COnstantinope in
way which should not rouse the indignation OF the pub
lie in England and France they on the eve of war
with Russia The naval preparations, which on an
extensive scale in all the dockyards OF England,
at last TO allow the belief that the Government is in
earnest The next effort Of the Administration TO
isolate Russia and to bring about good Understanding
if not an alliance. between England France, Russia
and Austria. In order TO secure the good offices Of
Austria, Lord PalmerstQn degraded himself to have
the movements of KCssuth watched. The Sultan was
prohibited employing his best Generals in Europe be-
cause they had formerly been in revolt against that
Francis joseph whom Lord Aberdeen called the
hope of his country Omer Pasha was not allowed
to act extensively against the Russians and to march
straight upon Bucharest after the victory of Otentza,
that he might not carry revolutionary elements into
the immediate neighborhOOd of Hungary; aud now.
when England is almost at war with the Car, Austria
is going astray and siding with Russia never doubted
this result and have often stated that Austria
could have policy different from that of Russia though
all the English papers without exception continued to
hold out hopes of cordial alliance with Austria, and
up to yesterday we heard that Count 0rlOI had sig
naly failed in his mission to Vienna. But tO-dsys tel
egraph informs us that Austria has yielded to
the commands of ST. Petersburg aud has
declared her neutrality. The papers of to-day
are of course all thunderstruek and do not as
yet believe this complication for which they were
entirely uhprepared. The telegraph, however goes
further and declares that Prussia has likewise given
her assent to the neutrality required by Russia and in
fact Count Budberg, the Russian ambassador at Ber
lin, had arrived in Vienna before the departure Of
Count Orlof and was closeted with him for a WHILE
and il is not altogether impossible that the opposition
of the Prince of Prussia and of Baron Manteuifel,
may have been overcome in the Councils of the King
who has always had the strongest leaning toward
Russia The neutrality of those powers will OF course
soon be converted into actual aid and cooperation with
the Gar, since neutrality under the present circum
stances cannot last for two weeks. Sweden and Den
mark have likewise declared their neutrality, and this
declaration has been received in England with great
satisfaction but that the partial details Of the act Of
neutrality have come to light. the English perceive to
their great establishment that the declaration Of Swe
den and Denmark is altogether favorable to Russia the
fleets OF the begerent parties being excluded from all
the principal seaports Of the three kingdoms. Now
the Russian feet has need of entering the Swedish
Danish harbOrs in the Baltic; il has its Reyal and
Cronstadt, but the English feet requires neutral har-
bOrs there in order to carry either actual eff
eent blockade. English diplomacy is everywhere
Outgeneraled by Russia perhaps even at Con
stantiDople, though there is no Russian Embas-
sador at Pera. The telegraph informs US, that
the Seraskier, Mehemet Ali Pasha, the brother
n-law Of the Sultan and the Kapudan Pasha, both
leaders of the war party, have in consequence Of the
influence of Lord Radcliffe been dismissed, aud that
two other Pashas, altogether subordinate to Reshid
Pasha who has always been Lord Redcliiies tool are

Ostentaously preparing for war; the English Embas-
sadOr brings about change in the ministry at CONSTANT
nope which puts the power into the hands peace
party Indeed this looks like treachery, and do not
know, whether in the last moment we shall not hear
Lord Radcliffe Indignantly complaining that the
Turkish Ministry has behind his back, settled the affair
with Russia without his knowledge Improbable as
such an event seems it is yet not impossible. Lord
Radcliffe continues to check the national enthusiasm,
he strengthens the peace party, he is the open enemy
of those Turkish patriots who have the honor and n
dependence Of their country at heart and then be pre-
tends TO be friend of Turkey.
