THE STATE OF EUROPE.


LONDON, Friday April 81, 1854.
! Lord Redcife's diplomacy at Constanrnope begins
to bring forth its necessary results. Discomfort is
growing among the Turks seeing the delays in the
rival of the auxiliary army, and the preparations at
Gallipoli and Contantinople which seem to indicate
that the Anglo French troops are to garrison the cap
ta and the Daranelles and not to fight the Russians
on tie Danube while Omcr Pasha is not permitted to
the progress of the enemy by an attack upon Mol
do-Wallachia. The Turks say Prince Menchikoff
came. looked into the Koran and claimed that por
ton should be erased; we declared war rather than
submit But 10 Lord Radcliffe arrived. and looked
likewise into the Koran and now insists upon the
whole book being thrown into the BosphOrus; he
claims il under the plea of friendship and protection
but the friendship is trescherous, and the protection
"a sham" We cannot be astonished at the excite
ment of the Mussulmans, since the foreign Embassa-
doris openly ayOw in their conversations-which can
not but ranspre-that great defeat of the Turks is
necessary before they will be ripe for all the intended
reforms of Lord Radcliffe. This defeat, always ex-
pected by Lord Aberdeen since the war began,
has not yet come, and Omer Pasha is fully salts
fed that it will not come though he may be
forced 10 give up the line of the Danube
and to fall back upon the Balkan, since he is not
allowed to carry out his scheme of offensive defense
by attacking the Russians in the Princpaties Prince
Pashkiewitch having the 18th arrived at the head

French Governments in sending the auxiliary force to
Turkey has great influence on Austria, which viii
only give up her neutrality when she sees that the
allied powers can do without her. But Francis Jo-
seph is not at all anxious TO attack the Russians AZ
long as the Angl0-French are at Malta or Gallipoh
AZ soon as they have destroyed the Russian fleet cap
tured Odessa or taken Cronstadt, then he will move,
not before and even then only in order to get accept
able propositions of peace for his friend the Car.
In the meantime the agents of the Car are busy in
the Turkish provinces. Prince Daniel of Montenegro
has already declared that he is ready to defend the
cross against the crescent by attacking the Turks VINO,

of Thessay remain in their mountains, but new

The Porte has taken steps against Greece by expeng
the subjects of King Ohio from Turkey and an en-
barge on all the Greek vessels in the Turkish ports
will probably soon follow.
From Asia we have the news that Fort Ussurgheti,
not far distant from Shefketl has been taken by
Selm Pasha and that the City of Erivan has been at
tackled by the irregular mountaneers, principally
Kurds Kurahid Pasha [Guyonl is drilling and re-
organizing the army at Kars, and Polish deserters
from the Russian army of the Caucasus continue to
arrive ut the Turkish headquarters.
The fleets have not yet done anything worth record
ing. Sir Charles Napier is off Gohand, but his next
move scarcely be guessed. Admiral Dundas OF
the Peace society remains quietly at Batshik aud
Kayarne.
Prince George Of Cambridge visits Vienna on his
way to the seat of war. He is to be present at the
nuptals of Francis Joseph, in order to cement the
good understanding between Austria and the western
powers. The state Of seige is to be raised in the Aus
tran empire, il the state Of seige not perma
nent in all despotc countries. Besides, the crimes of
high and riots to be tried by courts martial
just before.
In the scandinavian ngloms the Government

signed. but the king has Dot accepted the resgna-
tion, though the Diet has passed vote of want

In Spain tie confusion augments daily, and the pub

The sst reports from the Cape, announcing the die

Emigration will very possibly seek different course
