THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Our Own Correspondent.
LONDON Friday, Nov. 80, 1855.
Though the Paris correspondents of the English.
Belgian and German papers continue to affirm the
adherence of Sweden to the Western Alliance,
and though the wellinformed correspondent of the
Independence Beige assures us that Gen. Canrobert
did not quit Stockholm before the signatures had
been affixed to the treaty, again assure you with
equal positiveDess that such is not the case, and
that though Canroberts mission made deep i'm
preston on the Court Of Sweden, the rumors
about treaty and the cooperation Of the scandi-
navian powers are at least premature. Still a
campaign on the shores of the Baltic has already
been decided upon by the two leading men of En-
gland and France. Under such circumstances the
views Of Germany acquire an additional interest,
since she can scarcely remain neutral when the
war approaches her frontiers As to the policy of
the Princes, that requires no long explanation; it
can be defined by the words: Pro-Russian neutral
ity tiDce the Thirty tyrants cannot dispense with
the assistance of the Gar. But the German peo-
pie are by no means enthusiastic for the alliance
with England and France. An English author.
well known in America and Just returned from
Germany, describes this state OF feeling with con-
siderable ceverness in The Edinburgh ScoteAman
