THE STATE OF EUROPE
From Our Own Correspondent
LONDON, Friday, Feb. ., loJ5.
The split between Austria and Prussia, on the
question of the mobilization Of the German Fed
eral Army, has for Il while been patched up by
Bavaria. whose mott, o, at Frankfort, to get the
federal coutinsents IN readiness, satisfied both
parties. Sail the diplomststs of England and
France have no longer any doubt that IN the long
run End in case Of q miscarriage of the Vienni
conferences, Prussia will side with Russia. In
consideration Of such contingency France has
slresdy promised her support TO Austria, consist
ing 10 An army of 81, 00O men, under the coma maud
of old General Schramm, which is to be conveyed
20 Bohemia by way Of Sardinia, Milan aud the
Trieste Railway, in order 70 guard the left tiank
Of Austria. In any case, should The war be trans
ferree from the Crimea and tho lower Danube to
the Rhine aud the Elbe the position Of Germany
would present most deporaoe scene. Prussia
and Russa could rely upon the two Mecklenburgs,
Oldebturg and Denmark, in the North and upon
the kingdoms of Ssxony and Nurte nberg, ia the
center ana s0ulh, while Hanover, Brunswick,
the Hrsses, tie Saxon Duches Baden and Bavs-
ria would probably be the allies of Austrs; Wills
Holland and Belgium would also probably be
found on opposite sides Aud if By such struggle
III. latent powers Of the natioralisss should like
wise be called iuro play, we isht see sae contest

d more fearful shape than ia tho rnirty Years

would be- reaoy TO patch upa peace, if only the
honor Of their arms in the Crimea could be saved.
Nicholas M h', probably after the fall of Sevas-
topol get better conditions toan nov, especially
II be succte ded 10 crushing the TuCks IN EuPsto-
Tia. while lo.ibe SeysstOpol Oner Pasha the
game sn0 therefore most reluctantly accepted the
command IN the Crimes, and threw il up alto
gerher at the fret opportunity. Still, all his con-
titiops we're imn ot's,ely submitted to at Con-
stantinople, and he las now At last to go to Eops-
toria, though he continues 20 liuger az Vans un-
wiling to lose his reputation in an underts 4ing
which is almost hopeless. He has seen ting con-
ORION of the English aid French at Balaklava
and Karoiesh Bay, and has no desire to see hts
own troops in the same miserable plight at Eu-
pators.
In England the policy OF Tis London Time, is
really moot my sterious. Its attacks on the En-
elsh constitution continue with undated vigof,
and on the 9TH we had ~ read that England Is
on Il way 70 despotisn. Still uniess the editor
Of The Times is to be toe Dictator BY coup d AH,
do not buow any person in England ut 10 oyer-
rule the laws BY bis energy or superior aoilItesi
and. therefore, the admirers Of the English con-
stitution in the United States may quiet their
alarm, as far as it is created By the great rhln-
derer. The difficulties Of England are not likely
to be solved BY cenHaiizing desPousm; on me
contrary tue fariou. articles oil The Tunes create
rather republican feeling with the people. Lord
Ejqin's pOstprandlsl speech at Dunfer milne 70
worth reading. He is the first English states
mar who has maniuly ayoTed himself 10 DO
champion OF self government, and hope that
though Doninsly q Wing, he will disoSa
the cenualziDg tendencies OF bis party,
and ra,her reconstruct it on the basis
of local seEgoversmeDt the only one
which can strengthen the touering faoric OF
the English Constitution. Lord John RasseiPs
uo,trum Of Reform bills, which holds the
sf.,ocracy ia full power, has Lost all its credit,
and even the frs, Reform bil begins 70 be looked
upon asa f,ilure, rtiie Lord Grey's nos.rum Of
government by irresponsible boards and CON-
missions finds likewise little favor with the
county, though the London press is rather
favorable to tho silence, which puts many
fat secretsry.hip and clersshp in the reach Of
newspaper editors and their sons and relations.
sir Charles Trevelyss is the great oracle of these
cenualiziDg Greyi'es but he will most likely
be discarded in the same way By the indigns''oa
Of the country as Edwin Chadwick has been, he
originator and dictator Of the Board Of Health.
After an uDprecedeptedly large m.jority agal ISL
