THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Our Own Correspondent.
LONDON, Tuesday, Feb. ~, 1856.
The members of the Peace Conference are arriv-
ing at Paris one by one. Brunow, Buol aud Clar-
endon have already Gomez Orlof and CayOur are
expected within the next few days, but Ali Pasha
can scarcely arrive before Thursday or Friday.
The opening Of the Conferences has therefore been
deferred to Saturday, or, it may be eventually, to
Monday next. This time the diplomatic world keeps
the secret so well that the political papers can
not with any appearance Of plausibility make out
the real position Of affairs. At Vienna they speak
no longer of the probability but OF the certainty OF
pesce; the Emperor is dsbanding a portion of his
army, and the politicians, though admitting that
England may set up pretensions unacceptable to
Russia, are sure that France and Austria can force
may consider fair. The Emperor of France is
reported to have said that the conditions
Of peace must be such as can be accepted
BY the Car without humiliation, and again. that
the Conferences must be conducted without bag
Cling, and not inIa lawyer-like manner. The En-
klish papers, on the contrary, announce semi
officially that there exists the most complete under
standing and union between the Cabinets Of ~.
James's and the Tuilleries, and that their course
will be uniform, firm, and dignihed, proceeding
from sincere wish for peace, but not Directing
10 continuation Of the war should Russia not
accept the propositions Of the Allies in candid and
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner. As to the real meaning
of the vague Fifth Point in respect to which England
and France are said TO have already agreed, moth
ins has yet oored out. Some say that it will con-
sist In the re-estabshment Of the constitution Of
Poland, as was mentioned in the treaty Of 1915,
while others believe il to be abstract principle
20 be conceded by Russia, viz: that the Gar will
not threaten either Turkey or Sweden and Den
mark, with h0stilities, nor back any diplomatic
negotiations with those countries by assembling
armies. Others again believe the influence OF Rus
sia on Germany may perhaps be limited some
bow; while Sardinia wishes 10 bring the Italian
question before the Conferences. In fact, though
the war has not extended all over Europe people
believe now that the negotiations must take the
state Of the Continent into consideration, and re-
move the causes Of discomfort which reign from
she Pillars Of Hercules 10 the Ural OF course all
those wishes are Utopian but it is very probable
that IN case the preliminsries Of peace should be
Ggned, and an armistice be concluded, the Confer
cpces may be transformed into European Con.
gress which would cover much wider ground
than the Oriental question.
The Emperor of Austria has lately contributed
%, 600 forms from his own pocket toward the
erection Of . house for the Jesuits at Vienna
where the reverend fathers are now again openly
to reappesr in their official frocks, after an exile
Of nearly q whole century. Their great patron in
Austria is the Archduke Macmillan Este, who
has maintained them at Linz for at least twenty
Eve years, in order to sccustom the Austrisns,
little by little, to the sight of that notorious order
expelled from the Empire by the Archduke's
grandmother, Maria Therese.
The amnesty granted to the Lombards by the
Emperor lie rather shabby, If we are to believe the
Sandman papers, stating that the emigrants are 10
get their estates back If they return to Milan and
resume their citizenship, including the oath Of ALE
glance, within one year. Should they decline it,
tbeir estates are to be handed over 10 their heirs
