THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Our Own Correspondent
LONDON, Tuesday, March 25, 1856.
From an authentic source, learn that the En-
glish Government is trying to settle the Central
American question about ,Ruatan and Bonacca, by
pegotions in direct way with the State ofHonduras,
without regard to the views Of the American Cabi-
Mr. Marcy as the guardian Of Central American
interests. 1t is possible that satisfactory solution
Of the difficulty may thus be arrived at within sixty
days.
The Danish question Of the Sound Dues has en-
tered into Bew phasis. The proposition Of the
Danish Cabinet for the redemption of the Dues by
the payment Of the capital by the different coun-
tries in proportion to their trade to the Baltic has
been declined by the English Cabinet-Englsn
share in the redemption amounting to one million
sterling, according to the Danish scheme. Sill
the abolition Of these dues, which are an open in
frngement Of the principle Of the freedon Of the
seas. is now under the serious consideration Of the
British Cabinet, and counter proposition will
probably soon be sent TO Copenhagen, 90 that an
agreement about the basis of a settlement may be
arrived at before the expiration of the American
extension Of the treaty
led TO any formal agreement, it is understood that
there are no further serious difficulties between
the Plenipotentiaries of the belligerent parties
which can Illustrate or even delay ire conclusion
of peace. But in spite Of all the concessions Of
Russia, made by Count 0rlOff ia the most grace
full way, Lord Clarendon does not seem TO be
satisfied With the state of things. He is reported
to have said In society: "A peace it will be, but
mot the peace" He sees clearly that France is
now eravitatpg toward Russia, and as it is Count
Morny, the ilegitimate brother Of the Emperor,
who is designated TO 90 to St Petersburg ne EN-
bassador Immediately after diplomatic relations
are reassumed, it can scarcely be doubted that
the two Emperors will soon come TO a complete
understanding, which cannot be agreeable to En-
gland. Ii is not less significant that the
naughty GOODNESS with which Count 0rlof treats
Count Buol, has little by little been com
munieated to the French dipomatists, who
now begin to Light Austria, which they formerly
courted. AS natural consequence of these
proceedings Count CavOur, the Ssrdiaian Min
ister tries TO make himself agreeable to the
Russian PlenipOtentaries Thus, as the Confer
ences proceed, Austria sees herself more and more
isoiated, and the invitation of Prussia to Paris,
and the eagerness Of the Russians 70 support
Baron Asnteuftel, aud to secure for him an equal
position IN the Conferences contributes its proper
share TO the modification Of the Cabinet of
Schonbrann. IL is said that one Of the Russian
Attaches or secretaries being asked by lady
whether England had not claimed as iudemnihcation
from Russia for the expenses of the war; answered
playfully, "Msdam, it was understood from the
s'beeinning that Austria must paw the costs. -
Though most such anecdotes are apocryphal
still the fact that they are believed sufficiently
chsracterzes the spirit Of society and the general
feeling about the state of things. An antipathy
against Austria pierces through al the Official and
