THE STATE OF EUROPE

cation Of the triparti.e treaty Of Apra 10 at once
dspeed those dreams and serious sppreheusions
are now entertained and new revolutions dreaded
Tie my .tery about the real purpcse of the treaty,
90 well as about its publication, is Lot yet solved,
nor does it sppear reconcilable with the steps
takes in regard to the Italian question. The treaty
was evidently intended TO remain secret, as its
purpose was to secure Austria against Russian re-
veDge. Why, then, was il published, when the
publication could not fail 70 unmask the real feel
ngs Of distrust entertained by the three contract
ing powers against Russia Lord Palmerstoa
says privately that the Russians got hint OF 10,
and under such circumstances it was more expe-
dent at once to publish it. The Austrian official
psper explains il away rather swkwsrd'y, by say
ine that il was concluded, not from any distrust
against Russis but in view of the collapse of the
Turkish empire, undermined as 1t is by the so
called reforms extorted from the sultan by Lord
Redclife. Napoleon remains silent, bat has nos

reyenRed himself for Palmerston's indiscretion by
making known the dssensions between Lord Raglan
and the French Government in April, 1865. Poor
Lord Raglan was until now excused for his military
incapacity by his alleged amiability, which alone
could maintain the good understanding bet Seen
the two Allied camps. But now we are suddenly
and UNEXPECTEDLY informed that Napoleon sent
orders TO Canrobert for taking the field toward
Sympheropol, leaving only a corps Of observa-
tion before the besieged fortress in April last
year The English Commander.in-Chief re-
fused bis cooperation; CanrObert had 10 re-
sign his command. and the plan OF the En-
peror had TO be given up on account of Lord
Rsglans opposition, who soon aiterward died; but
the responsibility of the campaign still continued
10 TEST upon the English. This official revelation
of pact facts, belonging altogether to history, but
certainly very annoying to the English Govern
m, Mt shows sufficiently that the spirit Of Napoleon
is unfriendly to England. Thus the threads of the
alliance are breaking one by one. In the mean
while Count Cavour tskes advantage OF his position
"a champion OF Italy and defes Austria in his
speeches in the Chambers at Turin and goes even
So far as to denounce the Austrian Concordat with
the Pope. Unless he is certain of Anglo-F French
snpport the attitude Of Sardinia becomes ridicu
lous nav dangerous; but ii England and France are
ready 10 support Sardinia what becomes then OF the
triple alliance with Austria Francis Joseph seems
10 feel uncomfortable, aud accordingly is trying to
renew the mutual. guarantee treaty with Prussia,
which has apsed by the conclusion OF peace, but
Prussia objects TO manifest any dstrust against
France by an engagement with Austria during
peace. The King OF Naples and the Pope are as
topished to see Austria joining England and
France In the advice 10 reform their govern
ment and TO make concessions; Belgium and
Spain fear lest Napoleon may interfere in their
internal concerns under the pretext of the liceu-
tousnes of the Press; the Sultan cannot keep
down the discomfort sown by the Hat Hamayoun,
both among Mussulmans and Christians; and the
King of Greece speaks again OF resgnlng the
Crown since the presence of the occupying troops
| at his capital makes him contemplate to his
subjects. Such is the condition of Europe at tho
| present moment, two months after the conclusion
| of peace-dsrk clouds rising on all parts OF the
horizon difficulties and complications sr0wng out
of the Conferences, while the prestige of the lead
| ing Powers is broken and the throne Of France
is undermined by secret societies. Indeed, the
prospects OF the peace party are not very bright but
diplOnatists are having great time. They are
busy everywhere, acting and spying and making
confusion worse cOnfounded. The presentiment
of crisis thrills through the heart Of Europe. 1t
is possible that may be mistaken, but matters
look certainly threatening all around. IL
is true that Napoleon seems to be less
al xous about Italy than fortnight ago, and his
enemies suggest even, not without plausibitity,
that he only eigned solicitude for Italy In order
10 silence the opposition of Piedmont and England
towa rd his intended crusade against the Press in
Belgium, Sardinia and Spain, and that having
gained his point, he seeks to ally himself with
Austria. Whatever be at the bottom of his policy,
20 much is certain-that even his warmest English
friends begin to say that he is an unsafe man, upon
whose words not only Frenchmen but likewise
foreign statesmen cannot rely. AZ to pretended
secret treaty beside the treaty Of the 18th Of April
il does not seem that any such document is in ex-
istence. Dsraeli made yesterday a preliminary
attack on the Government on account OF the du-
plcity with which side it encourages Sar-
dus while on the other it enters into an alliance
with Austria and he wound up HIS speech with de
nouncing the intrigues Of politicians who are not

pulse aud support which otherwise they might not
command. trife with the fate Of great people,
pander to the lust Of secret societies, pretend 20
sympathy they DO not feel, and, for the love OF
=" popular applause and a momentary success,
compromise the destiny Of great and gifted
nation" Lord Palmerston, writbing under such
terrible accusation tried to turn the Indignation OF
the conservative orator into ridicue and every
body well knew that Disraeli is never in earnest
about ANYTHING but bis own accession to power, and
that his eloquent outburst altogether fictitious,
without any real feeling for Italy, the noble Lord
succeeded easily in efacng the impression OF the
speech of his adversary. Still the explanations
about the tripartie treaty and the relations with
Sardinis were so lame, so eaborately lndehnlte,
and so easily TO be interpreted both ways, tnat
even the create u ad nrers OF the Liberal Premier
could not fail 10 understand that neither Italy nor
Austria can ever rely on him.
The dealings Of the Credit Nober at Vienna
have given rise to great Indignation among the
shareholders. The new COMMERCIAL law Tor the
Rheni,h PROVINCES in Prussia, sanctioned by the
King in spite Of the strong representations OF the
Rbinelauders. which were supported By the Prince
Of Prussia. spreads Dissatisfaction all along the
