THE STATE OF EUROPE.

the present moment, when considerable force Is
still detsined in Persia until the Shah shall have
evacuated Herat, while troops are wanting for
China, and, though the English papers do not like
10 speak out for all the colonies where there is
strong Chinese populatiOn-as, for instance, at
SingapOre-this sudden revolt two regiments pro-

phenomenon by the inactivity Of the Indian army.
at a time when new ideas European civilization
and railroads begin to disturb the Oriental mind
An Indian officer gave me quite different aud far

discipline of the Indian army is utterly subverted

that it is in open mutiny On the whole, We may
say that the European officers are not supported by

The official order Of Napoleon to the Paris press
not to mention the visit of the King OF Bavaria to the
Museum of Artillery, has given rise to the most
absurd coniectures. According to the gossip OF
Paris society the reason was the following: The
Emperor, displaying all his novel inventions in
rtIl,ry to his royal guest, and proudly pointing to
he cannons and muskets piled up in the Museum,
rev warm, AID said emphatcally: ut s with
hese instruments that empires are builtup" " fos,
Sire" said one of the workmen employed there,
but it is with the same tools that they are
oyerthrown." This unexpected interruption
was loudly cheered by all the workmen present, and
Napoleon, without even changing color, went away
with his guest more frightened than the Emperor.
The story is probable, aud is believed; still,
annot yOuch for its authenticity.
The negotiations between Spain andl Mexico are
very unsatisfactory. Though Lafragua remains at
Madrid in daily communication with the Ministry.
the official papers continue TO abuse Mexico and to
stir up Castilian pride against the Government of
the Republic. There is no doubt that Santa
Anna intrigue is at the bottom Of this affair." or to
speak more correctly, an attempt for Oyerthrowing
the present Government Of COmOntOrt and for re-
establishing the power Of the Roman Catholic cler-
gy in Mexico.
Poor Douglas Jerrold died yesterday, at an al
yanced age. His " Back-Eyed Susan" and his
"Caudle Papers" will long survive him; and still it
was principally his conversational powers which
made him popular with the English authors He
was the wittiest Engshman of his sge, and, though
he moved in a less elevated sphere than Sydney
Smith, his pungent repartees were not less re-
nowned than those Of bis more aristOcratc COM
peer. Douglas Jerrold lived exclusively with lite
rary characters and, though his novels were less
popular than those Of Dickens and Thackeray, his
influence on the public mind was most extensive,
especially through the Lioyds Newspaper, Sun
day publication, which sold an average Of two hun.
dred and fifty thousand copies, and Of which he was
the chef editor. In private LIFE he was kind
hearted; in politics, II Radical, with some Socialist
tendencies, peculiarly interested in the welfare OF
the lower classes and often IN opposition " the
theories of Adam Smith.
