THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Oar Own Correspondent
LONDON, Friday, Feb. &, 1851.
Mr.. Laboucbere moved yesterday on the pant of
the Governm.n for Select Committee to con-
,ider the state Of the British administered
by the Hudstns Bay Company, as preliminary stop
toward opening sOme portions Of them 70 colonies
ton. Mr.. Roebucks remarks aid Nr. Glads.Oaes
speech On this occasion cannot fail TO interest the
American public, as showing the flaws in the tide
Of the Hudsons Bay Company and the earnestneSs
Of the opposition in making the bert of this Oppor
tuIity for the interests Of Canada, as a counter
yote against the growing political weight Of the
United States. Serious tacks upon Government
are expected On the Per,ian and Chinese questions
about which Lord Derby, Earl Grey, Disrael,
Gladstone, Lsyard and the Manchester party COM
pletey agree, threatening the Cabinet with ma
iority against Lord Palmerston's policy. The pa
pers call this coalition " the party Of the future"
and the fact that even The Times does not dare to
attack it with ssrcasms, augurs well for it's possible
success, Lord Clarendon, seeing such an Affirming
force arrayed against the Government, is trying
row to evade discussion by the pretense of negoda
tons pending with Persia, but the coalition will not
easily yield TO the Ministerial evasiOns.
As to Continental matters, the Neufchstel ques-
ton has not yet progressed in any way since the
release of the roysist prisoners; still it is ad
nitled in the political circles that Prusssn pro-
.rastiaation cannot be allowed to Outgeneral the
frank and open policy Of Switzerland. England
and France are said to be unanimous about this
question. Not so, as regards the Dahu-
han Principalities. Yesterdays Moni;euy con-
n,col artlclp OppnlV dpclar-
inc that the union Of the two provinces
hily accords with the views of the Freuch Gov
eminent. Russia desires the same Object, while
Turkey and Austria are opposed toll, and England,
at least until now supports the rco-Austrian op
position. Still the question VIII not become oi
Europesn importance before Summer, when the
Diyans of the two provinces will have concluded
their discussions. They are to meet early In Aprl,
and there is no doubt that their first demand VIII
be for union under hereditary foreign prince. OF
course this prince must belong TO one ot the petty
Germ an houses, unconnected with England, nus
sia- or Austria Still as the AoldO-W allachs are
all Of them Greek Catholics it is quite certain that
the second generation Will be connected WIN INNS
sia by matrimonial alliances. .
The Emperor of Austria has thrown himself
spop ,he couusels of England, since he has found
that he cannot concihaIe the Russian amnesty DIS.
played against him. Accordingly, he has followed
up The amnesty of Milan by abandoning the scheme
tUr The CerulahIuIiOn vi INC PiV'iucoe' II o"'e
that he intends to give somewhat less centralized
organization 10 the various discordant portions OF
his Empire. His brother has been appointed wee.
roy Of Iombardy, aud Is TO reside AT Milan. Ills
cousin, the Archduke William, is TO be Governor
General Of Hungary, aud hind OF provincial rep
reteutaticn is to be granted to both these ancient
knrtd,ns Besides, provincial banks are to be
established in the capitals OF the provinces, and the
cameron is TO hold his court successfully III all the
moet impoIts portions o. the Empire Such is
the programme, and il remains TO be seen how
much Of il NAV he carried out. But the foreign
policy OF Austria is no ltss remarkable. Seeing
that the moral leadership Of Italy has dcvolSed on
Sardinia. Fran els Joseph dreams of au Italian Gus
toms Union al d of political federation OF the
Princes of the Peninsula, by which Austria would
become the Leading Italian Power, guaranteeing
full sovereignty toward their subjects 10 hhg
Bembs the Pope and the Dukes of Tuscany, Par
ma and Moders. Such views are equally dstaste-
f.l 10 Russia and TO Napoleon; and here we
see again the seeds for a future alllance-on
The one side of France, Russia and SIrdiull;
On the o.her, OF England, Austria, and possibly
Turkey; while Germany, on account OF the I'M
becihry of the present King Of Prussia, has no
proper position, and is Influenced by both these
greater combinations.
In Spain affairs look unexpectedly. The Abso.
ttists do their best 10 get majority IN the Cortes,
AID the Court bachs them by personal influence;
the Liberals and principally the Proeresistas are
bara,,ed AID per.ecuted IN every po'sios way
and Nsrvaez himself, who does not wish the
triumph Of any party not yielding implicitly - bis
own d.c,a:ions. feels the reins OF government
escaping from his grasp. The Queen is equally
adhered by all parties, both for her shsmeie's
prefigacy and her notorious duphclty. Al Inc
zane time the King Of Portugal is trying 10 allure
the Spanards mo bis interests by ruling his SUD
iects IN an honest and straightforward manner.
Thus the lberian party, which aims 20 unite all the
Peninsula under one and the same King, gains u
slow but steady INCREASE.
The King Of Naples has concluded treaty with
BueHos Ayres, and is now aboat 70 send all the
poii cal prisoners Of his kingdom TO South America.
The treaty Oh the IedeuPtion Of the Sound dues
hss been published without adding any new feature
10 he points which forwarded 10 you several
weeks ago.
The King Of Prussia j. greatly inceGsed sg tn st
