THE STATE OF EUROPE.

from Oar Own Correspondents
LONDON, Tuesday, Oct y, 1857.
Prussia has, during the last few weeks excited
TIE greatest interest in all political circles. Tue
King, altogether disabled by an spoplectc it, could
stiIl not be persuaded to name his brother Regent
and the Government was theoretically at staudstil
that is to say, q practical Illustration was gvea
how super uous kings are in general, since in spite
of the Kings illness every thing went on as before.
At best he has consented 20 appoint the Prince Of
Prussia bis Vicegerent for three months, though it
q we'll known that even if ha should recover
from the last attack bis sofened brain must incapa
citate him for the transaction Of business for long
while, if not for ever. lie has lost his memory, but
still he clings tenaciousy to his royal power and is
Jealous of his brother lest he should become popular
during temporary regency. AS to the Prince OF
Prussia, be declares in his first manifesto that he
will carry on the government according to the in
tentions Of his royal brother and in conformity with
the Constitution. But the Prince is known as an
adversary of Russia, and his English predictions
have lately been strengthened by the matrimonial
alliance Of his SON. Accordingly Lord Pimerston
will certainly take advantage of the Regency in
order TO settle the MoldoWalachian question agree
ably to The wishes of Turkey as well as OF Austria,
by having them separated, es two distinct provinces
governed by two indigenous princes for life. In fact
the Constitution of the Danubian Principates will
remain pretty much the same as it was before the
war. The Freoch influence at COnstantnOple has
already gone down, and Redshid Pasha and Lord
Re6clfe are once more rampant.
Napoleon, who does not do matters by haves, has
Just abolished the last remnant of the freedom OF
education in France, by assimilatng the College de
L. al, IL, <ahl LIB mt,
From the time of Francis L. in the beginning OF the
sixteenth century, this celebrated institution has not
been controlled by the University, or even BY the
State. The professors were elected By the C0un-
Gil not appointed by the State. and the lecturers
we're not smenabe to the Sorbonne. All this has
now been changed, and the College de France will
enter into the educational organization OF Francs,
losing all its privileges. This new encroachmeut
and still more the disclosures at the trial Of Count
Mgeon at the Court Of Colmare, for having assumed
false titles, and having carried his election as mem.
Der of the Legislative Assembly under false pre-
teEses, has damaged the imperial prestige beyond
REDEMPTION. Jules Favre, the counsel Tor the de-
ferdant, branded the maneuvers of tie Government;
in most eloquent speech, he proved the eectoneer-
ing tricks of the imperial officials he pointed to the
intimacy between the defendant aud the Ministers
of State-for Migeon 10 law and-Order man, though
the Government is now ashamed of him-and dis.
closed all that abyss of corruption, gambling and
precocity into which France has sunk during the
Second Empire. MgeOn was to be deprived of his
seat in the Assembly but the Court declared ts ia
competency in regard to this question, though on
another cunt he was sentenced to few weeks i'm
prsoDmeut. The trial has excited the most Intense
agitation IN France account OF the curious reye-
atioDs by the witne for the defense, which were
damaging to the Government as the trial of Capt
DCisesu at Agiers Napoleon was angry that the

affair, but it was too late TO stop it.
The American crisis cannot fail to have the most
serious political results in Europe. The exports
the ne 1t few )nhs from France and England to
the States will fall off, the manufacturers, losing
such an important market, cannot continue to work
full time, and, coupled with the 'ightness OF the
money market the wOrkmen will be thrown out OF
employment, especially as Hungary and Russia are
this year equally unable to meet their liabilities
the plentiful harvest having brought down the prices
of wheat which is the principal export Of those
countries, TO a mere trIhe 1t is most remarkable
that the last monetary crisis, which brought about
the French Revolution, was originated BY the Dad
harvest Of 1896 while the present one has broken
out principally because wheat has become unstable
except at runOus prices, on account OF the general
abundance. Of course, the good harvest Is but the
opportunity. no. the cause Of the crisis; but it was
the reliance upon this crop, and the hope TO sell 1t
At TIE prices OF the last three or four years, which
induced people in Europe well ss in America to
run into debt. In Aistris business is at stand
still ard though the Crisis has not yet developed
iteef fully, many important houses have failed, and
general panic is apprehended. As to France, who
can know what may happen during the Winter
The capture of Delhi ON the 10th Of September,
before any Of the European reentorcsmeuts had ar
rived, gladdens the heart OF the English. Their
loss however, was severe; amounting to 40 officers
and 600 men, in an army Of little more than 1900
Europeans The center Of the insurrectiOn having
thus come into British possession all the forces may
ncw safely be directed against Ouds, which becomes
the last focus of the mutineers and probably the
bditg place Of the last of the Great Noguls, the
6eluded King of Delhi who has succeeded in escap-
ipg, together with his family. A long campaign is
still required against the marauders and robbers the
remnants Of the mutineers who for long time will
be the scOurge Of the country; but the principal
work has now been done, and no further disasters
are to be apprehended. 1t seems, however that
the important town of Gaya has fallen into the hands
Of the insurgents, who had defeated corps OF skins
sent from Patua against them. .
1t seems that England and France are putting tee
screws on Naples. Murat Chains the private prop
