THE STATE OF EUROPE.

LoNDoS, rTiudy, OCJ. @J 1000.
The Prince Regent Of Prussia took the oath to
the Constitution in a manly, straightforward way,
without any quibble, and the Prussian Chambers
were immediately afterward dissolved. The new
elections are to take place under the auspices of the
old, unpopular ministry Still, as it is generally
known that they do not possess the confidence of
the Prince Regent, they cannot exert any danger
Gus influence. Accordingly, we may reckon upon q
fair expression of public opinion in the next Cham
bers. The choice of the Ministers will at once
settle the character of the reign, and, to a
certain degree, decide the fortunes of Prussia for
the next few years.
France is uneasy, and Napoleon is uneasy. He
has succeeded in bullying Portugal the SLAYER has
been released and the little kingdom, abandoned
by England, has to pay indemnity Don Pedro,
however, the noble minded King refused to submit
this question to arbitration, but, nsinuating that
he acted under compulsion, declared that the
try would pay whatever the French Government
should claim. He appealed, however to the good
sense Of Napoleon, who at once reduced the amount
to One-half of the original claim
The outrage upon the French Consul at Tetuan
having proved to be hoax, and there being no
opportunity for an expedition against Morocco,
people are at a loss to explain why the French
fleet is equipped and made ready for taking the sea
at Toulon. The Austrian papers speak of the ex.
travagant plan of seizing Turkish port in Albania
as set-off for the English occupation of Perrin, in
the interest of the secret Franco Russian alliance
since the first plan--of getting seaport for Mon
tenegro by diplomatic acton-has failed, through
the combined opposition of Austria and Turkey.
Another scheme for soating the outlying province
Of Bosnia. aud eventually for detaching it from
Turkey, by the concession of the district o
Kslaschin to Montenegro. aud thus bringing the
little rObber State into contact with the Servlan
frontier, was likewise defeated, first by
the want of success of the Montenegrins, who, in
spite OF the pending negotiations, invaded Il dis
trct, but found no sympathy among its inhabitants,
and again by the firm stand the Turks made in the
diplomatic councils at Constantinople. STILL all
these proceedings and the approach of the elections
of Princes in both the Danubian Prncipalities and
the conyOcation Of the Constituent Assembly in
Serya, inclined to overthrow the present prince
and to put tool of Russia in his stead, have reused
all the country ON the Danube and on the Adriatc
10 the greatest excitement. Austria becomes, in
consequence, unable to reduce her army as consld-
erably as was originally intended, or to arrange her
finances in more satisfactory way. 1t is said that
the Minister of Finances, Baron Bruck, despairing
of fulfilling his task, has rendered his resignation,
but Austria cannot yet do without him, and the
change of Ministry is postponed TO later epoch.
Baron Bruck is Protestant and therefore OBJ
noxous to the priests; he is sefnade man, a
Prussan by birth, therefore hated by the Austrian
arstocracy and as free trader he has to bear the
attacks Of the manufacturers. His position is GER
tainly not to be enyied.
The Sardnian Ministry, which by the resigna
tion of RatazM had become shaky is again crn-
solidated by the accession of Cadorna and Louie,
both of them friends of Count Cayouz, who has
lately endeayored to come to terms with the MAJ
xiDsns, and to combine all the elements of the
Italian national opposition against Austria, as II he
were to prepare for a new campaign. Russian
naval officers fill the hotels at Nice. 1t seems
that, though they look hale and hearty, the Russian
navy surgeons found it necessary to have them in
vigorated by dip in the Mediterranean. The
arsenal of Villafranca has been occupied by the
Odessa company and large preparations for ship
building are made AT lhal pace VI COURSE, Tue
ships are all to be merchaatships such as the
steamers of the Cunard and ate Collins lines.
The Pope is pestered by the French Government
about the abduction Of the jew boy Mortara aud
it is most significant that the French semi
official papers continue TO attack the conduct OF
the ecclesiastical authorities Of Rome. Napoieons
letter to Edgar Ney is again reprinted, the garr-
son OF Rome is REINFORCED, and the icrtlhcations
of Civta Vecchia are extended, without any refer
ence 10 the Papal Government.
From Spain, we hear Of hourishipg state of
the public treasury for the first time for very long
years. O'Donnell coaxes and bulles in turn the
Progresistas and seems to have intimidated the
Court party. The ex-Queen Christina gives up
the hope of ever returning to Madrid aud sells her
private property She intends to live in future al
ternately at Rome and Paris.
The London Times has discovered mares nest,
about conspiracy in Ireland, in the County OF
Cork, and an intended invasion by American hlli-
