THE STATE OF EUROPE.

V,,m Ouy Own CorTssv-rdent
LONDON, Friday, Ap;i 9, 1853.
III. Emneror Napoleon has fully succeeded 10
-,h;rc the Cabinets Of Europe very uneasy abon.
A.. ,oIcy. Belgium, Switzerland and Sardinia feel
tAs pressure Of bis poser, and reluctantly comply
With his demands up to certain point, well aware
tAst their Parliamentary Institutions are go much
at variance with the ImperiI despotisn as TO e.
pose them again AID again 70 renewed diplomatic
Aggression from tho French Cabinet The object
Of these three le States is 70 delay action and to
give up the guaranty IF popular liberty so slowly
~ to sutIye the present phase of French history
with the ,lghtest possible damage. But despotic
Austria has been ne less uneasy since the pubica-
ton Of Orsns frs. letter, and the first NapoeoDs
xispatches and ant-Austrlan pr0clamatons IN the
Moateur. The statesmen Of Vienna accuse Napo-
leon Of wliully creating agitation in Italy and rous-
ing indie net hopes, which at any rate are detrl-
mental TO Austrian interests; and scarcely has the
insertion Of those documents in the Official papers
been explained away by the usual French excuse OF
iaadyertence, when the second letter and the VIII
Of Orsim are published in the official Turn paper,
to which they could Only have been communicated
BY the immediate officials of Napoleon. Since
the appearance of these publications the Italians
have been somewhat excited and are fully con-
WINGED that great changes of their political condition
are pear at hand. The Austrlans have been Obliged
TO send three more regiments TO Italy, Just when
they intended to reduce the army The most serious
complication, however, is that with England. The
question of the efficiency of English law against con-
spiraees for tie overthrow Of foreign governments
is not yet settled, and the nomination OF FleldMar-
shal Pellssier to the embassy IN London IL some
what ominous, though the English Court and
nation have made up their minds to take IT as
H.. - ,,,at ahnt, tho
time of the press prosecutions and the trial of DR..
Bernard, and the finding of the jury may materially
influence his demeanOr. The Continental papers do
not fail to point to the increased activity i'll all the
French dock yards, and to the present state Of ell
cheney of the French nayy but the English press is
too proud and too patriotic to create alarm about
these preparations. French diplomacy is every
where eager to create difficulties for England, and
Turkey has, as usual again been selected as the
best ground for attacking England. Lord Red
eliffe's absence from COnstsntInOple has left the
field altogether 10 NJ. ThOuvenel, and the re-
suit is solemn protest OF Turkey against
the English occupation of the Isle of Perrin,
ut the southern entrance of the Red Sea. The
rapacious propensities of the British sufi-
ceDtly known, and their tendency under the name
Of annexation to appropriate the property OF
others to themselves has often been denounced,
but England does it in such an unscrupu-
lOus way that she often does not even deign to an
nOunce the occupation and annexation to the world.
There do not at present exist any public documents
about the seizure of Perrin and the neighbOrng
islands; we do not know whether it Is the Hon.
East India Company or her Majestys Government
who have taken possession OF those islands and for
tfes them hastily, so as 10 be able eventually to
close the Straits of Mandeb, should the Red
Sea ever be opened to European vessels by cutting
through the 1sthmus of SueZ. Turkey, at the In
stgatiOn of France, now demands 4" the uncondi-
tional restitution Of those islands, step which
- has become question of European right, Europe
" having guaranteed the integrity OF the Turkish
/" Empire" The question is certainly grave, though
the English point to Algeria, conquered by France
without declaration of war against Turkey,
whose unquestOnable province it wac, aud re-
tanned against the pledges both of Charles X. and
Louis Philippe TO England. Bat al this
happened before Turkey was admitted
into communion with the European powers, and
cannot excuse the impudcnt occupation OF those
islands, which reveals the readiness of England not
to respect the freedom of the seas, and the intent
eventually to close the Red Sea. Should this ques-
ton ever be brought before the Paris Conferences,
~ the Emperor Of France desires, then 1t Is quite
certain that England will have to encounter the
unanimous opposition of all the other powers that
signed the Paris treaty. The only way to escape
from this difficulty is to get the consent of the Sui
tan to the occupation OF Perrin, and 1t ID with this
view that Lord Radcliffe has again gone back to
ConstantBope, in order to to bully the Sui
IAN INTO q cteelOn before tn6 CODltTenCes can Do
assembled. Such precedent, however, would GER
tainy soon be followed by Russia and would actu-
ally annul the European guaranty OF the integrity
of Turkey. Any occupation and any private treaty
by any OF the great powers OF Europe reduces Iur-
hey into worse position than before the war, and
however insignificant may seem the Island OF Perm
TO the British people, its annexation s still the GER
tain seed out of which the destruction of Turkey
and new Oriental war must grow up. Mark these
words: within five years, if not before, they will be
fulfilled.
The fourth report Of the Postmaster General on
the Post Office, signed but not drawn up by the
DUKE Of Argyle, has just been issued among the
Parliamentary papers. Among many interesting
and some very amusing details, il contains the fol-
lowing piece OF information:
"The great intercourse both commercial and social,
between this country and the United States, renders
the present high rate of )stsge and the want OF
sion ofbooks and other printed matter, highly objec
tiopable. II is nor considerably more than year
made proposals 10 ne United States Post-Oce,
scih riee TO a great amendment an these matters 6Ut
kkerto haze not succeeded IN obtaining ehor assent
10 chat haze myself altered or coNnter,proposdts."
The India bill of the Cabinet is doOmed nobody
10 satisfied with IT, and the Cabinet itself is probably
soon to be upset. Dsraeli is no practical states
man, and is destroying the Tory party in the same
WY M Lord PalmerstOn has broken up the Wings.
Both these men are felt to be ntolerable nulsances
making mischief and preventing the reorganization
OF the parties. p. c.
