TIE STATE OF EUROPE.

took the work Of diplOmststs likewise into his
bands and made a peace, without the aid OF his
Ministers, without any concert with the other
European powers, without Congress or diplomatic
fornalities. Two interviews with the Emperor Of
Austria settled everything, and the world is sur
pri,ed to hear that the two despots Of France and
Austria are reconcled. The peace is as mis-
hievOus as its author; it settles nothing; 1t
gives no satisfaction 10 tie nations Of Eu-
ropes it has DO elements Of stability; it
cheats everybody; and it humiliates all the
Princes of Europe. The King of Sardinia, but
lstely the idol of the italian nation, gets BY the
grace Of Napoleon, without havir taken part in
the negotiation, the crown of Lombsrdy; but even
this acce ssion 10 Sardinia is not complete the pro-

euce Of vhich ss yet in the clouds He never can
accept position by which bis sovereign power Is
curtailed, and in every confederation the indyid-
usl princes must give up portion Of their soyer-
eien powers, and submit to the decree OF
the maority, which, Of course, cannot fail
10 be Austrian, since the Austrian LIN
peror will always cast his own vote for Neneta,
those of his two cousins of Modeua and Tus-
cspy and probably that either Of Parma or Of
Naples. Sardinia loses thus the direction OF the
aaairs Of Italy. Cavour saw all this at once, and
therefore resigned his Office. As to Austria, her
military prestige has now disappeared forever:
though she got BY her defeat such influence over
Italy as she had not been able to obtain IN forty
years Of ntrgues she lost one Of her richest prov
inces. and must, Of course, at least for time be
subservieDt to Napoleon.
Prussia is in a false position. The mobilization
of her army has given offenee to France, while
her neutrality has estraDged her from Austria,
and there are plenty Of people who believe that she
will be the ultimate victim of the sudden and sus-
pcious friendship between Napoleon aud Francis
Joseph. They say that the fact of the French En-
peIor's throwing away the great chsnce ne held to
become the greatest and most popular man OF the age,
seems to Indicate further sinister schemes, to
which be obtained the promise Ofacqnles,ence If not
Of cooperation from Francis Joseph. These schemes
concern probably the Rhine. Nobody is satisfied
with the peace except the Manese, VINO get rid
Of the Ausirians, the Orleanlsts and Repubii-
cans, who feared that Nspclson would firmly
establish himsefin power by freeing Italy from the
Austrians, ard Mszzin who now sgain begins to
be power in Italy. The sristocracy of England
feels offended that the English Government was
left out Of oil the arrangements, and the people,
because Italy has been betrayed.
The following letter to The London DAILY Ners,
from the pen OF al able writer, gives fair specl-
men of the feeling created in society by the news
of that peace;
