Prospect OF Trouble in Europe.

European dQdifS are III dS EEcttb SildTt
as our gloomy Cabinet suppose American
affairs to be- The continent is full of
complexities, which nobody can straight
en- out. Every new step in the attempt to.
settle difficulties only reveals more clearly
the fact that they are not soon to be settled.
Such is the passion for strife, that poor old
Spain is bent upon getting little glory
from pounding the half-savage Moors, If she
cannot be allowed to supplant the French
in Rome It remains to be seen whether
she is not acting under French advice and
inspiration. ss 80 ,sssg..ss t,sssS s. -
The plenipotentiaries at Zurich have
thrown the terms of the Villa Franea agree
ment into the form of q treaty, which, how
ever, had not been ratified, when the
steamer sailed. IF we have the points cor
rectly stated, it is not easy to see how Ma
poleon III. can sign it consistently with his
promises to the Italians, or how all its re-.
qairements can be complied with compati-
bly, with the peace of Italy, For we are
told that the rights of the expelled dukes
are expressly reserved. Now that stipula-
ton is an insult and raoekery to the dukes,
if il meahs that their titles to their thrones
are recognized and yet their subjects are to
be allowed utterly to disregard these titles
But the French Emperor has said again and
again that the people Of Central Italy shall
not be forced to receive their deposed sover-a
eigns.. And every days experience, since
he first gave the revolutionists that assur-l
ance, has only made il more apparent that
bis confidence in their capacity for more
liberal government than the one they had
destroyed was not misplaced. Even ifahs.

months would furnish sufficient ground for
modifying the course which he had marked
out. With the promise to the Italians still
on his lips, how can he insist on the return

We are informed, moreover, that q the
high contracting parties are TO unite in
securing reform in the Papal states. The
Pope has virtually declared that he will re-
sist with all his might any attempt to force
upon him the reforms which the French
Emperor suggested before the war BEGAN
All the bishops in Southern Europe are de-
Tending him in his course. How, then, can
healthy changes be peacefully inaugurated
in his dominions? Besides, it must not be
forgotten that Garibalui and his soldiers
have word to say about their own fate.-
Central Italy is not now mere football to
be kicked hither and thither. She has an

hope that the day is past when aer wishes
and will can be wholly disregarded. She
dares to protest against the gross violation
of her rights, and she has the strength to
lend an emphasis to her protest.
We think that those Engh~I journals are
right which counsel the government to par
tlcipate in no congress which has for its
basis the execution of such treaty as is
now proposed. They have nobiy commit
ted themselves TO the cause of Italian free
dom. They cannot, with any selErespect
take part in a congress which is called to
carry out plan that is utterly hostile to
the best interests of Italy. Let them urge
upon France and Austria the Importance,
the justice, the necessity of recognizing the
rights of the Italians. Let them demon
strate, as they may so easily that there
will be no peace in Southern Europe so long
rs Italy is subject to the atroeious Disrule
which has cursed her so long,. They can
do more by manly and independent sup
port of the italian cause out of the con-
gress. than they can by entering upon ne
gotiations which take as their starting point
and foundation the terms of the Villa
Franco agreement.
