The News from Europe-lts Political Aspec,
In England and on the Continent.

Ahe news rom EuTOpe-ltS Political Aspect
In England and the Continent.
BY the steamer Bremen, which arrived last
night we have three days later news from Ell
rope. 1t proves beyond doubt that the treaties
Of Vienna have ceased to be the law of the Con
tinent, and that Louis Napoleon has become the
arbiter OF its destinies.
The victory achieved in England by his policy,
in the overthrow of the Derby Cabinet and the
advent Of Lord Palmerston and Lord John Rus
sell to power is of far greater consequence to
bin than all the victories he has gained from
Mentebello 10 Magenta 1t definitely announces
the fact that England will form and lead no
more coalitions against the Napoleonic ideas
so long as these conform to the spirit Of the age
in which we Ne. That Louis Napoleon COM
prehends this spirit we cannot but believe. His
Milan prociamatiops to the people of Italy and
to the army, have the ring Of sterling metal 10
them, and are promises to the nation
aities of Europe to the keeping Of
which he will be held by the nations
and by Tie fate Of his uncle. Russia has also
taken significant position in the circular to the
German Courts, and it is now apparent that the
three Powers Of England, France and lssia will
strive to confne the present war TO Italy.
There the uprising against Austria is unani-
nous. Her forces have been compelled to eva.
cuate nearly the whole of Lonbardy, where the
French and Sardinians have been driving against
their front ard the free corps of Garibaldi
threatening their right. From the Papal States
and the Duchies they have also been with
drawn, and are evidently concentrating in
and around the great historical square
ofmilitary strategy in Upper Italy, between the
Mincio and Adige rivers and where soon the
great struggle is to be made which will decide
whether Austria shall be shorn Of all her Italian
possessions, OF whether Louis Napoleon is to be
reused to further and more desperate efforts than
any he has yet made. The current Of events
thus far would seem to Indicate that he will
break through the great square as the first Napo
leon did at Castglioni and Arcola, unless. in
deed, he compels the Austrians to SURRENDER b.
operations from the east through Venice, for
which preparations are Oh foot.
The aspect Of political affairs in England is
calm and peaceful. Lord Palmerston had been
charged with the duty of forming liberal
Cabinet, but thus far nothing further had been
settled than the fact that Lord John Russell is to
be Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and that Mr.. Cob
den, and perhaps one or two othec liberals, will
nave seat in the Cabinet. This latter fact l. q

OUR DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SEGvICE.-We
publish ia another column complete list of our
diplomatic and consular representatives together
With the States from which they were appointed
The compensation attached to each Office, and
date OF the Haslmission, and also the existing va
caDcies. II Will be seeu that the enumeration of
all the salaried officers is exceedingly small,
while, at the same time, it may be taken for
granted that those who receive their com oensa-
ton from the fees of theiy Office only are not any
better paid. 1t will be remembered that our
diplomatic and consular system underwent o
complete change by the law Of l949, which af
fixed salaries to the large consulates IA place Of
fees By this arrangement the emotanents of the
Liverpool aud London Consular Offices we're cut
down respectively from abont $50 900 and $780,
600 year to the fixed salary of 500.
This amount may be sufficient 10 maintain The
dignity Of these Offices but it is, after all, poor
remuneration for the incumbents but the petty
salaries Of two or three thousand dollars, aud
even less, attached to tho smaller coasliates, is
entirely inadequate, not alone for .he services,
but the actual expenses Of the ooDsuis. Out of
this miserable stipend they are compelled
TO pay Office rent, clerk hire, if needed,
and all other contingencies, which must swallow
up the entire salsry; and as they ore pro-
hibited by the law, as now amended, from
transactng any business, either as agents or prn-
cipals, we cannot expect efficient and educated
men, as our Consuls should be, 10 starve in q
foreign post OUT OF pure patriotism. And while
this is true of the Consular Offices, It is still more
applicable to the position Of our foreign Minis
ters. For instance, the salary of 1850 year
attached TO the office of Minister resident at Lon
don and ct Paris does not cover the expenses
attending those stations. 1t is only men en-
dowed with large private fortunes who can afford
to live in the style which these positions demand.
Thus, we cannot set the right men in the right
places in our diplomatic and Consular service,
under the present arrangement The law, we
think, requires very DECIDED amendment in
this respect,
