THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Our Own Correspondent
LONDON, Friday, Sept 90, 1859.
The Moniteur has at last officially contrsdicted the
rumors Of Napoleons intention to place his cousin
upon the throne of Central Ita'y never credited
those rumOrs not only because Prince Napoleon has
always said that be does not wish 10 exchange his
position in Franc for second rate throne in Italy,
bu. because, duri his stay at Florence, he never
oourted the favols Of the population This negative
declaration Of the MOniteur does not, however,
throw any light upon the solution of the difficulties
The last Austrian proposition was, as far as we
know, TO appoint Prince Ferdinand, the accom-
plisbed brother of Francis Joseph, Viceroy OF We
META, with National Italian Administration, sepa
rated from the centralizing Government of Vienna;
10 allow the fusion of Parma with Sardinia to give
MUdens TO the Duchess Of Parma againsta pecunlary
naturalization 10 Ex. Duke Francis Vth., and to
replace the young Aicbduke Ferdinand on the
throne Of his father in Tuscany, with the oollga-
tion Of giving Constitution and representative
forms to the Tuscans, while Bologne would have
10 return under the dominion OF the Pope klng
Leopold was to make this plan palstable to NaPo-
leon at Biaritz but the Emperor evades any d.
rect answer and allows Central Italy time
either to develop their organization and
consolidation or to make some false step
which might give a pretext for lnterven-
ton. 1t is a good school for Italy, and may
rouse the efeminate Etruscans to craftsmanship,
since freedom, ~ DemOsthenes said, is the reward
of uDcessing watchfuness. Farini, Ricssoh,
Cipirani, Fanti and Garibaldi, these FIVE men who
now direct the destnes of Central Italy, are firmly
convinced that the materials with which they have
10 work Of the right sort, and can be used for
building up the temple Of Italian liberty. Their
ere,test difficulty is the financial question. In
order to be able to resist the threatening attacks OF
the Pope's Swiss troops, supported as they are by
70 called volunteers sent from Austria, and to
the Austrians disguised in the regimentals OF the
Duke of MOdena they have 70 keepuP an efficient
army, while they are unable to raise loan for
covering the expenses, and are unwilling to raise
the necessary funds by increased taxation, which
might create discomfort among the hterate classes,
and SOW the seeds for a movement in favor OF the
expelled Austrian Dukes.
Financial difficulties are, however, not confined
10 Central Italy, the Austrian Emperor is likewise
in great straits and has, therefore, appointed a
Commission for drawing up some plan by which
the Income of the State may be raised and the taxes
lowered If the Commissioners succeed IN their
task, they ought to take patent for such benef-
cent invention. The Russian Gar is likewise
pnched. The paper circulation OF the Empire
amounts to one hundred and ten millions sterling,
while the Government holds against this note la
bity only eighteen millions sterling in specie. and
three millions IN foreign stOckb, CuleDy II IcnCn
The worst feature, however is, that the income OF
the Government based chiefly on the monopoly OF
GIN and brandy, is declining through the spread OF
temperance principles, which the Car would not
dare and does not wish ~ put down. Not less dlii
cult is the position of the MOldoW alacblan Prince
Couza, who, Just at the time when his double
election has been ratified at Paris and Constantine
pie, has lost all his influence in his own country
and cannot maintain himself unless supported by
an army devoted 10 his person. On the other
hand, there is no money forthcoming for such an
army; accordingly, his throne is wayerlng. The
most influential man of the Principates is now
John Ghika, formerly Prince of Samos, man of
great talents and restless ambition. He is at the
head of the party of Young Daco Rom0nia, still
dreams of the conquest of Trsnsylvanis but wish
ing for the emancipation of the serts, well aware
that seridOm and yillansge are doomed in Europe
at the time that the Russisn Car proposes 10
abolish IT, Muchiis Bey, the son of the late Prince
Sturdza of MOdavia, is the leader OF the Boyards,
who oppose young Daco Romanis as too
revolutionary, but both parties treat Prince
Couza with contempt, as mere makeshlft, until
some European Prince of the reigning family might
be induced to accept the throne of MoldO- w Ala
CHA. In Seryia, the octegenarian, Mllosh, rules
with al iron hand, without any regard to justice
aud law. His Ministers, mostly his old associates
in the war against Turkey, or persons belonging to
hi. household are ilterate. The Minister of Jas
tee cannot write, though he was taught to sign
his name. The officials are fools, who have no
other duty but 10 obey the orders. The admins
traton is accordingly, very much IN the old Turkish
Pasha.hke style. asd unless Mllosh should soon die
he will once more be expelled from Servia, since n
new generation has grown up, educated at PeSth,
Vienna and Paris accustomed 10 principles different
from those which We're necessary for governing the
nude swineherds just emerged from under Turkish
oppression. Gsrashsnin is the most important man
IN the Principally; uDhappy he is distrusted, not
only by old Milosh, but likewise by Prince Michel,
the heir apparent, on account of the unbounded
popularity he enjoys throughout Servia.
The German movement has the good fortune TO
be theoretically opposed BY the Austrian Govern
ment which formally scolds the Duke of Ssxe-Co-
burg, in dispatch to the Saxon Minister, by the
King of Hanover, the hated of all the princes of
germany, and by the Grand Duke of Hesse
y Dsrmstadt Perhaps this opposition may give some
vitality TO the scheme, and nerve the lukeSarm
supporters Of Prussisn Leadership II more energy.
Southern Germany, with the exception OF portion
of Baden, remsins hostile 10 the plan OF Esenach,
and the Ministers of SsxoDy, Bavaria, Nurtem,
burg, and the two Hessies, have lately concocted
plan for the reform OF the FEDERATION, by which
these States, acting in perfect union, might seize
the balance OF power between Prussia and Austria
The Vienna papers denounce, of course, this new
trinitarian scheme AS strongly as the "Uai6citon
of tie friends Of Prussia. Ia the mean time,
they seem 70 forget thst they ought 10 prepare for
