The aspect of European affairs has changed
Esuddenly again. A week ago the appearances
were decidedly pacific. The conceded with.
sdrawal of the occupying armics-French and
EAustrinn-irom Rome, was looked upon as the
Hnitintory step TO some agreement among th,
gdispntng monarchs, which would lead 10 n
HSettlcmen,, by which war would certainly be
Havoided. The last accounts look upon the
sjoint evacuation as still Undetermined, and the
Ercputed arrangement as likely to be broken by
athe Pope himself craving the presence of troops
stor his own projections or 10y the Jealousy OF
sthe rival governments neither being quite wi

for actual invasion and for defence, are chroni.

san question, as 4 mere questioa with Austria :.
If there were anything real in the desire to-
1 apromotc real Italian independence, or to give
snew rights to the Italian people, it would not
5be Austria alone that would be attacked for her
Z aamiseovernment Rome, Tuscany and Naples,
land the duchies that are little despotiSms in
Ether way, would be included in the genera
Nlesign. But the passion for war and reform
Htogether takes the single, unavowed out utl'I
innate ann, of tearing away from Austria posi-
Ssession in Northern Italy, which have beenE
hers for centuries by title clear as that byt
] which any monarch in Europe holds his throne;i
sand older than most of them. It would be al
agood thing for the advance of political improve.

RATHER STRANGE PRocEpURE.-We are in-I
formed that few days since poor Mexicans
family living at Laredo, lost a child. As Isl
the custom under such circumstances, the al ;
fitted parents called upon the parson oi the1
lvicinage, and offered $3.50 to pay the stlPniat-
led price for grave for their deceased child M
1.-The neighboring graveyard. They were m /
Horned tba, their child still could not be bu-s
ried there unless they paid some $50 more tof
nav tho funeral service of the deceased. Thct
H. afflicted narents called several times upon theS
narson and plead their poverty and inability toE
u said amount, and were as often refused
isenuIfure, and were finally compelled 70 bury q
itheir child under the floor of their humble cot-E
lfaGe.
The above facts come TO US from reiabes
source, and if true can but be looked uPonH
with feelings of reproach BY citizens OF any
Enlightened community. A. IeTaa.
