EUROPEAN CoxPLfcATIoxs.--Nothi has
been heard from the Deliberations At Zurich
but the following from an article In the Paris
Patrie, on the necessity Of an European Con.
gress will show the difficulties which have
arisen among the plenipotentiaries there as
sembled:
Sardinia and Austria, then, are incompatible
ut Zurich. Their plehipotentiaries already
decline direct communication with each other;
of the French representative. So, before an
agreement could have been come to, they won't
even listen any longer to each other. This is
u situation that greatly impedes mutual un-
derstanding.
France. it is true, does all she can to alIay
this antagonism. She arbitrates with an au-
thority equal to her wisdom. She brings to
the negotiations spirit OF business that un-
doubtedly would succeed were il not confront
ed by the obstinate resistance of Austria.
Great, however, as is the ctnciiiatory dispo-
sition OF France, she nevertheless cannot go
to such length as to yield to Austria what
she cannot abandon, and what she has the
right to consider as the fruit of her victories.
France wishes Italy TO be independents; Aus
tria does not wish III.
France wishes the confederation to be Ital-
ian; Austria wishes it to be Austrian.
France wishes the Pope 10 consolidate his
power by prudent reforms; Austria wishes
The Pope to remain SUBJECT to'intiuences anti
pathetic to the French mind.
France desires that the Dukes of Tuscany
and Modena may be able loyalty to become re-
conciied with their peoples; Austria desires TO
impose them by force.
France wants the fortresses Of the quadran-
gle to be occupied by a federal army; Austria
wants these torfresses TO be occupied bar.
racks by her army, that this may remain as a
permanent menace against the independence
of Italy.
Notwiths tanding her spirit of generous and
wise conciliatien, we greatly fear that France
herself will be unable 10 carry out her arbitra-
ti0n between Austria and Piedmont.
Recourse must be had, then, TO another ju-
risdiction. Europe alone is competent tojudge
and solve such great difficulties, such serious
interests.
For all these reasons the italian question in
short, as it appears to u.s. can only be settled
by European Congress Thesword of France
has cut through the treaties that consecrated
ninsula. 1t is to the authority of Europe that
it appertains to complete the work.
With reference to the Papal question, the
language:
The Pope is one thing, and the temporal
head OF the Roman States another; the former
will increase in grandeur and strength in pro-
portion to the humiliation and weakness of
the latter. State-meu need, therefore, be un-
der no alarm about the problem raised by the
italian question. The Pope, as a temporal
prince is entitled to no more respect than
Austria, from which France has taken Lom-
hardy to transfer it to Piedmont, or than H. g
Dukes whose deposition has been declared by
the immense majority of their subjects. The
hour Of retributiOn is sure to come sooner or
later. 1t has come for Austria and for the
diminutive despots that gravitated around
her; 1t Will come for the temporal chief of the
Pontifical Sta.es, and the world will not be
DISTURBED thereby, while the interests of reli-
gion will be promoted.
