THE STATE OF EUROPE.

LONDON, Friday, May Ia, 1859.
Tie FIRST Austrian campaisn is over. The plan
10 follow up the invasion Of Piedmont BY rapid
march to Turin WA baffled BY the unexpected
arrival Of the French and the rising Of the rivers,
while the low country was srtifcialy inundated
BY the cutting of the dikes. The Austrians, with
their traditional sloaness, lost ali the advantage
of being the first 10 the field. ard seemed to forget
that the snow melts every year IL Spring on the
Alps and Increases the body Of the waters. They
a:e now fast retiring. They have given up the
lue of the Sesia aDd will scarcely await the French
within the boundaries Of Piedmont. Francis
Joseph, who in the first instance, snubbed Baron
Eess for bis cautious plan of campaign, which was
to remain around Piacenza and TO accept the
battle under the cannons of the fortress, has now
lost tis confidence in the more daring plan of
Gyula and will, in few days, set out with Baron
Hess to supersede Gyulai in the command The
continuous rain and the retrcgrade movements
have considerably damped the military ardor OF
the Dung Austrian officers, who thought they might
within few days destroy the Sandman forces and
OCCUPY and plumber Turin. The hslo which sur
rounded Rsdetzky's army will soon DO diumed'
which was srtiic,s frou the very 60t and es-
pecislly manufactured by the German journals.
NAPOLEON has tskep the command, and is hailed by
his soldiers with Enthusiasm and BY tho Italians
With compete madness. II ne succeeds In his
maiden campaign. and makes generous use OF bus
victory in favor of Italian independence, he will &C.
cure the throne for his dynasty. II beaten, no is
lost With such heavy stakes We shall soon hear
If a great pitched battle, probably within week.
Russia solemny denies auy alliance with France
Stil, from, hcr cva.iva explanation, we may infer
that she has bound herself to watch Austria and
TO keep Prussia in awe 10 case she should esPouse
the cause of Austria. The Gear is not prepared
fer great war, but he may easily, by hostile neu-
trslty, psrayss an Austrian army aud the Teutouic
enthusiasm of Germany His first and principal
object is the emancipation Of the serfs, which has
already progressed 80 far that it cannot be post
poned any longer without cndangering the public
peace.
As regards England. as was said lately BY very
influential man, Lord Derby is at least for non-in-
teryention; Prince Albert for Intervention in favor
of Austria; and Lord Palmeston for Intervention
IN fhycr OF france. ne cltctoDs gave gnu w
portunity to the boroughs and counties forexpressng
their wishes for complete non-nterventon and hon.
est neutrality. As to Internal affairs, the Con-
serya.yes have gained about twenty seats aud are
still in minority Of about sixty votes in full Par
lament Still, they have consolidated their party
BY stupendous bribery. Lord Derby subscribed
10000 for the election, the Duke Of Northum-
berland E25, 600, each Of the three new peers
fIO0OO, and some ESQ, 900 more we're furnished
by the other members Of the Carlton Club. 1t is,
boweyera great question whether the Liberals
will be able to defeat the Ministry, which cngs to
Office. and cannot be busted but by vote OF want
of confidence Now the Liberals are not united;
the Radicals hate Lord Palmerston still more than
they hate Lord Derby, and the split between Lord
John Russell ard Lord Palmerston is not yet
healed.
We hear from Turkey that the agitation in Bos-
MIA and Bulgaria is On the increase, and an out
break may soon be expected. The Sultan has in
creased his army BY an additional 10000 men along
the Danube but be has no good officers Omer
Pasha is jealous Of every rising man; and the
stoiidity of the Turks prevents them from making
the proper use Of the foreign officers in their SER
