THE STATE OF EUROPE.

With the consummate skill of theatrical man.
ager, Napoleon has again surprised the world, and
even his own Ministers, by an official note in the
Monitsur, sent to the editor straight from the
waters of ST. Sauveur without the knowledge of
Count Walewsk. Its Importance is increased by
the fact that il penned after an interview with
Prince Richard Metternich, the Austrian Embassa-
dor. II may therefore be taken for an answer to
the Austrian Overtures Just in the same way as he
apologized to Italy after the peace Of Vilafranca
for having been unable completely to carry out his
programme to free Italy from the Alps to the Adrl-
ATTIC, he now apologies to Austria for being unable
to carry out the stpulatiOns Of the Treaty OF Va-
francs. He coolly declares to Francis Joseph that
he cheated him, when he promised to get the
Arctdukes back into their duchies in order to give
certain msjority to Austria in the proposed Italian
Confederation. Since the return Of the Archdukes
is now not practicable, Napoleon being ayerse to
adv military interference, an Italian confederation
cannot any longer suit Austr,; nay, after the
declaration of the Monaear, We cannot see what
could prevent the aggrandizement of Victor Eman-
uel and the final annexation Of the Duchies, and
even of the Legations, to Sardinia. Thus all the
coints of the treaty favorable to Austria having
been put at naught, the French Emperor sneerngly
acknowledges that Europe may expect from Aus
tria the most unmtigated tyranny over Venice.
Francis Joseph has the right, according to the
| Moniieur, to fay his Venetian subjects, since he
gains nothing by governing decently, and by re-
spectipg the interests of the Italian province. Ma
poleon says he will not prevent Austrian tyranny,
III al for
nor Prussia, nor England fight for an idea; tits
only France which sheds her blood, and sluanders
her treasures for foreign nation without looking
TO material advantage, solely for the glory of de-
festipg the Austrians, and raising a third-rate
power in Italy to frst-rate one. We have as
vet no information how this strange declaration Of
the Imperial policy has been received at Vienns-
whether Francis Joseph will quietly pocket this
new insult, or whether he will resent it and rush
| once more to arms. In Italy however the note
of the Monitor, will be greeted with enthusiasm
| and having low the certainty that the Austrian
Archdukes cannot be brought back, the Tuscsns,
| Modenese and Parmese, as well as the Government
| of Victor Emanuel will meekly submit to the re-
prosch, that they have preferred the partial sue
cess of uniting three million Italians more under
the scepter of an Italian liberal king to the devel.
opment of an Italian Confederation in which Aus.
| tris would have been predominant. Bot NapO-
| Icons Italian policy does not stop even
at this point. Count de Grammont has
declared to Cardinal Antonelli bis Imperial
masters deep regret, that, since the Pope has not
| attended to the reforms repeatedly recommended
| by Napoleon. there is now no longer any chance
for the Popes retaining full sovereignty in the Le
cations, and that . nominal suzerainty and an
annual tribute must be all that the Holy See can
expect from Bologna and the Province beyond the
| Apennines. He further announced to the enraged
Cardinal that the French troops garrisoning Rome
only ss a counterpoise TO the Austrian occupation
| Of Ancona, must be withdrawn in February next,
since the departure of the Austrans from the Lee
cations makes the prolonged stay of the French
troops at Rome and Civita Vecehia illogical, and
that the Pope WILL therefore, have TO provide him
self for his security, and the maintenance of tran.
duillity in his States. Cardinal Antoneh received
this intimation with defiance, since he trusts that
the Bourbonic Roman Catholic powers, Spain aud
Naples. will prove better support to the Pope
than the treacherous help Of France, which has
pierced Inc Lanu ieoulng VI IL. AZ Nono A""0'0i,

As to Naples, the kingdom is in state OF transl-
ton; the peculiar explosion by which the Swiss
regiments have disbanded themselves, deprves the
King of the only Trustworthy support of bis des-
potism. He is now forced to rely upon his own
army, but the gap made BY the departure OF above
eight thousand men cannot be filed up as quickly
as be would wish, and the material from which he
must f,bricate his soldiers is not entirely 70 De
trusted. It is true that Filangier and lschiteua
are dreaded as liberals and progresssts at the
Court of Naples, and that they have been entrusted
with the ministry as concession to public
opiniou but il is more than doubtful whether these
statesmen will have sufficient influence at Cours,
and the necessary time for introducing their tame re-
forms, before things take more serious turn Sicily
wants something more than an improvement OF ths
wrstched administration, and the Italian spirit swaA
eped by the war sgsinst Austria h,s been strength

the representatives of the nation freely elected oy
the great bulk Of the population have set at naught
the principles of divine right and the uickery Of
modern diplomacy, By freely disposins OF their
Government, and choosing their own princes with
