Important and Warlike News from
Europe.

EUROPE
The steamship Europe at New York on the
22d inst, brings variety of important and
warlike news. 1t seems that at the usual
levee of the Emperor of France on New Years
day, an event occurred between Louis Napo-
leon and the Austrian Minister which occa-
stoned quite panic at the Paris Bourse and
heavy fall in the funds at London and else
where, from the apprehensions of disturb
ance of the peace of Europe. 1t appears that
on receiving the greeting of the Austrian Min
mister, the Emperor said to him with emphat-
ic tone and animated gesture: 81 regret sir,
that our relations are not so good as they
were; but request you to tell your EN-
peror that my personal feelings for him have
not changed" This is rightly deemed, from
man of Napoleon's habitual caution, most
significant of his warlike determination to
settle the negotiations with Austria that have
been going on for the last two or three
months with regard to Italy, at the swords
point if he does not obtain his demands. A
correspondent of the London Times init
ates in the following what are the, desires of
France.
The Emperor expresses himself very anx-
ious that reforms should be introduced there,
and particularly in the Roman States. The
Austrian government has been urged to use
its influence with the Pope and the King of
Naples for that purpose, and the Emperor
Napoleon has, am assured, agreed to the
withdrawal of the French troops from Rome
on condition that the Austrians should also
evacuate the places they hold. On both these
points the greatest opposition is met from
Austria; though it is a fact beyond dispute,
that the Italians are more disconnected than
ever with the rulers, more inf1amed than ever
with hatred against Austria, which no merit
of her representative or her generals will ev-
er mitigate; and as ready as ever to rise
against those they look upon as their tyrants.
Whatever be the real motives of the En-
peror Napoleon-whether he finds that the
continued occupation of Rome exposes him
to Odium on the part of the Italians, or from
whatever other views-he is fully aware Of
this exasperated feeling, and of the conse.
quences which may follow. and which, per.
haps, he would wish to prevent.
In the midst of all this comes the Ser
Wan Complication, and the probability of ar
Austrian occupation there also. This, it ap
pears, the Emperor Napoleon most decidedly
sets his face against. He will listen to no occu
patton, except joint one, ofServia, and under
the authority of the powers who signed thu
Treaty of Paris. We have every day new
accounts of the effervescence thai prevails il
Italy, discontinued, as we'll as of what il
passing in Servia. All this has produced it
effect on the Emperor's mind and thus not
withstanding his habitual reserve, he coult
not but show it yesterday, when the represen
tative of Austria stood before him. This,
think, you will find pretty nearly the tru
state of the case.
With this preliminary notice, we may thu
sum up the warlke news by the Europa.
Austria is moving heavy detachments of sol
diers upon Italy. Rumors prevailed at Pari
that Milan was in state of siege. At &c
noa the agitation was increasing, and repor
had been put in circulation that GAR1BALD
was about to organize volunteer corps q
revolutionists. The Austrian garrisons a
Lombardy had all been put upon a war-foot
ing. Modena was in fearful state of alarm
At Cremona, the Hungarian Regiment side
with the Revolutionists. SARDINIA, it is said
desires war, and is quite sure they will nc
be disappointed. The Servian difficulty
still unsettled. The powers which signed til
Paris Treaty were about to be appealed to b
the people of Ionia against the Government
Great Britain. A serious disturbance ha
broke out in Syria, and Omar Pasha had Gale
tor reinforcements from Constantinople.
