The Ne,os from Haly--Napoleon md his Policy
Palnaerston Entangled in the Nalian Affair
Prussia and AuStria-Americdns IN Bius-
sells, &c, dc.
The sudden news of the suspension of hostiities
in Italy, followed by the announcement of peace,
has created naturally profound sensation in Eu.
rope. The telegraphic dispatches from st.
Petersburg, London, Berlin, Paris and vien-
ma, speak Of the astonshment Of all the
Powers at the extraordinary manner in which
Napoleon after humbling the pride of Austria, and
laying the foundation of Italian nationality, has
fallen back upon the English alliance and framed
the basis of the reorganization of Europe in the in'
terests of England. Now, the interests of England
not those of Russia or of Austria To make
Venice free port, like Bremen or Hamburg, is no
part Of Englands plan; so Napoleon tacks it on to
Austria, but SO loosely that it may fall of ut any
moment. Italian nationality is a good cry
for France; is the name of dignity
and importance attached to the Pope. Sardinia
has made step forward, but not too far forward.
Italy is free, but too Free England ia gratiied
but not so completely master as before. Russia is
taken by surprise and bewildered. AS to Austria,
Napoleon leaves tito Prussia to finish during peace
within the Germanc Confederation, the work com.
menced by France on the plains Of Lombardy. Prus.
sia will crush the last remaining elements OF
power out of Austria, and arrive thus at the
realization of an united Germany, or one
great German Power, as contemplated by Napo
leon l., and as Swallowed forth in his Berlin de-
crees. Simultaneously England must follow up the
lead of France in Italy, and press for more per
feet union of the States there. In fact, Napoleon
has done enough to crafty the French people and
bis army to enlist the hearts Of the Italians, to
plant everywhere the seeds of revolt in every
nationality held down by superior force, and to
make Paris the focus, under imperial power,
of revolution, pure and simple But while
he has done all this he has left undone just enough
to excite the cupidity of other Powers aud prevent
them from combining against himself There is 80
much left to others which France might have taken
that England, Prussia and Russia will be profoundly
attracted by the spOls, and consequently dsunted
in their policy.
The chief point of interest must continue to
be the effect of this new order OF things in
Italy upon Germany. The questions of the
Prncipalties and of Turkey have their remote
significance to the speculative politician who loves
to dwell upon the triumph of Christianity over bar
barism in the East: But Germany is the "heart" of
Europe and Berlin the DRAIN" From Prussia
comes all the warmth and freedom and animatng
blood of civilization, as well as the thinkers
who direct its course. The German Confedera-
non is the OASIS OF European power. NapO-
leon, by driving Austria from Italy, forces
the politicians of Vienna to fall back
upon the confederation, in order to crafty those
schemes which have already blasted Italy. Prussia
will meet this policy by q counter policy, and
! predict that in one year France may be
called upon to intervene between Austria and
Prussia 1t is to this point, then, that public at
,ention should be directed. England is pledged
10 complete IN Italy bv political means aohdt
France has initiated by force of arms. As
said before, new order of things in Germany is
the inevitable consequence of new order of
things in Italy.
AS to Hungary, if Kossuth moves there at all,
it is under the protection of Russia and not of
France. see that the Cologne Gazette states that
Hungary is inundated with circulars from Kossuth
who says 81 will manure your soil for thousand
years and reconquer your liberties" He calls
upon the people to destroy their crops and follow
him.
The death of King Oscar of Sweden. is an
nounced He is succeeded by the Prince Regent
who is proclaimed King of Sweden and Norway
with the title of Charles XIV. The new monarch is
very Russian in his tendencies. Brussels il filed
with Americans. The Hon. Mr. Keitt of South
Carolina, and his lady have just left. The Hon. Mr.
Clingmsn, of North Carolina, is at Spa. For the
