The Tribune's Turin letter of May 10th
says:
The year 1860 bids fair TO become as i'm
portant for Europe as for the United States,
We have already witnessed the annexation
of Parma, ModeHa, Tuscany, and the Lega-
tions to Sardinia, the cession of Nice and
Savoy to France, the insurrection Of Sicily,
and Garibaldis expedition and now the
Eastern question, too-the most formidable
Of all European questions-is again reopen
ed. NJ. Lavalette, distinguished for the di-
plomatic skill by which he was able 10 ag-
grandiEe the difficulty concerning the keys
Of the Church at Jerusalem, aud the silver
star at Bethlehem, until the Russian war and
the Crimean campaign grew out Of these
squabbles, has again set out for Constantine
pie with secret instructions. Prince Napo-
leon is TO follow him in about one month,
and a French feet is in readiness at ToulOn
10 sail 10 the East. In the mean while, q
Russian army is silently assembling in the
south Of Russia, the Caucasian army corps
remains undiminished, strong enough to
overrun Asia Minor, and Prince Gorchakoff
is unmasking his diplomatic batteries at st..
Petersburg by calling the ambassadors Of all
Europe, with the exception Of the Turk, TO-
gether, and inviting them TO take the cOndi-
ton Of the Christians Ia Turkey into consid-
Grafton. This is the first step for killing the
sick man, whom now even the skill Of his
English friends cannot save. Russia and
France have come 10 an understanding about
fair partition, as a basis for revision of the
territorial arrangements Of Europe. If Eng
land willing 10 enter into this compact, she
may have the first choice, and the lions
share if she refuses, the work will be done
without her, and even against her.
Austria, too, was 70 have got a share in
this partition, according to HapoleOn's
scheme. He wished to befriend Francis Jo-
seph; but Prince Gorchakoff's antipathy
against the ingratitude of Austria, which is
felt by all the Russian army, and the stub
born, short-sighted policy Of Vienna, pre-
vented a previous understanding. The En-
peror of Austria still looks to Italy. He
cannot forget that he was deceived at Villa
franea when he relied on Napoleon's promise
as regards the restoration Of the Archdukes
of Modena and Tuscany. He supports the
Pope and the King of Naples, and he must
oppose the Prussian schemes Of unifcation
in Germany, and thus he cannot agree with
the plans of the French Emperor. His posi-
ton is really lamentable; his army is de-
moralized, his administration discredited,
his finances in the most distressing confu-
sion, his subjects openly defy his orders, and
still his pretensions are now as extravagant
as they were when Metternich's talents and
prestige brought to bear the weight of the
whole empire upon divided Germany, emas-
culated Italy, and defeated France.
Garibaldi's prOverbial good luck has favor
ed him in his present desperate expedition.-
Having left at 0rbitello a small force, under
the command of Zaubianchi and of Siculi, to
carry the insurrectiOn through the Roman
States to the Abruzzi, he left on the 9th Porto
Talamone not without having provided him
self with a few guns from the small fort
which protects that station, and, envelopedin in
a thick fog, succeeded in making Cape Bon on
the coast of Tunis. Thence he returned to-
ward the western coast of Sicily, but was
perceived by two Neapolitan frigates, which
at once gave chase 70 him. He had four
hours advantage over them, but every hour
diminished their distance from him. But,
putting on all steam, he safely arrived in the
harbOr of Marsala, and hastened to land,
when a volley from the frigates just arrived,
killed four of his men. By lucky chance,
however, it happened that two English ships
had anchored in the harbor, and, some of
their officers being on shore, the captain or-
dered the Neapolitan frigates to desist from
firing until his officers should return. The
Neapolitans obeyed, and Garibaldi, taking
advantage of this delay, landed all his men
and stores. The NeapOlitan garrison fed at
once, and carried the tidings of Garibaldis
arrival all the way to Palermo, while the frig-
ates fired their broadsides most beroically into
the two empty steamers, abandoned by the
crews, until they sunk one and captured the
other. The Italian hero had already taken
possession of the town, and hastened toward
MOnreale, where the forces of the insurgents
were concentrated. He met on his way three
different corps, which had been sent against
him; but each time the royal troops took to
their heels as soon as they got sight of the
red blOuces of GaribaldTs volunteers.
Hungary is on the verge of a revolution;
but no outbreak will take place before Aus
tria is involved in a foreign war.
