THE STATE OF EUROPE
From Our Own Correspondent

dancers and aspirations, give you the following |
summary on the eve of my return to London. The
King is an honest Itahan patriot, who, without |
personal ambition, and in spite of his personal
reluctance to deprive his nearest relations Of their
throne-the Grand Duke Of Tuscany is his maternal
uncle and the King of Naples his only sisters SON
will work out Italian unity with courage and per-
severance. He has no despotic tendencies, does
not NEEDLE with the details of his Minister'S policy,
and wishes heartily the welfare of his people The
pomp and circumstances of royalty bore him to
death. He is never more happy than when in his
retreat at Mandria, where he lives in the style of
an English country gentleman, fishing for trout su-
perintendng his Arab stud of horses, hunting hares
and stays, and sometimes the chamois of the Alps
or the wild boar of the marshes. He takes life in
free and easy way; be loves fine women, manly
exercise, and frank Speech Proud of never hav-
ing told lie, he hates diplomacy, likes his faithful
opposition, and is always ready to risk his life IN
battle. Though his education was very much neg
ected, he is still the most popular of all European
kings in fact, the man who rec0nciled Italy to the
mOnarchc principle.
The Count Cayour is, as far as l see, the only
really great statesman of Italy; his policy exclu-
siyely devoted to the Unity of Italy, still labors
under the double disadvantage of being distrusted
by Europe as too revolutionary while Italy sus-
poets him of being too conservative restraining the
bold initiative of Garibaldi and his friends.
Farini too, who from physician rose to be the
Dictator of the Emilia and now Home Minister of
the new Kingdom, is man of superior talents and
broad patriotic views, still he has by choice bound
himself entirely not only to the policy, but to
the person of Count CayOur. They stand and fall
together. Thus even the possibility of strong
ministry without CavOur, disappears entirely,
while the great statesman, who directs the king
dom, enjoys no personal popularity, and though
commanding an overwhelming majority in Parlia-
ment, might easily completely use himself up. As
to the aim Of the policy of the italian kingdom It'll
exclusively the Unity of Italy. II is aggressive as
long as this aim remains to be achieved.
For the present moment, however, there is no in.
| ton here at Turin to 90 to war against Austria.
All the efforts are directed to revOlutionize the King
dom of Naples on both sides of the Faro, and it is
hoped that this task might be achieved before the
| autumn, to be followed by short campaign or
| revolution in October for Wrestling Umbria and the
Marches from the Pope.
| Thus strengthened, Italy thinks to be able to
struggle advantageousy with Austria for the pos
session of Venice, if possible without, if necessary
| WITH French assistance. As much as j wish for
| such solution of the Italian question, cannot but
| admit that the army of the new Kingdom Is not IN
| good condition.
| Fanti, the Minister of War, is poor admins
TRAITOR without organizing talent, unable to deal
with volunteers, and hostile to every revolutionary
element. His activity leads inevitably to the disso
luton of the army of Central Italy; but he VIII be
probably soon dismissed, though Count Cavour does
not exactly see who would be the man fit to become
Minister of War. The finances of the Kingdom
are not less confused. The taxes are heavy, the
system of taxation unjust, and Vegezd is not man
of comprehensive measures at any rate, he is not
the man to reform the finances of the State.
Garibaldi, though uncOnnected with the Govern
ment, is now the greatest an of Italy. His inpul
siye, generous nature has acquired the esteem aud
personal friendship of the King. The success Of
his Scilian expedition raises him high above every
other Italian name in the hearts of his country But
he never was and never can be Statesman. He
has no business habits, administrative talents L
do not doubt that he will conquer Sicily and pro-
badly Naples too, but then his task is accomplished.
The hero of italy, cannot govern it,
The Baron RicasO at Florence is certainly a
most remarkable man. stiff, obstinate never finch
ing, patriot. Like the Barons Of Runnymede, he
has scarcely any idea of liberty in the modern
sense of the word, but the unity of Italy has no
better champion than he. His iron will alone
preserved Tuscany for the kingdom, and it will
soon abolish that autonomy which was recommended
by France and accepted by Count Cayour in the be-
lief that the Tuscans desire separate existence.
year ago, Florence protested against becoming
provincial town. Now Etruria has no more ardent
wish than TO be amalgamated with the other pro
vnces.
Ratazz BuoncompagDi and all the host of local
celebrities cannot be called statesmen; great men
are as scarce in Italy as all over Europe
Here and there the dark man of the Tuleries
finds no resistance to his mysterious schemes.
Dstrust reigns at every Court, in every nation.
There is peace in the words, as Count
Cavour remarks, and war in the actions.
All Europe arms as if for great decisive battle,
but nobody knows where it shall take place, and
what viii be the object of the war. Some persons
believe that the storm about the East will soon
blow over, since England makes no open opposition

Still, even if the present year should not see a
new Oriental war, the understanding between Ma
pOleOn and Alexander is complete. England may
enter into the combination; but if she opposes it,
her opposition will not hinder the execution of the

II is remarked that though King Leopold Of Bel |
GUM twice visited the Emperor, the visit was not |
returned; that Denmark has lately assumed

French support; that French diplomatists tease |
the German Princes as if the Emperor had the |
right TO command and control them; that the pre-
pOnderance of France in Europe is mentioned by
French papers as the natural condition Of the Con-

Berlin required explanations about a confidential |
