THE STATE OF EUROPE
ps- Our owt correspondent.

TURIN, April 81, $780,
N.no,eon continues to keep his army as efficient
.. Aver and as be is certainly not 81 slave OF his
I. cords - 10 alarm Europe. In England the Cabi-
,.t "a divided as to the best policy TO be pursued
toward him. While Gladstone and Miner Gibson
haze faith in the pacific results of the treaty OF
commerce., which must, in the long run, establish
,ueh mutual commercial relations as make rup-
turc impossible Lord John Russell is looking out for
eventual allies against the schemes Of expansion
Of the French Emperor. But Germany remains
stiB divided, though uneasy about the Rhine, as
well as about probable, though officially denied,
alliance between France and Denmark. 1t is GER
Tain that the Bishop Mourad, now first Minister of
Denmark, had long interview with Napoleon
when he lately visited Paris for family affairs,
and Schleswig- Holstein will always give handle
TO the Danes for picking quarrel with Germany
In Russia, Prince Gorchakof7s influence has again
become paramount; the Gar, after short hesi'a-
tson between an Anglo-German alliance ana
policy friendly TO France, has found that the ia'ef
10 more favorable 10 the policy OF expansion III 'ne
Hast. Thus the overtures OF Austria ana frussia
have been rejected, and Prince Gorchakoh,
who for some time had reported himself aillng, is
now again well, and thinks no longer of going to
German watering place. In spite of the financial
difficulties and of all the questions raised by the in
tsrmnable affair Of the emancipation Of the serfs
Russia hopes to gain more by the friendship of Ma
poleon than by coalition against him, which implies
the.aerifces of war without territorial compen-
satiop in the East AS to Austria, her po-
yiton is becoming untenabe. The new scheme of
. lottery loan of 500 100000 having completely
failed, not more than $50, 600 having been
subscribed Baron Bruck is unable to restore the
Bank to sound state the paper currency continues
at a discount of 81 per cent, all commercial
transactions are paralyzed, an augmentation of the
taxes is impossible, and the general discomfort com
pletely bewilders the Ministers Political demon
aratons in Pesth have frightened the Archduke
Albrecht out of his wits. He has finally resigned
HE Office of Stakeholder, and could not be induced
t. return to Buda The Archduke Ferdinand Max,
returned from his penal cruise to Brazil has refused
he Chairmanship of the reformed Council of State.
Tor which it was impossible to find any Hungarian
b. take seat i'll it. The suicide of the celebrated
Count Stephen Szechenyi, the father of material
forms in Hungary, has produced such excite
ment all over the country, thatthe Cabinet resolved
at last 10 give concessions to the Hungarians. But
however painful they must have been to Francis
Joseph, for they imply kind of autonomy for
the kingdom, and complete change of the Ger
manizng and centralizing plans pursued for the last
twelve years. they will not satisfy the country 1t
n true that the partition of Hungary into five differ
ent provinces ceases, but neither the sO-called
WojwOdina nor Pennsylvania is included in the new
territorial division; the principle therefore remains
the as it was under Baron Bach. Again,
they resolved at Vienna to revive the cOun-
ties, but without free discussion or the right
81 election. OF course such concession is
laughed at in Hungary and the comedy of
commissions Of confidence men" to be reenacted
Tor discussing plan for provincial diet cannot
- take in anybody 1t has been too often repeated
without any result, not to leave the conviction in
N Me minds Of all the inhabitants that it is sham
meant for raising the wind at the moment when
Baron Bruck is trying TO induce some great bank
Dg house TO take up the remainder of his unsuc-
cessul loan. IL is likewise said that General Baron
Benedek, by birth Hungarian. and Protestant
as to be appointed Military Governor of Hungary
The General fought in lS49 against his country,
and was seen fleeing in the battle of Raab. He
ia therefore neither respected nor feared. With
such concessions Hungary will certainly not be ap-
peased while these could not be wrcnched from
the Emperor hut BY the plea of .sseIne neceSsitv
Distracted Austria is in her own provinces she
stiii exercises through the kings and princes of
Southern Germany a pressure upon the Federal
Diet at Frankfort, and opposes Prussia whom she
suspecfs of schemes of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Such being
The state of Central Europe Napoleon will certainly
make use Of the opportunity to fully establish his
superiority, nay his dominion over Europe. The
Oriental question: stunned and postponed by every
statesman Of Europe, ia now Ostentatiously brought
IN the foreground by him and his scribes. The En-
bassador at Constantinople said openly at his de
parure from Paris am going to Kill the sick man.
Still even Napoleon is sometimes reminded that his
will is NOT yet the law of Europe. We see a hand
full Of Swiss boldly oppose his appetite for annexa-
bon, and appeal to the Powers Of Europe in such a
manner as to startle the timorOus statesmen, and
all the more that the Federal army seems prepar-
ing for the worst. We cannot on the other hand,
deny that some of the more cautious Cantons, for
instance Zurich and Basel are trying to throw wet
blanket upon the flaming enthusiasm of Geneva and
Berne and the Federal Diet has not yet been called
together for an extraordinary meeting. So much,
however is certan-that, if the neutraiZed prov
mces of northern Savoy should fall into the hands
of France, Geneva herself would soon become
French. The $1,000 SayOyards residing in the
Canton as aborers might soon be taught t. raise
the cry of annexation, and with little management
ii would be easy to get majority even for such a
scheme. We must further not forget that the
District of Pruntrut, in the Canton of Bcrne, has
always had French symp0thies, and that the Can
tons of Vaud, Valas, and Neufchatel are French in
language. The danger of Switzerland is therefore
not imaginary and the energetic portion OF the ma
ZION is fully right to rouse the enthusiasm, t. arm,
and 10 prepare.
