Affairs in Europe. The Coming
Struggle.


DgAR GRAysoN This day, ten years and
one month ago, | LEFT New York in the first
steamer of the Collnsline--ihe Atlantic, Capt.
James Wesl--and lave not sent you scratch
of a pen since my arrival on the shores of Eu-
rope. The American people not only like TO
be in possession Of facts but are always DESTROYS
OF looking into the future, 10 satisfy their end
Jess thirst for intelligence, and 10 give them
data for speculation.
Well, then, you may expect TO see all Eu-
rope in blaze by ths lst of September, proba-
bly sooner and you may make your calcula-
lions accordingly. Louis Napoleon is the mas
ser spirit of Europe, hut his bo1ndless ambition
win make ig the master of him--his plans are
laid. thew are deep, add his intention is TO take
time. He can afford TO wait, but those who
are assisting him, are itching for fame and dis
tnction. and what nd thinks can be done with
entire safety in three or four years, may be
forced upon him in three or tour months-the
recent movements Of Gsribaldi have precipiia-
r d matters; a few days have accomplished
what il was supposed would nave required sew
eral months, and htincs everything Is being
FASTENED.
The interview het,seen the Emperor and his
leading munster and Lord Cowley, the other
dsy. al the Tulieries, tells the story very
mainly. and France now hods the same atti
rade towards Epglauii, which she held towards
Austria subsequent to the famous speech on
New Years day Of last year to the Austrian
Minister. In certain circ.es Inc future is wei
understood; Garibaltli considers himself TO bt
The representative of Victor Emanuel, while
the relations betweel, that ruler and the EN-
peror Of the Frenchar of sucha character thai
the former is merely the agent OF the latter
and all Southern Italy is TO become by agree
ment part of France All inslnuations to the
contrary are sham, got up for purpose.
Russia is in the scheme ; she is to get Con
stantnople, AID ia &c, assist France in posses
sing Malta and Egypt; Austria is to be paci
fed by being guaranteed Slllistria, which shl
regards as more than compensation for he
loss in Italy; Belgium and Prussia are TO b.
provoked into war and it is calculated tha
France. aided by Russia, Austria aud Sardni
will be able to "licki' them both, even if Eng
land comes TO their assistance, in which case
the long-talked of ipuasion will be brough
about but, so far, the determination is to lin
il n to Ireland and Scotland, as il is believe
that the people of those countries can be NOR
easily managed than The logged English.
The above is an outline Of what you may ex
pecs to see thin Very limited period--Wa
terloo is to be avenged, the people of Franc
have never liked the entente cordiale wit
q peridlous Albion''--and the Napoleonic d,
nasty has insufficient strength for security vi
less something is done to break up this coque
Ting with England-ihe Chinese war with III
Joint fleets of the two countries, is an obstacl
ia the way-but that ended, the coast will
clear for aetIpn.
What effect these occurrences may have o
your people it is easy TO tel. AS like cause
produce like results. the inference is that ii
rates Of money will advance, that cotton wi
decline, that breadstufs, provisions, aud nav
stores will rise in vslue--and that the carr
ing trade will be in the hands of the Amer
cans.
