THE STATE OF EUROPE
From ou Own Correspondent.

TURIN, July 9, 1850.
TIE publication of Constitution at Naples has
considerably complicated the affairs of Italy,
especially since the alliance with Sardinia is the
principal point of the policy of the new Cabinet.
Count Cayours position now becomes really en-
barrassng. If he accepts the profered alliance,
he at once must dismiss the idea of accomplishing
Italian unity duslism is established on the PENN
sula, and the diplomacy of Europe will always be
able to play the two great Italian Powers against
another in order to parayze the forces of BOTH
The Italians feel this danger so acutey, that the
acceptance of the Neapolitan alliance would en-
tirely kill of all confidence in CayOur's statesman
ship and throw the lead of the movement into
the hands of the Revolutionary party Not even
Victor EmanUels popularity could survive such
blow and therefore we saw likewise the first
Italian Parliament otherwise so subseryient to the
present Cabinet, unanimously supporting the words
Of warning uttered by MaDcini and the Neapotan
martyr PoeTiO. But Napoleon, on the other hand,
whose influence on the decision of the Turin Cabi-
ut cannot be denied, strongly insists upon frank
acceptance Of the NeapOltan propositions, since he
fears that If the struggle continues in Sicily all the
revolutionary elements will flock to Garibaldi who
might soon be able, not only to break down the
power of the King OF Naples, but likewise to die
tate terms to Victor Emanuel. Russia, too de-
sires TO save the royal family of Naples, and the
Prince Regent Of Prussia IS on principle hostile to
any great territorial changes.
Thus assaulted from two sides, and threatened
, with the loss, either Of the confidence of the ma
ton or Of the goodwill OF the Emperor OF France
CavOur sent an eYasiye answer by young VIVA
marina to the new NeapOltan Cabinet, declaring
that if the Constitution should be introduced IN
GOOD earnest and If the people Of the Southern King
dom declare themselves satisfied with il; if the
right of Sicily to dispose of herself Is acknOwl
edged by King Francis l.. If he accedeS to an or
fensye and defensive alliance against Austria, and
fhe is willing 10 make of hs influence with the
Pope TO induce his Holiness formally to renOunce
the Legations, then, and then only, VIII SARDINIA
enter into an alliance with Naples.
Such an answer s, in fact, equivalent to REFUSAL
since II il known that King BombiUo first consulted
the Pope whether he might grant constitution,
and adv himself to Victor Emanuel. The answer
was that the Roman Catholic Church had no OBJ
lection 10 any form OF Government, as long as 1t
respected the rights and property OF the priests and
that an alliance with Sardinia might be excused by
poIitical necessity Still ii the King should ever
acknowledge or guarantee the alleged rights OF
Victor Emanuel To the Legations, the eXconmln-
cation would fall upon his headtoe However, II the
arrangement between Naples and SARDINIA seems
not vet feasible still Napoleon works hard both at
Naples and Turin to bring about some understand
inc returning to the Old plan of the Federal Union
of Italy under the honorary Craftsmanship OF the
Pope
The Sandman Cabinet stll remains, therefore, in
very difficult position, Gut OF which nothing Dut
revolution at Naples eXtricate It. The UNITY
and Independence OF Italy at stake. sharp, de-
cisiye revolution might achieve it at once. Patriot
ism and enlightened policy advise such revolution
Al Italy requires IT, and 1t is 10 be hoped that she
will find means for accomplishing it. And, luckily,
the conditions of the south OF the peninsula are such
IA TO make revolution not altogether impossible
The pubication of the Constitution excited no en-
tusiasm and as il is SIMPLY tie resuscitation of the
Constitution of 1913, the papers PRINT u hahciois
with King FerGinandS famous preamble, III when,
ON The 9Th of February, he called God to witness ms

later he repealed, banishlng and imprsohlhs ai
