THE STATE OF EUROPE.

LONDON, Tuesday, March 90 1860.
Events in Italy march quick (. Victor Emanuel
nas accepted tho crowns OF PaT'ns and Modena, and
even of the Romagns, though be proclaims the
utmost respect for the sovereignty Of the Pope and
willingness to pay him a tribute. Within few
days be win accept likewise the crown of Tuscany;
still Cayour il too shrewd statesman not to see
Chat the centraEziDg system is unfit for Italy, and
would ruin the country as thoroughly as it has
ruined Austria. Tuscany will retain her Leopold
me laws drawn up according to the principles and
BY the advice of the celebrated Beccaria. FlOrenc
will have Viceregal Court; and even the peculii
traditions and institutions of Lombardy and of th
Romaena are to be respected. The bond of ubioa
to be Represented by tie King the Parliament, the
Ministry, aud the Army, which will be common I
them all. Thus the peculiarities of the different
component parts of the Upper Italian realm will
remain unchanged, while their united strength
toward the common enemy will not be impaired.
The question is now whether the Pope will give his
assent to the annexation by accepting the tribute
offered by Victor Emanuel, though protesting
loudly against the spoatiOn of the patrmOny of st.
Peter, or whether he will hurl the anathema
maranatha against the audacious King and his Min
isters. If he chooses the latter, we may be sure
that Austria is backing him. and that we shall have
war first the army of the Pope and of the King of
Naples attacking the Sandman garrisons of the RO
magma, and then an Austrian invasion, followed by q
French war. The very unwise annexation of Savoy
and Nice, which you may now take for accom-
phshed, has spread general alarm among the
crowned heads of Europe, and may soon lead to a
coalition against France. We see that Prussia is
Strengthening her army organization, in order to
be ready for all eyentuaities while at ST. Peters
burg, the rumored dismissal of GOrchakof and
the appointment of Budberg as his successor, indi-
Gates, if true, that the Russian and Ant-Austrian
party, is losing ground, and that an alliance be-
tween Austria, Russia, and Prussia, looms in the
future. Such an alliance cannot have any other
meaning than French war for the extirpatiOn of
BOnapartism, and the restoration of legitimacy.
The Eastern Empires cannot allow the principles
of universal suffrage to be introduced into the pub
lie law of Europe. They fear, too, the appli-
cation of the French theory of natural bOun-
diaries on the Rhine; and they must band together
or else submit TO the insOlent supremacy of Napo-
leon. The French Emperor, however, who tram
ples the treaties Of 1915 under his feet and even
disreqards the Just claims of Austria, feels himself
strong enough against any coalition not supported
hy English subsidies, since he can at any moment
evoke the principle of nationality from its grave,
and destroy the combinations of Legitimacy by call
ing Hungary TO arms. He has wisely made friends
with the English nation; the commercial treaty
was really sop thrown to England, and she viii
BOW not repeat the policy Of the younger Pitt Her
eutrality is secured.
