zion of 1t is not only irreconcilable with the
public feeling OF Europe, but calculated at
arv moment 20 involve II in war. Iet when
,xe find tie liberator of Sicily writing to the
King of Sardinia that he only designs Naples
az a resting place for his troops on their way
10 the conquest OF Venice, we cannot but adj
nit that il was the most natural thing In the
world for Austria to take the alarm. Nor Is
This all that Austria will claim She may say
that in Difference to the public opinion Of Eu-
rome. she remained quiet when Sicily, having
FIRST burst out into instruction, was OPEN
Iv sided by GARiBALDI in the recovery OF
her freedom To rem ain thus quiet was, In tact
only to pay obedience to the principle OF non
intervention, recognized by the treaty Of VIII
la Franca. and guarant eed by the opinion of
the werld. But that is very different thing
from exciting an instruction In Naples
where previously none had existed. and taking
advantage Of it by marching upon the city
We should have supposed That GARlBALDi
had recognized this aspect OF the question, and
that hence arose his delay 10 march at once
upon the city of Naples, had We not observed
that yhile he proclaims his intention not to
advance TO that city until IL snail nave
ha.n in instruction month. his forces
have already oyerrun Calabria, the southern
extremity Of the Neapolltan Kingdom. And
vat for Austria 10 threaten an armed interyeu-
lion in favor of a cause so utterly lost as that
of FRANCIS II, appears 10 US the extreme OF
iptatuation; for she must be well aware that
her right 10 do so will not be acknow led ged
by Sardinia, England, and, above all, France,
aud that the first and last named of these
Powers are pledged alike TO the absolute re-
striction of Austrian influence in Italy, TO the
province of Nenetia. The position OF France
and Sardinia has been virtually recognized by
Russia, and whatever may be said OF Prussia
aud the rest of Germany, there are, as yet, nc
indications of a disposition TO assert a differ
ent line of policy. In fact, the progress OF
events, since the treaty of Villa-Franca ha s
clearly defined the relations OF the parties &c
each other and To Italy. Should Austria ven.
1ure upon an infraction of that peace, she
must do so at the risk of entering single.
handed into a contest with all Italy, backed
by the formidable power of France. Yet, in
locations are not wanting that she proposes
not only TO recover ali that she lost i'll the
Deuinsula herself, but to restore IL TO the con.
dition in which it existed previously TO the
war OF 1859.
As long as Austria retains possession o.
Italy, SO long Will the peace of Europe resi-
upou a foundation of sand. She must be sub.
lect, at all times, to come in contact with
the spirit of Italian unity, now pervadi ne
Italy from the Alps to the Straits of Messina
There are influences constantly at work to
italy itself 1t cannot fail, whenever it takes
place, to agitate TO the very foundation not
only Hungary, but Croatia, Pennsylvania
IlIyria, aid all the possessions of Aust ria
bordering upon Turkey. The excitement will
inevitably peryade Wallachia and Bulga-
ria as we'll as the Turkish provinces on the
Danube where the population is Christian in
the proportion of three or four To one, and ar
I,a TO mad with HIM
Croatia and Transy lvania, into one great
Empire, n umbering twenty five millions ofin-
habitants, and commanding both sides of the
Danube TO its mouth That this view has
already presented Itself TO the capacious mind
of the French Emperor, is made sufficiently
evident from a pamphlet lately published in
Paris in which the author ssumes that the
map OF Europe is to be remodeed that Tur-
KEY is TO be abated as a nuisance; that its
place is to be supplied by a king dom composed
OF ali the tribes between the Persian g ulf and
the Black Sea, with ABDEL KApER for King
and NAPOLEON for protector; that CONSTANT
n1ple is TO be a free Town like Hamburg,
Lubeek and Bremen and that Bosnia, Servia,
WalIachia and Moidavia are 10 be erected
into an independent confederation. with the
Code NAPOLEON for their system of laws, and
the decimal system for their money. This
pamphlet is OF that semi-official character of
which We have had so many examples in the
publications of NJ. ABOUT and others If it
serve no other purpose, 1T is at least a sign of
the direction which the French mind is TAX
ing, and il is indicative of the extreme delicaey
OF that Eastern question which is hanging
over Europe like a thunder storm, and w hich
will be certain to burs; into action whenever
Hungary and her neighbors shall once IN ore
begin 10 move.
1t may be said, then. that the relations of the
Great Powers are tickiish in the highest de-
gree The conferences of Austria and Prus-
STA said to have had reference, alone to
the Eastern question, and to have united those
two nations in main tanning the status OF East
ern Europe against both Russia and France.
Russia con stautly beating against the bars OPP
posed to her further progress by the treaty of
Paris, will be sure TO seize the first opportunity
10 remove them. England is divided between
her desire TO witness the emancipation OF
Italy, and her policy of upholding the decayed
governments OF Austria and Turkey. France
has already been established in Syria as the
champion Of civilization and Christianity,
and, let what may come she cannot now re-
eede from that position.
When We look at these things, we find i,
impossible 10 believe that'the crisis can pass,
without involving all Europe in war.
