THE STATE OF EUROPE

From Our Own Correspondents
LONDON, Friday, June Is, 1860.
The Neapoltan garrison of Palermo, even alter
the heavy losses in the battles and by desertion
about 900 men strong, has at last departed with
all the honors of war to Naples and to Gaeta on the
Continent; and Sicily, with the only exception OF
the forts of Messina, Syracuse, and Melazzo, is
now in the hands of Garibaldi The heroic Dicta-
tor loses no time and with his indomitable activity
recognizes the administration Of the island, and
forms an army for his Interior designs. Well aware
of the fact that unless he has the command OF the
sea- Sicily cannot be kept without carrying the rev.
olution to Naples the mainland will become his next
strategic object as soon "a he is sufficiently reen-
forced by the volunteers of Northern Italy, and ne
has organized the Sicilian bands into army. His
friend Bertani, in Genoa, prepares one expedition
after the other for his aid, not being now in want
of either money, ships, muskets, or men, The Sar-
dinian Government openly encourages these outfits,
since Napoleon has no objection to this new phase
of the Italian movement; while the regular conveys
of Austrian recruits from Trieste to Naples and
Rome, during the last three months, deprive the
Government Of Naples Of the right to complain
| of the analogous proceedings at Genoa.
The first of these supplementary expeditions, car
ring principally rifles and ammunition, has safely
| landed at Marsala. OF the second, and more I'M

consisted Of four steamers and one clipper, and was

The force embarked at Sestri and Conegliano
| amounted to about 5000 volunteers. But tee-
| graphic dispatch from Naples announces to-day
that two ships have been captured by the NeapOtan
feet near the island Ustica. The official dispatches,
however, have lost all credit, and this uutoward
| event is therefore as yet very doubtful.
Thousands and thousands of volunteers have,
during the last three weeks, hocked to Genoa, but
the transport by sea being both costly and difficult

youth are not likely to quietly return to their homes
Bands are organized in the coffee-houses of
| Genoa, and expeditions planned to the Abruzzi,
across the Roman territory. These adventurous
schemes do not exactly fit the plans of Count Ca
vour who wishes to keep the Roman question en-
tirely distinct from the NeapOtan troubles. But
| all the diplomacy Of the great Italian Minister will
certainly fail to arrest the movement, and LamOri-
cere's army may soon be put on trial, and have an
opportunity to test its efficiency against the enthu
siasm of the volunteers The Italian patriots are
full of the best hopes and firmly believe that two
months will suffice to settle the Neapoltan question,
to expe the Bourbon, and to initiate the movement
in the Marches and Umbria. This year, they expect
to see Italy united from the AnciO and the Pc to
the Straits of Messina, leaving the City Of Rome to
the Pope, and thus they hope to be able to renew in
| 1861 the war against Austria, without having any
need of French assistance.

baldi thus preparing Italy for the last decisive
struggle Napoleon throws out his nets in Germany.
| The TIE Deum and review celebrated yesterday at
| Paris, for the annexation OF Nice and Savoy to
| France filled the French with enthusiasm, who
trust now that their Emperor will get the socalled
natural frontiers of the Empre-Belgum and the
Rhine provinces-either by conquest or diplomacy,
| within the shortest time.
Germany is seriously alarmed by these French
aspirations but divided in herself, she hesitates to
| achieve her unity and independence by bold
policy and her princes submit willingly to the die
tates of Napoleon. The cunning Emperor personally
dscaims any ideas of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT on the Rhine,

| tried repeatedly to have personal interview with
| the Prince Regent of Prussia, in order, as the
Germans surmise, to propose 10 HIM part
similar TO that of Victor Emanuel in Italy.
| The Prince long refused to come under
the fascinating influence of the Emperor, until the
Russian Court managed at last an interview at
| Baden Baden, to take place OH the Goth inst. As
soon as it OOzed out that the Prince Regent had
| yielded to the solicitations of Napoleon, all the
| smaller kings of Germany got alarmed. They al
ready see Prussia annexing their Kingdoms by the
new machinery of universal suffrage. They rush.
