THE STATE OF EUROPE


LONDON, Friday, March 9, $780,.
TIE last development of the Italian question is
somewhat peculiar, but though il ia impossible to
Ashem the mysterious sounsels Of Napoleon, the
sxypoeitiOn that be seeks new war in Italy throws
satisfactory light upon the dark proceedings. Mr.
TAouyenel the French Minister for Foreign Affairs
declares, in two dispatches Of the Oath Of February
nat the conditions of the peace of Zurich dis
regarded, and that the Italian question cannot be
uslved satisfactorily upon principle, since England
does not recommend the appeal to universal suf-
sSage, and Central Italy seem to shun such
IN appeal. Aad accordingly, as COM
promise, the King of Sardinia is to get the two
Duchies absolutely and the Romagna as the vicar
of the Pope, but Tuscany must retain her separate
existence, in order to remove the suspicion Oh dl
bition from Victor Emanuel-and NOT 10 maho nun az
too strong for an attack upon Neneta' rW tno
same cause Napoleon claims Savoy ana nice
for France and threatens the Italians WIN tue
withdrawal of the French army from the hmclo,
nshey should choose to join SARDINIA. AS soon as
these dispatches arrived at London, the cardihiah
ambassador, Merqus Azegho after conference
with ord John Russell, sets out IN person, 10 all
haste 10 Turin. Upon his arrival, CayOur declares
at oucetbat, come what may, his King cannot agree
to tAese propositions and abides by the decision OF
Central Italy as is to be manifested by universal
Suffrage; and Farin and Rcasoh order that ON
the 18th and 18th instant every male IN
habitant of the Emilia and Tuscany, who has at
tanned bis majority and is not incapactated from the
endowment of political rights, is invited to vote by
ballot whether he requires the annexation to Sar-
DINA OF separate kingdom. Upon this the French
army on the NinciO is ordered to get ready to march
across the Alps to Savoy; the Austrians the Pope,
and Naples increase their ornaments; Fantl IN
spects the Sandman troops; CavOur contracts FOL
saltpeter in England, to be delivered at LeghOn N
Tuscany. buvs horses in Germany and France and
nails the reserves under arms. The Tories in the
English Parliament, who never had word of sym
pathy for Poland and Hungary, now take Sa
'yoy under their protection, and denounce Ma
lpeleOn most heartily as the anarchist who
removes the landmarks of 1915; while Aus
tria really believes that Sardinia has been for
saken by Napoleon, that England picking quar-
rel with France, and that, accordingly, the proper
time has come for renewing the war and reconquer
ing Lombardy. The plan Is matured; as soon a
the annexation Is declared and the French troop
retreat combined attack on the Pc and Mlncl'
and at La CattOhca is to take place. The Pop
and Naples from the South, and Austria from the
North and East are TO invade Sardinia and he
new territory and to rob Napoleon of all the result
Of his last campaigns ana so much I'M
more since he is believed TO have for
feited the friendship of England by, hi
claim of Savoy. Count Rechberg believes
indeed that Napoleon has lost his prestige
and is isolated since he has alarmed by the samt
step, Prussia, Russia and England. The Napoleon
ists on the other hand maintain that all this hubbut
has been foreseen and planned by Napoleon in order
to induce Austria to begin the war. They say tna'
he knew that Tuscany would declare her wish ioI
annexation and that Victor Emanuel would not
refuse the offered crown. The Emperor, they
declare is glad of the angry discussions IN Parla-
ment which remove from him the aspersiOn OF the
French priesthood and prOtechOnists, that he had
. made the treaty of commerce only to obtain the
y friendship of England and not for the beneht OF
France And, lastly it is said that having al
heart the independence Italy, he wishes to give the
Italians fair chance for asserting their liberty by
their own unaded exertiODs, though he is re-
solved in case of a Sandman defeat, 10 come tC
their aid, and 10 complete the work of liberation
from the Alps to the Adriatic Influential people
here in England are inclined to accept this version
of the French policy and fully believe that Austrii
is clumsy enough TO fall into this trap. A few
weeks must clear up this question: by the goth
the complete returns of the vote in Central Italy
will be officially known, and by the end of the
month Victor Emanuel will assume the reins of gov
eminent. In April, therefore, Austria will have
either to attack or acquesce, and the Pope will
excOmmunicate or bless.
rAs TO SAVOY Victor Emanuel and Count CavOur
have DO great objection to her annexation to
France Still the fOrmalities must be preserved,
the boundaries defined, Chablas and Faucgny Sc
cured for Switzerland, and Maurienne and pOr-
ton of Tarantaise for the King We hear, there
fore, that the French proposal has not absolutely
been declined but that the execution of the scheme
is deferred until the result of the universal suffrage
in these districts is previously arranged. England
cares not a straw for Savoy with all her organ
grinders and white mice. Still we shall have some
more violent speeches in Parliament, since MIR.
Kindake must speak himself into nOtOriety and the
Tories are glad to have opportunity of giving
vent TO their sympathies for Austria. From
Hungary we continue to receive news of growing
discomfort, and unless the Russians should send an
army of occupation into the country, the people
threaten to rise during the impending war. Francis
Joseph is blind to his dangers. He DULLES Venetia,
has all respectable persons removed to the prisons
and TO the army and refuses to listen to the COM
plants of the Hungarians. In Croatia there is a
famine and at Vienna Ministers believe they can
rouse the Empire to enthusiasm by increasing the
Council of the Empire from 80 to 80 members. Ac-
cor1ing to this, the Council OF the Empire is to
have all the advantages of Constitutional Govern
ment without its Inconvenience.
