THE STATE OF EUROPE.


The Tory party, which, at the beginning of the
session, entertained some reasonable hopes of re-
Turning to Office, has suddenly dwindlei down to
m insignificant minority. GISdstone's budget and
la influence on the coal districts on the pOtterss,
on the seats of hardware and cotton manufacture,
favored such important branches of the EOglish
industry that many Tories had to vote for it, being
REQUIRED to do 80 by their constituencies. Butthe
real stumbEpg-block Of Disrael was the annex.
alton of Savoy The Journals of all cOlOrs, and
especially The London Times, had been 30 loud in
aenouncpg Nspoleon's plan, on moral as well as
political grounds that the Conservatives really be-
heyed that the great bulk Of the English nation
took great interest in the fate Of Savoy, even if
the population, Victor Emanuel, and the Italians
were cODsentrg parties to the job. The complete
failure Of the debate has nov ruined the party Of
Lord De, by and Mr.. Disrseli for long time, and
Lord PamerstOn is more firmly established at the
head of the Cabinet than ever.
The Leader expresses, in excellent article the
feeling of the great majority of those English who
care for foreign affairs, in the following words:
1.-THE French Emperor declares that he win not at
terupt 70 take Savoy by force, and moreover willing
70 leave the QUE Of annexation 70 France TO the de-
esiop by universal suffrage Of the inhabitants them
selves Now, if Victor Emanuel is willing to give up,
for what he may think adequate 'deration, IN
hard knocks to be adnList red 10 the Austraus GER

rose with organ grindeIs and if the interests of Swift
seFaDd for and the changes take place by the
wisb Of the people Immediately concerned, what on
earth is England 70 get IN passion about Or what
ought we TO care whether the Germans will
be more anxious about their beloved Rhine We
should certainly sympalhize with tue Germans ii Ma
poleon Ill attempted 10 steal their pet river with its
ibrivipg towns; but the German people more nu-
meJOus than the EDgls5, and quite as able to Il sE
their own battles; and whenever they really 10
danger from France, may rely uponi the fault III
he tb their Governments and themselves. There
hsve been times when large portion Of Rhenish Prus-
ala and Rbebisb Bavaria would have GLADLY annexed
itsth To France; and If the nusARce q swarn OF
petty toteniaes and the unWilngDess OF Prussia 10
tread boldly the path OF constitutional liberty, should
weaken the adhesion Of soy part of Germany 10 its
il IS not Tor to resist the natural proress Of
sYebts.
The Italian question is not difficult TO understand
81 ss England was not willing TO render active as
Etanoe at any prlce Whatever 1t is certainly cOm2e
tens Tor Sardinia in acting behalf Of Italy, to make
the best arrangements she can for FreDch support.
"LOrd john Russt Il, whose feeling TO ward lsay
much more LIBERAL than those Of Lords Aberdeen aud
NslmesbpJy, gave advice which, II followed, wOald
have LETT Italy under Austrian tbradom till the crack
OF doom. Victor EmaDpei wisely rejected the solemn
plaitudes about the force of example, and tried the
force OF feDCh gnpOW DER Against the OppressOfr OF
his race. The resat has not been all wished, but
Italy hiss gained immensely by Magenta and Solferino,
al lie ii far way OF gaining more II she acts VITO
prudence and courage. We may exclsim thai IT would
be more noble the French Government would COM
plee lie work and turn Austria out of Venice and the
QDadrsDgle without asking for any other reward than
Che sciOus nees OF having done well; aud we may
with justice complain Of the opposition which Louis
Napoleon makes to the union Of Tuscany with Sar-
dina but Freedman is entitled to ask in return,
what England has done, or ID prepared do If Austria
and Der lies rekhdle the war. Lord John Russell
would write dispatches in busiDess-ke English, con-
veymg moral sentiments that would do honor 10 any
copy book but he would not recommend creating
diversion IN favor OF the Italians by landing Hber
abng expedition in Hungary and if the French Gov
ell ment proposed 10 DO So II is believed that In
mon with other Whgs he would be seized with ga at
tack Of the Treaty OF Nsnna which was mainly found
ed upon the idea of making Austria counterbasnce
20 France.
"Such readinets to allow veDeta to remain the
prey Of Austria, and such willingness TO place obsta
ees in the way OF the Liberation CT Hungary are not
consistent with a thoropghgoing love Of liberty,
founded upon principles which free country should
approye We think Louis Napoleon unvise In pro
vokiDg alarm and hostility by this Savoy scheme, and
Tdienle the ides Of France being in danger because
Italy will be mistress OF her de5tinies; for If ever
danger existed, il when the passes of the Alps
were virtually under the contrA of the powerful En-
pire Of Austria, and might hsFe been used against
France in the event Of any quarrel 10 which Ger many
was involved Bat we are MT going TO serve the
Of the HapsbuTgs and damage the interests of
Italy and Hungary by bounding IN Europe TO e0ali
bon against France. IL is quite possible that the iniu
ence Of England might make the French Government
ill y abandon its desire Of having the passes Of
Savoy; bat il, by 80 doing, we ALLEVIATE France from
Srcna and give new hopes and vipr 70 the Austrian
cause, can it be pretended that we have done any
god IL we choose 10 say TO SARDINIA, Don't eede
savoy but rely 10 belp you if Austria dares 70
yner nolestAtsoD, there would be consistency 10
