THE STATE OF EUROPE

ME- which it seems is insisted upon by the Empe-
rcr Napoleon, and the Central Italian question,
which affects the relations of the Pope to Sardinia
and France. As TO the Budget it is bold aud |
honest sndeavor 10 carry out the principle of Free
Trade TO its utmost limits, without regard to pOli-
cal consequences. 1t strikes heavy blow at the |
licensed victualen especially, and the practical
mon opoly of the great brewing firms, all Of them
hitherto staunch supporters of Lerd PalmerstOn
and the Wings, aud their detection msy re-
ably endsDser the Cabinet. Still, the Minis
teIs, though fully aware that general cleo
hop with hostile licensed victu sers and an income
tax of ten pence III the pound, would be disadvan-
tafeous to the Liberal cause threaten tachcus oppo
siiioD, with the dissolution OF Parliament threat
not likely 10 be despised by members whose private
budget is seriously compromised even by an I'M
contested election 1t is true that the Tories re-
solved on Wednesday last to oppose Mr.. Gladstone;
. hut il seems that they are only anxious to show
their forces, and to introduce some notifications
into the treaty, especially as regards the obligation
of England not to impose restrictions on the expor-
fatiOn Of coal; but they are not IN condition to
take Office, with deficiency OF El0OV0,OO0 IN
their face.
The annexation of Savoy to France, as the cOnd-
on of the recognition of the annexation of Central
Italy is certainly an unwise desire on the part OF
Eapoleon. 1t alarms England Switzerland, Prus-
ala and all Germany and il Is dIsllked by Victor
Emanuel and the Gar. The opposition OF England
cannot be bought up by the treaty OF commerce, nor
the opposition of Switzerland by the cession OF
Ghabais and Faucigny to Geneva; while Victor
Emanuel does not like 10 part with the cradle of
his dynasty in order to increase powerful neighbor
and tickle ally. Still, if Napoleon is bent upon
achieving the annexation, it vail be carried without
any present risk. Such an aggandizementO of France
would, however, most Proba oily lead TO q coalition
between Prussia, Austria, and perhaps Russia, to
whom both tie theory OF natural frontiers, and the
Infringement Of the treaties Of 1915, are not only
distasIeiul but dangerous. The tenure Of the
Rhine provinces would at once become most
precarious, and the Prince Regent would not buy
even the crown Of Imperial Germany at such
price. The TeutOnic fury Of Germany against
France would at once revive and give strong sup
port to Austria. Russia is certainly now para-
yxed BY the prOtrseted agitation about the emanc-
patton Of the serfs; STILL the Emperor of Austria has
some hopes of reconciliation by an arrangement
which would give full freedom to the Gar to settle
The Oriental question, q consideration for Of
feDsiFe and defensive treaty against France For
this purpose the Austrian General Prince of Hessa,
brother 10 the Czarina, has been sent to ST. Peters
burg.
The Central italian question is now ON the eve of
being finally settled by elections according to the
Sandman electoral law. The members thus re-
turned will once more declare the unanimous wish
of the Provinces to be Incorporated into the
new SubalpiDe kingdom OF Victor Emanuel,
and after this vote they will take their seats In the
Chambers at Turin. The Pope Ia preparing for this
eventually an accommodation aud interdict,
which may rouse portion Of the Italian population
against the King Of Sardinia, at the same time
when the Papal forces invade the Central Italian
provinces. Gen. MayerhOfer, who has managed
the enlistment of volunteers for the Pope in the
Austrian dominions and in Southern Germany, has
now been appointed COMMANDMENTS Chief OF the

blue-Book Just issued here concerning the ne
gotiations upon Central Italy, is highly interest
ing. L extract from it the following account by
Count Waewsh Of the interview at Villairanca.
1t is contained in Lord Cowleys letter to Lord John
Russell:
"Tne Emperor Napoleon, according to Count Wa
lewssis statement spoke 81 frankly 70 the Emperor
ETabCs Joseph ~ he Count Wsewsk had spoken TO

- the bass of peace, the cesaon Of LOmbsrdy W
S.ralnia, the erection Of kingdom OF Venet4 under
IN Austrian archduse, an Italian confederation, and
reforms the Paps btaes The detaS OF these points

FTaBciB Joseph answered that his reply would be &c

IL Is rather curious coincidence that Francis

tians happy Is communicated 10 the world lust on
