THE STATE OF EUROPE.

pean questions of the FIRST magnitude. 1t is busy
time for diplomatsts. AT Naples we see complete
helplessness. Under the pressure of the fear OF
Garibaldi, and seeing himself abandoned BY England
and France the King gave Contribution and sent
an Embassy to Turin seeking an alliance, that the
integrity of his dominons should be guaranteed to
him. The Queen Mother and the obnoxious Min
listers withdrew to the fortress of Gaeta cOntinu-
ing to advise the King at the capital, and to seek
advice at Vienna. The King, upon the precedent
of his father, tried to keep the army IN his hands,
together with the most important officials in order
to prepared to overthrow the Constitution
The people remained passive in fear OF reaction
airy movement which would ruin all those who
might have been too enthusiastic about Liberty;
but the lower classes burned the police Stations
killel some of the most notorious police officials
both low and high, and continue to suspect treason
on the part OF the King. The army got dissatis-
fed especially the foreign troops, well aware that
they will soon be dissolved and sent home; thus
the grant of the Constitution satisfied nobody, and
lost its intended effect. Bombino, as Francis H.
is ncknamed, felt disappointed, and rode to the
barracks, saying, "Chidren, assist me. They are
willing to expel me !" But this trick met with no
response, and the King had to ride back and post
pone his plans.
On the l4th the exies arrived at Naples from
Turin all but Poerio, Settembrini, Mancini, and
Scialola and some few others of lesser note after
an exile of twelve years. They were enthusiastic
cay received by the population, and all the Minis
tiers went down to the harbor to greet them. On
the following day the Royal Guards, without their
Officers-fOr even these are Liberas-rushed down
the streets shouting Viva il Re, and cutting and
wOunding with their swords whoever refused to re-
peat the shout. The demonstration, evidently In
stigated by the Kings brother the COnnt of TRAM,
failed to produce counter revolution the Lazza-
Ion firmly believing that Garibaldi is the man of
destiny who is to get cheaper maccarOni for them.
The Ministers at resolved to resign unless the
King gave some pledge of his good faith. Pressed
by them TrombinO rode to the barracks and ordered
the troops TO take the oath of allegiance to the King
and obedience to the Constitution. But when the
officers of the fleet had to take the same oath, they
added the clause: not to fight against Italians
The Ministers remained in Office the Royal Guards
in the barracks openly shouting their VIvas for the
Count fTrani and the Queen Maria Theresa, while
the portraits and prOclamations OF GarlDaldl are
hawked about in all the streets, the returned ex-
lies speak Of Victor Emanuel, and the confusion Is
Increasing from day to day.
Under such circumstances, it is quite natural that
nothing is done for the recOnquest of Sicily, and
that Garbald has had plenty Of time for organizing
his troops and for maturing his Interior plans. The
expeditions of Medici, Meenchini, COsenz, Siccoli
LANCE, Sacchi, and Pellegrini, have increased his
army Of volunteers to about l5,OOO picked men,
while the Sicilian leyies amount to about 10000
men. All this army is of course not drilled but the
confidence IN Garibaldi and the patriotism OF the
Young men make them formidable to the Neapoh-
tans who seem to be entirely paralyzed and nor

day. the fortresses of Melazzo, Messina Syracuse,

leaving Garbald the undisputed mostor of Sicily.
without having had to shed any blood after the two
bloody days of Calatafim and Palermo.
This, however, does not satisfy the Dictator,
who when he entered Palermo, openly told the
Sicilians " / do not come for Sicily; l come for
italy," The island is for him but the lever with
which he is to move in turn Naples, Rome, and
yenetia. Starting with this in view, he proclaimed
at once Victor Emanuel King of Sicily, but he OBJ
jected to any hurry in the formal annexation. lie

desire to become portion of the new Kingdom OF
Italy the Government at Turin will send down

officials; that diplomacy will to work to prevent
the Dictator from landing on the coast OF Naples,
and try to stop his revolutionary career.

man in Italy, and might easily dictate terms To
Victor Emanuel, such as might jeopardze the
French Alliance, without which, according to
Count Cayours views, Italy cannot as yet believe
herself safe The Count wishes, therefore, to get

possible, and 80 much the more since such p0lltl-
cal fact would at once put an end TO the Napotan

It was with this view that La Farina, the Sicil-

in this respect La FariDa raised such an opposition
