The details Of the political news from Europe
o, the Vanderbilt, which We publish this morn
ing nod ofwb,ch ~e gave telsgrsphic sum-
mary yesterday. from 81. Johns, N. r., BY the
City # Baltimore. will be found highly impor.
tar. and 'ull OF interest The points of this in
,eliieepce are as tolioss:-
First Notwithstanding the fsbncated reports
sen. ont by the NeapoDsan government OF the
utter rout Of Gstosldi in Sicily, that wauior IL
nov only not 6esested, but hsd defeated and
driven back the royal troops sent to meet hiu
sna had proceeded on his victorious march
through the island to the investituye Of Moreils
~bcb commands Palermo the capita, aud
stronghold OF Sicily. The people were every
where rising In bis favor aud f,ck,ng to hs
standard. aud the chances OF his ultimate sue
cess ana compete possession of the island were
decidedly strong. There Ia one fact ~bich
speaks volumes The King sent ont
General Filapgbieri with Q proclamation
Offering pardon to ihs insurgents IL
they would lay down their arms
q proposition which, considering the bloody
and releutIess character Of the NeapolitAn 60.
verDmsDt must have been dictated by fear, and
not by mercy. 1t IL evident that Naples is
abanoo Ded 70 her fate by the other European
Powers-AuS'ria will not and cannot raise
6oger. England not only looks on, but permits
subscriptions W be raised TO help the cause OF
insurrection; aud as for Victor Emanuel, it
IL believed that be has az understanding with
Gsribsioi, whereby II the bold chieftsin OF rev0-
luton succeed his work shall be recognized and
endorsed That the revolutionary successes will
not be confined to the island IL more than probs-
ole, ADD 10 very short time We may expect to
see Naples as well as Sicily revolutionized, aud
The entire kingdom declaring for annexation to
the crown OF Victor Emanuel, for that name 10
The railyiDg cry of the revolutionists every
where. and bic throne the centre of Italian
unity. IL is no logger an italian republic that
Ia sought by the people. Mazzini himself
has given up that idea as visionary, and
has joined In the popular cry for the King
of Sardinia. That Itsly-su Italy-will no
longer re mere geographical expression"
but one united nationality under q single 60
verpmept, is indicated by ali the signs in the
political ornament OF Europe. IL is the policy

want to zee Victor Emanuel too strong. EGG
land. on the contrary, desires q strong Italian

erected az a check to the Emperor Of France,
| and therefore encourages the revolution against
the King of Naples. But Napoleon has already
taken good security that the Italian kingdom
will not become too strong for him, and be has
accordingly gained possession of the passes of
the Alps which divide France from Italy. And
this leads NJ to the next point 10 the news.
Secondly. We have aconArmation Of the pre-
vious intelligence that Austria, who was appealed
to by England, will not interfere o. to the Swiss
portion Of Savoy, which Napoleon desires In or
der to make bis frontier complete. Austria says,
In effect, that it is none Of her business. When
she was engaged In q deadly struggle with
France, England did not assist her. and now let
England take her own course, and let the for
tresses of France, from the summits Of the Alps,
frown down upon the plains Of Piedmont Thus
the Italian question settles itself without con-
terence, and Just In the way Napoleon intended
from the beginning Il should be settled.
The third point Of interest In the intelligence
from Europe IL, that France and Russia have
entered into the old treaty, BY which Russia
can work her will In the East while France
has her fling In the West Thus. between them,
they will rule all Europe. Accordingly, We
learn BY this arrival that the Russian troops In
the Southern provinces are placed on war
footing. The mouths Of the Danube and the
Danubian Principalities, which Russia lost by
the last war with France and England, Will
soon again become her prey. Eoglaud, we are
told, will not agree to have the Eastern ques
ton settled by conference, because abe knows
conclave, and that she would be outvoted on
every issue But II will soon settle itself, with
out her assistance. Austria, crippled and pow
erless will not dare to utter q remonstrance,
but, on the contrary, will be very glad TO be
permitted to retain what abe haA The condi.
ton Of Hungary, ready to throw of her yoke,
In the frail bond which France and Russia hold
for the good behavior Of Austria. Add as for
Prustia, she Is too much alarmed for the safety
Of her Rbenish provinces on the left bank of
the Rhine--that natural boundary which France
very much needs in addition TO the Alps. She
Ia TOO much alarmed on this vital point 10 at
tempt to interfere with the designs of the two
emperors, Ieet she should precipitats what she
90 much breads.
The fourth and last point Of the news is, that
the Chinese government absolutely refuses the
ultimatum Of England and France, and that
war II the only alternative.
All these complications and movements show
