A Glance at Earop.an AH.irs


The present posture Of affairs in Europe in
dicates that great changes may be wrought there
during the present easou, as well as IN our
own country.
The Hungarians are threatening to attempt
the full recovery of their nationality and indie
nepdence. Notwithstanding this threatened
dismemberment Of b is empire, FRAScis JosEPH
has collected two hundred thousand men near
the famous Quadriateral, with the ostensioit
object of preserving yenetia, but it is suspected
with the covert design of regaining Lombardy,
which he lost in 1859, aud thus preventing the
consolidation OF Italy under VIcroR EHASUEL'
The failing health of the Pope gives rise to
much speculation as to his successor II is
though. tha. the selection OF a new Pope will be
made, not from the French, but from the Ger,
man or Ialfad Cardinals. Should an Italian be
elected he viii possess the prestige of nationality
which is now the popular watchword iu Italy.
GARlBALDI is at Turin, and is also in bad
health. IfvIcroR EnsuEl should be involved
in war with Austria, he would miss GARIDALDI
10 the field as much as he would CAvouR in the
cabinet. The statement is now current that
GAnpALpr, evenif quite restored TO his former
health, will. not for the present make any at
tempt for the conquest Of Venetis.

of Italy by England. Switzerland, Sweden, Nor

Alex. H. stehpens on hi. Way North

A correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
writing from Havre de Grace under date Of the
Goth inst, gives the following rumors in refer
ence to the position of STEPHENS and the feeling
in the Southern States:
I have very interesting intelligence from
North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and South
Carolina, given me by one Of the most respec.
able citizens Of Brooklyn, L /, who arrived
this morning on his way home from Southern
trip He saw Vice President and Assistant Arch
Rebel Stephens at Goldsborough, N. c., on Sun
day last He heard him speak, and saw him
drink. The entire population, one and all, great
aud small, turned out 10 hear him, and with them
went my friend. Stephens appealed to the God Of
Nations and Battles TO witness that this conflict
was, on the side Of the South, just one;and one
which no honest Southern man could shrink from
without endangering his eternal welfare, and
presume he added bodily comfort He was then
on his way TO Richmond and Washington, and
with his long skinny finger pointing TO the flag Of
the rebels, he said, with startling emphasis:
"YEs, AND TO WASHINGTON, iohere, please God,
not long hence, yOn beautiful emblem Of our liberties
piH icaue in triumph and forever" The enthu-
siasm created by that announcement cannot we'll
be overestimated. The people all shouted
with great but broken shout; they cried but
with happy tears, and the fair ladies waved
their dampened handkerchieis in feeble imita-
ton Of the flag, and threw bouquets at thelthin
and almost spectral prophet. as with graceful
esrnestness be lifted hand and eye to heaven
All through these States, says my friend, the
enthusiasm is very great. Boys wish to enlist,
ladies cheerfully equip their protectors, minis
ters exhort their charges to 60 forward to this
religious war, and but one sentiment publicly
pervades the country. On Sunday, troops left
Goldsborough for Fay ette, at which point there is
a fort, which fort they intend TO take.

Lieutenant Merden, formerly Of the Harriet

the taken steamer, and intends proceeding with
her out to sea, 70 intercept the merit California
steamer Thus the Nashville will be the first
privateer under the Southern Confederacy. II

IN his possession letters Of marque from Jeifer-
son Davis. oia f ssiAi ~ q
& The purser Of the Nashville, who left
Charleston Tuesday, reports that there ID no

eel entered that port on Sunday, and another on
Monday, without molestation. Charleston was
qhiet. The price Of provisions had advanced,
Ji6uy bringing fifteen dollars barrel, and fresh
pork thirty cents per pound. The Charlestoni-
