ing them 10 the common Danger vita which they were
threatened. Al present Europe appeas tranquil because
the policy Of Russia in Poland of the great German
Powers in Northern Europe has been CroWped
With success. But if embodeDed by this success,
and confident in the coalition they have formed, the
Holy Allies pursue the policy which they have
inaugutsted they will discover that there Ia limit to
tie forbearance with which their actions have hitherto
been treated The time has not yet come to test the
merits Of the revived alliance but when 1t does come
we will be much mistaken If the alliance Of the Wes.s
ern Powers does not prove sufficiently powerful to
gAtTe the influence which the former Is expected to
exercise Austria and Prussia have still much to do
before the work they have inauguraed can DO consid
cred complete. In Germany the minor Powers have
not ye been intimidaed into absolute subj action, and
any attempt to coerce them would infalibly in
drce them 70 seek the protection and assistance Of the
Western Powers. Europe is, as We have already OBJ
served to all appearances tranquil but IL the great
work which Prussia and Austria have undertaken Is to
approach contamination, the period cannot DO far dis
tans when that tranquility may be disturbed.
NAPoLIoSs DIFFICULTIES.
Under this heading the Herald publishes the Paris
correspondence of the Liverpool Joaynal from which
We make the following extracts
The heaallng policy of the government is beginning
to strike even ts friends With sort Of presonment of

the Emperor to Work-orco his delight to DO and his
pride to have dones becoming the theme of many and
mary gloomy speculation, none of which are, per-
haps to be realized but which help TO preserve that
,taenaon 40 detrimental to tuness. Every precauton

tie Emperors falling poNere. The MoRtely rcarcely
mentions the divers r6OciDgs which took place at CnA
or lest the necessary observation OF the aosouce Of the
Emnarer even the banquet given 10 Prince Humbert
should create alarm, Blu las not escaped notice for
al that and has OF couvse, formsd the foundation for
the rupture Of many a contract aud the withdrawal

or found than the uncertain tate Of frs to which the
uncertain state Of his M tvs health Was likely to give
rise They cay that The Emperor himsell is so well
aware Of the lassitude which is sezug upon his whole

patches nom General Blzaue, which have by the way
been kept secret, "Ah! mon eOii: pali|-the cry OF
