TIE STATE OF EUROPE.

Tho approaching close Of the year finds nearly the
whole Of Europe apparently at peace, tho little island
Of Gambia being at present the only spot where fight
ing is still going on. Even there the instruction has
been hemmss in on all sides, and unless general
rising In tho Christian provinces Of Turkey should
take place. tho last Of the Canadian patriots will
soon have 10 lay down their arms But the
explosive material in Turkey docs not, on
tina. account become less. The oonSummaton of
the Independence of Roumanis, under tho rule Of o
prince nearly related to most Of the European
monarchs does not only signify the loss by Turkey Of
four millions OF peoples but Of all the many impulses
which have Of late been given TO the aspirations OF
tho Christian provinces this Is the most dangerous
for it practically illustrates the collapse Of Turkish
power Servis insists on having tho same independ-
ence which has been accorded to Roumanis, aud 1t
will not be long Gro the same demands will be made
by the other provinces.
Thehappiest people in Europe at this moment are
Italians. The national unity Is nearly complete
yenets has been annexed. and the evacuation OF
Rome by the French, which is to be completed, &C.
cording TO the Convention. tomorrow, removes the
last obstacle to tho acquisition Of the Papa domn

disagree as widely as the less orthodox papers.
From France we hear but little except comments
on foreign questions French vessels are now plying
between the ports Of France Italy and MEXICO TO
bring back French troops from two expeditions which
even the Government docs not deny to have been
signaly disastrous The Government with iron hand
suppresses the free expression popular sentiment on
the suffered Disgrace but II is easy to divine what
tho secret influence Of the failure Of the Imperial
schemes on the public mind must be. Tho Emperors
Life is drawing TO close, and 1t appears extremely
doubtful whether government carried on IN the
name Of child will be able 70 save the shaken
dynasty.
From Spain we are almost daily receiving dispatches
about the imminsncs Of revolution which everybody
including, II seems even the Queens mother and her
only sister the Duchess of Montpension look upon 90
being not only inevitable, but sure to triumph.
Tuning nom the Latin TO the Germanic world, we
find Count Bismark the center Of the political move
ments In the Gsrmsnie countries again at bis post In
Berlin. The creates. obstacle to the accomplish
ment Of his mission has been removed, and things
are going on smoothly. There still ere o.
casonal disagreements between the great states
man and the Liberal majority of the second
Chamber, but they are free from luminosity, and the
leading opponents Of the Government in home qaes
