EXCITEMENT REGARDING THE Policy OF
THE UNITED STATES IN EUROPEAN AFFArRs.
"A letter from Alexandria, Egypt, published
in the N. Y. Tribune, contains the following:
A great noise has been produced BY the So
called change of policy of the United States
toward European affairs. The topic of the
day, here and all over the East as you NAV
well believe, is the alleged demand of the Cab
met of Washington to the Porte of a spot where
to harbor, under an American flag, an Ameri-
can fleet, with right of property on it. True
or not, the matter is fully discussed, and I NAV
say admitted. The friendship existinr inst
now between the States and Russia is consid-
cred as proof that something of the kind il
going on, and you will understand by the fol-
lowing translation of.an article published in a
Smyrna newspaper, how far if not how Justly,
goes the opinion of the Levantine press. "The
whole position is now hanging by heads hair,
weakening every day. Napoleon's health is
TAR from being good, and as he is as
mortal as the simplest peasant, he may disap-
pear from the great stage of the world sooner
than we seem to expect. God forbid such ca
iamity, but in the hypothesis of its becoming
by Russia behind the curtain-an American
and Russian fleet coming to the Bosphorus,
and taking possession of it; a Russian army
passing the Pruth the Danube, invading Tur-
kev by land and planting on the minaret of
St. Sophia the flag of the Gar What could
England do alone for We cannot for an instant
suppose that unconstituted Prussia wonld ioin
in the struggle against the savage invasion of
the Northern bear. ----7 : - =
Enough to give you an idea of public opinion
IN the east about coming and probable events.

THn PRrsrs AND THE PEOPLE OF ITALY.

The PRrEsTs AND THE PEOPLE OF ITALY.-
While the Sovereign of Rome is calling upon
the Faithful to espouse his cause against the
pretensions of the excommunicated King of
Italy, the Italian Clergy seem to have reached
q point of independence very well worth no
tice. This received a striking illustration in
the part they recently took with the people in
the newly-aoquired possessions of the King
dom to ratify by plebiscitum the act of annexa-
ton. In some cases the Bishops led the reli-
gious ceremonies, and Joined the great rejoic-
ings. In others, the poor country priests head
ed the march of the peasantry to the polls
and gave the strongest attestations to their
profound sympathy with the popular, as against
the Papal cause.
IF this movement on the part of the italian
clergy is at all as general as it is represented
to be-, there may be graver reasons for the re-
moval of the existing Roman Government
than appear in any of the protestations of the
head OF that Government. A clerical revolt in
Italy would seem to be an exceedingly unlike
ly event, and yet this report of the ple5iscit,im
apparently points to the determination of the
OF the country priests, at least, to stand by the
people, and support the popular cause of unfit
cation against the remonstrances of the reac-
tionaries in the hierarchy and the fulminations
of Rome herself n

am decidedly Of opinion that this amendment

bodies principle dangerous to tie liberties Of
the people Of the whole country, and is as ap-
Ellcable to New York and Massachusetts as to

it would reduce those unrepresented to utter
anarchy and ruin. We are sincerely desirous
