The Gable News-Interestiss Events In

Tho Cable News-Interesti.s Events In
Europe.
The cable desl atches this morning are OF
much interest and foreshad0w stirring events
in Europe. They contain the news of the last
four days, communication having been inter-
rupted since Wednesday. The Eastern ques-
ton begins to take definite shape. The state
ment from Paris that the French, Russian and
P,ussian governments have resolved TO nego-
tiate in common with the Porte upon the
Eastern question is made positively, and not IN
the form of a rumor. These three great Powers
have therefore come to the liberalization to
administer to the "sick mans" estate, and
England and Austria are excluded from
any participation in the negotiation
the former probably from her own wolf
ton and the latter by compulsion. It has
been evident for some time that Russia
and Prussia were in accord, and Napoleon
has now disclosed the policy upon which
he had doubtless long since determined, and
for which his recent movements have prepared
the way.
Simultaneously with this important news
comes tho report that the government of Prus-
STA has asked that of Austria why the troops
of the latter are being concentrated in Galicia.
For some time past Austria has been accused
Of attempting to foment an insurrectionary
spirit among the Poles but she has heretofore
protested that she has made no unusual mill
tary movements on the Galician frontier. The
attitude taken by Prussia shows how entire is
the unity of purpose between herself and Rus
STA, not only on the Eastern question, but in
the North. The troubles Of the Hapsburgs
seem to be increasing, and there now appears
to be but one choice for Austria between hui
initiation and war.
The Emperor Napoleon has his own domestic
difficulties, although it is not likely that they
will prove of a serious character or interfere
with his foreign policy. Advices from Paris
and London represent the French people Of
dissatisfied and "disgusted" with the measures
recently put forth by the Emperor in the shape
of reforms. The virtual suppression of debate
upon the policy of the government appears to
have aroused the indignation Of the excitable
Frenchman, and to have overbalanced the
sops offered to him as an equivalent for the
TRADES of Theirs and Favre. Indeed, he finds
little just now to crafty his self-esteem III the
acts Of his government either at home or
abroad. But bold position on the Eastern
question and the great Paris Exhibition will
no doubt soon turn the tide again in favor of
the Emperor.
The British government has its hands full.
and its neutrality on the Eastern question is q
necessity rather than q choice. The reform
agitation advances steadily, and every days
existence gives it strength and solidity. A
formidable bread riot has occurred at Green
witch, and in the present unsettled and revolu-
tionary condition OF the public mind every
such event is an additional peril to the govern
ment. A serious bread riot is also reported at
Madrid, which may be in reality the com
mencement Of the revolution that hangs over
Spain. The complexion Of the news from all
quarters is warlike and revolutionary, and il
seems probable that some of our European
friends who have been predicting another re-
bellion in the United States may find enough
to do to preserve peace within their own
borders.
