THE STATE OF EUROPE.
The Times in an article on the state of Europe,
sats: Little notice has been taken of paragraph
which recently appeared in the Vienna PresSe hint
ing at a probable disarmament The news is too
good to be true We will not undertake to say what
results the diplomatic contrivances Of the past few
weeks have had toward improving Napoeons posi-
ton with respect TO foreign affairs so as to enable
him to meet his home difficulties with sufficient con-
fidence of success. II it is true that Gen. Leb9uf
intends to drop the scheme of gdrde mobile and
propose the suppression of general commands, that
might be taken as an earnest of the Emperor's pa
cifc and economical intentions. The interchange of
civilities between sOveTeigns and statesmen auguH
well for the chances of tranquility At the present
moment there is no apprehension of a warlike out
break no cause of Offense, pretext for dispute
exists The old alliances have been broken up, and
the balance of power is question of the past
II NAV be sand that peace now rests a sOunder
basis than ever.

The academy publishes a letter written by Lord
Byron in 1917 expressing his desire that the Noel
family will make a statement of the cause of his
separation from Lady Byron, and Dledgng himself to
meet all obligations incurred. Lord Byron writes
that ne is utterly ignorant of the reason for his
wifes actions and declares that ne is not of
the purpose for which the statement is withheld,
unless it is to sanction most infamous scandals by
silence.
