IMPORTANT pcspntcl,es FROM Europe.

Our special cable kilograms from Europe,
narrating the events OF yesterday in the Old
world, with news advices from other sources,
conveyed through tho same channel, which
appear in our columns this morning, bring in
TEN hsence OF the very highest Importance. 1t
Is important to the peoples Of the earth, i'm
portant to the cause of democracy, and OF
almost vital import to the works Of civilization
and progress.
A special telegram from Paris reports Napo-
leon speaking to the French people on the sub
ject OF the pte6sscitum in one OF those famous
neutrality-suspicious. the most famous of them
all--ior The production Of which his Majesty
has become 80 justly celebrated Bonapartist
Imperialism instructs French democracy as to
its rights cnligh.cps it as to lis duties. The
Emperor reviews tho march OF his subjects in
the path of lib raj and rational reform during
the past eighteen years, and asks that they
crown their own work by a solemn ap-
proval and unanimous proclamation Of
It's solidity aud endurance. Ho refers
his individual work, pledges his fidelity to the
constitution and his loyalty to tho ma sses, aud
then asks that the dynasty be approved for
perpetuation ia the person Of his son. The
imperial proclamation is really a fine effort
philosophic, pathetic, skilful, exciting and
paieraal. It's publication will produce most
decided effect in Franco--may, perhaps prove
efectual for the purposes indicated.
Rome Is reported by special telsgram from
the Vatican. The Church appears in her
clerical splendor and Papal magnilcence ad-
vanciug in dazzling array towards the declare
ton of iniallibilty. Pope Plus TX. was
present in tho Council. The frs. four chap
ters of the Schema de Fide-those which con-
demn rationalism and hsterodoxy-were read
and placed before the prelates for approval or
rejection. The Holy Spirit was duly invoked,
a few dissenting preiates retired, the ballots
were cast and counted and tho four chapters
do Gde accepted by unanimous declaration.
The Belgian bishops wish to advance at once to
infallibiity Napoleon is in more active COM
munication with the Holy See. We may con-
worse, in faith, morals, and even civil rule,
will be inaugurated-an era new to the Old
World particularly.
From Greece come tidings of blood-of the
murder Of unofending, trusting travellers
Some members of the party of English tourists
have been murdered in cold blood. The bri-
gands were surrounded by the troops of the
King of Greece, and despatched their prisoners
sooner than forego their professional levy Of
ransom or surrender. Tie execution Of this
airccious act may produce tie most serious
consequences, change, perhaps the bearing of
the Eastern question completely--it may be
revolutionize the East.
England was alarmed by the action of Irish
radical revolutionary agitators In London;
drop in the seethiug cauldron of the European
sgitation-insignidcan yet siynincant-a drop
which indicates the dark surcharge Of the po-
litical horizon, and which may herald the ap-
proach OF the bursting Of the cloud. Spain
remains agiiated over the news from Cuba, and
Madrid was still feyered by the publication of
silly c0asar,ts on the subject Of affairs at home,
thus showing forth the existence in her system
of state Of tremulous decrepitude, such as
that which frequently precedes the dissolution
Of hations and warns humanity of it's approach
to death aud eterrity.
Germany and Russia have turned their faces
still more earnestly TO the far East-to China,
the soil it may be Of the future as of the past
O soil on which it may be that German con-
stitutlonaiisn may so temper Che autocracy of
the North that the two peoples may join hands
and walk forth to liberate, educate, regenerate
and enfranchise the hoary lands, and thus
give the world new life from the most ancient
seats Of learning, of science and of art Such
Is the tenor of our special kilograms from
Europe to-day.
