EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
LETTER r o rri
[Cerrerrondettee of the Philadelphia Evening Belletini
Penis, Tuesday, March 24th, le6B.—The calm
attitude of the American people under the Im
pending crisis of their domestic affhirs is now
striking people in Europe as forcibly as the
energy displayed during the war. The Mimi_
i , ur, of yesterday, remarks that "all its cor
respondence from the States confirms the
impression that public feeling there becomes
calmer, instead of be,confting more excited." The
nation, it says, "continues to follow with
interest the course of the proceedings com
menced at Washington, but without apparently
being any longer apprehensive of the results.
The impeachment of President Johnsen has
called forth, doubtless, malty demonstrations on
both sides, but these partial exhibitions, are
narked by a party spirit which greatly lessens
their significance." The Maniteur means to say
that the American nation looks calmly on,
secure in the course of law aid order lieillg
observed, and conident in the strength and
play of their free institutions belie . eullicient
to bear this new strain which is put
upon them. A.,higlser homage could scarcely be
paid than that which is conveyed in the above
language, and wbich is eomething very different
from the insinuations daily put out a short time
ago by the semi-official journal about anarchy,
eepi a", tor. a dictatorship, i.e. &c.
We are still talking about the "Imperial" pam
phlet; tint the opinion which I recently exprcs i sed
ee to the generel disappointment experienced
at the contents of this publication, re
euitee no modification. On the contrary,
ties journals of every shade of opinion—
except those which uphold every act of the ad
minietrutien—are unanimous in condemning the
toee of the pamphlet. The total oblivion into
which the cte A aditenold, the only liberal
illeamre. of Napoleon 1, is thrown, has given
-pedal offence, and so has the intimation which
bteun., to be eouveyed that such meagre acts as
the Bills on the Press and the Right of Public
Meeting arc to be considered as the "crowning
of the edifice." and that no more - liberty" can be
eeeordcel without a fresh appeal to the
people and changing the basis of the Imperial
Constitution. The mischief of the present posi
tion of things in France ie, that no one accepts
the "Constitution" as a real thing. The only
reality about it is the Emperor himself. It is the
Emperor who governs France, and not the Con
sututihn, and It is he who can, as a matter of
tact. really do or undo almost anything. In
ether words, the imperial Constitution, as Mr.
Larlyie would &mei "won't walk;" at least, it
won't walk by itself. It is always in leading
strings, and is just as much so to-day as it was
fifteen years ago; and the country begins at list
to suspect that there is no real Intention that it
should ever be otherwise. The pamphlet reveals
un uneasy feeling on the part of the government
that it knows this to be the case, and is meant to
be a sort of appeal to the nation, reminding it of
its own share in the contract, and endeavoring
show that the dynasty has lone all that it pledged
itself to do. But a long series of imperial ads
takes (always beginning with that fatal Mexican
expedition) led to loss of personal prestige and
confidence; and I doubt much whether the pub
lication of this pamphlet be not another false
move in the same direction.
It appears that a great deal of disaffection ex
isted at Toulouse before the late outbreak on the
Army bill. The town council bad been arbitra
rily dissolved a short time ago, although elected
ity univerael suffrage, and a Commission nested
by the Government in its place to carry out mea
cures displeasing to the citizens. Then, again
!he city itself Las been recently cut-up among
hree electoral colleges of the Department, so as
cliph:My to swamp its votes by these of the
rural districts to which each part is annexed
the opinions of this great southern city are,
therefore, in fact, not represented at all in the
Legislature. Hence, a great deal of bad feeling,
which burst out on the occasion of the Army
bill, and is always ready to do so again.
sThe Emperor has been reviewing troops almost
daily,with the Prince Imps al always at his side
on horseback.
As if to prove the beneficial effect of the bill on
the "liberty" of the Press, one hardly ever takes
up a newspaper without finding a press prosecu
tion, and a condemnation, of course. Only yes
terday, for instance, I read, the Correctional Po
lice at Nantes condemned the unfortunate editor
of the Mire de la Loire to a thousand francs fine
and a month's imprisonment for "speaking ill"
of a public authority; and the same ruthieel tri
bunal in Paris condemned the editor of the Figaro
to five thousand francs fine and two months' im
prisonment for language "offensive to the Corps
Legislatif!"
And yet it is only after long delay and with the
greatest reluctance that the last mentioned body
has at last consented to allow the 'amts. and
other liberal journals to prosecute the Viseomte
de Kereeguen, one of its members, for his late
gross and outrageous libel upon the whole inde
pendent press of Paris.
Marshal McMahon has come over to Paris to
ask for a subsidy for his starving Province of Al
geria. The Corps Legislatif has voted a credit of
two millions for the relief of the Arabs.
There is a report that the Emperor Napoleon
is likely to visit the Emperor of Russia in the
course of the summer, so as to complete the
manifestations of the renewal of a good under
standing between France and the northern pow
ers of Europe. I have not the least faith in the
supposition of some of the London pa
pers, that Prince Napoleon's visit to Prussia has
reference to the Eastern question. I think the
Prince is about the lase man the Emperor would
have trusted with such an errand.
• -Our Parisians were engaged last week in cele
brating the mi cariane, or the middle day of Lent,
when an interval takes place in the supposed
austerities of- the season, and l it is lawful to

masked balls also re-open afresh; a few masks,
appear even in the streets, and men and boys

It would, I think, hare greatly amused
such of your fair readers as
.are
not habituated to Eurcptan customs. I
happened to be spending the tir,y in a little coun
try town, about a couple of hou's from Paris by
rail: In one el the narrow, dirty streets I meta
long procession.. At the head of it were two
drums beating vigorously. Behind them three
or four men with horns relieved occasionally the
drums. Next followed two immune trays of
rain bhai (answeristr, perhaps, to bidet's cake),
stuck all over with little flags, aid each• borne by
four men. And then Came the bride and bride•
groom, for it yea of course a wedding. The
former marched along - the rough road, her "poor
feet" shod in nothing stronger than thin white
satin slippers. Her thin white muslin dress
trailed oa the dirty stones, and the orange flowers
in her cap shook to the ,chilly March wind. But
the whole party looked quite jsrlly, and deter
mined to enjoy themselves for that day at least.
The drums beat, the horns played:, the neighbors
case to the doors to see the procession pass,and
behind followed a long train of friends and re
lations, all halted to the banquet at an adjoining
restaurant.-

cred Premature.
[Florence (March 29) Correspondence of thr Lomb).
Herald.]
A letter from the pen el Joieph Mazzini. on
the present state of things in Italy \ is an event
sere to attract a certain amount of public atten
tion. As.you may suppose; Mazzini \comments
in bitterly severe terms upon the moral Cowardice
of the Italians of all parties during tliceeent
erisis. After having reared, at an immen cost
,•t blood and treasure, tke great edifice oi se,
\lna
(io proclaimed nal independence, after having , proclai „to
(be four corners of the earth that Rome was to
-town the building, what, asks 'Mazzini, does \
oily do at the very time when of all others it he
!,:(caved her to give a proof of the faith that is in
r. and of the firmness of the majored resolve?
•'ln opposition to the unanimous will of the na
ion,siid to the declarations which all Europe had
.lectid with applause, an intrudiats voice is
the voice of the French Emperor, a voice'
..1 prohibition. unjustifiable, 'unprovoked, arbi
-itrary,'lnsolent, and without the excuse even of
, et sonal interest. What then takes place? King,
Ministers and Parliament tremble at the sound
bf that voice, accept the prohibition, and ,ac
;.nowledge Its utterer as their uadisputed lord
eel master. Choose for yourselves another
capital ! cries this threigner : and they choose
..bother. ?ut down Garibaldi by force of arms !
,rid they put hint down. Defend, against Italy,
nd on behalf of the Pope, what you have-de
hired to be Italian ground; and they undertake
.() defend it. Back from that frontier! and they
ao back. Then. as If In act of solemn defiance,
:,nil to eloSe the doer of the future. a French
Nlinisfer rises in his place, and says before all
Europe: 'ltaly shall never have Rome, for Fr bee
.`ills it so,' and King, Ministers and - Parliament
in Italy listen in silence. The country dares not
,bake off its sluggish apathy. and quietly brooks
insult. Is there a more shameful page than
+Me in the history of nations?"
3fazzini adds that in an array which counts
among its highest grades the names of Bird°, Me
dici, Coadtta and Cialdini, note single officer broke
;,is sword is two, that in a Chamber in which are
sitting men like Bertani, Cairoli, Nicotera, Mi
. cli, Asproni, Fabrizi, Mobelli, Pianciani and
I amaio, not twenty, or ten, could be found with
be courage to demand the instant evacuation of
be French troops, and. in case of need to re
nouece their mandate. And in the bitterness of
Ills spirit he quotes the taunt flung by Ugo Fos
col° in the teeth of his countrymen half a cen
tury ago
- A nation that uses its name as a theme for
arrogance and not as an incentive to courage, a
nation that whimpers over its servile state, but
dares, not rise to put an end to it gives an ea
ease to its neighbors to deride its frivolity, to
humble its pride, and to seize upon its wealth.
adding its name to that of the herd of conquered
people. Such a nation, oh Italians, is yours!
Be slaves, therefore, and hold your peace.'
The writer condemns the recent movement as
premature, and therefore necessarily doomed to
tail, and deprecates all similar attempts in future.
finch, he says, can lead to nothing but a useless
sacrifice of precious lives, and all who yield to
the temptation of promoting or taking part in
rash adventures will prove that they love their
own ambition better than their country or Rome.
The work of silent preparation mast be begun
anew, under the guidance of a single name and
with a clearly defined line of action, excluding the
eo-operation of all who refuse their unreserved
~ dbeeion to the entire programmed the party,al
- bough after the object in view shall have been
,twined, their alliance need no longer be re
euised. The movement, therefore, is to be con
ned to a small section of the people, the Repub
ican followers of the writer, ;tad consequently is
eot likely to disturb the ordinary course of
. vents, unless indeed the popular 'discontent
bould in process of time, produce an entire
-hange in the present state of the public mind, a
:epic upon which Mazzint like all exiles,
whether from compulsion or from choice, is
ikely to be unduly influenced by the one-sided
presentations made to hiunby his own adber•
its.
ItUtIMIAL.
Poland Blotted Oat•
A Warsaw letter in the Sijc/c says : " Russia is
not now satisfied with abolishing the title of King
dom of Poland,but appears to wish to suppress the,
very name of Poles. For some time past certain
!tussian jeurnals speak if that population as
Lechites. They have found this name in some
old chronicles, on which basis they have con
structed quite a new historical theory, and
which may be summarized as follows: "The Le
chiles, who were a foreign tribe, subdued the
tlclaves inhabiting the country between the Oder,
Dnieper,
ltaltlc anti Carpathians; reclined them
to the state of serfs, and under the name of Poles
oppressed them during ma any centuries, commit
ting every crime, until the Russians delivered the
t.uttering Belve populations from their yoke.' "
Alluding to the rumors about Prince Napoleon's
visit to Berlin, the 60/es says that Austria may
have good reasons to sever Prussia from RuSsia;
but that the Austrian statesmen are under a great
delusion in supposing that the phantom of Pan
'lavism will induce Prussia to re-establish Poland.
and cede the port of Dantzic.
The Vienna New Free Press of March n'says:
We learn that the French Cabinet has an
nounced its intention of Inviting very shortly the
signatories of the Vienna treaties of 1815 to take
into consideration whether and what steps in
common ,ought to be taken relative to the late
wets of Russia whereby the Kingdom of re
lund to exist."

Mr. Probasco, has collected, during a recent tour
in Europe, a very judicious gallery of modern

ill. Probasco has had the fortune to secure a
replica of Couture's 'ldle Boy," sometimes called
•.liay Dreams," that loveliest reverie of laiguor
and adolescence
He has likewise brought over an example of
Delacroix, the modern Riibuns, in a pizture
which, while it may not present any
marked evidences of genius, yet has
the characteristics of the painter of "Dante and
irgil Crossing the Styx." The artist here de
picts a scene from (I'as:so's "Jerusalem Delivered"
in the story called "Oiled and Sophronia," when
two lovers, about to be burned at the stake, were
rescued by Clorinda, an Amazon, who, it will be
u: membered, at the critical moment dashes in on
horseback and saves them. The, scene is dra
ma,tic, the figures are admirably drawn, and the
tone of color is rather low, but rich and harm.-

"PLAY" AT TUE AROII.—The latest faahion
among plavrrights is the fitting of their produe
tions with monosyllabic titter, which are, as it
were, the expression of the spirit' and design of
the text. instead of the old two-line title"
which need to flare across the bills, we now have
a crisp, short, and very striking names of four
or fire letters. "Roderigo de Gonzales, or the
Songninary Bandit of the Cordilleras;" "Blighted
Affection, or the Child of the Sorceress of lied'
Cliff," and the like, have given way to each con
cise titles as "Caste," "Surf," and: "Ours." Ire
many caeca the loss of intensity in the name, has
been more than compensated for by the effective
ness and general merit of the dramas, es that If
we are to accept the theory that brevity. of title
is in future to be indicative of excellence, we
may expect remarkable merit when the principle
is carried to its furthest limit, and dramas are
announced with such names as "Oil" or "I,"
or "Om 1" We greatly , fear, however, that the
rule will sot - held good in every , case. It cer
tainly does not, entirely, In that of T. W. Robert
son's drama, Play, produced at the Arch , Street
Theatre, last evening.
Play is sot nearly as geed ES either Ouro i or
Ceiste, by the same - author. Mr., Robertson has
one excellent peculiarity as a dramatic writer—
he knoWs how to arrange very striking situations
by bringing his cbaractem together at the most
inopportune Timemet in the most unexpected
manner. This talent finds expression in Play,
but the drama lacks force, from the tact that the
plot Is of the most coinnonplace and'obvious cha
racter, and that nearly all of the characters arn
usual and uninteresting. Here is the story:
"Rosie Farquhar&' is pretty and poor. She
is saved from drowning by "Frank Price," who is.
good-looking and rich. "Rosie's" uncle and
, guardian, "Don. Bruce Ferenhare," is Art anoma
lous combination of gentleman.and blackleg, and
is in league with "Chevalier Browne," who Islam
adventurer. "Browne" learns that "Rosie" has
bad a fortune left her, and, keeping the secret to
himself, be - makes love to her. "Price" does the
same, and is accepted. "Browne" has a wife,
who diaeoveres his infidelity and rascality, and
faintS away. "Price" holds a smelling bottle to
her pretty nose, and is sees in that situation by
"Rosie," who thinks him also to her. The wife
attempts to warn ‘`itoeit.:" against her husband's
advances, and "Rosie" thinks she refers to
-Price." so, regarding the latter as a married
man, and a contemptible one at that, she cuts
him, and he dl (course experiences the regular
old ffieltioned anxiety to die: But the matter is
explained through the medium of a letter he has
written to "Price'"—a letter which the with as
serts is not a composition of her "Browne'a," and
everything, consequently,winds up pleasantly,as
it ought and inevitably must.
This. is not much of a plot, aid were it net that
it is elaborated by excellent actors, and if ft were
not that Mere are subordinate characters in the
drama which add greatly to its attractivenesseli
would be stupid-and unendurable. Tie scene is
laid at a German watering place, and-there is an
old lady there nained"Mrs. Kinpeck;"ehe is hope
lessly impecunious, has an absolute passion for
gaming, and is altogether such an original,
amusing, and moreover, perfectly' natural per
sonage, that she gives the whole play a spirit
and interest that it could not otherwise possess.
She is engaged in constant verbal sparring with
a certain "Botiwin Todder," who has made his
fortune in starch, and is troubled with dyspepsia.
Both are witty and amusing, and the scenes be
tween them are the best in the play. But "sirs.
liinpeek" is such a perfect conception of a
wicked, avaricious, tattling, selfish old
woman of , the world, as would
have reflected credit upon any author. This
character received fullest justice at the hands of
Mrs. Thayer. Mr. ilemple's representation of
the dyspeptic starch merchant was also very ex
cellent. Mrs. Drew, Miss Price, Mr. Walcot, and
Mr. Mackay of course did everything with their
respective characters that could have been done.
They are all recognized as artists of merit. Mrs.
Drew, particularly, played "Rosie" with inimita
ble grace,and spirit. Mr. Marlowe made his
initiatory bow this season, as "Frank Price," and
played with all his old skill. The cast fortu
nately included the most competent members of
the company, Mr. Craig having been introduced
for the purpose of singing "The Last Rose of
Summer." wlaich he did with less sweetness than
Ilabelmann ionld have done, but gracefully and
witlenseticla expression. There are two very novel
and amusing pantomimic characters in the drama
—both Germans without knowledge of the Eng
lish language—and by their singularity, and the
ebsnrdity of their blunders, they contribute
largely to the relief of the inanity of the plot.
Play is placed upon the stage in very hand
some style. That attention to detail for which
the Arch is celebrated is observable throughout
This fact, together with the attraction of the
two or three really new characters iu the piece,
may insure its success. But it never will excite
the enthusiasm of the ' audience as Casts and
mss did, and we do not think it is,destined to
have as prolonged popularity.
"Tux Bcscre CIWOII." AT TIIE CHESTNUT.—
After two weeks' of elaborate and uninterrupted
preparation, the spectacle of the Black Crook was
produced last night at the Chestnut,Street Thea
tre. In some respects it was stiecessful--the
house was very well filled,- and the performance
passed off without any perceptible jar. The
dancing was very wretched, however, and worthy
of nothing but condemnation. Several of the
dancers who were anummeed did not appear,
I end us no explanation or apology was vouch
sated for their absence, the fair inference
thatis the spectacle will be presented
'Without them throughout the period of
its representation at the Chestnut.
The scenery, transformations, costumes and the
meting were all very good, although no features
were presented differing in any material respect
from those which were observable at the Academy
o,l„Music. If we are to have pieces of this kind
upon the stage, it is to be hoped that managers
and playwrights:will display greater fertility of In
vention than they have done hitherto. The Black
Crook is a stale and wora-out spectacle, and the
ekeletion of text upon which its paraphernalia is
hung is eo contemptible that any scribbler could
improve upon it at twenty-four hours' notice. It
would have been wiser for Mr. Sinu to have pro
duced a new piece,even if the same machinery had
been used in its representation.. The black Crook
excitement has completely and hopelessly died
out.
