The Important Events in Europe Our paper of this morning will not hold all | the details of the iniportant news received yes- | terday by the Washington. We shall, therefore, | continue our extracts to-morrow. | arrival of the Washington—tmports: telligence—All Burope ina State of F tion. Yesterday afternoon this metropolis was again astounded and astc d, by the ar- rival of the steamship W sshington from South- n= us | ampton, with nine » later intelligence, | bringing us the most vt and wonder- | ful accounts of revo! aking out all | over Germany, from } erlin, of the Slight of Metternich, the bu is palace, the establishment of the liberty of ihe press in Vienna and Berlin, and various other revolutionary movements over the North and East of Europe.— We have little later intelligence from Italy, but probably as soon as the people of Lembardy shall have heard of the events in Vienna, an im- mediate revolution will take place there, and the Austrian troops will be driven from that country in confusion and disgrace. France is still in a state of great excitement, although it was quiet and peaceable at the last accounts. There had been very serious attempts at counter-revolution, growing out of the state of trade, and the distresses of the working clase- es, heightened, no doubt, by the suspension of the Bank of France, and the commencement of a terrible revulsion in commercial affsira in thet practiuny wit grauuduy, as mucn 86 a3 could’ ps expected from such an excitable people as the French are ; and, no doubt, they will continue to go on peacefully, till the election on the 9th inst., and the meeting of the national convention on the 20th inst. The most important feature of this intelligence is, without doubt, the revolutionary movements in Vienna and Berlin. Who would have dream- ed of such events? Who would have thought of such things two weeks ago, as the concession of the liberty of the prese, and the establishment of a national guard by the despotic court of Austria, and the other equally despotic mo- narchs of the rest of Germany? These events, however, are only the beginning of the great movements in Germany. Revolutions are ex- pected in Saxony, Bohemia, Hungary, and who can say that Poland will not attempt again to lift her head against the autocrat of all the Rus- | sias? Every week of the present age is a cen- tury. We have no time for remarks. Read the details. Germany may be a grand federal re- public before the middle of summer—and Italy ditto. Another most important event is thedeclaration made by the Emperor of Russia of the policy of non-intervention in the present condition of Eu- rope, provided no attacks are made on him, and no attempts at revolution are made within his do- minions ; but in such a revolutionary age, and with the fire of change burning all over the old continent, who can stop its progress even within the borders of Russia ? Thus we go. The enemies of liberty and re- publicanism, may find some materials in the ex- isting condition of France, on which to hang a hope of a counter revolution, hostile to the pro gress of democracy in Europe: but according to | the aecounts now before us, we think there is a better prospect for France and Europe, than in any former period of their history. The revolu- tionary movements in Italy, in Germany, and the North of Europe, and all around the new republic of France, will leave that great and powerful people to organize their own go- vernment, and to carry into effect, in their own way, the new order of things that will be brought forward in the national convention. There seems to be no danger of warat present. Aus- trie, Prussia and the other despotic powers, have their hands full at home, and probably will think less of torming combinations against the new republic of France, than of preserving such poweras their own excited people will allow them. In the present era, the public feeling of Europe is in such a state of exciten.ent, and its progress is so extremely rapid, that we should not be surprised 1f the next steamer brought us intelligence of the flight of the emperor of Aus- tria, and the running away of the king of Prus- sia, from their own dominions, including the es- cape of any quantity of grand dukes and duchess: 8. Nothing is too startling to expect from the present condition of Europe. That there will be a revolution in Jialy, seems inevitable, and the next intelligence will give us the first movements of a mighty earthquake in the land of ancient empire and modern song.
