The news from all parts of the Continent is for
the moment simply neutral. Rumours continue to be circulated, apparently by Russian channels, that the points on which the treaty of Paris seemed about to be violated will be given up, or have been ; but we see no authenticated report that such is the case.
The Spanish Government has suppressed the insurrection,— and remains passive. Nothing is done to relieve the anxiety of the Spanish public ; no explanation is given, no programme is- sued according to promise.
The Emperor of the French has returned from Plombiere,s ; but no assurances are given that his health has benefited by the country residence. There is no doubt, however, that the state of the foreign relations of Franoe—the views of England in re- ference to the conduct of the new Spanish Government, the in- creasing difficulties in Italy, aggravated by the dense obstinacy of Naples, the new difficulties in the accomplishment of the treaty with Russia, and other complications of the day—demand the close and active attention of the Emperor, whether he has reco- vered or not ; and he gives that attention.
