LONDON, October 28.

The Cabinets of Europe were scarcely ever more busily employed than at this time: the several Powers that have just closed an expensive war, are busied in reviewing the state of their finances, and in putting such schemes of economy into execution, as are become necessary for the welfare of the State; while they are no less solicitous in forming new schemes of commerce, and reviving all those streams of traffic which hostilities have secondarily put a stop to: Russia and the Porte are preparing for a war, which is likely to prove long, expensive and bloody; the Emperor is at present barely a looker-on--what part he may take hereafter, time and circumstances can only determine: the King of Prussia, old as he is, is playing a game also in the North, which will certainly be the foundation of future broils: Sweden and Denmark are now, as for years past, weighing each other: in their commerce and in their fleets they are nearly as natural rivals as Great-Britain and France: the Italian Powers are but of small consideration in the political scale at present, though the King of Sardinia's concurrence in some schemes may be found necessary to some of the powers in due time. In one point all the principal powers appear to have one aim: the concluding treaties of commerce with the new empire in America, from which they have certainly pictured to themselves, vast services and many emoluments.
