ARRIVAL OF TILE EUROPA.

The arrival of the Royal Mail steamer Europa,
Capt. Lott, at Liverpool, yesterday, at 2 p.m., has
put us in possession of news from the United States
eight (lays later than previon-ly. The Europa left
Boston on the 18th inst., at noon, and brings dates
from New York of the evening of the previous day,
and Ilalifax of thu 20th, Sho had about 30 passen-
gers and 208,000 duls. specie on freight.
The United States steamer Pacific, Capt. Nye,
arrived at New York on the 12th inst., having left
here on the 28th ult., and the Royal Mail steamer
Canada, Capt. Ilarrison, on the morning of the 18th,
the Pacific having made relatively the best passage.
Yesterday evening the Europa met the Asia, for
I New York, off the Irish coast, she having started
from Liverpool at noon, with nearly 100 passengers.
The proceedings in Congress are quite unimpart-
ent to European readers.
On the 14th inst. John Fienne Crampton, Esq.,
presented to the President of the United States, the
letter of recall of Sir Henry L. Bulwer, and his own
credentials as envoy extrordinary and minister ple-
nipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty to this govern-
ment.

Kossuth was at Cincinnati on the 14th; he ad-
dressed the Hungarian Fund Association this even-
ing, at Smith and Nixon's Hall. One thousand per-
sons were present, and many offered high prices for
admission, but the numbers were limited. lie made
no set speech, but promised to be no next week, when
it is expected he will address all the friends of Hun-
gary, at the Hamilton Railroad depot.
It is understood that the banquet is to come off,
and that Kossuth will be present to make a few re-
marks at least.

It is stated that Mr. Barrenger, the American
minister at tho court of Madrid, by his earnest ap-
plication, obtained the release of the Cuban prisoners
before any instructions from his government relating
to them reached him. So, also, the pardon and re-
lease of Mr. Thrasher were obtained by Mr. Barren-
ger before ho received a line from Mr. Webster on
the subject, and before the arrival of the special
bearer of despatches relating to it from the United
States. Mr. Thrasher was expected home shortly.
The Ilerald says:
We are sorry to hear that the German population of Mo-
bile took occasion to publicly iusult Chevalier Hulsemsnn,
the Austrian charge, on his recent passage through that
city, en ►oute to Hosanna's. However unpopular a foreign
representative m►y make himself, our citizens should never
so far forget their own dignity and self-respect as to per-
sonally insult him. The disgrace bmulht upon the whole
country by the proceedings of a few lawless rioters against
the Spanish couasul at New Orleans should not have been
so soon forgotten.

The intelligence from California is nearly three
weeks later than before.

The steam-ships California and Golden Gate had
arrived at Panama from San Francisco, the latter in
12 days 18 hours, including 18 hours detention at
Acapulco. She sailed from San Francisco January
21, arriving at Panama February 3. The El Dorado
left Chagres February 5, and Jamaica February 9.
A number of gentlemen started fmtn Panama im-
mediately on their arrival in the Golden Gate and
arrived on board the El Dorado off Chagres in ex-
actly 14 days from San Francisco, including all
stoppagmt.
The United States troops who created so much
disorder at Kingston had been prevented from land-
ing at Chagres.
The El Dorado arrived at New York February 16,
at 5 p.m. Running time, including crossing the
Isthmus, 23{ days. This is the quickest time yet
made between the two ports. The El Dorado has
experienced very heavy weather coming on the coast,
as also in crossing the Carribbean Sea.
The rains on the Isthmus have ceased, and the
Gorgon,. road is in first-rate order. Fare up the
ricr in small boats, 4 dole, or 5 dots. The Isthmus
is remarkably healthy. The passengers at Panama
were leaving rapidly in sailing vessels, being obliged
to pay fall prices. All persons holding tickets in the
Pacific Mail Company's ships, were sent forward
without any delay. Steamer tickets were selling
a: quite an advance, the company having steamer,
ssfticient to forward all holding through tickets from
them.
Colonel Fremont's title to the Mariposa tract of
country had been resisted.
Salt provisions were selling at very high rates for
▪ stores, ten barrels of beef having been sold
at 1,000 dole. We take the following items from the
summary of the &ening l'icayune of Jan. 20 :
Dr. 0. M. Wosencraft, U. S., Indian commissioner, has
jest returned from the southern country, having conclude,l
a treaty with the Cahuilla, Pablo, Caliente', end San
Luis Key Indians, which stipulates that, In consideration
of presents of iron, cattle, clothing, &c., and the setting off
to them of a tract of land, forty miles long by thirty miles

the Desert to Warner's mein' and theses south. we to
Tuneculo, they will for ever remain at with the
United State. The commissioner promietd that he would
endeavors to purchase Temecula be them.
• portion of the commission for surveying the boandsry
between Meeks, and the V. S. territories, have arrived at
has Diego. The party arrived am from the Gila surveying
expeditiets, under Mr. linty. The survey of the Oita we
commenced in the latter part of October, under the most
unfavourable aspires, and prosecuted for about 350 miles,
and we only abandoned at the last moment, when the party
had no alternative butetervation. The survey was abandoned
about 60 miles abuse the confluence of the Oils and Colorado.
The weather has been extremely mild and beautiful
during the last fiftern days. There lies been bat little rain
in any part of the State from which we have advisee, and
I the miners are again suffering from the want of water. At
pretest there is but littlu prospect of a further fall of rain.
A Settlers' and Miners' Convention assembled in Sacra-
mento on Wednesday la.t. On Thursday, a aeries of rem-
lutions was adopted, setting forth the claim that the public
domain should be donated to actual settlers, in parcels of
160 acres; that, in the settlement of private land claims, "it
is the duty of government to giro no more vitality to any
eoncessicia or grant than it already possesses," under the
Mexican law, and that on latitude should be given in the
confirmation of such grants; that the Board of Land Corn-
miuions should not receive the former customs of California
as evidence in the settlement of titles; that the swamp and
tale lands should, in no instance, be granted in large quan-
tities; that, in regard to city end town lots, actual occupants
should have the right to purchase at nominal rates.
The eleventh r. solution recommends a general convention
of miners for the purpose of drafting laws to protect the
miuiug interests, iitc. In re ference to the mines, the twelfth
resolution sets forth as general principles, that priority of
claim should be uniformly respected; that, in quartz min-
ing, claims should nut exceed one hundred and fifty feet in
the direction of the ledge, double claims being allowed to
discoverers; that, in damming end flaming, no prior com-
pany shall back water upon the claim of smother for more than
ono season, and not at all if the subsequent company will
conduct the water into the flume or race of the first ; that
the extent of claims being gore reed by their richness and
accessibility, no system of laws can be made uniformly up-
prelble in all districts.
Oregon advice' to the 9th inst. give no information of the
final adjournment of the five members of the legislature
who recognise Oregon city ea the seat of government.
In San Francisco the police force has been re-organised.
It now consists of thirty. two men, each receiving 150 dole
per month, and a captain and assistant-captain, who each
each receive 200 dole per mouth ; so that the expense of
this department will scarcely exceed 5,000 dole per month.
George W. Queerly is captaiu, and ilanipton North assist-
ant. Special policemen are employed by several of our
heavy property holder., and are maintained at their ex-
pense, but clothed with authority by the mayor and marshal
of the city.

The news from Central America is interesting.
There has been a terrible tire in San Juan do Nica-
ragua, destroying a third of tho town. There had
also been another revolution in Nicaragua. When
will there be any stability in the Central and South
American states ?

The supreme government of tho state of Honduras
had issued a decree relative to the occupation of the
Rio Romano by Sir James Green, in her Majesty's
ship Bermuda. The decree declares such proceedings
outrageous and unlawful, and authorised the punish-
ment of the agg..essora.
Advice. from Mexico are to the 24th ult. The
only intelligence of any consequence is that relative
to the severe gale of the 13th at Vera Cruz.
