EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

We have London accounts, from n. York.
to the 9TH, and uia Charleston to the 10Th
February.-A rapid view of both will embrace
the principal points of intelligence.
The hing of England's speech holds out the

turkey will be satisfactorily ad justed.-'rhis
Is important intelligence-and we are dispos-

but, when the agricultural interest is so
much distressed in England, will the farmers
quietly tolerate the idea of our sharing the
supply of the West India markets with our
breadstuffs?
Peace is likely TO be established between
itussia and the Porte. The latter, it would

that they are also willing 10 waive the demand
for the surrender of the Greek fugitiyes. Per-
