LATEST FROM EUROPE.

NEW YORK, JUNE 4.-By the ship Six
Brothers, in So days frem Havre, we
nave received our regular files Of Paris
papers TO the 28th April. They add no.
thing decidedly important to the in,elli-
gence received by the Amity. The
election principally engrossed the pub
lie attention Of France. Respecting the
affairs of Turkey and Russia, we perceive
in the Constitutional the following COM
munica:ion from correspondent at Vien-
ma, dated the 18th April. 1t refers to
the Austrian Observer, the official Aus.
trian paper, which was cited by the Eng
lish ministerial prints as conclusive au>
thority against war:
Grhe Austrian Observer has at length
broken the silence which il SO long pre-.
served respecting the affairs of Turkey,
but only to involve in doubt the intelli-
gence given from other sources. II says
nothing of the negotiations at Constan.
tinople, from whence we conclude that
the present state and probable results Of
that negotiation are not satisfactory to
the Austrian government or to Mr.. Met
ternichi besides the assertions Of the Oh.
server are in direct contradiction to the
information received by private and COM
mercial letters from Pera and Bucharest,
as well as Odessa, Semlin and Trieste.
That Austria is averse to war is well
known. The only object OF the inter-
view last year al Hanover between Prince
Metternich and the King of England and
his minister, was to concert as to the
means to be employed to prevent rup-
ture between Russia and Turkey. The
political system of Austria is founded on
the preservation of the present order of
things, even in Turkey. The revolu-
tionarv spirit which the court OF Vienna
perceives Throughout, Europe is the cause
of its efforts to prevent war, whose
consequences cannot be foreseen. 1t is
said that our ministers would rather con-
sent TO the cession of Waliachia and Mol.
davia to Russia, notwithstanding the dan
gers consequent therefrom To the here.
ditary states of the empire, than sec war
break out OH the cast OF Europe at time
when the rest of the continent looks i'm
patiently to reap the fruits of the rapid
and continued progress OF civilization and
knowledge. But i, is not sufficient that
Austria should employ all the arts of d.
! plomacy to preserve peace between the
| Christian powers and the inveterate cne-
| mics OF christianity: she would also pre-
ven, the circulation of any intelligence
| at variance with her political views. Ii
| is for these reasons that the Austrian Oh
/ server wishes 10 make us believe that
the Porte, wholly occupied by the war
with the Persians and the suppression of
the Greek insurrectlon, does not think of
the Russians, and has made no prepara-
tons for war against them; although
eye witnesses attest that the shores of the
Bosphorus are covered with Asiatic
troops, which increase daily, and whose
ultimate destination cannot be to act a.
gainst the Persians, nor yet against the
Greeks, who are quiet in Cons,ontinople,
and throughout the whole of Romelia.
The limited views fthe Austrian cabinet
arc not TO be the laws for the civilized
world. We know that very important
dispatches from Constantinopie arrived
at Vienna on the night of the 10th OF
April, by an extraordinary courier, and
vet the Austrian Observer OF tie 19th of
April, and even Of q later date, says no.
thing of the contents of these dispatches,
although they musr have been of the first
Importance, since Immediately after the
date OF their arrival, the conferences we're
held daily between Mess. Mcuerhich g
Fat;scheH. If the dispatches of Mr..
iutzow, (the Austrian minister of the
Porte, had been favorable to the contip-
vance of peace, the Austrian Observer
would not have failed 20 inform us of the
present state of negotiation at CoDstanli-.
noplc. All the private letters agree in
stating that from the 28th OF February to
the god of March, no new conference or
interview had taken place between the
Reis Effendi and the ministers of England
and Austria. These two diplomatis,s had
made all possible efforts to engage the
Porte 10 withdraw its last note and to
change and modify its contracts.
Ii is also fact beyond dispute, that
Mr.. Lutzow and Lord Strangford having
ascer,ained that their efforts were use
less, and that all further steps would be
unavaliing, have resolved to suspend pro-
yisioDally all negotiations with the Otto
man ministers until they receive further
dispatches from their respective courts.
In Consequence, all diplomatic relations
with the Porte during the first half of the
month of March, have entirely ceased,
and the negotiations have remained on the
same footing they were on at the CONS
meDcement Of that period, IL is true
