The English intelligence received by the packet
ship William Byrnes, which is to the Sth Of Nov
presents decided change in the relations ot Euro
pean affairs. ihe final intentions Of the Porte ap
pear as uncertain as ever and though no doubt a
great part Of the rumours to which the events OF
the day are continually giving rise, are either idle
conjectures gotten up for stock jobbng purposes,
the better opinion seems to be, that European at
fairs must be considered in quite an unsettled state.
The silence OF Austria, in c0nnexlon with her pro-
cedures in the I4evan. certainly affords ground for
suspicion that she is net ready to take part with the
Allies, especially when is considered that the re-
suit Of any successful attack on the Ottoman pow
er, will be TO give prepondcrating advantages to
Russia. The silence and protracted delay OF the
Porte. are equally expainabe on two grounds. r.
ven if she concession necessary in the end. it
would be natural in her to tempori1e. and postpone,
at least. this nvasion as she must conceive it, her
rights of sovereignty. If resolved on war, the de-
lay would be equally desirable. both to postpone the
actual evil, and take measures for breaking its force
when it comes, as much as possible.
