LATEST FROM EUROPE.
New York, Ger. III.

Harris, arrived this morning from Liver
pool. whence she sailed on the Sth ulhmo.
We have our usual files of English jour
nails, to the latest dates. The intelligence
from the seat of war is only one day Ia
ter than our former advices.
The Gazette de France Of the 4th OIL
September, contains news from Oddessa
of August 14-one day later than our last
accounts from thence. It IS re-asserted
that the Emperor Nicholas was to take
his departure from that place on the 18Th.
The shortness of his visit III that city, pro-
vided the account be correct, would COM
pletely overturn the report of negotiations,
as well as the speculations on the precar-
Gus state of the Russian army before
Shumla. 1t would also countenance the
opinion, that one of the causes ofthe En-
peror's visit to Odessa was to get rid Of
the Foreign Ministers, whose presence at
head quarters probably subjected him to
some restraint. Not a word, says the
Morning Herald, ''is said about the imPor-
tant negotiations, with which the stock
iobbers OF London, Paris, Frankfort and
Vienna, have recently amused themselves.
Lord Heytesbury, to whom so prominent
part was assigned in the negotiations,
was not presented before the 18th, on which
davthe same honor was conferred on the
Prince Philip, of Hesse Homburg, anoth-
er principal performer. See our former
accounts The intervening time was ev-
identity too short for discussions, in the
issue of which not only the fate of the OF
toman Empire, bat the peace Of all Europe
might be involved; though we admit ii
was long enough for the purpose Of dlcta-
ting to the young Monarch, if the Eng
/ lish and Austrian Cabinets were inclined
TO follow so decisive a course"
The second edition OF the London Cour-
ier of Saturday evening, September 6,
contains the last bulletins from the Rus
sian army before ShumIa, Varna, and Sill
istria. On the 9th, the Turks made a
fresh attempt to dislodge the Russians
from their positions before Shumla; but
they we're repulscd, and driven to the
foot of the ram2arts. In these sorties,
the Russians had thirty five men killed
and thirty-seven wounded. The Turks,
it's added had been employed two whole
DAYS in burying their dead. The Russians
clam to have been equally successful inI
resisting the sOrties Of the garrison OfSil-
lstrla.
The Courier announces dispatches from
Lord Heytesbury, at Odessa, to the 18th
of August. The Russian Guards have
passed the Danube, on their route to the
main army, before Shumla, the Grand
! Duke Michael was expected to leave Cd
essa on the 10Th to put himself at their
head; and the return ofthe Emperor TO the
army was expected TO take place before
the end of the month, by which time the
| reinforcements, TO the amount Of forty
! thousand men, would have reached their
destination. The Gatigues and hardships
to which the corps diplomatic had been
subject in following the head quarters, IN
Bulgaria, had been so severe, that 1t was
expected that they would remain, for the
for the present, at Odessa, until circum-
stances call for their presence IN advance.
The fortress Of Poty, on the Eastern shore
Of the Euxine, and the Russian Admiral
Craig was pressing Varna by sea. BY
neutral vessels, arrived at Odessa, from
Constantinople, it was stated that search
ty of corn began to be felt in that capital; IN
consequence Of which, an embargo was to
be imposed at Odessa, on all vessels bound
with corn to the Mediterranean.
An article bearing the lnde6nate date Of
-"From the Danube, Aug. D." says:
GAN the unfayorable reports on 'Change
at Vienna, respecting the visit Of the En-
peror Nicholas to Odessa, arc as ground
less as they are absurd. The spectators
on Change, whofnd it an easy matter to
quito pieces whole Russian armies every
day, show but little geographical and mill
tary knowledge, when they speak Of a re-
treat from Shumla to Odessa, followed
by an armistce, concluded from necessity.
The truth IS that the Emperor Nichols,
to give fresh proof Of his consistent mod
GRAFTON and love of peace, resolved tho
considering the lnfatuation of the Diyan,
the frutlessness of such a step may easily
be ioreseen to address a new representa-
ton to the Sultan; and in doing this to make
use Of the councils and cooperation of
Lord Heytesbury, the Duke dc Mortemart
and other diplomatic characters, who were
invited to Odessa with this view. The
military operations, however, viii not be
interrupted for a moment; on the contrary,
the presence Of the Emperor at Yama and
Odessa, will accelerate the seige Of the
former. and the ADVANCE of tine trnnns nov
