LATE FROM EUROPE.

/ L
By the packet ship Caledonia, from Liv-
erpool, we have papers to the 9TH nit.
The news brought by this arrival is vari-
Gus, and In some respects quite important,
as will be seen from our extracts below.
The Russians were pursuing their advan-
tages, and the Porte more willing to treat.
1t seems to be generally credited, that the
Russians have at last succeeded in passing
the Balkan mountains, which of course must
mark an important epoch in the war. We
have not the particulars of the routes or
I of the obstacles or facilities it afforded.
The assurances given III some of the Euro
pean Gazettes a short time ago, appears to
have been well founded, for we are told
that Choumla had been generally overrated
as place of Importance, and that moder-
ate force would secure the passage of the
mountains, by masking that fortress. This
appears to have been done; and not only
this, but the Russians had already pressed
the place hard, and were threatening a
storm.
The emperor was Fastening on a reserve
OF 10000 men to the Danube. There APP
pears to have been also some prospect of
an invasion of the Turkish coast by Rus
sian squadron; and although the Sultan
had given orders for several energetic mill
itary movements, the Refs Effendi had tes-
tilted his disposition to treat with the enc
my, by sending his dragoman, or linguist
to Gen. Diebitsch. A late report even pre-
tends that an armistice has been proposed
by Turkey.
The treatment of the English and French
ENJOYS was still such as to encourage the
hopes of all, and it is stated that on the
mr. &c Al q.
was given that the Porte wished to see the
performance of their wishes, if they would
not insist on embracing more in Greece
than the Morea and the Cyclades.
GREcIAN REPUBLIC. It is affirmed at
Constantinuple, that Immediately after their
arrival in that capital, the two Plenipoten-
tiaries of France and England, addressed
TO the Divan the protocol signed at London
on the 22'l of March last accompanying it
with note in very moderate terms, justify
ing each of the articles, and proving how
much it is to be wished, even for the ad-
vantage of the Porte itself, that they may
be accepted. The Porte is stated to have
answered, that it would deliberate on the
contents of the PROTOCOL that it was itself
DESTROYS of the pacificatlon of the Morea,
and might consent to acknowledge the new
political relations of that peninsula, and of
the Cyclades, on the conditions laid down
in the protocol, if satisfactory security were
given that these conditions would be fulfill
ed. At the same time it is stated that the
Porte has declared that it would not, under
any preteXt, hear of an extension of the
!. frontiers of the new Greek state beyond
the lsthmus of Corinth.
, Later German papers state that the ne
; gotiations in respect to Greece, hold out
at present, but little hopes of a speedy and
! favorable result. All the proposals of the
} two ambassadors have produced no effect
on the Refs Efendi, who obstinately de-
! tends the old system of Ottoman policy,

: favorable was expected, by the Europeans
at Constantinople, as the result of the de-
alterations of that august body, either on
the subject of Greece or of the war with
Russia. The two ambassadors have been
presented to the Sultan, and have person
ally enjoyed the most friendly reception.
WAR IN GREECE. The Greeks, it ap-
pears, by the French papers, have obtained
such advantages in Livadia in the latter
, end of June, that the military chiefs had
determined to attack the island of Negro.
pent. 1t is thought that the English cruis-
, crs will oppose the execution of the design
but is equally believed that the Greek gov
eminent will do its utmost to extend its
frontiers on the continent of the CULTS OF
Arta and VIOLA, and to add to their state
} the island of Negropont.
Florence July %. Letters from Syra, oil
the 18th, say, that the Greeks have taken
Thebes by captulation. Omer Pacha
of Garisto, had gone to the relief of Athens
but had been defeated and obliged to aban-
don his position and retreat to Negropont
In consequence of this event, the Greeks
had occupied Oropo, so that the Acropois
was left to itself, and would not be able to
hold out much longer.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Various state.
; ments in the Prussian and German papers
seem to countenance the report that Prince
Madatow had succeeded in crossing the
: Balkan, but it appears he has only with him
!, an inconsiderable number of light armed
troops, principally Cossacks. There is a
wide difference, however, between the mere
incursions of few light armed troops and
the passage of regular army. 1t is adj
mitted in the Constantinople accounts, that
: a few Cossack scouts had been seen to the
south of the Balkan.
!. The accounts from Constantinople to the
9TH July, state that the Turkish camp al
Adrianople was broken up, and the troops
: we're on their march to reinforce the Grand
Vizier at Choumla. 1t was confidently be

:. at their head. An account of the recent
defeat of the Grand Vizier had been pub.
llshed in Constantinople, but in a manner
.. to make it appear less disadva ntageous to
the Turkish arms. The most extraordinary
efforts were made to oppose with energy
the further advance of the enemy.
