CDOM EUROPE,

The British Ministry.-FOr some months |
mast, the public mind has been agitated by |
continual reports of changes about to take |
place in the Ministry; all agreeing that the |
present Lord Chancellor mast GO out; and
almost all asserting that Mr.. HuskissOn was
to be brought in.
The Courier of the 3Oth, after having, on
several previous days, denied that there was
any foundation for the rumOurs of difficult
ties, embarrassments, or probable changes, ln
the British Cabinet, thus categorically dis
pose of, the matter:
1--WE again say that every thing stated
respecting Offices to individuals, dismissals
from Office, arrangements, and the frequent
and importunate applications made by the
Duke Of Wellington to many Tor indeed to
any members of any Party to join his Ad-
ministration-aTe false"
Spain and Merico.-'The London Courier
of the Slst states that some gentlemen from
the city had an interview with Lord Aberdeen
the day previous, on the subject Of the inva-
sion Of Mexico by Spain. "Lord Aberdeen
gave the most satisfactory assurances that
the British government would take the most
effectual measures within their reach for the
protection of British persons and property
in Mexico. 1t twas suggested to his Lordship
that Great Britain having, two or three years
since, intimated to Colombia and Mexico,
when an expedition against Cuba was pre-
pairing, that she could not see with indiffer
ence any attack upon that island, it seemed
to be only reasonable that Spain should on
her part be prevented from attacking Mexico
end Colombia from Cuba to which Lord
Aberdeen REPLIED that the circumstances of
this armament having been fitted out from
Cuba, materially altered the position of af-
fairs under which the kind of prohibition
alluded to had been imposed on Mexico and
Colombia, and that the Government would
not fail to take into consideration the new
position in which affairs had consequently
become placed
FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.-A London
paper of evening of the Goth, says:-The
contents Of the continental journals received
this morning lead us to expect some very inn
portant accounts from the theatre of war in
the east and that, too, perhaps, before many
hours have elapsed; for, notwithstanding the
rumored negotiations of peace, which, by the
way, are not so plentiful as they were few
days ago, there appears to be neither sleep
nor slumber, no relaxation of activity, in the
respective armies of the belligerents indeed,
it is not improbable that the standard Of the
prophet has been already unfurled on the
plains Of AdrianOple, with what result few
days will inform US.
The accounts from Odessa, which are to
the 9Th inst. state that, according to the latest
advices from Marasch, Gen. Count Pahlen
had penetrated to Siliario, 1--WE suspect there
must be a mistake in the name of this place.

being enabled to reach AdrianOple before the
termination of the present campaign. The
advices from the frontiers Of Moldavia, which

army of reserve, consisting, it is said, Of 49,
900 men, were in full march towards the
p,incipalities of the Danube. On the other
hand accounts had been received at Belgrade
from Constantinople, of the lst inst, which
state that the camp of reserve at Adrianople
had received orders from the Sultan to march
Immediately upon ChOumla. 1t was also
understood at that date that the Sultan would
Immediately take the field at the head of the
corps darmee which had been collected at
Terapia the most active preparations, were
making for his departure.
Another. Russian Victory.-The London
Courier of July so, says 3" Success has also
declared for the Russians in Asia. where they
claim victory Of some importance. 1t APP
pears, however, that Count Paskewitsch had
not yet moved forward. and that the action,
ON the contrary. was the result of the Advance
Of the Turks against him and as the Seras-
kier was at the head of $4,000 men, at no
great distance, the issue Ofthe campaign can
not be considered as influenced in the least by
a first advantage. The following is the st.
Petersburg account:

Of her Majesty, the genera! pleasure was
