Seven DAYS Later from Europe.


York on Saturday afternoon, bringing seven
days later intelligence from Europe.
/. The tdngs By this arrival are momentous and
somewhat startling. France, it appears, has
resolved upon being governed by an Executive
Committee OF five members Of the National
Assembly, in the construction of which de-
cided slight has been put upon Lamartnc by
making him only the fourth instead Of the frs,
in rank--causcd probably by his advocacy oi
Iedru Roin, whom it was proposed to cx-
clude from the Committee.
The accounts from Italy, and especially from
Rome, arc astounding. The lately idolizej
Pope, it seems, is almost deposcd, and virtual
ly n prisoner in his own palace.
The flame of revolution has burst forth again
in the Italian States.
In Prussian Poland the agitation has taken
the form Of decided revolt and universal war
Money is plenty. Cotton has fallen l-sd
per 10. Flour is quoted at 2Gs Cd to 27s Cd.
The hosillitcs in l.ombardy have received
new impulse by the accession of the Pope to
the Italian conicdcracy agains, Austria, whilst
Prussia and the allies IL the north have enter
Denmark, Proper, Ju,and and the friendly
mediation of England in the quarrel has not
vet produced any practical results.
The Danes by sea have now begun 10 act
bv vigorous blockade ofa the northern ports
An official declaration Of the blockade of Ne-
nice by the Austrians has been issued
? From Lolnbardy there is an hourly expccta-
ton OF receiving news of 4 decisive engage
mcnt between Charles Albert and the Auslri-
ans under the walls OF Verona.
The Danes remained shut up in the Island
of \ Ascn up to the lth instant, when il is posi-
. lively stated that they Withdrew to Zealand.
The Prussign and allied army is at Wcile,
holding Fridcricia, the key of the little belt in
their possession. In the mean time the Danes
have declared officially the blockade of Stettin,
Stralsund Rostock, and Wismar, Pllau and
Dantzinc, and the Elbe.
, 1t Is beyGnd doubt thai the .Ausifians are in
most critical position, from which they can
only be extricated by the opportune advance OF
Count Nugeni whose successes have, il is
said, been checked by the coming up of the al
lies tom The south, and the determined rcsou-
ton of the people oil the country through
which he passes TO resist his progress.
! But the most important event of the war has
occurred at Rome. The rcpngnancc of the
Pope 10 declare war against Austria the most
Catholic country of central Europe has drawn
down upon lis holiness the whole weight OF
popular fury.
On the lst and 2d instant. 4 movement was
got up al Rome TO compel him to declare war
against the Aus,rians, which he long resisted.
The safety of the Pope, the cardinals, and, in
81, .i, i,-,,lf hpin, ,.r,n,,,,I g.. ,h.
mob vowed they would set FIRE TO 1.-THE Pope
al length yielded.
The Ministry was dismissed a new popular
administration formed, and the Tcrrorlsis be.
came completely triumphant. The concess-
IONS made are, that 10 priests shall in future
fill any public employment, war shall be form
ally declared, Pope Plus lN. to be the head OF
the Government, daily bulletin Of the news
from the seat of war to be published, and en-
enlargement given to volunteer amongst the
Roman youth 10 proceed to fight against the
Austrans.
The Romans were brought to this pitch of
Indignation by the crucltcs alleged to be prac-
tlscd by kadcshy towards his prisoners. ltis
even asserted that the Austrans had a scheme
of mining Ancona, and blowing up the Neapo-
Titan army on the day it arrived, together with
10. 600 inhabitants These inventions natur-
ay excite the Italians, and porlcnd more diff
cultics.
The whole ut Germany continues IN an agi.
,atcd state, and the report of the collection OF
an Army of 50 900 men between Bambcrg and
Nuremberg has created deep sensation at
Paris On the Prus.lan-Pulish frontiers the
utter disorganlza,ion of all government, has led
to the mos, irightfu excesscs.
As far rs We can Judge, from the conflicting
accounts which reach US, 1t appears that the
Germans having broken faith Nth the Poles III
certain concessions granted to them, the latter
fed 10 arms.
\ succession Of the fcrccst battles has been
fought. the two last at Nionz and AT Mioslaw
have bccn irigh,tuiiy h'o.,dy. Tbs carnage of
the first battle was only exceeded by that of the
second.
The Prussians had ten thousand mon. whist
the Poles were a mere handful. and yet the
slaughter was terrific. The Prus-ians were
beaten. The whole province of Poscn was in
arms, and that city Is not unlikely to be taken
By the Poles.
Between the latter and the Germans the
hcrccst anlmosity subslsis the Poles have re-
fused to Send any delegates TO the Diet, and in
fact abjurc all connection with the Germans
Prussia seems to be IN a dcplorabe state, from
Ircyes To- POscn and the distress IA Berlin is
intense.
/ The Queen of Portugal has Issued decree.
appointing commission to carry into effect the
abolition of slavery IN the Portuguese ultra
marine possessions.
The youth of Germany, however, flushed
with success at their exploits IN IIolstein-
chleswIg. seem Ia have contracted the war
mania and are lookIne out fur fresh fields of
glory
IRELAND.
Iceland has become more tranquil. The
Limerick affair has tended not a little to this
salutary result. II is quite clear that there
will be no revolution IN ireland this time and
tina, whatever changes may be brought about,
they wIlI only b. effected by peaceful agitation.
