Arrival of the Europa at Halifax
12DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
ST.. john, N. B., Wednesday, !

Apfil 18th, O'Clock, A. NJ.
The Steamer Europa, Captain Lott, with ID
days later intelligence from all parts Of Europe
arrived at Halifax at l 9 past 10 yesterday A. M
Under the influence Of more favorable advices
from India, and theDexis,ing lull in the excite
ment OF Continental politics, trade in nearly eve
rs department IS beginning to assume more
cheerful aspect
There is still on uneasy feeling respecting the
threatened hostiities iu the North Of Europe
but since the abrupt and decisive termination o.
the conflict between Sardinia and Austria, the
complete prosra,ion and abdcaiion of Churles
Albert, one OF the most serious obstacles to a
satisfactory adjustment of continental difficuues
seems to have been overcome, and could the Da1
nish quarrel be disposed of-whch unfortunately
there is no present prospect nothing matera
would stand in the way Of permanent prosperity
in commercial nfidirs.
The importaions Of bread suff5 into Great
Britain continue upon gigantic ecale, and the
same may be said Of all kinds OF provis ons. No
change can be noted il the grain trade-altho
n rather frmer feeling was manifested during
line last few days previous 10 the sailing of The
Europa. There is an improved tendency appa-
rent 10 the Cotton Market.
FRANCE.
With some exceptional disturbances in the
distant provinces, France continues tranquil and
Louis Napoleon is proceeding in the surest pal
to maintain his position, by instantly suppressing
domestic disorder, and by steadily avoiding IN
reference by force OF arms in the talIs OF the
Iconterninous nations.
| In postscript OF the European Times, it is
stated, under date of Paris, Thursday evening,
that Government is stated to have received Off
cia notice that The King of Prussia has accepted
the imperial crown Of Germany.
ITALY.
At the sailing of The Niagara, i, will be re-
membered that war was Impending in the North
Of Italy, and it was anticipated that either the
| Austrians or the Piedmontesc would inn edlate-
y cross the Ticino boundary. In a brief Tort
night Charles Albert has fought ard has been
conquered, and is now an abdicated king, ard an
exile in Madrid or Lisbon. The AusirIans pas
sed the Ticno simultaneously with The pledlnon-
tese. The latter, however, speedily fell back.
Three successive battles ehsued In the two
latter, OIL the plains of Verceli. the Aus,rions .
were completely victorious. The last battle, on
the oath nit, the main army OF the Austtians,
some $4,000 strong, encountered Chatles Albert
at Olango, near Ovaro. The piedmontesa op-
peared TO have been OF more than equal force.
The battle was fought with terrible obstinacy,
and although we hear from many quarters that
the Italians Skunk the contest, certain it is that
Charles Albert behaved with the most dlslin-
gnlshad bravery. Finding the day going against
him, he seems 10 have sought every opportunity
TO meet his death on the battle field and what
conduct, certain II Is that nothing graced his
public life much as his last act on quitting it.
The Austrians having completely routed tho
Piedmontcse and driven them To the mountains,
Charles Albert a5dicated the throne in favor OF
his son, Victor Emanuel, and flag Of truce be-
ing sent TO the Austrian camp, Marshal kadelski
at once acceded 10 an armlsllce. The new
King pledges himself TO conclude treaty of
peace, to dlsband 10 military companies OF Hun
galians, Poles, und Lomburds, who are TO receive
an amnesty.
The consequences of this important battle are
scarcely yet developed III the different parts of
Italy. Modena, Tuscany, and Rome will prob
ably change their views, now that ali hopes from
Piedmont are at an end. 1t is generally belev-
ed that The Pope will be able to return to Zone.
The Scians hold out the French aud Eng
lish Adlnlrals have failed 10 make up matters
and at the last dates were about 10 depart.
HUNGARY.
OF the Hungarian war very little is known,
except that it RACES ierceiy. BEN having gained
some advantage over body OF Russians, soon
found himself overwhelmed with their numbers,
and the Emperor will gladly seize upor any pre-
text 10 interfere further. We shall not be at all
surprised to hear that the Emperor of Russia,
upon the solicitation Of the Austrans, brings
down large force to crush the Hungarans AZ
present there seems no probable termination Of
this deadly struggle, Gained On by both parties
III tn: most bar0arous manner.
GERMANY.
The Frankfort Parliament has finally elected
the King OF Prussia Emperor OF Germany, and
ii powerful deputa,ion has proceeded 10 Berlin,
TO tender the crown OF ChaIlemagne. At first
no one believed the king would be 30 mad as 10
accept the protiered houors, but ROW i, is beIiev-
cd that he will with certain conditions, SO as TO
avoid giving offence TO the other potentates of
Germany. Should he do this, 1t is generally
believed that il will most Certainly involve Prus-
STA in a war with Austria ana Russia. The lat
ter Power seems now resolved to put down The
revolutionary spirit in Europe-and only waits
the opportunity TO let slip the dogs Of war.
DENMARK AND HGLSTEIN.
Advices from Hamburg, Of The Sd instant, state
that there liz no chance now OF the differences
between Schleswig Hostein and Denmark being
anlcably settled, and no doubt that hostllties
will commence day tomorrow.
INDIA.
Dates from Bombay, 10 9TH of March, state
that another battle had been fought near Guzc-
rat between the British aud Sikh forces, in
which the latter were defeated, but the details
had not been received. From the 9TH TO the 18th
of February, VARIOUS skirnlshes took place, but
without any serious encounter. On the 18th the
Slkhs retIeated toward the Chenab, which they
were prevented from crossing by the Bombay
divlsion under Gen. hish On the following
day, the Two British divisions having effected
junction, Lord Cough succeeded in bringing the
enemy to IL battle III the open field near The city
of GIzerat III which the Slkhs were completely
routed, leaving great portion of their guns and
the possession OF the conquerors
