There is still an uneasy feeling respect
ino the threatening hostilities in the
north of Europe; but since the abrupt and
decisive termination of affairs between
Sardinia and Austria; the complete pros
tration and abdication of Charles Albert,
one of the most serious obstacles to
satisfactory adjustment of Continental
difficulties, seems to have been oYereome,
and could the Danish quarrel bedisposed
of, which unfortunately there is but little
prospect of consummating, nothing ma
terial would stand in the way tf perma-
nent prosperity.
The last London and Liverpool papers
do not make the least ailusionto American
stocks. Money, though still ABUNDANT,
has slightly increased in value.
The importation of breadstntis into
Great Britain continues on gigantic
scale, and the same may be said OF all
kinds of provisions. No change can be
noted in the grain trade, although
rather firm feeling was maintained during
the last few days previous to the salllng
of the steamer Europa

been removed from the scene OF impend-
inc strife on the continent, having ex-'

The diet of Krumsier, which was convok-
ed by the late emperor and has occupied
the few months of its existence III theo-
retical discussions has been dismissed,
after having promulgated constitution
not only for the countries represented at
Krumsier. but for the whole Austrian
empire. The great object which has
been kept in view by the designers OF
this constitution is, the making OF all
Austria into free, independent. individu-
al, indissoluble and constitutional mon
archy. With regard to the social and
political regulations guaranteed under

surprise to hear that the Emperor of Rus

the Hungarians.
