Tranquil state Of Affair. on the Continent.

The steamer Europa, Capt. Lott, witt
two weeks later news from all parts q
Europa, arrived at Halifax at lOk o'clock
yesterday morning. Our express left a
IL o'clock, and, though the roads are still
very heavy, made splendid run to Orgby
Gut, l45 miles, in l9 hours and FIVE min
utes. She brought ! passengers for Hal
flax, and 43 for New York.
The steamer America arrived in Liver
pool on the morning of the Sd, after sue
cessful run from Boston of 9 l-2 days.
The Washington, from New York, ar.
rived at Southampton on the 9th inst, ant
proceeded to Bremen next day.
Under the influence Of more favorable
advices from India, and .he existing lul

ming 10 assume more cheerful aspect
There is still an uneasy feeling res pectinc
the threatened hostiities in the north Of
Europe, but since the abrupt and decisive
determination Of the difficulties between
Sardinia and Austria, terminating in the
complete prostration and abdication Of
Charles Albert, one of the most serious OBJ
stacles to satisfactory adjustment of con.
tinental affairs, seems to have been over.
come land could the Danish quarrel be dis
posed of, Of which, unfortunately, there is
no present prospect, no material obstacle
would stand in the way Of permanent pros
perity.
The English funds are again on the ad-
vance, and Consols have risen 1-8 per
cent, during the last two weeks, having
fuciuated from SO 1-2 on the I'd, to so
and 90 l-2 on the 9th, at which they clos
ed for money.
We have the latest Liverpool and Lon
don papers, but do not observe the least
allusion to American stocks.
Money, though still abundant, has slight
ly increased in value. The lowest Bank
rate is still 3 per cent, but with private
Banks, the best bills are done at 2 i-2 per
cent.
The returns OF the Bank of England
show that the bullion in the vaults is about
100000 pounds sterling, so that the
drain which may arise from the United
States in connection with the inequality of
the exchanges, will be met without the
least difficulty, or fears Of renewing the
scenes of 1916.
The weekly returns of the Bank of
France show progressive improvement
of the trade of Paris. The French funds,
since the defeat Of Charles Albert, have
been well maintained.
The importation Of breadstuffs into Great
Britain, continued on gigantic scale, and
the same may be said Of all kinds Of pro-
visions.
No change can be noticed in the grain
trade, although rather firm belief was
maintained during the last five days pre-
vious to the sailing of the Europa.
Italy.
Charles Albert was defeated in pitch
battle by the Austrians, and forced to abb
dictate. He is now an exile in Madrid or
Lisbon. The Austrians crossed the Arno, |
when the Piedmontese speedily fell back.
Three successive battles were then fought
on the plains of Vercelli, in the last of
which, on the 9th ult., the Austrians
were completely victorious. The main
body OF the Austrians, some FIVE thousand
strong, encountered Charles Albert, near
Norana. After his defeat he abdcated the
throne in favor of his son Victor Amanu-
el. A flag of truce, asking for an armis-
tice, was then sent TO Marshal Radetzky,
who at once granted it. The new King
pledges himself to conclude peace, and
10 disband ten military companies of Hun
garians, Poles and Lombards. Ii is gen.
orally thought that the Pope will be able
to return 10 Rome. |
The King of Prussia has been elected
Emperor Of Germany.
France. -a..
France continues tranquil with the ex-
ception Of occasional disturbances in some |
Of the distant provinces. Louis Napoleon
is proceeding in the surest way to main
tain his position by Immediately suppress
ing all domestic disorders, and by steadi-
ly avoiding all appearance Of forcible in
reference.
The Hungarian war still RACES fercely.
Having gained a temporary advantage over
q body Of Russians, and pursuing them too
they were overwhelmed by a
Russian force Of thrice their number. It
is supposed that the Emperor of Russia
will order an irresistible force to advance,
as he only waits for pretext to crush the
Hungarians.
Advices from Bombay mention another
battle between tie British and Sikhs, in
which the latter were entirely defeated
From the 9th to the 18th there were con-
slant diminishing. The Sikhs retreated
10 the Chenab, which they were prevent
ed from crossing by the Bombay Division,
under General Whisk. On the 18th, the
two divisions of the British having effected
a junction, Lord Cough attacked them
near Ghazzerat. The victory was deci-
sive. The Sikhs fled, leaving their guns,
ammunition and camp equipage in poss-
ession OF the conquerors.
The Markets.
LIVERPOOL, April 1.-THE French funds
since the total defeat of Charles Albert,
have been well maintained.

sailing Of the Niagara, the cotton market
was dull, particularly for the lower and
