New YORK, April 18th, P. M.
The steamship Hermann, arrived at
this port to-day, bringing two days later
intelligence from all parts of Europe, hav-
ing sailed from Southampton on the even
of the goth of March, The Hermann
brought one hundred and twenty-six pas
sengers, and much valuable freight. The
news from the Continent of Europe is
highly important, and it will cause the
arrival of the next Liverpool steamer,
which sailed on the 7th inst to be looked
for with the greatest interest.
All efforts used by the Governments of
France and Great Britain, to renew the
armistice between Sardinia and Austria,
had failed, and hostilities would therefore
re-commence, and be carried on with
great vigor on both sides. Although Eu-
ropean sympathies were strongly enlisted
on the side of the Italian cause, yet it
was generally feared that Charles Albert
would be beaten by his powerful enemy,
who number ten thousand strong. A di-
rect attack on Turin was medilated.
The French Government received tele-
graphic dispatches announcing the arrival
of the Sandman army at Tecinno, on the
goth, in three divisions. On the 21st the
Austrian army passed the same river, and
experienced some resistance. ltwas sup
posed King Charles Albert would be
forced across, and great battle would
be fought on the plains of VerceIli The
French expedition of twelve thousand
men was ready to sail at moments
notice, should the Austrians set foot in
the Pontifcal States.
Latest accounts from Hungary state
that the Imperialists were not making
much headway against the Niagara, as
success latterly crowned the last men
toned. The Austrians were several
times beaten
The proposal to appoint the Emperor
of Russia Emperor of Germany was re-
jected by the Frankfort Parliament.
The King of Naples finds it exceeding
ly difficult to maintain a throne. A for
midable insurrectiOn was about taking
place at Calabria
The returns of the Bank of France
were not quite so favorable to trade as
anticipated, as fears were still entertained
of the RovaIists and Communists Great
military preparations were being made to
preserve peace
The speech of Lord Aberdeen, in the
House of Lords, relative to European af-
fairs, produced good effect.
At the Paris Bourse three per cents
were 52f 70, and five per cents S2f 80.
The market up to the latest moment
exhibited very little change The last
quotations were 90 IA. The produce
markets continued dull.
At Liverpool, on the oath, $500 bales
Cotton sold at firm prices.
At Havre there was slight reaction
in the Cotton market in consequence of
the Europa's advices.
Business in the French manufacturing
towns was improving and an active spring
trade was anticipated.
A change in the French Ministry was
expected.
The amount of gold received by the
various mercantile houses in London,
from California, exceeded forty thousand
pounds sterling.
The National Intelligencer has the
following just comments on the never
ending cry of the Union upon proscrip
ton:
REMOVALS FROM OFFICE con-
ceive the public to be generally so capa-
BILE of placing true value upon all the
railing of predetermined, avowed and
wright or wrong opposition, that we have
considered it necessary to notice very few
of the score of squibs and crackers which
our neighbor the Union daily lets off
against the new Administration, especi-
ally those on the subject of what it is
pleased to term prescriptions TO our
own sense of what is due to the rights of
the citizen and the decencies of Govern
ment, nothing in the long catalogue of
abuses which fill the history of the last
twenty years, has ever struck US as so Of
fensive and revolving as the ruthless pro-
scription with which those individuals
were visited, who dared to entertain an
opinion--no matter whether expressed or
not-adverse to the administration and
we did suppose, if there was one feature
which would be more indelibly impressed
than another ON the history of fthat nlnnnu
