European Affairs.
The arrival Of the mail last night, brought by
The Niagara, supplies us with regular flee, and
all important intelligence from Europe. The
British press having received the intelligence oi
the fight of Lopez from Cardenas, comments upon
the affair, in its usual tone of naughty Indignation
fhough the journalists obliged to declare that
fhe press Of this country, generally, have treated
the whole Cuban invasion in proper spirit.
The political news is of more pacific
character, so far the dispute between the cabi.
nets Of Great Britain and France on the Greek
question is concerned. The apprehensions that the
difficulties between the latter powers would lead to
hostilities had subsidized, in consequence of its
having been placed beyond doubt that the British
cabinet, rather than push matters to the extremity
Ola war, was deieim mined to yield to the decided
superstition ii encountered the part of France and
Rnssia, in regard to Greece, and TO abandon al
togeiAer the position ii had assumed at first The
question was in process Of adjustment, and the
rerrls demanded by General Labiue had been
complied with on the par, of Lord Pamerston.
such, then, is the end Of this diplomatic quarrel.
iu which the British cabinet has manifested to the
world an inconsistency and weakness of action
and policy, which will aid very n,at.r;sriy in de-
~
on the ccatinent Of Europe. The fact, indeed,
nat Great Bnra,.. no lsnger possesses that degree
u weight and politicai influence in Europe by
means Of which she was once won't to dictate to
other European powers, could not have ben more
strkingly exhibited than by the deaoemsnt OF tins
Sspute in relation to Greece. The remonstrances
urged by Russia, il is well known, had induce3
Lord Pslmerston to change his policy on the
ereek question. The British cabinet thereby
plainly furnished the proof that is obliged to ask
Ahe advice THE Gar that, and on all questions
relating TO the politics OF the European continent
We kink this ispretty clear in the present state Of
things. The political power and influence Of Great
Britain in Europe, is fast gong to decay.
From Warsaw we learn Of the deliberations Of
the Diplomatic Congress, at which the Emperor
Nicholas himself presided. 1t is understood that
some decision has been come to in relation to the
affairs u Germany, and the settlement of the differ
snce between the German powers and Denmark.
The position Of Austria and Prussia has been dis
eussed and we are informed that the Car has de-
clared himself against the incorporation Of the
whole Of the former empire with Germany, while
be hse on the other hand, given his consent TO the
establishment Of the confederation Of States called
she Prussian Bund. This intelligence, which comes
frem reliable source is OF the greatest importance.
Austria, who, ever since she called in the sid Of
Russia to suppress the Hungarian revolution, has
lost her independent position among the great
powers Of Egrope, is at present nothing more than
the servant Of the former, and bound TO obey the
command Of the Car. The Russian intervention,
or rather the invasion Of the Cossacks in Western
Europe, has turned out one Of those great events
which has completely altered the position of affair."
IN Europe. Tie momentous consequences Of that
event have been the downfall of liberty, and the
iabliskmentof Russian supremacy on the European
sentiment, and the humiliation Of the most ancient
imperial house of Europe-that Of Hapsburg-by
Russia. We learn, that the Austrian minister.
Prince Of Schwarzenberp. has been treated by the
Emperor Of Russia, at Warsaw. in manner which
eccssioned him 10 leave there without awaiting
she end Of the deliberations. The Car, We hear,
iniimsted to the Austrian minister, in very de-
cided manner, that whatever course the Austrian
cabinet meant to pursue ON the German question,
ne would not approve Of one which was hostile to
Prussia; and that as TO war between the latter
and Austria. he would know how to prevent il.
The interviews between the Emperor Nicholas and
the Prince Of Prussia in the Polish capital are said
to have led to perfect understanding regard to
German affairs, and have gained for the plans
