the European News by the Baltic.

The steamship Baltic, which arrived at this port
ay morning, brings us four days later In
teIligence from Europe, Of which digest will be
found in our columns this morning.
The supposed critical position OF the island Of
Cuba has attracted the most profound attention Of
the diplomats of Spain, France, and G'eat Br-
tain 1t has been suggested tha, copjoint repre-
sentation to the United States government fromtae
three powers, might be useful in keeping Presi'
dent Fillmore up to the mark of our lawful
obligations of neutrality; and, furthermore, that
these piratical designs upon Cuba con-
tinue to be covertly fomented within our borders,
triple alliance, often sive and defensive between
Spain, England, and France, ought to be entered
into for the preservation of the rights Of Spain.
Upon this subject-ths whole subject, the observe
tions Of the London Morning Civontcle exhibit .
much greater amount Of com non sense and COM
mon sagacity than rumor attributes TO the ca5i-
nets Of either Spain, France, or Great Britain. A
joint committee of special ambassadors to Wash
ington to enforce upon the administration treaty
obligations with Spain, will be worse than anuni-
tion wasted. No such insult TO the American
sovernme Mt would be tolerated for moment, ex-
eept at the hazard of q withering popular con-
dennation. Whatever may be the dangers to
Cuba from the alleged schemes of annexa-
tionists, the government of the United States
is able to vindicate itself ard TO maintain its inter
national obligations. Nor can it recognise for q
moment, the jursdi,ton of any European alliance
whatever, in debating its policy or its duties in
ference to the island Of Cuba. Clear Of entanging
continental schemes for regulating the balance Of
power, the govern nent Of the United States is Just
in that independent position which viii admit of no
pretensit ms towards making it party to European
arrangements. They must adapt their policy to
eurs-that submit to theirs, is altogether out
of the question. The peace of the world is an i'm
portant consideration; but the United States can
and will, ifrequred, maintain their independence at
eli hazards, ard against all European alliances.
The London Chro~iols supposes that England
better understands her interests than to engage
IN any coercive association in respect to Cuba. We
concur in this opinion. Nor does the position Of
France admit of any possible apprehension Of .
beli yerent attitsde against US, whatever the pro-
vocstions to interfere. Our government has to
deal with Spain; and our policy heretofore, will
be frank, straight forward, and to the purpose,
matter what may be the destiny Of Cuba.
Affairs upon The contine nt-especisly in France
appear to be ripening rapidly for revolution. There
was to be kingy conference in Italy, to quiet the
people as far rs possible by surocaton, and to up
hold the ricke,y system of Austria, to which the
Pope, in his helplessness, seems to have fallen a
hopeless victim.
Russia, inch by inch, with perseverance which,
though often frustrated is never exhausted Is ex-
tending her military operations towards the heart
Of Asia; and will, doubtless, awaken the jsalousy
Of England in that quarter, before aany years are
pact.
The gold discoveries in Australia had created
regular California farore in England. Commercial
Affairs in statH qao. To some Of these subjects
shall re ;ur more elaborately hereafter.
