The steamer Arctic reached New
York on tie Esd. The news is more
war-like thEn the last arrival, yet Eng
land and France don't seem to think
there is much danger:
Nesselrode, the Russian Minister, has
issued a new circular, more impudent
than the last, claiming that as Russia
occupies the Principalities, it becomes
the duty of the French and English
fleets to occupy the Turkish waters,
and hints rather clearly that the Rus

4Sjs note has partially opened the
ewes Of the European public, who now
see the necessity Of bringing matters
to settlement, Russia's object being
merely to gain time. and Fender her
position impregnable, Scarcely admit
ting of the possibility of a war, and
public opinion now begins to press for
something decisive.
The public have been continually
amused by dispatches of a pacific
tendency, the latest implying that
France and England had forwarded to
st. Petersburg a moderate note, pro-
posing that concessions be made on both
sides to end the matter. An answer to
this note is expected in week from the
1lth inst, and until it is received al is
mere guess work.
Itis stated that the Porte is-about
publishing proclamation, setting forth
all the injustice received from Russia
for the last hundred years.
The Divan of Moldavia met at Jassey
on the 9th ult., and its first act was
the passage of an address of devotion to
the Gar.
Anarmy of 10000 Russians occupy
the Principalities, and the contracts for
rations have been concluded for nine
months.
The Paris Bourse keeps pretty firm;
a good sign.
The plot against Napoleon's life at
the opera was more serious than was at
first reported. AT the trial of those
arrested, it was found that conspiracy
to take the life of the Emperor did
really exist.
A dispatch in the London Times,
under date of the 18th, says the French
Minister of War has addressed the
President of the Chamber of Com
merce at Nantz in the following:
eve are not bent on making war,
but if the Emperor, to whom the honor
of his Government is dearer than all,
should think the national honor exacts
war, he will certainly not recoil from
the necessity"
The steamer Asia with Liverpool
dates to the 10th arrived at New York
on the 98th ult. The following en-
braces all the news.
The London Times has the following:
"PARIs, July 12, P. M.-The Ex-
change was animated till near the close,
when panic arose, in consequence of
a rumor that admiral Bruat's feet had
been ordered to the Baltic"
The income from the indirect taxes
and revenue, during the first half of
the year 1858, in France, exceeds the
income for the same period last year
twenty-five millions francs.
The news from the Danubian provin-
ces and from Odessa is very dishearten-
ing. Trade was daily becoming more
stagnant. A letter from a Russian of
fcer at Jassey, says that the army would
pass the winter in the principalities, and
the officers were sending for their wives
and families.
Advices from Vienna, under date of
the 18th, says the Russian question
may now be regarded as settled.
CoMMERcIAL.-Flour at Liverpool
had recovered from the decline reported
by the Arctic, and the demand was
good.
Corn was unchanged and frm.-
Western Canal Flour is quoted at 27s,
and Ohio at 27s cd. Lard was only in
moderate demand, and prices were in
favor of buyers. Sugar was dull and
dropping. Rice was in good demand
at very full prices. All kinds of Coffee
had slightly advanced. Beef was un-
changed. Pork and Bacon were in
moderate request.
