European News.

Our dispatches yesterday appeared to play havoc
with the prospects ofwar-and the price owheat The
Turkish question Informed, is believed to he
amcaby settled but to the particulars of the
adjustment we have nothing further than the state
men that the PrincipateS rN be evacuated the first
week in September and after, the allied fleets
will leave the Turkish waters and that the Porte
had accepted without modification the proposals as
drawn upat Vienna The strongest evidence we have
for giving credencc to these reports is the accompa
nyng statement of decline in the price Of wheat at
Liverpool thou IN the French wheat crop said to be
only about two thirds of an average. The reports,
however, that the Turkish question settled would
be likely TO have that effect whether well.fodnded
or not
So many conflicting statements have been made
relative to the result of these Eastern difficulties that
confess ourselves unable to to any sstsiac~
tory conclusion to their termination, to place
much reliance in reports either side. Very
Gently, by the arrival of the America, we had C.
counts that looked decidedly bcgerant and indicated
the speedy commencement Of hostiliticS. So much
so that almost induced to apprehend
aS ccrdi7-and TO calculate upon two dollars bush
el for wheat equally certain. The former was by
means subject Of congrt tulaton for the sake of
war; but the necessary consequence was, at least two
dollars bushel for wheat consequence for which
we were not at all responsible on this side of the
ocean, and not to be deprecated.
"a more detailed report Of the news by the Arctic,
received since the publication of dispatches yes
terlay indicate that the danger of Euro, ean war
Is by means over.
