New York, Dec, G.-The Eurap1, from
Liverpool, about IL O'Clock on the 18th, ar
rived this morning. Has tx 2prienced hea-
w weather. The Steamship Glasgow arr
rived out on the 18th. The news from the
seat Of war is very contradictory. Reports
of Turkish and Russian defeats are about
equally balanced. There is no possibility
Of ascertaining the truth. 1t seems most
probable that no decisive action has been
fought since the last advices. The Turkish
detachment of Oltenetzn had destroyed the
works there, and retired back across the
Danube. Nothing more recent known
from the Principalities. All previous sue
cesses of the Ta, ks in Europe and Asia are
confirmed.
The Sultan off cially announces that he
will himself take the field at the head Of his
Army in the Spring. A new note is said to
be proposed. Neither the Gear nor Sultan
will listen to it. The course that Britain
will take is kept secret. A direct French
correspondent says that Napoleon is %collec-
ting troops between Strawsburg and Mar
settles, SO that he can send off in less than
FIVE days. if necessary, 100 900 men for for
eign service,
The reports that the troops had re-crossed
the Danube at all points except Ka lafat,
which they still retain and have strongly
fortified is confirmed. From Hermonstar
they retired without battle. Some grand
movement is in contemplation which the
passage of the Danube has, in the mean time
served to mask.
France has formally announced to Aus
tria that if she gives refuge to armed Rus
SLAMS fetreating from the Turks, France will
regard it as a declaration Of war.
M.Dromyn De La Huys..has replied to the
circular of Count Nesslerode, He retorts
that il, as Nicholas says, he has nc wish TO
subvert the integrity of Turkey or the sov-
ercign rights of the Sultan, the peace OF
Europe cannot be hazzarded by the French
interfering, inasmuch as France only inter
feres in behalf Of the said integrity and sov-
ereign rights.
Vienna letters of the evening Of the 18th,
state that the Turks had attacked Gallarty
and Braid. Former advices mention that
they were moving on those places.
The Russians are sending their sick and
wounded to Kirchenan; the Hospitals OF
Wallachia andMolderia being insufficient to
contain them. Some Of the Southern pa.
pers have been selling extras with this head

Twenty thousand British troops at Malta
and a hundrad thousand somewhere else.
These remarkable incidents were public

The mails to hand at Liverpool on the
morning Of the Europa sailing, would iudi'
cate that there had been a good deal flight
ing wherever the two posts Of the army
came in contract, but without any result o
Importance. Reinforcements were hurry
ing to the Russians, and additional DEGREES
continued to arrive at tho Turkish camps
If the season will permit Operations Of mag
nitude, both parties will soon be In a posi-
ton to carry them out. A general attaci
is 10 be made immediate on the Russian ar
my, which being much extended, is quit
vulnerable. The Island opposite Guisgoi
has been the scene of severe contests. /
has been taken and re-taken several time
by both sides, aud at present remains in III
hands OF the Turks.
