The News.
By telegraph we have very complete synopsis of
Sbsee days later European intelligence brought to
Ha,,fax by the steamer America. Owing to the late
ness Of the hour 1t which the news received
ever the wires last night, we have only time to re-
mark that the Russo Turki-h question had again as
aned very serious aspect, although the Cars
answer to the proposition OF England France, &c.,
could not be known till the 10th or 18th inst That
nnssia is determined TO retain possession of the
Danuhian provinces there can be little doubt; but
whether the French and English fleets will advance
~ is threatened, remains to be ascertained. Both
the belbgerent nations continue their warlike
preparations, and a large number of French field
officers their way to join the Turkish cause.
Austria it is reported, is unwilling to profit by the
advice Of the Emperor of Russia to settle the Koszta
affair as easily as possible, but on the contrary is
determined to demand reparation from the United
States. The British Parliament had been engaged
n adjusting the colonial difficulties, and appointing
. new Governor for Jamaica. The cholera was
making sad havoc in Denmark. Persia and else
where. Further discoveries of conspiratory move.
nents among the higher classes had created con.
Siderable sensation in Italy. The Liverpool cotton

The statement that Col. Gadsden, our new Minis
Ser to Mexico had been instructed to consent to the
rehnquahneE4 Of the Garay claim to the right of
way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, is doubted
n well informed circles in Washington as is also the
assertion that this government is willing TO accept
as an equivalent free route for a railroad along the
thirty second parallel. The general impression is
that the administration will await the reception OF
the ucial information collected by the different par
hes engaged in exploring the country for railroad
route TO the Pacific, prior TO committing itself to
any particular line, either in our own or Mexican
territory.
Our special correspondent remarks that the official
Sespatches concerning the Ko,zta affair are be-
Keved to confirm the announcement already made in
tnese columns that the Austrian government had no
legal claim upon that person whatever. That coun-
try had expatrated, and thus cancelled all night to
Ais person. before he reached the United States. A
former decision Of the Prussian Minister furnishes an
excellent precedent for this view of the case.
The delay in establishing the United States Assay
Office in this city said TO be owing to the fact that

On the 10th inst, the special Washington cores
