Arrival of the Humboldt.
FOUR Days LATER FROM EUROPE,


New YORK, August 15.-The steamer
Humboldt arrived this evening from
Southampton and Havre, bringing 1876
passengers and Liverpool dates of the Sd
inst. The America arrived at Liverpool
on the 31st ult., and the Glasgow at
Greenock on the Both ult.
Among the Humboldt's passengers is
S. G. Goodrich, late Consul at Paris.
ENGLAND.
A Frenchman named Edouard Reynaud
has been arrested at Southampton on the
charge of having conspired with others to
murder the French Emperor. He was
taken to London for examination.
The Egyptian fleet arrived at Ccnstan-
tinople on the 10Th, with $4,000 men,
Admiral Dundas, Of the English feet,
with all his captains, had been on recon-
noisance of the fortresses.
Another ministerial crisis was feared
at Constantinople.
There was rumor in Vienna of Sc
cret treaty between the United States and
the Porte, and the probable cession of
Marmazizzen. Three American frigates
were said to be in the Bosphorus.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The Eastern question wears less ia
vorable aspect. 1t was feared that the
Emperor of Russia would decline to with
draw his forces from the Principalities as
stipulated in the propositions of the three
Powers-the English and French fleets
would in that case be ordered to pass the
Dardanelles, and peaceful settlement of
the dispute greatly .jeoparded.
A Geographic despatch dated Constan-
tinople, July Goth, states that the Porte
and the representatives of the Great Pow
ers had accepted the proposition of the
Austrian minister, which arranged that
the English and French fleets should
withdraw from Besca Bay, whilst the
Russians evacuated the Principalitics.
Turkey would then send an ambassador
to open negotiations at st. Petersburgh.
Conferences were also to be opened at Vi
emma by the consent of Russia.
A decline in the funds has been caused
at London and Paris by an article in the
ConStatutiOneHe declaring that France and
England would not consent to the ar
rangement which had been proposed at
Constantinople. Great uneasiness had
also been created by decree of the Gar
ordering fresh levy of recruits through
out the Empire. This was interpreted as
looking to war.
Inc statement Is re-aSscrted that the
United States had offered to assist the
Porte with money and active forces.
The intelligence from the Principalities
was important. Moldayia had declared
ittelf independent of the Porte and re-
fused to pay further tribute. A similar
movement is expected at Wallachia.
1t is asserted that the Porte intends
addressing an ultimatum to Russia. in
which, after paying due regard to the
rights of the Sultan's Christian subjects.
that sovereign declares that if, in spite of
these repeated assurances, the Car should
persist IN offering war, the Porte is resov-
ed to accept it; but that the responsibility
must lie with Russia. 1t is also asserted
that this document has been communica-
ted to the ambassadors of France and
England. Orders have been sent to the
Hospodars of Moldavia and Wallachia,
ordering them to quit the Principalities
and retire to the right bank of the Dan
ube.
Russia had demanded of Persia the
cession of the province of Tauris in lieu
of the SO,0OO,000 rubles due her.
