LATTER FROM EURopE
The adyces brou hit by the Asia are Of a highly
important chsracter he Gear has officially an
nounced to the Vienna cabinet his intention to with
draw his troops from Moldavia a. well as Walachia
a step no doubt dictated by the necessity Of re-
nforcing the forces engaged in he defence Of the
southern coast. Notwithstanding This announce.
ment, it is stated that Count Buol subsequently
changed rotes with the French and English en-.
voys, pied . Austria 10 concur with the coalition
in exacting 81 lartees from Russia for her
future abstinence RON aggression on the
rights of other Powers. As we have an
alysed the va,uc Of this new protocol in an
other column, it is unnecessary for rs to speak
further of it here than to add that by some OF the
leading Epglieh journals this fresh declaration Of
the views Of the Austrian Cabinet is not regarded
as by any confirming the sincerity Of it's poll
cy. The opinion is even openly expressed that the
evacuation Of Moldavia by the Russians is only
the latter from her engagements with the coalition.
Certain it is that the Austrian troops their way
to Gallicia, Bukovina and Transylvania have re.
ceived orders to halt for the present, fact follow
ing with suspicious promptitude on the official mott
fcation Of the Gear.
The allies are pushing forward with great activity
the military operations which they have been so
long meditating. Vast preparations are being made
for the invasion Of the Crimea, and it is said that
$500 French troops have succeeded in efecting
Judgment on the isthmus Of Perekop, which con.
meets the peninsula with the main land. We doubt
the correctness Of this statement, as it is hardly
possible that go small force could maintain itself
in such position liable it is to be attacked both
in front and rear. The object of the movement Is
to prevent Russian achievements from reaching
the Crmea From the Baltic, we learn, by way of
Dantzic, that 5000 French soldiers and 600 English
marines had been safely landed on the Island Of
Aland, and that Sir Charles Napier was to attack
Bomarsund on the day following this event.
From o statement which appears in the London
Times, it would seem that by treaty existing be-
tween the hudsons Bay Company and the Russian
government, and which took effect for limited num-
Der of years from the LIST of June, 1s40, Great
Britain has acquired sort of claim to the most
valuable part of the Russian coast and will there.
fore endeavor to put stop to the negotiations at
present pending for the sale of that territoryto the
United States.
Matters still wear troubled aspect in Spain.
Dissexsons are said to have sprung up between Es-
partero and ODonnell with regard to the measures
to be pursued towards the Queen Neither. Es-
partero endeayored to send her quietly out
of the country, but his intentions were frus-
trsted by the populace OF Madrid, who
stopped her carriage as she was about to leave
the capital, and insisted on her being tried by the
Cortes for her pecua.ions and other malpractices.
She is now nominaly under arrest, and unless she
succeeds in making her escape in disguise, it is GER
tain that she will be compelled to disgorge most of
the spoils which she has wrung from the Spanish
people. Her impeachment before the Cortes will
not tond strengthen tne throne OF ner daughter.
Royalty under such an aspect does not inspire much
respect or sympathy in the popular mind.
The Russian Emperor has lost one Of his well
wishers in the person of the King Of Saxony, who
has been killed by fall from his carriage.
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
A list Of the banks which have suspended, and
those considered doubtful, win be found in the
money article of this days paper. The Western
banks are all more or less unsafe, and any moment
dozens of them may suspend. There is no use
cautoning the public, If they will persist in taking
such stun. Itpeople will receive anything offered
in the shape Of bank bill, they must expect to be
losers occasionally and perhaps oftene-. There is
plenty of good money afoat, and there is no neces
sity for taking bills Of doubtful character. If
any of our readers should be so unfortunate as to
have some of the bills of those banks which have
already exploded, do not be in hurry about sell
ing them to the brokers' for the probability is that
as soon as the panic partially subsidies, they will
be redeemed at better prices.
COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.
Common to good State brands of -four were quite
scarce, and sales were again made at advance Of
rs cents per barrel. Extras continued firm at pre-
vious rates. Indian corn sold freely yesterday at
SIC. to SAC. for heated, and s5c. . S6c. for good
sound mixed.
The damage to the crops from the drought il
said to be confined chiefly TO the corn crop, as
wheat with other grain crops, had been mostly Sc
cured before it Set in. The scarcity Of breadstuf
in this market keeps up prices above current rates
in Liverpoo hence there is little or no disposition
to ship them, even at the present extraordinary low
rates Of freights. This state of things can only last
until the new wheat and -four reaches the market
in sufficient quantities to NEE, the demand and
equaze prices The stocks of old Indian corn
at the West are said to be large.
Cotton was inactive yesterday, and sales quite
light, while prices were said to be about the same.
For the season Of the year rather an active bust

in dry goods, foreign and domestic-chchy the for.

by importers, or by agents Of European mauufactu-

made at the spring sales, and fully twenty-five per
