EUROPE.

The Asia arrived yesterday, bringing three days
adsices from Europe. The Russians are to retreat
entiIely from the Princpates, in order to protect
themselves in the Crimea, whittier the allied expedi-
ton has gore. The first care of the allies is ,st
force upon the narrow isthmus of Perecop, which
unites the peninsula to the main land. Ths ishmus
has the stsgnant waters of the Gulf of Karkinet on
the west and the marshes of Siwash or Putrii Sea
the east When the latter is oyerfowed, the "trip of
lend is only FIVE miles n width but in the dry
the waters disappear, leaving pestilent miasma,
while the marshy soil becomes pass1be for aud
horses. The surface OF the isthmus is plain being
a proonga,ion of the steppes OF southern Russia,
which continue through the whole northern part OF
the province. Natural defeDses there are noae ex-
cept tho narrowness of the land and not aware
that the Russians have any fortifcltioos there The
spot is the most unW holesOme in the Crnea, aud
the allied army must dwiDdle before its perncious
Influences. The entire expedition is to consist of
10000 men, who by means of steam transports will
be on the spot long before the Russian reinforce
Dents be brought up. If the detachment at Per-
ecOp should prove able to keep these reenorcements
from entering the province, the besieging army at
SevastopOl can pursue its task with comparative
cuIity but we may be sure that the most powerful
army Russia can concentrate for the purpose Will at
once be directed to the relief Of the fortress.
In the Baltic the expedition to the Aand isles has
Effected landing, but the attack on BOmersuud had
not commenced when the last courier left. 1t Was,
however, not to be delayed beyond day more and
the next steamer will possibly inform us of the fall
of the place, though is possible its resistance may
prove more formidable than the allies to expect
From the same quarter We hear of an interview be-
tween the kings of Sweden and Denmark, under aus
pices which render unlikely the accession of either
the western league; but without permission to use
the Danish harbors the allies cannot remain in the
Baltic during the winter, aud without aid fro Swe
den they cannot reap any positive advantage from
the capture OF BUmersund, undertake any further
operations against the Russian Baltic provinces.
