ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPAwlTH LATER
NEWS FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Europa arrived at New
York on Saturday afternoon last. afte
the Star had gone to press. She bring
two days later news, the full details o
which are given in the morning pa
pers. The news by this arrival, though
interesting. does not present any feature
OF special Importance. No answer had
been received from the Gar to the Anglo
French ultimatum, and the London Times
announces by telegraph from Vienna
that it is not his intention to make any
reply to it. This Of course would imply
its rejection in the most offensive form
and indicates that the Gar is prepared
to accept the alternative of war offered
Russia has consented to recognise the
neutrality of Sweden. Austria is actino
with the Western Powers but not in a
very decided way, ard doubts of her good
faith are still entertained. zga+ h1a
The Prussian people were petitionipe
their Government to join the alliance
against Russia, but it still maintains its
position of neutrality, The Paris Moni.
teur semi-officially announces that the
Gar, after his failure to obtain the con-
sent of England to the partition of Tur.
key had made substantially the same
propositions to France. These deyelon-
ments have strengthened the union OF
france and England. Beyond some
slight skirmishes, in which the Turks
were successful, no active operations had
taken place either in the Provinces or
Asia. Two English and two French men,
of-war had departed from Beycos to force
the mouth of the Danube, which the Rus
slams were reported to be closing, and the
first blow by the allies would probably
be struck there.
The war had produced an apparently
settled dizziness in the European markets.

his letter of Friday last saws:

W Our baltimore correspondent In
his letter of Friday last says:
"There have been some rumors of i'm
portant removals contemplated in the
Custom-house, from which the ueru head
may not escape decapitation.
We have every reason to believe that
there is no truth in these rumors. We
know that the most friendly relations ex-
list between the Executive and the Col.
lector of the port of Baltimore, who is a
high toned gentleman as we'll as most
excellent officer: and that the best feeling
is exhibited between the collector and his
subordinates. We are at loss to account
for the report of our correspondent; had

The NEBRASKA BILL IN New HAMp.
snIRE.--The New Hampshire Gazette, the
Oldest Democratic Journal in the State.
closes a long article upon the recent cleo
ton and the Nebraska bill as follows:
i. "The friends of the Nebraska bill need
fear nothing from full discussion of its
merits. Its principles will be yindicated
before the people 4! and we fully believe
that to them alone can we look for a ces-
sation of the abolition excitements, which
have been productive only of evil to the
country. The Democratic party will
take its high stand upon this great ma
tional question, and, as in past times,
when angry fanaticism has threatened it,
and sectional interests appealed in vain
for its support, it will be sustained by
the popular verdict Of the natnn.''
