The steamer Europa arrived at New
Work On the 18Th. with three days later
news from Europe.
The cause of the expulsion ofthe Greeks
from Constantinople was the discovery of
conspiracy to murder the Turkish p1p-
ula!ion.
Twelve Polish officers have been shot
near Eucharist, charged with intended de-
sertiOn.
The WAR.-Thc war news is important
The allied fleets have bonn barded the Rus
sion forts AT the Sulina the mouth of the
Danube. The details and the result of
the bombardment is not known.
An important battle was fought on the
25Lh. between the Turks and the Greek
insurgents. The Turns took Aria bv
storm in fifty minutes, and great sIaugh.
ter ensued The Greeks were lei by
Karais Kakis and SeveIas. The Creek
leader. Giovas. had fed. Except the P :
racus. all the coast OF Greece is closely
bockaded by the allies.
On the 18th. battle occurred between
the Turks and MOnlenegrius At NichSlck
Tie latter were commanded by their
Wonole. George PetrOrch. Ho>lilities
have fairly commenced, and it was report
ed that Austria will occupy the province
A letter from DobruIscha, Of the l7Lh,
says:
"Deserters who arrived here from the
Russian army state that the Danube had
overhowed its bank. and carried away all
the bridges. Communication with the
south bank Of the Danube had been en-
tireIy cut off. The Russians numbered
10000 men, and they lost in passing the
river 4,OOO. The place on which they
are encamped, is marshy, and hundreds
die daily.
AdviGes from GaIaz to the 18th say
that Russian vessel, permitted the few
English vessels in that port to leave
The Consuls of England and France had
received notice to leave wRhin eight
days.
1t was reported that the Marshal Ra.
detsky had said to the Duke of Cambridge
on his late visit to Vienna, that the
Russians must evacuate the Princi-
palities. and il they cannot be got out by
fair means they must be got out by
force.
The Russians had abandoned the siege
Of Silstria.
Tho success of the Turks near Czerna-
voda was confirmed.
The number of Russian merchant vess-
els already captured by English men of

been about twenty -6ve. besides seven ar
eight destroyed. A greater aumber Of

IMPROVEMENT IN SAILoRs.-The U. S.
ship jamestown, soon after her arrival,
gave liberty TO the seamen to go ON shore,
until the order arrived 10 pay them off,
which was done on Friday and Saturday.
They all presented themselves in full Gil :
Zens dress not a man was drunk, they
were orderly respectable, clean, and
many OF them were paid off with a good
round sum IN gold. They are stopping at
respectable trVerns and boarding houses,
and are we'll treated, and pay their way.
The improvement visible in the sailors
habit and character, and particularly in
the man of wars men is owing 10 many
causes but the chief one is the abolition
of hogging in the navy, which has tended
TO elevate the character of the service.

AN ERROR CoRRECrED.-Ouru usually
correct friend OF the Chambersburg Re-
positOry has fallen into the common error
that Post Masters are allowed 70 COM
pensatiOn on papers printed in the county
in which they reside. On the contrary,
they are entitled 10 more for distributing
their own county papers than Tor the
mammoth wGeklies but one half of them
are not aware of that fact. For instance,
the postage on weekly pa, er published
in the State, not exceeding one and a
hatt.ounces in weight, is Is cents per
annUm. payable quarterly in advance.
Fifty per cent. or + j cents of this goes to
the Post Master. On county papers, they
are allowed two mills, each, from the De
Partment making tor each paper lO4 mills,
or ten cents and over, per year, being full
y one third more than they derive from
those papers in whose behalf they inter-
est themselves in getting up clubs, sc.
A great many Post Masters, aud we may
add great many editors do not know
that this is the law. We think the latter
would only be doing themselves justice TO
place The matter before he Post Masters
and show them the advantage to be de-
rived from working for their own county

By letters received on Monday from the
Baltic it is stated that the blockade of the
Russian and Finnish coasts has already
been felt by several neutral vessels.
Prussia has forbidden priyateers to en-
ter her harbors.
The news of,Prussia having signed the
last protocol, IL is said. produced great
detection in the mind of the Gear.
Prince Napoleon arrived at SYRIA on
the Goth. but set out again the same day
for Constantinople.
II is said that the French government
contemplates establishing camp of co.
600 men near Boulogne, with view to an
expedition to the Baltic, if required.
II is again positively stated that the
French contingent to the army Of the East
will amount to 100000 men. Il appears
that the orders given by the Emperor of
Russia were for the Russian army the
moment it entered the Dobrudscha to
march on without delay to Shumla, and
strike the blow before the allies could
come up. 1t had not been anticipated
that the Turks could arrest their progress.

The WHEEL1Ha BR1oGE Blows DowR.
we learn that a terrible storm Of rain,
accompanied with thunder, and lightning
and very powerful wind amounting al
most to hurricane, passed over that city
and vicinity on Wednesday last. During
its prevalence the celebrated Wire Sus-
pension Bridge across the Ohio, was COM
pletely blown down, and now lies mass
of ruins in the river. bottom upwards
The strong cables and wire cords were
twisted and broken as though they were
mere threads, and the entire structure
hurled at a single blast from its strong
foundation. The abutments sustained
only slight injury. Fortunately, and al
most miraculously. no lives were lost
There was no person on the bridge at the
time and no boats near in the river. Navi-
CATION has been DISTRACTED by the bridge,
and will be until it can be removed-eff
orts are now making. It's said that most
of the cables will serve to put up again
The citizens deeply regret this accident,
as will not only cost heavily to build the
bridge. but interrupt business. and be a
sad inconvenience until replaced.
The storm was very severe in the sur.
rounding neighborhood. though doing no
great damage.
