Liter from Europe = TIE Turks Sill SIC
ceSstM.
The Asia arrived at New York on Dec.
10Th, bringing Liverpool dates to December
), 1858.
The news by the Asia has some points
Of Importance. Along the Danube militia
y operations on large scale were pre-
vented by unfavorable weather, but con-
tinual skrnishing was going on between
the outposts, of the two armies. In Asia
the success Of the Turks was uninterrupted.
They had captured some impo rtant fort
resSes. At sea hostiities have commenced,
and some vessels of both nations have
changed hands on the Euxine The Anglo
Fleet remains at its anchorage, doing
nothing. Russia and Turkey continue
their preparations for protracted war
meanwhile the di iplomatsts are busted in
arranging for new conference, to be
summoned at Vienna, Paris or London.
The London Daily Neacs has an editorial
stating Its belief that the Turkish fleet,
under Admiral Shade, had entered the
Black Sea with the bold intention of at
tacking Sebastopol. No one who knows
the courage of the Turks can doubt that
they would attempt it if appearances were
at all in their favor. The editorial points
out, from reliable sources, that Sabastopo,
although said by Russians 10 be impree-
nable, is in reality vulnerable even to a sea
attack. 1t would be crowning glory to
the cause of the Turks if the next mail
should bring intelligence that the Turkish
fleet had bombarded this pet stronghold of
the Russians.
1t was reported in Paris on November
30th, that project of a new conference to
be held at Vienna, Paris or London to
settle the Turkish difficulties definitely,
may now be accepted as positive. 1t was
furfher said that a new Russian note had
been addressed by Count Nesselrode to the
dipl omatic agents of Russia in France and

which would produce an interruption OF
international relations or complete rup-
ture between Russia and England, and
France. A new manifesto from the Gar
