LATER FROM EUROPE.
There is scarcely prominent feature in the news
brought by the Arabia. No arrival that we have as
yea had since the commencement of the war has
been more barren Of interest. Austria and Prussia
nEe stated to have agreed in the main on the an
swer to be returned to the last Russian note, al.
though some minor points still remained unsettled
In their joint reply, which to be addressed to
Count Esterhagy, the two governments concur in
asserting that the occupation Of the Princpaises is
Inconsistent with the integrity Of the Ottoman En-.
PIKE, and that the propositions Of the Gear cannot
be taken into consideration until the Princpalities
ere evacuated. We cannot, Of course, attech i'm.
phcit credit 80 this statement, in the face Of the
contradictions which every mail brings to some
pEeviodsly asserted fact We question much If
Prussia has been prevailed upon to commit herself

his Intentions regards the Principalites such an
answer on the part Of Prussia would be tantemount

condition laii.down in ia step which We know
well that she hes neither the inclination nor the
purpose to take. In the meanwhile the
immediate entry OF the Austrians into the
Municipalities, would seem to have been for.

French troops concentrated at yarna, whose only
occupation is to curse the policy that consigns
them to such siakeniRg inactivity. Amongst the
English portion Of the torce the beard question has
occasionei some little excitement. The orders is
sued from headquarters on this important point of
discipline are as contradictory as they are childish
il win scarcely be believed that in the Adjntant
Gener ais instructions the precise measure Of sol,
ier's beard or rather of the part of his chin that
he is directed to shave. is laid down by foot rule.
After this it would not be surprising il the Eastern
war we're to degenerate into broad fare.
We have as yet no clue to the views of Espartero
rs regards the measures necessary to be taken in
the present critical state Of Spanish Affairs. Ii was
thought significant that in his proclamation to the
people Of Saragosss, which we publish elsewhere,
be should have carefully avoided all mention of the

ahnsiasm OF the Inhabitants of the capital in his
favor was only to be equalled by the ardor and fry
with which they fought against the Queens troops.
One of our pondents writing from Paris states
that gentleman who had just arrived from Madrid,

There are some curious stories aloat with regard
70 the death Of Abbas Pacha, the Egyptian Ficeroy
They are only sNghtly alluded TO in of the Eng
ish journals, but from late advices which we have
received from Alexandria we arc enabled to give
some fuller details as to the event. His death
not only suspiciously sudden but attended with
circumstances which affaid strong grounds for be-
heying that he was poisoned. He bad retired 10
res, in his usual good health and was found dead la
his bed next morning. The two Mamelukcs who
usually sept in bis apartment had fed, aud have
not been since heard Of. The news was not made
pubic for more than twenty -four hours Afterwards
and then the body was buried undsr an unusually
strong Escort Of soldiers. Said Pacha, his successo
is spoken OF as man Of great abilities, and is ex.
tremely popular with all classes OF his subjects.
