Imnortant from Eurone.

The Baltic at New York, brings the impor
tant Intelligence OF the consent of Nicholas to
evacuate the Turkish territories on the de-
mand OF Austria and the actual retreat Of his
army from Wallachia, Giurgevo, and Slis-
tria, to the other side Of the Pruth. The Lon
don Times states that this movement brings
the allied powers to the most important crisis
which has yet marked the progress Of the
war. The London Times remarks On this
new movement as follows
" The concession Of the Emperor Nicholas
is an offer to buy of the alliance Of the Ger
man powers on any terms, because he is aware
that the resistance of his empire and his army
TO the four principal states Of Europe is inn
possible, and that, if he is TO oppose more
prolonged opposition to England and France,
IT can only be by satisfying the demands Of
Austria and Prussia. If. indeed. that sails
faction loere sincere and complete, IL nlioht be-
come the basis Of the lasting and honorable peace
l0hlch lUe all desire, but we must Be allowed
TO suspect that in attempting to concliate the
German powers the object of the Emperor
Nicholas i only to carry on the war against
the western powers with greater activity. and
perhaps eventually to engage Austria and
Prussia on his side the contest These are
the causes which give an intense interest To
this stage OF these events, and may render il
the turning point in the affairs of Europe"
The question that will now be in every
mouth will be, will this step Of the car re-
store peacel The London Times has an i'm
portant article on the Goth, which is re-af-
frmed on the 9th. This journal says
While negotiations were pending, and
any hope of peace remained, this Journal per-
severed in a course Of great fOrHearance and
moderation, which our adyersaries attempted
to msrepresent TO our disadvantage; but, as
we replied at the time, although we were the
last to urge this country into hostilites. we
shall also be the last to withdraw from those
hostilities until we have obtained complete
satisfaction of our just demands. The only
road To peace now il the energetic and tri-
umPhant prosecution OF the war. There may
be an infinite variety OF reasons for not going
70 war at all, and for avoiding altogether, if
possible, contest so onerous while it lasts,
and so hazardous in its effects upon the polit-
zeal relations of the world. But no reasons
are OF avail to show that once engaged in war
we are not to carry it on to the extremity Of
success by Wrestling from the enemy the means
OF renewing such a quarrel. After what has
happened lhe existence on the ottoman en-
pire 9nd the independence of the east require
a total revision Of the former treaties between
Russia and the Porte, under the control Of the
other powers Of Europe, the free navigation
of the Danube, with security for the clearance
Of the bar or the construction Of a ship canal
across the Dobrudscha, the destruction Of the
exclusive naval ascendency of Russia in the
Black Sea, and the independence, which we
have now recognized, Of the Circassian coast
In comparison With these points, which have
arisen out of the original dispute, and are now
inseparably connected with it, the mere eyac-
uation Of the principalities i temporary
question, which may be left to the German
powers, who cannot allow the Danube and its
tributaries to be incorporated in the Russian
empire. But TO exact from Russia the four
articles we have just mentioned, is to dimin-
ish on four important points the position she
occupied before the war, and no one can antic-
pate that she will give way on these points
except upon compulsion."
These are the views announced by Lord
Lyndhurst, endorsed by the earl Of Clarendon,
and on which the British government are pre-
pared TO act.
