LATER FROM EUROPE.

The news received by the Baltic from the sea.
Of war in Europe adds but little t, the facts pre-.
viously announced. The invasion OF the Crimea
seems now to be defnitiveiy decided upon, and if
We are 10 credit the last telegraphic despat hes
Rom the East, the embarkation of troops for that
Destination has already commenced. 1t is stated
that On the 2lst of July the light division of the
British army, under General Brown, and the divi
sion Of the French army under General Canrobert
had sailed from yarna for the Crimean coes., and
Although some doubt seems to exist as to the cor
richness of this intelligence, 1t regards rather the
date Of their departure than the fact ITSELF To
st the large force which Is to effect this operation,
II Is said that the Russians have st present
IN the Crimea only seventy Thousand men, exclu-
ave Of the marines and dock yard battslions at pre-
sent in Sebsstopo 1t is true, as stated in the Lon
don Hyncs, that in the absence Of communication
by see vas. extent Of steppes and marshes has to
be reversed before additional renforcements can
be brought from the interior of Russia; but it vust
not be forgotten that, Sebastarol is confess

sion of the Russian land and even of the gar
xison itself will be available for the defence Of the
coast. II now remains TO be seen whethe. igk ting
for the defence tf their own territory, aad freed
from the embarrassment arising from the hostile
feeling Of the population of the Prini rlities,
rs well SO the doubtful attitude Of Austria,
the Russians will exhibit that bravery and
determination upon which the Gar seems comb
IDENTIFY to rely. If be loses the Cfimea there is no
doubt that great blow and Encouragement will be
Efictedsn his cause, and we may, the cfore, anti
cipate q resistance propo-tioned to theE,agnitude
and importance of the interests at stake. The
struggle will, in any case, be desperate and bloody
one; and il Is fearful to reflect on the amount Of
and misery that is certain to result from the
operations OF the next dew months The campaign
IN the Crimea promises TO surpass n the novelty Of
ia joint operations by land and sea, and in the
difficult and sanguina,y character Of its de-
tails, any similar attempt at invasion recorded
IN history. We believe, however, thet more in,-
portanee Is attached to she success of this opera
hon by tho allies than it really deserves. Ad-
hitting that the Crmea should fall into their hands
ahey viii nf themssapee but little advanced in their
main object. They mnst then either carry the war
into the interior of Rcssia continue the system
Of blockade for IN inssrminsble period. If they
should fail in this attesp- who will venture to
my that sushCn event Ia improbaAe-their defeat
win exercise . fatal in6asace on discovering po-
hey ef the courts that saye hitherto held aloof,
and nsy even lead to The proximate rupture Of the
Coalition itself.
In the meanwhile AustrsS continues to play Che
same subtle and sdroit game which shehas hitherto
- cunnssgls pursued EreU step that she makes
sowArjs lie fulflnant Of her engagements with the
aIies is guarded By precautions which are evident
~ intended to protest her roteat in tho. event of
tosr arms growing pnsucceszxl. 1t Is ROW stated
that not only have tie Turks 20! entered Bucharest,
hut that sheywill refrain from doing So IN conse
xuence OF an ssreemest entered into to that effect
between the AUSTRIAN envoy and the Porte. II is
<arther stipulated that The Turk1 are to be with.
drawn hom tie Danube Gn the arrival OF tie Aus
tyAns, and that Nallachis 70 not to be made the,
theatre Of military operations. The London Daily
NNcs seems to thilk that with snch evident iaten
lions on the part OF Austria 60 consult her interests
asone It is foolish the past OF the coalition TO
make any grest sacrifices to secure the Crimea.
vbsre their movements win be checked and para
Esed by the dspiicity Of the Austrian government.
II y Of opinion that szRat blow should b. frat

BY no cosnserscti1g infuccce There is some force
in this idea.
TO show Ahe inenciency Of the Adairals to whom
che oommazd of the allied Asets in the Black Sea
has been entrusted, we may mention that three
Turkish merchantmen have been burnt ct anchor In
she har0or Of Reracien by RUSSIAN steamer, and
that the pritish war steamer Cyclops was even
chased near the posphorus BY the Vladimir, which
