EUrOpr;l,l News.

lhe news from Europe by the last
Steamer is OF an exciting character. The
game-of war has commenced in earnest
and blood and carnage, rapine, murder,
desolat"n and misery its accompanyments.
By the arrival ofthe Atlantic we learn that
part of the allied fleet had bon,barded
the Russian town of Odessa, situated or
The northeast coast Of the Black Sea. The
attack however, under the direction of Ad.
miral Dundos, seems TO have been bum
elcd affair, Of which the English are by
no means proud. The prospect of a war
between Spain and the United States.
growing out Of tho Black Warrior affair,
is brought nearer by tho advices of this
Steamer. Ofthe result of such a contest
the Madrid correspondent of the London
Tunes says:
"To any but Spaniards there can scarce
ly be shadow of doubt as to the face of
Cuba in case OF war between Spain and
The U. States, snpposing, Of course, non in
lcrierence OH the part Of any powerful ally
OF the former country. At the same time
America would not escape undalnnged in
a conflict with this comparatively feeble
country. Tie ocean would be quickly
covered with privateers under Spanish
colors, and American commerce would
suffer greatly. And at the last moment,
when all hope was lost, fully believe that
spain would emanc; pate the slaves ind
abandon the Island to them sooner t.an
see lts darling possesson--the "Queen of
the Antilles" tall all easy prey and flour
Ishlng possession INTO the hands OF the am.
bltlous and encroach'ng Republic, winch
gives it SO murl, uneasiness."
