ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

THREE Days LATER FROM EUROPE
New York, July 12.--The steamer Asia
reached her wharf on Wednesday evening,
bringing Liverpool dates to lst July.
PRoGRES OF TIE WAR.
The whole aspect of the war has undergone
an entire change, and it is difficult to foresce
what new applications may arise. Austria is
ready to march her army of 200 900 men into
the principaitics, thus intcrposng between
the combatants, and preventing further hos
tilitics there.
Austria has not yet received the Cars Of
fetal reply and cannot receive it before July
3rd, and-will not act dccsivcly until received.
The action of Austria is in accordance with
the convention between herself individually
and the Porte.
The whole Anglo-Frcnch force is now at
Varna, preparing, it is supposed, for the cx-
petition under St. Arnaud in person into
Crimca.
The whole Russian army of occupation is
falling back in good order, with all its stores,
into Scrcth and Pruth.
The garrisons of Ismail Gallatz, &C., are
already on the march to the Crimca, and all
disposablc force will Immediately follow, as
that is expected to be the next battle field.
Interesting debates have taken place in
Parliament on the fishery question and the
Canada elective council.
Capt. Pearson, of the ship Rose Standish,
died of his wounds received at the battle of
Shanghai, China.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The position Of Austria is looked upon by
England and France with great scrutiny and
caution. Many shrewd persons believe that
her object in taking possession of the Prnci-
palities is fully understood by Russia, and
that her ultimate object is TO aid the Emper-
or when n favorable opportunity arrives. This
fact has given decided concern to the allied
powers
The French papers deny that the Russians
evacuated the Principalities out ofin res.
pect for Austria, but that the Cav perfcrrcd
poaceable evacuation, to being driven out by
the combined forces of England and France.
The French and English had $4,000 troops
between Narna and Shumla.

For thee. Love! for thee, Love!
I'll brave Fate's sterncst storm
She cannot daunt or chill the heart
Which Love keeps bold and warm.
And when her clouds are blacklist, noGght
But thy sweet self see;
Nor hear amid the tempest, aught
But thee, Love only thee!
For thee, Love for thee, Love!
My fond heart would resign
The brightest cup that Pleasure fills,
And Fortunes wcalthicst mine.
For Pleasures smiles are vanity,
And Fortunes fade or flee;
There's Purity and Consistency
In thee, Love only thee!

A Word to the Democracy Of the Territory

Whilst our columns arc heavily loaded
down with the laws (thc result of the action
Of the recent logislature) so much 40 that
we can scarcely gel in word edge ways"
We would nevertheless take occasion to re-
mind the democracy that there will be an
other trial of strength between YOU aud the
opposition on the first Monday in September
next, and that meanwhile active prepara-
tions should be made 10 secure the success
Of our party. An organization in each pre-
cinct throughout the Territory is absolutely
important to secure such victory as would
be worthy the young Territory of Wash
ington.
It will moi do for the democracy 10 sleep
in supposed security in consequence Of the
victory achieved at the lale election. We
have now a secret and thorough whig or.
ganization TO contend against-whosc plans
have been matured, and whose mode of &C.
ton has been determined upon. Especially
in this county will the opposition carry on
the war with dealh-like desperation-aud
in view Of which, we hope that all unkind
political feeling, or unlriendly breaches
which may have occurred in our party here
will be at once healed up, that the democra-
cy may present an unbroken front on the
day of the election. Let each precinct
then determine al an early day upon its
delegates to attend county convention for
the nomination of democratic members Of
the legislature and other county officers.

Affairs in the Straits,

We took occasion few weeks ago 10 re-
fer 10 the disgraceful and insulting conduc
Of some of the suppliant tools Of the Hudson
Bay Company towards Col. Ebcy, Collector
of Customs for the District Of Puget Sound
whilst on a visit 10 the Island of San Juan
south Of the Straits Of Harro, in pursuance
Of the duties Of his official station. II will
be recOllected that Col. Ebey left an Inspect
or on the Island previous TO his departure
therefrom-thSt threats were made by the
Hudson Bay authorities that he should be
taken prisoner 10 Victoria, and that strong
fears were entertained that they had carried
their designs INTO execution. We take
pleasure in being able 10 inform our readers
that at the last accounts the American In
sPector was still at his post in the discharge
of his duties. An attempt was made, short
ly after the departure of Col. Ebey and
crew from the island, by possee of white
liVered slarcs Of Gov. Douglass, aud by his
written authority, TO arrest the aforesaid
Inspector (Capt. Webber) and take him be-
fore his august majesty. But it was soon as
certained that ii might cause them little
UneaSiaey 10 make a successful arrest, and
they consequently returned to Victoria, mo
doubt 10 report and receive fresh orders from
their MASTERY promising to "call again. -
Col. Ebey is at present in that direction,
and will see that the rights Of the American
government and of its citizens are respected.
We have a rod in pickle for the H. B. Co.,

use of it ere long.
