FOUR DAYS
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Baltic.

Arrival of the Baltic.
The steamship Baltic, Capt Comstock, of
the Collins line from Liverpool, Aug. 8, ar
rived at New York on Saturday afternoon
about 4 O'clock
The intelligence from Great Britain, is not
of any moment.
The cotton market had experienced no
CHANGE breadstufs were again turn higher,
and there had been further slight advance
in the funds.
The WAR NEws.-From the Baltic, the
reports continue to be indefinite. The Lon
don papers Of the 9TH contain dispatches
which announce the occupation of the Aland
Islands, on the Sd, after cannonade of seven
hours.
A letter to the London Times, dated Led
sund, July 81, says. What we are to do with
the islands after gaining possession is polit-
ical question. 1t is pretty well understood
here to-day, that the King of Sweden will, at
present. have nothing to do with them unless
a very large force Of Anglo French is main
tanned here.
The PR1Nc1PALITIEs.- despatch from
. Constantinople Of July 3Oth, states that the
Turkish feet had sailed for Varna with the
pontoon and all the transports, and adds, Su"
lima is burnt.
The statements with regard to the evacua-
ton of Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia,
by the Russians are confirmed. Dispatches
from Vienna of August 9Th, covering others
from Bucharest of the ID, state that on the
lst the Russians retired from Bucharest, af-
ter having broken up the road between that
city and Kalugereni. They were on their
way to Moldavia.
A Vienna paper says the Turks have agreed
with Austria not to enter Bucharest, and the
Danube on the arrival of the Austrians. Omar
Pachl has issued proclamation that Wal
lachia shall not be the theatre of military
events.
A letter from Frankfort states that in the
sitting Of the Diet on the 4th inst, Denmark
gave in her complete adherence to the Austro-
Prussian treaty.
From THE BLACK SEA.-On the 3Oth ult.,
the allied fleets were in sight of Sebastopol,
accompanied by many transports.
The two following dispatches relate to the
expedition to the Crimea
VARNA, July 30. Sir George Brown has
returned in the Fury in which vessel he en-
tered the harbor Of Sebastopol i'll the night,
and remained till dawn. The Fury was fired
at both with shot and shell, but she suffered
no damage. The cholera is subsiding in the
English camp. The deaths do not exceed 16
(
immediate advance of the allied troops.
PARIS, August L evening. The last de-
spatches received here from Constantinople,
fully confirm the fact of the expedition to the
Crimea, which had already left Baltschik.-
Private letters speak variously as to the
amount of the force employed in that impor-
tant operation. Some speak of $4,000 men,
while others make them $4,000. In any case
the fullest confidence is expressed in the sue
cess of the expedition.
The London papers complain that Admiral
Dundas is ag lin permitting the Russians to
have their own way in the Black Sea-
The Russian war steamer Vladimir was
chasing her Maiesty's steamer Cyclops near
the Bosphorus, just at the time our Admiral
fondly thought that every Russian ship was
cooped up in Sebastopol. The Cyclops es-
capped.
Three Turkish merchant vessels, while at
their mornings in the harbor of Heracles
(Erekli) have been burned by Russian steam
frigate that came from Sebastopol, and was
able to cross the whole of the Black Sea with
out being seen by the Anglo French cruisers!
The ships destroyed were laden, one with In
dian corn, second with wood, and the third
with coal extracted from the mines at Hera-
clea, and intended for the allied squadrons.
RUssIA.-Priyate adyices from Riga men
ton
Whereas the customs received at the Rus
sian Baltic ports, inclusive Of Petersburg, of
late years amounted to about million OF sill
yer roubes month in the early months, af-
ter the opening of navigation, they have this
year hardly reached a hundred roubles. The
feeling there on the subject of Napier's plan
OF operations seems to be that every day that
the strict blockade is maintained, new and
deeper wounds are inflicted on the country in
comparison with which the taking of Cron-
stadt, which must necessarily be very dearly
purchased by the victors, would be an evil of
secondary Importance.
CnoNsrADr, August q The Archduke Con-
stantine, has had hair breadth escape of his
life. The boat in which he was embarked
was upset. Admiral Galitzin and four sea-
men were drowned.
