our uespatCtes lrOin fiaIhix tns morning IurIIsi
acomplete summary of the European news brought
by the Canada. The advices, although one week
later, are comparatively unimportant. Their most
salient feature is the statement that Baron Man
terfe in his speech to the Prnssian Chambers, had
defnitively announced that Prussia was acting in
perfect accord with Austria and the Western Pow
ers AS sort of counterpoise to this information
we learn that the resignation Of the Chevaer
Bunsen the minister to the court Of London had
been accepted, and Count Bernstein, the present
minister to the court of Naples, and who is known
to be thoroughly devoted to Russia, has been nom-
mated as his successor. We know not how to recon
ellie these two statements
The example of England and France as regards
the rights of neutrais has, as was to be expected
been followed by Russia. DEGREES have been issued
by the Emperor, according TO French and English
recognizing the inviolability of enemys property
IN neutral bottoms, and according to subjects of
neutral Powers found on board enemys ships the
same privilege. French and English vessels are al
lowed six weeks from the 10th of April to escape
from Russian ports in the Black Sea- and six weeks
from May 18th to leave the Baltic ports These
measures only carry out the enlightened spirit of
the armed neutrality code promulgated in the year
1850 by the Empress Catharine, and which was sug
gested by the independent action of this country.
It was the combination of Russia, Sweden and Den
mark, effected under the provisions of this code,
which first effectually broke through system that
had inflicted ncalculable injury the commerce of
the world. A French imperial decree allows Rus
sian ships which are in ports in the Baltic and
White Seas previous to the 18th of May to unload
and return unmolested to Russian or neutral ports.
The Madrid correspondence of the London Times,
mder date goth of APRIL processes to give a de-
scripuon of the character of the diplomatic notes
exchanged between our minister and the Spanish
government in relation to the Black Warrior affair
some severe structures are passed in this let
ter on the conduct of Mr.. Soule, and it is added
that the Spanish government regard the American
claims as overbearng and exorbitsnt. These state
ments are, however, to be received with qualifca-
tion, as their accuracy depends the correctness
of the sources of infTnation open to the writer
On the sth Mr.. Soule was present at dinner given
by Lord Howden, at the British Embassy.
The British Parliament reassembed on the 26th,
after short recess. In the course of debate
pectng the progress Of hostilties, the Earl Of Ca-
rendon stated that he had received despatch from
the British Admiral contradicting the accuracy of
of the details published respecting the burning
of fortresses on the coast of Circassia.
The Greek instruction appears to be making
formidable progress, and the allies are likely to
meet with more trouble in that quarter than they
expected The whole of southern Thessaly is said
TO be in arms, and the Gulf Of Corinth is guarded
by French ships Of war, which have effectually cut
off all communication with the Peloponnesus 1t is
clear that the sympathy of the Greeks is enlisted on
the side of Russia and the recent expulsion of the
foreign residents of that nation from Constantinople
will only have the effect Of still further infaming
that feeling.
Marshal st. Arnaud has at last embarked for ii o
East, with the fifteen hundred bandboxes and pack
ages which it seems this redoubtable commander
and Madame Ia Marechale deem essential to the
successful carrying out of the Turkish campaign.
Prince Napoleon had touched at Malta on his way to
the East.
The Russian Minister to Persia had returned to
ST. Petersburg, and not to be replaced. The re-
port is again renewed that Dost Mahommed seeks
an alliance with Great Britain.
From the Danube there is report of a sanyu'-
nary engagement near Kalefat, and it is added that
the Russians were withdrawing from before that
place 1t is also stated that they had sustained
defeat at Pattschemaroda and had evacuated Little
Wallachia. The allied fleets were at anchor of
Odessa the Goth of April, so that we presume an
Immediate attack will be made on that port. Its
defences are not as strong as those OF Sebastopo,
and its total destruction may be looked for. 10000
French and 5000 English troops have arrived at
Galipoli.
Sir Charles Napier seems to find the Russian ports
in the Baltic not quite accessible was supposed
The last account reports him at Stockholm, whilst
his feet was about fifty miles of.
The American Consul was about to send from
London TO New York eight seamen of the clippe
ship Sovereign of the Seas, for trial for mutny. The
relatives of the men had pettioned Lord Palmer
ston to prevent their removal.
The news by the Canada exercised no influence
OF moment on the prices of wheat or -four. In
combination with greater supplies on the spot and
to arrive it tended to depress the market for corn
which receded to cents per bushel for all kinds
save prime Southern yellow, which was scarce and
firm. The shipments included 10000 to $4,000
bushels to Liverpool at I'd. per bushe which exhi-
bited further advance in freights. Cotton was
steady with an active market. The sales embraced
1915 bales for export and l02l do. for home ussS
There continued to be good demand for deal
faeights to England from the British Provinces.
