THE NEWS FROM EUROPE.


By the arrival, yesterday, of tie Her.
man and America, we have one weeks
later news from Europe from which we
learn that the war has commenced in
earnest. AS the columns of the morning
papers are crowded with the details Of
news brought by these arrivals, we deem
it necessary only to give a synopsis of
the principle points Of intelligence.
The Cars silent rejection of the ulti-
matum had been officially promulgated,
and England and France had united in
the declaration of war. The most stu
pendous preparations were making by
the allies, and Russia, fairly aroused,
was putting her vast armies in notion.
Fifty thousand Russians had crossed the
Danube, and it was evidently the Cars
intention to overwhelm the Turks if DOS
sible before they could receive the aid of
their allies. In the Baltic, Russia was
making the greatest preparations, which
the Car and his sonwere PERSONAL ysuper.
intending. Dispatches had been sent to
Admiral Napier, notifying him that war
had been declared and directing the COM
mencement of hoStilities. The rupture
between Turkey and Greece was COM
plete, and tn, instruction in the latter
country again looked threatening. In
Parliament the announcement had been
officially made that England would not
give up the right of search of neutral
vessels for articles contraband of war.
From Spain we have the gratifying in
telligence that the Queen has pardoned
the prisoners engaged in the invasion of
Cuba under Lopez. 81 .a..a-2 "a
THE WAR. .ssa
The campaign along the Danube has
begun in earnest. It is confirmed that
the Russians have crossed the Danube in
great force to strike decisive blow be.
fore the arrival Of the Anglo French
force. On the 23d ultimo Gortshakotf
crossed the Danube above Tulska, which
place be occupied, capturing eleven guns
and making two hundred prisoners. He
also captured several small fleets on the
Turkish side of the river. General Ludres
with the main body of the Russians
crossed from Galatz without much loss.
Full $4,000 Russians are now on the right
bank. On the 23d General Luders com
menced preparations for the siege of
Matschin. -. - -.
q On the 23d a large body Of Russians
attempted to cross near Oltanitza, DIES.
perate battle ensued, in which the Rus
slams were routed with the loss of 5000
killed. The Turks themselves were also
SO badly cut up that they had to retire

1.-THE New York Journal Of Commerce
says: "The Nebraska excitement has
done one good thing, for which we rejoice.
1t has brought out those latent Adolf
tionists, who were too cowardly to show
their hands so long as they thought it
would be unpopular. We now see what
they re,-mere "doefaces," afraid of their
own shadows, but full of principle when
there is any favor to be gained by it
One of the most furious and uncharitable
of our assailants since the Nebraska war
broke out, is man who in 1851 or 1852,
when he wGs a candidate for office, adj
dressed US aprivate letter, begging that we
would not oppose him, as he was very
good Onion man at heart, but thought
it policy, just then, to manifest leaning
towards Free-Soilism, lest he should lose
his hold upon portion Of his Wing
friends, who, he thought, by discreet
management, could be brought over to
Union principles. We of course took him
at his word. He was defeated, however
as he deserved to be; and now he seeks
to ride into favor on another hobby of
the same breed, which he goads to dis
traction. We shall know him next time. :"

The 1850 New England Clergymen.-The

clare that their References petitioned as cit-

sure-hell-as the penalty to be awarded to
those who might act in Congress in this matter
contrary to their views of right. Such, if not
their language in so many words, was plainly
the meaning of the words they used, reduced
to blunt English. But it will be recollected
that they did likewise in their pulpit anathe
mas against Thomas Jefferson, Andrew jackson,
and Daniel Webster. Such also was the spirit
of their denunciations of the last war with
Britain and the Mexican war.
! 1t is worse than folly in the Times to essay
to convince the common-sense world that, in
this case, they have not been playing their old
game. The fact is patent. Senator Douglas
gave them precisely their deserts, and public
opinion amply sustains him in so doing, though
