LATE FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Baltic arrived at New ork
on Thursday last. A summary Of The most
important news brought by her we here
give:
The only event Of political interest is the
decision of Lord Palmerston to retain Of
fee. The reason assigned is that his diff
ference with the Government on the Reform
Bill have been adjusted. The Times renews
Its assertions that foreign affairs had nothing
whatever 10 do with his tender Of resigna-
ton.
The Eastern question remains in Q stafn
quo. No new movement has taken place
on either side. II is stated that the Turk
ish Divan is mol disincl,ned to listen TO the
new proposals of the -Four Powers, but it IS
believed the evacuation of The Prncipsli.ies
will still be demanded.
Letters from Paris state very distinctly
that Louis Napoleon was very peremptory
in his determination to protec. Turk ey afles
the affairs at Sinope.
Intelligence has been received from Con-
staninople that the last note of the Vlenns
Conference has been accepted by the Porte.
The proposition embodied in that document
were submitted 10 the Grand Council Of tho
Empire, discussed at much length, and were
pronounced by the majority of members to
be such as might be accepted by Turkey
without dishonor or humiliation. The rep
resena,ives of the Four Powers employed
their bes. efforts TO produce that decision.
II remains 10 be seen what Russia will do.
Tho same despatch which announces tho
fact Of the acceptance Of the Vienns propo-
silions, adds that Russia still maintains her
arrogant demands, refuses to negotiate, and
cont nues hoslililies as at Sinope, the Pow
ers will, wi,hou. any delay, assume the al.i-
tude of energy which becomes them, and
which, in fact, means nothing more or less
in reality than war.
Both the Turkish Minister in Perss, and
the Persian Minister a, Constantinople, have
quilted their posts contrary 10 the advice
Of the French and English Ministers. The
Turks are preparing for an expedition a.
gsinst Sebastopol.
Confirming the above, we have accounts
from Vienna, Oath, that the Persians and
Russians have opened direct communca-
ton, and that the Russian General Yermo-
loft is to command The Persian forces. By
adyces of the I'd, we also learn that The
Persian Beglerbegs have received orders to
prepare quarters for the reception OF troops.
THREE DAYS LATER.
We have the following additional items
of intelligence by the arrival of the Europa
at New York on Monday:

doubt, but the fact is established that the
question of peace or war lies with Russia
and not with Turkey.

between the Porte and The representatives.
of the Four Powers.
Advices from 81. Petersburg state that
considerable business has been done tn mn
ports for The next year.
The preparations making BY the Govern
ment indicate that more serious consequen-
ces are anticipated than war with Turkey
alone.

Turks, is officially announced and that the
sieges of Akiska and Aexandropol had been
raised. force of $4,000 Turkish rregu-

Cotton into France from England.
A rumor was prevalen. at Paris on the

ell at Madrid with the Duke Of Alba, and
