Arrival Of the Asia
THREE DAYS LATER IRON 1URoPl

The steamship Asia arrived ct New York
from Liverpool at s o'clock last evening. Her
dates are to the frst of July-being three days
later than previous advices.
Apart fom the somewhat suspicious attitude
assumed by Austria, in the occupation Of the
prineipalities, the political news is not Of an
important character.
Since the sailing Of the Baltic, further de-
cline had taken place in breadstufs. Cotton
was frmer. The London market was in a
comparatively easy condition.
An active demand had sprung up for Aueri-
can stocks at advanced rates.
From telegraphic dispatches Of the Asis's
news, received at this Office, We make up the
following summary:
PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
The whole aspect of the war has undergone
an entire change, and it is difficult to forsee
what new complications may arise. Austria
is ready to march her army of 100000 men
into the Principalities, thus interposing be.
tween the combatants, and preventing further
hostilities there.
Austria has not yet received the Cars Off
cial reply, and cannot receive it before July
Sd, and will not act .decisively until received.
The action of Austria is in accordance with
the convention between herself Individually
and the Porte.

Varna, preparing, it is supposed, for the ex-
petition under St. Arnaud in person into
Crimea.

The position of Austria is looked upon by
England md France with great scrutiny and
caution. Many shrewd persons believe that
her object in taking possession Of the princi.
palities is fully understood by Russia, and
that her ultimate object is to aid the Emperor
when a favorable opportunity arrives. This
fact has given decided concern to the allied
powers.

evacuated the Principalities out Of mere re.
spect for Austria, but that the Gear preferred
a peaceable evacuation, to being driven out
by the combined forces of England and France
