LATER FROM EUROPE.
The advices brought by the Atlantic ado but lir-le
The shape OF positive facts to the intelligence
previously received regards the war. Late CON-
Nominations from Vienna, coFvoborated by the de-
Cla1atjons OF the English ministers in Parliament on
che 24th would lead TO the conclusion that the Car
had decided upon maintaining the pancy Of the
Prncipalties by force Of arms. and that Austria
would, II necessary, expel him. coloring Of
probability Is given to this view Of the intentions Of
he two powers by the statement that the Austraus
were advancing into the Principaiities, and that
the Russian General, Gortschakoff, had announced
his determination to hold possession Of them with
100000 men. II Is even said that he had given
orders that in all official documents in which the
name Of the Gar is used, the title of Protector
OF the Princpalities" shall be added.
Notwithstanding these statements we are still IA.
clined to think that the Russian Emperor will not
commit egregious strategical mistake 90 to a..
tempt to maintain possession Of Wallaehia, with
fbe prospect Of having his forces hemmed in on
both sides by the armies Of the coalition, and his
chain of communication with his sources Of supply
through the Moldavian territory cut of If he really
eOntemplates such step, it argues the conscious
ness Of his being able to Concentrate such over
whelmiDg force on the points Immediately msnaced
as win enable him to defy the combined efforts Of
his enemies. This view of the case is, however,
hardly consistent with the hesitation impaired to
his operations on the Danube by the doubts inspired
by the vacAlation.o of the Austrian Cabinet.
The new credit of .s3 100000 demanded by the
English government for the expenses Of the war,
has been agreed to by Parliament without any
opposition. In the debate incidentally raised by
demands in both Houses for explanations the i'm
portant declaration was extorted from Ministers
that in the settlement Of the questions at issue,
whenever It might arrive, there was no intention
upo their part of returning to the status qno and
LordJOhn Russell even went 80 far as to intimate
chat Russia would not be allowed to maintain the
xnenacing attitude that she had hitherto done, by
keeping so large feet at Sebsstopol. There is
no doubt that this tardy but still vague statement
Of the Interior views Of the cabinet has been n6u.
eneeA by the more decided disposition recently
evinced by Austria to concur to the full extent in
their policy.
Late dispatches from Madrid announce the com.
pleteTiumph Of the instruction far as the over
ehrov of the government Is concerned, but it yet
remaips to be seen whether the movement is home
geneous in it's character and Objects whether the
elements of which it Ia composed will not now as
sumo different flags We fear that Spain is only in
the lrst stage Of another long period Of political
anarchy and con fusion, which will be fomented and
perpetuated by the action OF external Influences.
II lie said that the Queen, who is still at Madrid,
has sent for Espsrtero to form an administration;
and there Is even some talk of her Indicating in
favor of her infant daughter So far the indignation
Of the people seems to have been directed against
the Queen-Mother and Sartorius, the most unpopu-
lar member of the late Ministry. They have
both fed from the capital, and the palace of Queen
Christina, as well as the mansion of the Count De
San Luis, have been sacked and destroyed by the
populace. In the meanwhile, the Condo De Monte
moln has entered Navarro, and is actively gather
ing around him his old adherents. What chancehe
will have in pushing his prctensions will depend as
much on the amount Of pecuniary support he win re-
ceiye from Russia a. on the degree of weight which
sill attaches to his name. Gold Is an an-powerful
argument with the modern Spaniard.
Abbas Pacha, the liberal and enlightened viceroy
II Egypt, Ia dead, and Is succeeded by Said Pacha.
ASSAULT ON THE PRESIDENT.
Our dispatches from Warrington furnish the
particulars Of an assault committed on the person Of
the President yesterday. The invisible spirit of
rum has, since the extreme hot weather set In,
proved productive Of drefu consequences both here
and elsewhere. In no city In the country is the sin
of intemperance morc-rampant than in the national
capital particularly At the close Of long and ar
duous session Of Congress; and some Of its victims
have at last in amoment Of deep inebriety, inflicted
m outrageous assault upon the CHIEF magistrate Of
The Union. Fortunately, no bodily harm was done,
and the magnanimity Of the President, In declining
10 prosecute the unfortunate individuals engaged in
ahe disgracefal proceeding, may make them here
after wiser, soberer and better men,
FROM WARRINGTON.
The Senate met yesterday, and motions were
made to act upon several propositions, but they
were all overuled by the presiding officers, ss the
terms Of the resolution Of adjournment specified
shat no business OF Legislature character should
be transacted. The President of the Senate was
busily engaged in signing bills, and among them
was the Army and Post Office Appropriations. AZ
ser short executive session the Senate adjourned
20 eight o'clock Monday morning.
In the House, the Presidents veto OF the River
and Harbor bill formed the subject of discussion.
Colonel Richardson Of Illinois, expressed his Vows
In opposition 70 the grounds taken in the message
Of the Executive, with undisguised bitterness; and
Mr.. Campbell, Of Ohio, spoke in q similar strain.
Mr.. Hubbard, Of New Hampshire, defended his
friend the President 1t b evident that the vetoing
Of this bin win operate powerfully against the I'd.
ministration in the West. As the President has
promised to give his views and opinions at length
On this important subject his next annual message
win be looked for with no little anxiety, and IN
less some topic arises sufficiently exciting to absorb
pubic attention, the question Of the i'm provement
Of the rivers and inland harbos, IN all its aspects
win form the prominent feature Of the next ses
sion Of Congress.
