THE FOREIGN NEWS.

We devote large space in our paper to-day to the de-
tails Of the brought by the last two steamers from
England We nothing in the to change the views
heretofore expressed in the Union in regard to the probable
issue Of the campaign in the Crmea although events have
since ranspred which could not have been forscen by
the great parties who have much at stake There is
nothing in the extracts give from the London and
Paris papers justify the broad assertion that an offensive
and defensive alliance had been entered into between Aus
ra and the western powers and the sudden and large
advance in the English funds warrants the suspicion that
the stockholders have again been making capital out Of
false hghly-coored Indeed, we have despatch
from New York which states that private advces from
London deny that England has guaranteed to Austria the
integrity of Hungary and Lonbardy. Without such q
guarantee it to that Austria would not only be
taking bold, but rash step, in drawing her sword
against her old ally and preserver.
