From EurOne.


BY The steamers Franklin and Niagara We
have advices from Europe to the 9Th inst. The
news is both interesting md important CONNER
cally and politically.
The Gar has returned courteous but evasIyt
reply to Austria and Prussia, protesting his Will
ingneSs to evacuae the Princpalities when thu
Allies evacuate Turkey but in the meanwhile
persists IN retaining Moldayia. The Austrian:
had began to enter Wallachia.
HostliItles continue, and fighting is reported
from the Baltic, Black Sea, the Danube, ant
Asia.
The Austrians have entered Wa!lachia, anc
the French Army is embarking in English ship:
at Cherbourg for Finland.
Respecting the Austrian occupation OF Nalla
cha all yet known is that on The "a OF July
seventeen steamers with Austrian troops on boaro
dropped down the Danube.
On The oath of June, eight Russian steamer:
came out from Sevastapol and attacked three ALL
ed ships at the batteries The allied ships en-
gagged were the Furious, the Terrible, and the
Describes. The affair seems to have been run
ming fight. The Furious was considerably dam
aged.
On the 2lst and 22d an important battle was
fought The Turks under General GlTolie. and
Mesha Pasha, fell on the Russian rear guard OF
$4,000, near Sistria on the 2lst. The battle
lasted two days, and the Russians lost 2,5UO men
killed and made good their retreat.
The Russians continued the concentration OF
troops towards Seretch and the Pruth, and APP
parenily mean to return to Matschin, Itschka, and
Tultsca on the right bank of the Danube.
The news is bad for the Turks from Asia. On
the 9th of June the aarrks met with severe
check in attemptipgtt storm two redoubts be-
tween the Usulgnet and kuiors. The Russians
attacked them in flank, and during the assault de-
feated them with $500 to 1000 killed. They
also captured the entire camp equpage, with Is
cannons and So standards.
The plan of the campaign and movements Of
the allied army are still kept profoundly secret
Cavalry are supposed to be advancing by land to
to Balkans.
A telegraph is being built from Constanlnople
to Varna. Shumla, Widdin and Gallipolis
Fifty thousand Ango-French troops are still at
Varna, and Prince Napoleon is also there.
There has been formidable insurrectlon in
Spain, headed by Gen. O'DOnnel. The insur-
rents were defeated near Madrid, but still main
tanned themselves.
Wheat, flour and corn have declined in price at
Liverpool.
The telegraph reports the following as the last
news from Spain brought by the Niagara The
insurrection continued, and the Government was
severely pressed. The Queen had thrown herself
on the protection of the troops. 1t is impossible
to come at the truth. From the statements pub
Iished by the Government, the insurgents nun
bered 900; Of whom 1000 were cavalry. They
demand Tie dismissal of the ministry and the
Queens iavoriies. The outbreaks as yet have
been entirely military. An action took place near
the village of Vicalvaro. The insurgents charged
three times unsuccessfully, and at length alter
great loss relreated upon Toledo. The Royalsls
would again attack them, when the expected re
Inducements arrived from Saragossa, Sc. Mad
rid was quiet, and there was no general rising in
the provinces. The news had reached Barcelona,
and all was quiet there Anxiety was felt as 10
the part that Generals Narvaez and Serene will
take-meantime the instruction is formidable,
and it depends upon accident whether the lnsur-
gents or royaists will triumph.
Letters from Italy say that the alliance of Aus
tra with France and England has greatly dam
pened the prospects of the revolutionary party In
LOmbardy and the Roman States.
