NEW YORK, July A.-The Q. 8. mail steam
ship Pacific, Captain Nye, reached her wharf
| last night. She sailed from Liverpool on the
18th inst, and consequently brings four days
later Intelligence from England and all parts
of the continent. s.-'rf. .-
| Tho political news is Of vague, perplexiDg,
contradictory, and unsatisfactory character.
1t is evident that the cabinets of Vienna and
Berlin do not enter cordially into the views
and designs of France and England; while
the hesitancy Of Austria, in occupying the
principally of Moldsvia has again awakened
a feeling Of jealous apprehension. .si
The Russians have made q demonstration
| in Persia, which bodies no good to the British
possessions in India. .
The instruction in Spain does not appear
to be of so threatening character as was first
reported.
| We do not know what to make Of Sir Charles
Napier. He appears to be playing the open
aud shut game with remarkable caution and
success One acsount has it that he has at.

Nicholas. The King has sent special envoy
to the young Emperor of Austria, who is in
structed to urge his majesty to refrain from
making any further warlike demonstration
in favor of England and France, In the pres
emit war, and to join Prussia in stll another
attempt to negotiate peace. t re.
Orders have been sent from Vienna counter.
handing the advance Of the Austrian army
into Moldavia. @
The English and French journals again give
utterance to expressions of doubt and suspi
cion as to the good faith of Austria towards the
allies; and are inclined to believe that her
occupation of the priucipalities may yet prove
q sort Of trusteeship for the benefit of her old
ally-Russia. 'a
The accounts relative TO the evacuation Of
the Principslities by the Russian troops are Of
highly contradictory character. - 80
