LATER FROM EUROPE.
The steamship Pacific left Liverpool on the Esd
NIT, and arrived ct this port yesterday afternoon.
The advices brought by this arrival are inguIarly
uuinteresing. There is not only an unusual dearth
Of new factsrcgardng the war, hst there a sort of
collapse in the budget of manufactured rumors to
which the stock exchange contributes 20 large
share. If things go on at this rate the Eastern
war will die premature death by hamilton. Even
the large amount Of gas discharged By the French
Emperor in his corr atu atcry proclamation to the
army Of the East on the occasion Of that magnificent
and ever memorable achievement, the taking Of
Bomarsund faisto iwpart little life to the dulrees
of this most prcsaic Of wars. 1t hGs been reserved
for the nineteenth century to produce the most Of
-fecsive satire on the absurdity of this method Of
adjusting national difficulties that the world has
as yet seen.
Some further details are given respecting the
capture of Eomarsund. Amongst the prisoners We
find the name Of General Bodisco, the governor Of
the fortress and, we believe, relative of the
late minister to this country. There are reports OF
some unnecessary acts Of cruelty committed by the
Russians before surrendering the place, but they
seem to be doubted by the London journals
We have it again affirmed that the Russians were
10 have recrossed the Pruth by the 1st of Septem
her, so that the intelligence conveyed in our
previous adyices, that they intended to retain
certain strategic positions in the Principates,
turns ont, as we anticipated, to be incorrect The
error arose, no doubt, from the fact that it had
been resolved to concentrate body of sixty thou
sand Russian troops on the right bank of the
Pruth under General Luders, in order to cover
the Russian fotilla on the Danube, which will be
sacrificed by the evacuation Of Galatz.
The cholera has proved more formidable enemy
to the Crimean expeditionary corps than the Rus
sians them selves could possibly have been. At
least fifteen thousand men have already fallen
victims to the malady, and it is expected tAat it
will be several weeks before the expedition is
able to sail. So much for the policy of delay This
discouragng fact is not likely to help the Aberdeen
ministry through their endorsements.
The account that we published some weeks since
Of DR.. Cottmans visit to Russia and Of his CONVEX
sations with the Gear, has furnished the London
Tines with theme for one of those peculiar arti
cles In which it excels and which in general dis
play more ingenuity than candor. We nevertheless
recommend it to the attention of our readers as an
amusing specimen of our contemporaries eccentri-
cities Of style.
From Spain there is nothing Of interest beyond
decree ordering levy of 900 additional troops for
the government, and the granting q civic decora-
ton to those who had assisted in effectng the
luton. Matters will probably remain in their pre-
sent state until the assembling of the Constituent
Cortes, when the impeachment of the Queen.Mother
will probably produce another explosion, as it is
hardly likely that the more moderate Of the pro-
gressistas will consent to so extreme q step.
The Bavarian mule, whom accident has made
King Of Greece, is said to be kicking against the
new traces imposed upon him by the allies. He has
refused to disband the irregular troops, and the
upehot of the affair, we suppose, will be that he
win be sent back to digest sour krout and lager
bier in Munich.
The most interesting item Of intelligence in these
advices as far a. we are concerned Is the announce
nent that H. B. Ms seventy gun ship Boscawen
has been ordered to San Juan. We presume that
this has been done in polite compliance with CAPT.
Holins' hearty and sailor-like response to Lieut..
Jollys wish that he had had vessel large enough
to put stop to his proceedings As all the mischief
that could be done has been effected, we can see no
other motive the part of the British government
in sending out this formidable vessel than desire
to pay the worthy captain some gratifying mark Of
attention.
LATER FROM HAVANA
The steamship Casce City arrived yesterday
morning from Havana. The appointment Of Gene
raj Concha as Captain General had created much
qualification, and arrangements were in progress
to give him enthusiastic reception The letter of
our correspondent, given in another column, con
tains all the news.
NEWS FROM GUIANA.
We have received our files Of Georgetown Ode
merars) journals to the 18th Of August. The pa
pers do not contain any news Of greater interest
than that which was published in the HERALD Of
the 10Th ultimo, and dated on the 9Th Of the same
month. The Coiontsf Of August 9th, after abiding
TO the state Of the weather and the health Of the
people, says:-" Our wet season has gradually
broken, and the dry weather has commenced,
still interpreted with an occasional tropical
shower, relieving the excessive heat. AT this
time, the break of the two seasons, the close
ness of the atmosphere is felt peculiarly or.
pressive and in consequence IL Is usually found
more sekly than the settled weather; now, however,
the city and the colony generally are peculiarly
healthy. The weather appears to be very proptious
for the planters, and the crop time has set In with
very good prospects, far as nature Is concerned"
The came Journal adds" Trade is reported dull,
and unless the American outrage on Greytown is
properly atoned for we suppose wo shall have to
suffer for a time from the scarcity Of provisions,
lumber, &c. At all events, we trust England and 4
France will not be slow in enforcing reparaton for
this dastardly violation Of the rights OF nationsv
We publish the latest report of the state of the mar
kets.
THE STATE ELECTIONS.
Tomorrow the elections In California and Yer.
mont take place. In both these States the Legis-
iatures, members of Congress, and State officers,

essentially mixed up in both, the result viii be
looked for with considerable interest. In California
the election derives add tional Importance from the
