the Russians made bold sortie but were re-
pulsed The relative positions of the con-
testants are unchanged, though the story is
that the Allies are making slow but sure
advances, and are sure of success if not forced
by the Russians to raise the siege. 1t is said
that after the arrival of certain reinforccments
General Canrobert will attack the Russian field
positions The English army is in better
health. Four thousand Sandman troops had
arrived The English Press admit that all
hope of peace is gone that Austria will not
aid them, and that Great Britain and France
have got to bear the burden alone. There
was nevertheless motion in Parliament look
ing toward renewal of negotiations. The
English feet in the Baltic is working up toward
Gothland. The London papers tell a story of
Yankee speculation in that quarter which is
characteristic if not true 1t is of a vessel
with an alleged cargo of cotton, but really
laden with muskets, and revolyers, getting into
the Baltic sea and safely to a Russian market
before the contraband goods were discovered.
NJ Drouyn de PHuys, French Ministero of War,
has resigned, and is succeeded by Count
Walewski late French Minister to Great
Britain The story that Count Buol has re-
signed is not confirmed. The very latest war
rumor is that Austria and all Germany are on
the point of declaring their strict neutrality.
Redschild Pasha has been superseded as Grand
Vizier by Mahomet Pasha The man who
ma de a target of Louis Napoleon, and proved
himself a very bad shot, has been sentenced to
death. Parliament has passed bill abolish
the newspaper stamp tax. Mr.. Layards reso-
| luton inquiring into the management of the
Army is temporarily postponed, but the Roe
buck Committee is still in session. 1t is said
that Palmerston is losing popularity even more
rapidly than Aberdeen did Several changes,
or rumors thereof, in the French Ministry are
noted. A mares nest has been discovered by
the French Police-no less than a concerted
plot throughout Europe for a revolt against
| Kings and Emperors on the day that Pianori
| fired at Napoleon and therefore Pianori is
to be kept awhile in the hope Of getting further
| light upon the dark conspiracy 1t has been
officially declared that the Democratic party in
Spain had never entered into any negotiations
whatsoever with Mr. Soule for the sale of
Cuba. The only active thing in Naples is Mount
VesuVius, which is just now breaking out in
violent pyrotechnic displays. Russian authori-
ties confirm the report of an insurrection in
the Ukraine, and say that Poland is very un-
easy.
LATER-The steamer Pacific, arrived at
New York on Wednesday morning last, bring
one week later intelligence. The news brought
by the Pacific, although not of decisive i'm
fportance, is of varied interest. The siege of
Sebastopol progresses very slowly indeed, and
as the telegraph is now in the hands of the
Government exclusively, it is difficult to decide
from the imperfect hints supplied whether the
besiegers or besieged gain most advantage
Symptoms have transpired of extended opera
tions being about to commence on the part of
the Allies. A force of $4,000 Turks, French
and English hastily embarked on board all the
available ships near Sebastopol, and stood
away in the direction of the sea of Azoff In
a day or two they returned and as hastily dis
| embarked, Omer Pasha and his Turks making
all speed to ensconce themselves in Eupatoria.
Gen. Canrobert had reviewed the entire French
army, and assured them he would soon enter
Sebastopol either by the door or window
Negotiations between Austria and the Western
Powers remain where they were, but be-
tween Austria and Prussia relations are be-
coming more intimate and have for object to
preserve strict neutrality Russia has directed
her representative at the Court of Darmstadt
to notify all the German Governments that
Russia will only hold to the first Two Points
of Guarantee on condition of the perfect
neutrality of Germany. France and England
have presented an ultimatum to Sweden, to
which the Swedes have replied by incorporat-
ing their militia In England many incidents
tend to mark the Democratic change that is
coming over the nations. The Queen has con-
descended publicly to bestow medals on private
soldiers in the streets of London. In various
parts of the country administrative reform"
meetings have been held and in the House of
Lords debate on Eenborough's motion drew
forth an extraordinary amount of Democratic
speaking. The Paris Exposition has been
opened as spectacle the opening was
| failure. Pianori, the woud-be assassin of the
Emperor has been guillotined From other
parts OF Europe there is nothing remarkable,
excepting an eruption of Vesuvius
