Late Advioes from Europe.

Geo. w. Kendall one of the editors of the
N. 0. Picayune, writing to that paper from
Paris in relation to affairs in the Crimea,
says in substance, that the fortunes of Russia
are decidedly on the wane; that the Allies
have over 100000 well trained and hardy sol
diers, and mentions report that the Russians
had commenced cuating the ''North SIDE"
as it is termed, of Sebastopol, and that Prince
Gortschakoff intended retreating and concen-
trating himself at Simpheropol.
He admits that Gortschakoff has more
military capacity than his opponents, but says
that he is in a very critical position.
al &C counts agree that the defence of Kars
by the Turks is one of the most brilliant
achievements of the war.
Kendall speaks of rumor that is in circula-
ton, to the effect that peace of some kind is
to be patched up between Russia and her adj
versaries. He also says that the English gov
eminent has recalled Gen. Simpson from the
Crimea and appointed Sir Codington in his
place, and adds Gen. S. was certainly unequal
to the place. and the antecedants of the new
commander, so far as he could learn, are not
very brilliant. He may turn out better than
bis predecessors, and this without saying
much in his favor.
The Times has been abusing Gen. Simpson
most numerically. And Kendall says Il a
the charges brought against him would blast
the reputation of any general living
Bread li)ts have occurred in London, and
the state of things existing among the poor il
France, with regard to provisions, is deplora
bic. The following extract from letter datec
Paris, Oct. 25th, 1856, may indicate the con.
dition:
The man comes home at night with three OIL
four francs and hears his hungry brood clam
oring for more bread than he has the means t.
pay for. There has been no corresponding in
erase IN his wages, and he finds it utterly impos
sible to fill Their caving stomachs or cover the
shivering backs of mis- wife and little ones This
is the plain simple TRUTH truth which stares
the French Emperor in the face, no matter
which way he turns his head. The employers
cannot increase the price or amount of wages
given to their men; their men cannot sustain
themselves with food at the present rates, anC
there it is.

Additional advices reached us yesterday even
ing as to the condition of affairs in Platte coun
ty The excitement at the date of our infor-
nation continued very great. The friends OF
law and order were determined to uphold the
right and resist aggression. When the call of
the friends of order for meeting at Weston
was made, Gen. sStringfellow Immediately start
ed for Platte CITY to drum up his partizans.
When the meeting organized, Stringfellow and
his band collected around the stand and at
tempted to break up the assembly. They
were, however, overawed by the firmness and
nerve of Colonel /. Burnes, of Parkville. Pls-
tolls were cooked and knives drawn, amid
the londest uproar Burnes stepped upon the
stand and hurled defiance at the mob. Motions
to adjourn were made by Stringfellow's men,,
but Weston was firm. The Chairman then
put the law and order resolutions introduced
| bv Mr. Burnes, which were carried by large
vote, when the meeting adjourned. During its
progress, letter and Geographic despatch
were received from Mr.. Park, read and much
Iapplauded After the Chairman and masses
had left, Stringfellow organized another meet
ling, when Judge Almond was called to the
island. He said there was no cause for this
excitement, as they would stand by the laws.
At the same time Stringfellow and his men
declared on the street that the threats of the
mob would be carried out. Col. I. Burnes offer
ed resolution to appoint twenty men to in
yestiglte and report whether Mr.. Park had
committed any offence, and pledging all par
ties to abide by their decision. This PROPOSE
On was rejected by the midnight party
Gentlemen who were present say they never
saw excitement like that at this meeting. Oul
