Ten Days, Later from, Eurone

The Pacific happily dispersed the fears thai
were felt Tor her safety by her arrival 1T New
York on the 4Ih with ten days Iaer European
intelligence dates beingto the 29th uit.-
We have by this arrival quite an important and
interesting budget of news. The war news pre-
seats no very striking point with the exception Of
Of an engagement at Erpatora between the
Turks and Russians in which the latter were
defeated. The yalne OF The victory is somewhat
!essaned by the adnisssinn that the Russians re-
tired out of reach of the guns from The ENGLISH
ships and that the Turks did not pursue them
At Sevastopo affairs were unchanged. Lord
Raglan is reported 10 have resigned and Lord
I,ucan had been recalled. The assault is still
talked of. The weather had moderated and the
sicre operations were progressing with vigor-
The Emperor Napoleon manifested firm dispo-
sition to proceed 10 the Crimea, where he propo-
sss to open the spring campaign on vast scale.
His desire is opposed by England and Austria and
also BY bis own ministers.
The English Cab;re: has been reconstructed
-Glaisions. Herbert and Lord Graham resign
np. I,o.d John Russell has again entered the
Cabinet. bat will proceed with his mission to the
Peace Conference The Conference was to We
opsred in few days, and hopes Of peace were
again entertained.
The Official announcement Of the alits in re-
gard to the affair at Ehpatoria is that General Ii
pandri's force of 10000 Russians with 20
guns attacked the Turks al Eupatu.ia under the
command Of Onar Pasta. The battle lasted four
hours and the Russians retired with loss Of 500
men.
Desttution in Easlard had almost reached lis
height from the combined causes Of an unusually
Severe winter; unusually dear prices ofal descTip
lions Of provisions and Inc total slagraon OF trade.
The pvor were in deporable condition. Many
Thousands Of laborers have been weeks without
focd excep, the supplies Of charity. A rot CT
two Oh three days duratGn occurred in liverpool,
and in London so'as disturbance had occurred a
raong The unemployed, but the weather having
changed shipping was arriving, which would fur
nish employment and prevent further distnr-
baace.
Still. LATzR.-The steamer Africa arrived 1t
Halifax on tho 18th with Liverpool dates 10 tie
9th inst She brings the startling and uneSpeci-
ed intelligence Of the death cfihe Emperor .fich-
oics He died at ~. Petersburg on Friday, the
2nd inst, and the fact was known in London, by
telegraph, on The evening Of The same day. No
donbl appears to have Teen entertained OF The cor
RICHNESS Of lha announcement. as il was previous
Iy known tina, the Emperor had been given up by
his physicians. Some istmatiOns are thrown cut
that his death had been caused by poison. but these
are probably founded upon the procliyity Of the
Russians to rid themselves Of their monarchs N
that way, rather than upon any facts ju5tfying the
suspicion. The intelligence had caused immense
sensation in England. but the almost immediate
departure OF the Steamer leaves US in The dark as
to what will be lis ultimate effect upon the con
tending parties. The most natural supposi;ion is
tha! it will dispose Russia to peace. the prospects
of which were already frightening in view oflhe
expected weet;ng Of the Vienna Conference
Nicholas was born on the 9th Of July. 1896, and
would have heea 50 years ot age in July next
Constantine, his sscurd son, succeeds him.
The other features of the news are of minor
Importance. From the Crimea, with the excep
lion Of sonie further particulars Of the rfpulse Of
the Russians at Eupaioria. we have nothing new.
The English ministry remains as reported BY the
Pacific. Tie Emperor Napoleon was a, Cmer,
but nothing farther was known Of his projected
Crinean expedition. Importan, political arrests
were rnmored at Paris. French frigs,e had
been lost wit. 600 soldiers on board. The Sar-
dinian Chambers had voted the suppression Of
the monasieries and nunneries.
