New YORK, July %.
We have one weeks later news from
Europe. The Collins mail steamship
Atlantic, Captain West, arrived at 8
o'clock last evening. She left Liver
pool on the 18th at noon.
There was u ministerial crisis in En-
gland. 1t was caused by Lord John
Russell's shutting explanation of his
conduct at Vienna. On the 9th, Sir
Edward Bulwer Lytton was to move
that q ministry containing Lord John
Russell is unworthy of confidence. The
public expect that Lord Palmcrston
must either throw Russell overheard,
dissolve Parliament, or resign.
The British Parliament is to be pro-
rogucd on the 10th of August.
There is nothing important-nothing
new from the Crimca. Sepastopol has
again been subjected to two days hea-
Wy fire, without effect. The besiegers
were erecting immense works against
the Malakoff and Redan towers, and
the besieged were erecting equally for
mldable earthworks behind these.
Marshal Radctsky has demanded a
large and immediate reinforcement to
the garrisons of Milan, Verona and
Venice, and 10000 men are to be dis
tributed among the italian garrisons.
A letter from Trezibond of tho Oath
June, in the Moniteur, states that the
news of the death of the celebrated Cir
cassian chief, Schamyl, appeared to be
positively true.
The Emperor of Russia, it was ru-
mored in st. Petersburg, intends to go
to the South, perhaps the Crimea.
The Grand Duke Michael will, it is
thought, assume the government of Po-
land, leaving to Prince Paskicwitsch
the military command.
There are rumors of changes in the
Russian Cabinet. Prince Gortschakoff,
| it is said, will be recalled from the Cri-
mea to take the portfolio of war; and
Count Orloff is to be tho new President
of tho Council.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Globe, writing on The 18th of July
says:-
A host of silly rumors, most of them
of German fabrication, supply the place
of bona tide intelligence from Scbasto-
pol, which all expect with so much
anxiety. General Simpsons despatch
of the 9th, however, holds forth pros
pect that many days will not now pass
before news reaches us of moment
Gus character. 1t as confidently er-
Pccted that before a fortnight IS oucr,
Se6astopol aOiU be IN our hands.
The health of the Emperor of Rus
STA is said to be feeble. 1t is thought
he may abdicate in favor of his more
warlikc brother Constantine.
Immense achievements from France.
The Courier dc Marseilla of the 10th
of July says:
If we arc to judge from the prepare,
tons making at Marseillcs and Toulon
there is little doubt that our army in
the East will be soon considerably aug.
mented. We are not going to send
thither fresh reinforccments to fill UP
the void occasioncd by the war, by dis,
case and furlough. An entire army is
to be embarked, tho effective force OF
which will amount to at least $4,000
men. We had been told that the divi
sions Of Generals Renault & Courtigis
were to be detached from the camp oil
Boulognc, and sent to the Crimca.--
This may be tho case, but nothing Off
cial on the subject has yet TRANSFERRED
We have, however, been crcdibly in
formed that 10000 men of the army
of Lyons are to form part of the new
cxpeditionary corps. A portion Of those
troops have even already commenced
their movement. The brigade of Gen
Sol, consisting Of the 30th and 35tl
regiments of the line, has ere now lef
Lyons for Marseillcs, where it is OK
pccted between the 10th and 18th, fol
immediate cmbarkation. The military
authorities and the attendance are &C
lively engaged in procuring means o
conveyance for other regiments, which
arc to arrive in succession, and to en-
camp in the ncighborbood until the day
of their cmbarkation. The instructions
forwarded to Toulon arc not less press
ing. The Maritime Project has beer
ordered to prepare, before the end o
the month, sufficient number of yes
sells to transport 10000 men and con
siderable mat0riel to the seat of war.
