ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER PACIFIC

The steamship PaciRc, with Liverpool dates
to the Sd instant, arrived at New York on
morning, bringing 18l passengers
The news of the week is important in one re-
spsct.
Excited by series Of editorials in the Lon.
don Times, the public mind of Britain has been
war with the United States The Times
stated that with reference to the recruiting
difficulty s'the British Government had dis
PLAYED a most commendable spirit of forbear-
ance and moderation, while the proceedings Of
the Government Of the United States disclosed
q desire to force a quarrel-the language and
conduct of the American Government is extra
ordinary-and recklessly urging matters to an
extremity! To the demands of the United
States the British Government has returned a
temperate but dignifed reply, and has second
ed its diplomacy by Strengthening its West
India feet with the ships that have arrived
from the Baltic. In this position affairs now
stand.''
On Friday evening, the I'd instant, the Liver
pool Post issued an extra, saying:
We have to thank his Excellency, Mr..
Buchanan, for his courtesy in favoring US by
telegraphipg the following explicit contradic-
ton to our Liverpool agent, in reply to an in
quiry by that gentleman as to the truth of the
rumor
LONDON, Night of Nov 2-The American
Minister to Agent Of the Associated Press,
Minister has demanded his passport from the
British Government. There is no founaat,o.
for such q ''report."
THE WAR.
The intelligence from the seat Of war con-
tains little that is really news. Correspond
ence is to hand detailing the capture of Kin
burn and the forced destruction of the fort af
Otchakoff. Some allied ships-of-war attempt
ed to enter both the Dneieper and Bug, but
retired after making reconnaissance. 1t is
known that the Russian Army Of Reserve, in
| tended for the defence of Odessa, and for re-
| enforcement of the army in the Crimea, is sta
toned at Nicolaieff. A large Russian force
was marched to Odessa when the allied fleets
were seen sailing thitherward; and, On their
| withdrawal, was marched back as speedily to
| Nicolaieff. Although, since the reduction of
| Kinburn and Otchakoff, land force of the
Allies may advance on Nicolaieff, ad vices from
the spot say it is questionable whether suoh
an enterprise is thought of at this late season
| Of the year. The tactics Of the allied COM
| manders seem directed rather to expose the
enemy to the destructive winter, and to cut
| off his retreat, than to offer open battle There
is general opinion that the fleets have en-
tered the Gulf of Perekop. At Sebastopol
| the Allies continue their repairs of the CITY,
and their preparations for the bombardment
of Fort Constantine and the line of works
which the Russians hold, and are strengthen.
ing on the north side A desultory cannonade
| is kept up on both sides without much effect
Large detachments were said to have been
seen withdrawing from the north forts towards
| Simpheropol, but these evidences of prepara-
| tions to eyacuate are said to have ceased. Gen.
GortschakOf lately expressed lis determine
ton to defend the Crimea at all hazards.
Now, however, the Emperor has left him to
mis- own discretion. The Allied army is at
present of considerable strength i'm cavalry.
and, as Marshal Pelissier, in his dispatch Ct

"lnaugursting new series Of operations
we may expect to see more use made Of that
arm. Previous accounts have informed US of
the advance Of the Allies from Eupatoria and
other points, until almost in the face of the
enemy. Prince Gortschakcff now Informs us
that 10 consequence Of demonstrations he made
on their flank, the Allies hays returned to
their former positions.
Some other successes, but of trifing import,
have been gained by tie fleets
IN the Crimea a belief prevailed that tho
Russians would attack the allied positions,
consequently the advaacs Of the troops was
CONTAMINATED; and the British have retura,
ed to EupatOria, the French to Baidar, and the
Turks and Sardinians to the Tchernaya. The
ALLIES are repairing and arming SebastopoI,
and they keep up desalsory fire against the
north side. The London Times, apparently
speaking from authority, says:
I'VE believe there can be no doubt that the
operations for the expulsion of the Russians
from the Crimea are abandoned for the present
---on. The main body of both armies will
