The arrival of the Pacific at this port yesterday,
places us In possession of seven days later intei
gence from Europe Her news is interesting. The
announcement Of the projected change Of plan in
The operations Of the Allies in the Crimea seems to
receive confirmation, from the fact of Sc ,ret ex-
pedton having been despatched in the direction OF
The Sea Of Azoff with what purpose is not known,
rs Il returned to Balaklava in few days, without
having effected anything. The operations Of the
siege itself had been rendered temporarily imprac'
ticable from the heavy rains that hsd fallen and
filed the trenches with water. General Canrobert
had resigned the chief command OF the French
troops to General Pelissier and had retained merely
the command of q division. The alleged motive of
the formers resignation was Ill health, but there
can be no doubt Of the factot mis- having been
civiIly cashiered by his MASTER
No further progress has been made In the peace
negotiations. It is certain, however, that Austria
and Prussia are drawing closer, and that both Pow
ers and consequently the whole Of the lesser German
States, will preserve strict neutrality. Austria Is
playing rather high handed psrs as the trustee Of
the common interests Of the five Powers in he
Principalities. A short time since, We had an &C
count Of barbarous outrage and murder commit
ted by an Austrian officer in Wallachia, for which
all redress was refused. We now learn that Count
Coronlni, the Austrian Commander.in-C ,ief, has
proclaimed martial law throughout both Princi-
ralties.

take in the war, she has called out the whole Of
her militia.

extended to q section Of the House of Lords. The
debate on Lord Ellenboroughs motion had drawn
forth sentiments radical enough for the lover house.
II appears that the new Spanish Minister to
Washington has not as yet been named. 1t had
been determined to await the arrival Of the next
mail from Havana before Senior Cueto's successor
should be appointed. On this subject the Journal
ass Debats Of the 18th nst has the following from
Madrid, under date Of the 11th:-" 1t is not yet
known who is to be the successor Of Senior Cueso,
the minister to the United States. What IL certain
is, that the government will not occupy itself
either with the opinions or with the political color
Of tie diplomatst that it will send to Washington"
The same journal states that it is also certain that
the Mexican government has refused to receive NJ.
Antonio Zayas, recently named Minister Plenipo
Tertiary to that republic in place of NJ Lozano. It
is not known what course the Spanish govsrnmsa.
Jalaps that he awaits orders from the government.

The Aldermsnic inquiition Into the character
and birthplace Of the Chief OF Police was resumed
yesterday, but there were oreractory witnesses
to examine the proceedings we're rather dull. The
only humorous feature In the whole affair was an
affidavit made by Mrs. Mckeeyer, from which IL ap.
