Foreign News.
BY the arrival of the City of Washing
ton at Philadelphia, we have four days
later news from Europe.~ The news is
important.
1t is stated that it has been agreed be-
tween England, Austria, and the Porte;
that the occupation of the Black Sea and
the Principalities shall be Prolonged
The influence of Russia in the latter was
reported to be daily increasing The ulti-
matum of England has been forwarded to
Persia; and the Persian besieging army of
Herat had taken possession of that city,
and were fortifying it.
The financial accounts both from Lon
don and Paris continue unfavorable
There seems to be possibility that the
friendly relations, at present existing be-
tween England and France, may be dis
turbed. The French official papers init
mate that the comments of English Jour
mails upon the French soil have been very
distasteful and offensive to the Emperor.
and strongly hint that the matter is becom-
ngserious.
The London papers have construed this
paragraph of the Moniteur into me-
mace, and irate replies have been made
by the Times and Morning Post, the
English organs of the government.
Public rumor no longer hesitates to say
that an Anglo-Austrian alliance is neces-
sary to counteract the threatening alliance
between Russia and France.
