The steamship Europa from Liverpool, 18th inst

arrived al this port yesterday afternoon. Her ad
vices are one day later than those received by the
Canada. The only important feature Of the news is
nAe formal declaration of war by England against
Persia which event occurred at Calcutta on the LIST
Of November. Large forces had been despatched by
sea and land to prose ute the war; and in compare
kvely short time we may hear that AngloSaxon
civilization has taken another long stride in the East
with the usual consequences of colonization and COM
Derce. The commercial accounts by this arrival are
rslber unfavourable than otherwise.
