By the arrival of the steamship Granada at New
Orleans, we have important news from Central Anne
RIGA and our Pacific Territories 1t is reported that
the Costa Rican invaders of Nicaragua had evacu-
ated the country. They bitterly complain of having
been deceived. Where they expected to find popu-
lation ready to receive them with open arms, they
met with an unyielding foe. The loss of the Costa
Mcans at the battle of Riyas amounted to six hun
dred and fifty in killed and wounded. Walker lost
about one hundred men. In California the markets
were without change. The Illinois, on her way to
this port, has nearly two millions of treasure on
freight. In Manposa county the Americans had
killed twenty Mexicans and Chans and ordered
all the Chinese, Mexicans, Peruvians and Chilians
to leave The pretext for this atrocious conduct was
that several Americans had been murdered by the
foreigners. The Indian war in Oregon and Wash
ngon continued, and the savages had been defeated
in several battles. There is great complaint among
the troops of the neglect of the Commssariat de-
partment-
By the arrival of the Baltic we have four DAYS
later intelligence from Europe. Her news is int
resting. From Constantinople we have the report
Of treaty having been concluded between Persia
and the United States, which the European papers
have bungGngy construed into a treaty Of defensive
alliance. treaty of amity and commerce is the
only compact which we shall have occasion now or
at any time to contract with that distant Power. The
Italian question continues to excite good deal of
attention in Europe. There are evidently troubles
brewing in Italy, of which Sardinia is pre-
pairing to take advantage The relations OF
shat country and Austria are about as bad
as they can be short Of actual rupture. The
nomination Of Count de Cavour to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs is regarded as an indication that
Sardinia is about to place herself at the head of the
Italian liberals The Austrian troops have begun
to evacuate the Prncipalities. A portion of them
viii, however, remain for some time to come. It is
said that the Russians will shortly commence
another campaign against the Circassians. The
affair OF the Belgian press will be amicably set
tied between the French and Belgian governments.
Measures will, however, be taken to repress the
publication Of appeals to assassination and all indie
feasible abuses of the same kind. In protocol
signed at Copenhagen on the 9th inst, Russia and
Sweden formally adhered to the mode of capitalzing
the Sound dues proposed by the DANISH government.
Our Paris correspondence will be found to contain
some interesting news in regard to the affairs of
Spain. The London Times has an article on the
forbearance displayed by the English government
on the enlistment dispute, and the unreasonable
ness of Mr.. Marcy in demanding the recall Of Mr.
Champion.

Our advices from Australia, by way Of England,
are dated Adelaide 10Th, Sydney 10th, and Mel.
bourne 25th of February. Some fresh discoveries
had been made at Ophir Creek, and the opinion
prevailed that Ophir was one large and rich gold
field. Gold had advanced in price. 1t stood at
f3 1885, 3D. per ounce. This had caused a
large quantity TO be released from deposit in
the camps at the fields. The quantity of gold
