THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival Of the Steamer Asia.
AMERICAN.

The steamship Asia, with Liverpool dates to
the Sd inst, which was below New York on
Thursday night, arrived up early Friday morn
ing.
The motion of Mr.. Whitesides, in the British
Parliament. to censure the Administration for
the fall of Kars, was lost by a majority of l27.
An order has been issued by Lord Panmure,
to the county of Dublin militia, to resume the
recruiting. This appears to signify that the
military force will not be dsbanded for some
time to come.
The general appearance of the crops through
out France is described as most promising.
The most interesting feature of the business
took place after the treaty was signed and i'm
mediately previous to the breaking up of the
Conference, in the shape of an interchange of
opinions on subjects of European interest.
Count w alewski invited the assembled plenipo
tentiarles to this interchange of sentiment, and
himself went over the ground, referring to the
disturbed condition of Greece and Italy, and
recommending that suggestions to rule more
mildly should be conveyed to the Italian Gov
ernments. In this recommendation the pleni
potentiaries, more or less heartily, agreed.
Count Cavour, on behalf of Sardinia, demanded
that secular government be established in the
Roman legations, and that the Austrian troops
be withdrawn, inssmuch as their presence in
Italy disturbs the political equilibrium, and
constitutes real danger for Sardinia. This
speech led to some sharp words between the
Austrian and Sandman representatives but it
ended in nothing.
While on these subjects, Count Walewski
threw out a cunning bait to entrap the Congress
into measure of repression against the Belgian
press, but Lord Clarendon refusing, in cold
terms, to lend the influence of England to any
measure tending to check freedom of opinion,
NJ. Walewski backed out of the proposal in the
best manner he could.
The plenipotentiaries then discussed and as
scented to new declaration of maritime law,
agreeing that neutral flag shall make free
cargo, excepting contraband of war that COM
mercial cargo, except contraband of war, shall
be free even under an enemy's flag; that block
AIDES, to be respected, must be effective; and
that privateering is forever abolished. To these
important principles the plenipotentiaries gave
the adhesion of their Governments, Russia quail
flying her assent in the matter of privateering.
1t was rumored at Constantinople that there
were disturbances at Aleppo and at Damascus.
Many inhabitants of Eupatoria, especially Tar
tars, were emigrating.
Accounts from Teheren state that American
travellers were busy trying to convince the Per
sian Government of the utility of treaty with
the United States, especially under existing
circumstances.
