From Europe.

to the 10Th Of June
Probably the most important news by
these arrivals is the change which has ia
ken place in the British Ministry. Not
understanding the claim that the late cleo
tons Tor new parliament had gone IA.
vorably to the government no sooner had
the new parliament assembled than a res
olution of want of confidence" in the
Derby ministry was proposed, and a test
| vote showed u majority in its favor The
Ministry, therefore, at once rendered their
resignation. The Queen then summoned
| Lord Granville, who however, was unable
to form a new Ministry; and Lord Pal
| merston was sent for, with view of form.
ing ministry by his union with Granville.
But this was found inpracticable. The
business was then wholly turned over to
Palmerston, who sought an interview with
Russell, and finding him willing to serve
under him (Palmerston,) the new minis
try was forthwith constructed as follows
Viscoant Palmerston, first Lord of the
Treasury; Hon. w. E. Gladstone, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer; Lord John Rus
sell, Secretary of State for the Foreign
Department; Duke of Newcastle, Secre-
tary Of State for the Colonies; Hon. Sid
ney Herbert, Secretary Of State for the
War Department.; Hon Chas Wood, Sec
rotary OF State to the India Post Depart
mcnt; Duke OF Somerset, Lord of Admit
rally; Lord Campbell, the Lord Chancel-
lor; Earl of Granville, President of the
Council; Duke of Argyle, Lord Privy Seal
Earl OF Englin, Postmaster General; Hon
Richard Golden, President of the Board
of Trade; Hon. j. Edward Cardwell. First
Commissioner of the Board of Public
Wor ks; Hon. j. Miner Gibson, President
OF the the Poor Law Board Hon. Sir
George Grey, Chancellor OF the Duchv of
Lancaster lion. Sir A. Cockbrn. sue
ceeds Lord Campbell as Lord Chief JUS
tice.
This change in the British Ministry is
regarded as the more important because
the Derby ministry were known to have
been determined To maintain the position
OF armed neutrality on the part of Eng
land i'll the present commissions on the
continent, with a leaning rather in favor
OF Austria; while both Palmerston and
Russell are known to be ardent friends of
Italy, and think Austria, having been fair
" whipped out, ought to give up beaten
and surrender her Italian possessions. In
this view, the following paragraph from the
London Iimcs (which is always the organ
OF the ministry u, c&se) is regarded as of
the utmost Importance. The London
L, r. l.
sell says:
Both sec in France better agent for
the reorganization Of Italy and for the
erection Of that Federal Union, which is
all the unity possible under existing cir
Were that question to be
confined to the present state of affairs. the
policy to be pursued mi ght be stated in a
sentence: - Austria is flying homeward-
France and Sardinia are pursuing her across
the Adda--N enlce Is about to be attacked
on the East and on the South
the whole Peninsula is rising against her,
and expelling her allies and garrisons."
The only advice to be given is, that Aus
trla should accommodate herself to these !
PAINFUL circumstances, just as England adj /
united the independence OF the United
States, and as France has twice submitted
to the dIctation of the invaders There /
can be no glory gained by stubborn and
even victorious resistance 10 the just claims
OF great nation, and it is unwise TO wage
a war where even military success incrirs
moral opprobrium. Nodoubt this and sim |
liar considerations viii be in due time urc-
ed upon Austria by the two ministers Who |
have undertaken to divide the responsible /
t. Of our foreign relations"
From the scat of war the news is i'm. |
portant, although there are no accounts of /
new battles. Austria, since the battle of !
Magenta, has been rapidly withdrawing
all her forces from Italian ground and Ia |
king position behind her own intrench-
ncnts. Placenza she abandoned so pre-
as to leave her provisions and
ammunition behind The Austrian head
quarters will henceforth be at Mantua
on the other hand, has advanced |
hls head quarters to Gorgongola. Austria /
however, is not idle, and immense rein
iorccmentS are moving towards the Italian |
frontier The Emperor will take command |
IN person of the army. ~
France, on the other hand, is also pour
nS large re-lntorcements into Italy, her /
object being to beseige the Austrians in |
Their tortresses. The next series of oper-
atoms Will be simultaneously commenced |
by sea and land.
But the most important news connected |
with the war is the mobilization Quitting
in motion) of the Prussian army. The |
London Herald publishes a telegram from |
Berlin, saying: six Prtlssian corps d |
arinic have been modified OF course this |
means war. The advent OF Lord Palmer
stons ministry has evidently induced her |
to take tins decisive step and Join Austria /
The English people will now perceive the /
truth OF what we before asserted, that the |
cost OF Derby government alone preserved |
Europe from being enyelopcd in a general |

baidi Is reported. The latter had 1000 |
troops and cannon, and was repulsed at /
Castinidas. He at latest accounts occupied |
Bergamo, and threatened southern Tyrol. |

MIR. DOUGLAS on THE PREsIDENCY.-Mr. |
Douglas has issued his proclamation of
policy for the Charleston convention. 1t
contains nothing to startle his friends,
nothing to clate his enemies. In tone and
style it is certainly a very happy evasion
