The News.

by the arrival yesterday of the Hammonia at this
port and the Hungarian at Quebec, We have one
days later news from Europe The aspect of affairs
at the seat of war was not changed. Very heavy
rains with serious rising of the river Pc. made the
country unpleasant to the troops, and some of the
military works of the Austrians were damaged by
the water NAPOLEON was in Alessaudria, 10
hourly consultation with his generals. The Aus
trian troops had made no movement from which

ter could influence The policy of England very fave
rably towards him. In this they were disappoint
ed. and his enemies at court made it an efficient
weapon against him, at the time advising an
official application so the Car for the good WILL at
least of Russia. This was refused so long as Buol
ror, still holding in mind that Buol had been at
pains to write his congratulations TO the Emperor
Napoleon whenever the first report-a conard-of
lie fall of Sehastopol reached Vienna. After the
Russian intimation of dislike wa- known to Francis
Joseph, Count Buol gave up his place; and il is now
augured that very friendly feeling. which may
neutraize the French interest completely, will be
generated between the courts of Vienna aud st.
