NJ. of Feb. Is, has arrived at New York.
Great Britain.
In the House of Lords Feb. II, the state of
affairs in the Ionian islands claimed attention.
In the House of Commons Mr. Levi took
his seat for Galway, and MIR. Solomons for

ing to the Jewish customs.

bill to sweep away all legal distinctions be-
tween newspapers and other publications
The war steamer Orion for the safety of

Berehayen, all well.
France.
The article for which La Presse received
warning, is precisely ofthe same tenor as those
which it had been publishing for weeks, and
the general supposition was, that the measure
was taken on the representation of the Aus
trian Ambassador The warning had a good
effect on the Bourse.
The late disastrous failures at Orleans are
said to extend to 12000,0 900 francs.
M. de Lesseps left Paris on the 10Th for
Alexandria for the express purpose of COM
mencing the SueZ canal
Sardinia.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times asserts, on trustworthy ground that the
King of Sardinia is determined on making an
attempt todrive out the Austrians, with the OBJ
ject of constituting for himself kingdom
strong enough to resist Austria on the one
hand and France on the other, if need be-
and it will comprise Venice and at least r.
100000 subjects
An absolute certainty is felt at the Court of
Turin, that France will help Piedmont against
Austria, and that Russia will be with him pas
sively if Austria be left to fight alone, but ac-
lively and openly if any other power assists
Austria. England and Prussia are expected
to be neutral The above is asserted to be the
deliberate plan Of the King ii Sardinia and his
Cabinet, and nothing but the withdrawal of
France will divert them from it.
General Intelligence.
The news from the Danubian principalities
is considered of a serious character, and in
that quarter which may be more difficult to
deal with than the affairs of Italy.
The Liverpool Times thus summarizes the
news The news is to-day important The
war in Dude is over, the forts have been de-
stroyed, and four hundred thousand stand of
arms have been surrendered. The Begun and
Mana Sahib are supposed to have fed, with
their followers, into Nepard Tantia Topee
has suffered three successive defeats and, in
all directions the remnant rebels have been de-
cimated. The Sultan is angry with the peo-
pie Of the Danubian prncipalities, and has a
tolerably large body of soldiers on his own
side OF the river, but he knows better than to
commence hostilities, and therefore appeals to a
conference Of the great powers conference
is shortly to take place at Paris.
There is a dark spot in the east There is,
We are told, the possibility of a Turkish and
Austrian army being marched into the Danu-
bian principaities, in order to prevent the
Roumains from being united people under
Prince Couza, their universally elected Hospo-
dar. France, Russia and Piedmont will OBJ
ject to this, and England will probably support
Austria and Turkey.
The continental news again grows warlike.
If the Emperor of the French is pacific his
cousin, Prince Napoleon is decidedly warlike.
The consequence is marked division in the
policy of the empire. The Presse had an ar
tice which alarmed the Council, and it was
only after warm discussion that warning
was given. The Prince protested against the
proceedings. The Emperor it is said, is desi
rous of emulating his uncle, and tempting
danger in the field of fight, and possibly Sar-
DINA thinks he will, for, i'll Piedmont, the
Court is for passage of arms with Austria.
There lies the danger, for Piedmont by
sudden movement, can inaugnrate European
war. Austria, however, is courteous towards
France.
The Paris correspondent Of the Herald states
that the article in the Presse which led to the
warning being given, contains the following
passage:
'Italy does not rely on her own unaided eff
forts to throw off the yoke of her oppressors.
She invokes the cooperation of generous ma
tons Ought we not to welcome with graft
tude, the opportunity of putting a termination
to the anxiety which torments Europe Aus
tria does not only raise her head everywhere
in Italy, but also elsewhere. Would not a war
which would deliver us from this nightmare,
be blessed above all other wars Such, we
believe, is the war preparing in Italy"
The correspondent of the Herald says the
warning reached the Preese while it was on
the printing machine, and as it contained an
other warlike article, still more violent this
had to be taken out, and the journal did not
appear till 81 o'clock ?. M.
1t was reported in Paris that Baron Hubner
the Austrian Minister threatened to demand
his passports if he did not obtain satisfaction
on account of the above articles, and that the
proposal to give the Presse warning, led to a
violent discussion in the Cabinet Council, it
being strenuously opposed by Prince Napo-
leon.
