LATER From EUROPE

The steamer Bremen, from Southampton,
England, June 18th, arrived at New York on
Sunday evening Her news is full of interest,
though recording no new battle in Italy,
No more fighting had occurred. The Austri-
ans, instead Of making a stand at Lodi, as was
threatened by the previous news, have deserted
that place, and all the points on the river, and
retreated TO the other side. No reliable account
OF their purposes is given but their continued
retreat to Mantua and the line of the Adige now
seems both natural and inevitable. 1t already
reported that their headquarters are located at
Mantua This would be the entire abandonment
OF the Lombardian provinces. In passing beyond
the Adda, the Austrians DESTROYED the bridges.
and evacuated Piacenza, Pavia, Ladi, Bologna
and Meona. Before leaving Piacenza, they blew
up It's citadeli Tie allied troops Immediately en-
tered the town, invited by the people, and found
great quantity of arms, ammunition and proyis-
ions belonging to the Austrian army.
In leaving Bologna, on the 4th, the Austrians
took the direction Of Modena, or TO the south,
instead of the east, towards Mantua. The Aus
trians have been reinforced at Bresceelo, vii
lagc of Modena. Another dispatch saws that in
returning from Bologna and Meona, they went
in the direction of Feuara, which is east Of Mo-
dena, and northeast from Mantua An official
Austrian dispatch announces that the seat of
the chief government authorities of Lombardy
has been transferred TO Mantua. As the Aus
trians retreat, the people throw up the flag of
independence, and give in joyful adhesion to
the allied cause.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says there are rumors in military circles
that the emperor's return TO paris may be looked
for soon, and that perhaps Marshal Pelissier
will get the command in chief of the army of
Italy.
The anticipated change in the British ministry
has taken place, and Palmerston is again at the
head Of the government as premier, with Lord
John Russell as foreign secretary The parlia-
mentary vote Of censure having left no choice to
the Derby ministry, they placed their resignation
IN the hands of the queen. Lord Granville was at
hrst invited by the queen to form an adminstra-
ton, with fair representation of all sections of
the liberal party. Lord Granville called upon
Palmerston, who consented to act under him as
prime minister, but Russell was disposed to insist
upon conditions which would render cooperation
impossible, and Granville therefore resigned the
attempt to form government. The queen then
called upon Palmerston to undertake il, who sue
cecded better in his negotiations with Russell,
and the new cabinet was constituted The queen
Intends to confer upon the retiring premier,
Derby, the order of the garter, and as there is
no garter vacant, will summons an extraordina-
ry chapter for that purpose. She will also con-
fer the grand cross Of the Bath on Lord Mains
bury and Sir John Packington, other prominent
members of the kicked out ministry.
Prince Metternich, SO long the prime minister
of Austria, died on the 10th. He has been
broken down for some years; but for near half
a century he stood at the head of the diplomats
and civilians of Europe.
LATER.-The Royal Mail steamship .4rabia,
from Liverpool on Saturday, the 18th inst, with
three days later news from Europe, arrived at
Halifax at noon Tuesday, but owing TO the
scandalous Geographic arrangements in Nova
Scotia, the public were kept in ignorance of her
advices, while they were being made use of by
spectators. We are able this morning to pub
fish but brief summary of the leading features
of her intelligence, which is of the highest i'm
portance. The Austrian forces in Lombardy
were still in full retreat, and were leaving the
line of the River Oglio, to take up, as was sup
posed a position behind the Mincio. The
French and Sandman troops were in rapid pur-
suit, and were being concentrated for a decisive
attack. Another great battle was anticipated
within week, and it was also thought probable
that a naval demonstration would be made in
the Adriatic by the French fleet. Lord PALM
ERsToN's Combination Cabinet had been an
nounced, and includes, in addition to Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, the Hon. w. +. GLADSTONE, the Earl
of ELGIN, RICHARD Golden, MILNER GIBSON,
and the Earl GRANVILLE.
