LATER FROM EUROPE.

New YORK, Feb 10. Steamship Arabia. from
Liverpool 4th inst, has arrived.
GREAT BRITAM.-The most imnortant nort;oc
of the proceedings of the second and tbird has
been published, viz the refusal of Lord ,John
Russell to lay before the House the correspond.

eminent on minor question.
Lord John Russell defended the British Cor-

the Moors and asserted that he had nnTsned

Dr. Todd, the eminent physician and pbvsi.
ologist, is dead.
FRANcE.-The Patrie pronounces false the
statement of an approaching departure of tho
French troops from Rome.
The same journal says it appears certain that
the question of annexation to Central Italv will
be subordinate to the result Of universal suf.
frage. All the powers are agreed as to the pro.
priety of that measure, the early application of
which will positively make known the state of
public opinion in Italy.
The French army is to be considerably re-
duced, and the policy of the Emperor tends more
than ever towards peace.
The London Morning Post, which has the
credit of being the organ of Lord Palmerston.
has conspicuous editorial upon the policy of
England and France on the Italian question. It
says ''We announced at the beginning of the
year that virtual alliance had been effected be-
tween England and France for the settlement of
Italian affairs. We expressly stated that the
two governments bound themselves by no treaty..
but that agreement was the result Of the force
of circumstances and the dictation of public
opinion"
This alliance, every day drawn closer, already
begins to produce evident and tangible conse-
qnences. 1t is now formally determined that
no intervention shall take place IN italy, and
that the people shall be left to their own de-
vices. 1t is therefore agreed that the people of
Central Italy shall dispose of themselves. Fresh
elections are to be held, and the Assemblies re-
sulting from popular choice, are free to decree
the annexation Of their constituents to the Sar-
dnian kingdom.
The French troops are to be withdrawn from
Northern Italy and from Rome. at an early op-
portunity. 1t is no secret that Austria, hav-
ing regard to the Western allies and her own
serious difficulties, has given up all hope of re-
trieving her position and influence in Italy, and
not only sheathes her sword, but puts 1t aside.
An attempt will be made to induce her to grant
reforms IN Venetia, of which she is still left
mistress"
The Post adds that the stubbornness of the
Pope bids fair to deprive him of the whole of
his temporalities. Naples groans under heav.
Ter tyranny than ever, and the cries of Venice
are loud enough to strike our ears, however we
may shut them.
The Italian question, then, being likely to
take still larger proportions, our best, safest
and most benefcent policy is that line of strict
duty by which, this time last year, we might
have prevented war, and by which we may now
guaranty the peace of Europe. That line is,
No foreign intervention, but Italy for the Ital-
ians
Acknowledgements had suddenly disappeared
from London, and it was thought he had gone
to Hungary.
An address Of the Hungarian Protestant AS
ISOLATION says the national movement will re-
sembIe an avalanche Hungary will detach
herself from Austria at the first opportunity.
Austria is said to be directing more troops
towards the Tyrol, Venice and Hungary.
The Globes Paris correspondent says it was
generally understood that France and England
were about to make joint summons to Austria
to desist from sending troops into the marshes
Ot Ancena, and to evacuate Venctia at the
earliest period, and accept such indemnity as
Italy lis now ready to offer.
SPAIN.-Another corps was being got ready
for Morocco, to be commanded by Concha.
Reliable accounts say that the Moorish regu-
lar army had not yet been brought out. The
division is said to number over 10000 disciplin-
ed troops, waiting for great battle. The OBJ.
Jet of the Moors was to draw the Spaniards in
to the interior.
