LATER FROM EUROPE.

The Arabia, which left Liverpool March II,
arrived at New York Friday morning The
news by the previous arrival was to the 18th.
The Arabia brings intelligence in which there
are some features OF considerable interest
The SAVOY QUEsTIoN-Sardinia is about
to cede Savoy and Nice by treaty to France
France will then counsel the population as to
whether they choose annexation to France or
a separate INDEPENDENCE. II they select the
latter, then Savoy will be constituted an indie
pendent state. If the former, the result will
be communicated to the great powers In
case OF serious disapproval and opposition on
tine part OF the European states-which, how
ever, is not ticipated-France would proba-
bly, consent to the establishment of Savoy as
an independent state. What is positive is
that France will never consent, under any cir
cumstance, to the retention of what are called
the French slopes of the Alps by Sar.
DINA, enlarged, as she will be- to a DOW
er interior only to Prussia. The London
Daily News Of the 18th says that if the state
ment respecting the mode of ceedng Savoy
be correct, the event will be more serious IN
Its ultimate political consequences than any
which has occurred since the fall of the great
Napoleon llenceforth not even the most san
gulne will be able to believe in the maintain
ance of peace. Europe has to reckon with a
power which tramples upon the most sacred
rights, and which has cast off respect for
everything but material force. Sooner or later
Europe will find itself compelled in self de-
fence to confine this power within limits of
law. The Herald uses the same language.
The British government has received dis
patches from France declaring the annexation
Of Savoy absolutely necessary but stating
that the feelings of the Savoyards will be con-
suited before decisive measures are taken.
Lord John Russell says the views of England
will be forthwith embodied in a dispatch and
laid before Parliament. Some English jour.
nails are getting fierce with Napoleon on the
Savoy question, which will be settled by treaty
between France and Sardinia before the Savoy
ards are consulted. Two regiments of dra-
goons, CHARTERED at Lyons, have received
marching orders. They are to proceed to
Chambrey the capital of Savoy. A regiment
of cuirassiers has left Turin to be ready to ell
ter Tuscany and proceed to Florence as soon
as the King of Sardinia accepts the annexation.
Other troops have left their quarters to be
ready to enter the Romagna.
SARDINIA AND ITALY.-The full returns of
the voting in Italy are Overwhelmingly in IA
vor of annexation to Sardinia. The vote in
Tuscany was 500, 900 for annexation, and 15,.
OOU lOr Il Separate hlHSuOln. NO steps are
taken yet. The Paris correspondent of the
London Times says it is certain the order to
the French army in Lombardy, to be ready to
march at a moments notice, had been counter
manded. The same correspondent says, an
autograph letter from Emperor Napoleon,
couched in angry style, had reached King
| Victor Emanuel. The emperor advises the
| king not to accept Tuscany in his own name,
Notwithstanding the recent test of universal
house for Tuscany. According to the same
report he is debarred from occupying the Ro-
magma which may be governed by vicar,
acceptable to the pope As the Sandman gov.
eminent declared in advance its acceptance OF
| the result OF voting, rumor was current that
the Piedmontese troops would forthwith enter
Tuscany. Another rumor was current that
Prince Humbert, eldest son of the king OF Sar-
DINA, would be proposed for the crown OF
Tuscany. Gen. Fanti has just organized the
army into four corps, each to be composed o
three divisions, two Piedmontese and the thirC
of Central Italy. The pope's second warning
that which Immediately precedes eXcommuni
cation, has been sent to Turin. After a certain
interval the bill of communication agains
Victor Emanuel will be issued.
GREAT BRITAIN.-In the House of Lords
on the 10th, the state of Naples was debated
and the Duke of Somerset said that protection
would be afforded to political refugees VIII,
might seek for it on board the British nen-ot
war in the Bay of Naples. In the House o
Commons, Mr.. Halliburton asked if the atten
ton of government had been directed to tn
fact that the Island of St. Perry, near New
foundland, had been fortified by the FrencI
, government. Lord John Russell made som
/ explanations in regard to the Chinese exped
ton. He admitted that it was not desrabl
, to proceed to Pekin, but it would be unwis
to say it should not be done. If their term
S were refused, an indemnity would be demand
ed; and if not accepted before the forces al
rived, it would be insisted upon.
