LATER FROM EUROPE.
THE TRENT CASE, &c.


CAPE RACE, Jan. 2S.-The City of New
York, from Liverpool Jan. 9Th, and Queens
town the 9th, arrived here to-day. The Eu-
ropa arrived at Liverpool on the 9th. Pend
ing the arrival of the Europa there a feel
ing of great suspense in England, but the funds
were but temporarily depressed. Some jour
nails argued that definite answer was not to
be expected by tbs Europa and thought the
cause of peace lost nothing by delay Others
construed the delay uniavorably
The Morning Post thought it diminished the
hopes of peace, and that the Washington gov
ernment would propose a compromise, which
would not for moment be entertained The
Times asked why the decision should be de
layed, if favorable fol peace, and said the i'm
mediate surrender of Mason and Slidell would
have been greater blow to the contederates
than victory on the Potomac, and worth
millions to the federal exchequer. The Daily
News saw nothing but peace
All journals published semi-oficial accounts
OF the proceedings OF Lord Lyons up the 23d
of December, when he had presented the for
NAL demands of the British government. An
answer was looked for by the steamer Ameri-
ca. on the 18th inst, and the cabinet had been
summoned to meet in council on the 18th.
DIR. Russell, in his correspondence to the
Washington will refuse to surrender Messrs.
Mason and Slidell. He also says that victory
over the confederate army has become polit-
zeal necessity, and that Gen. Mcclellan is be-
ing pressed on all sides to make a forward
movement.
The advices per the Europa caused an up
ward tendency in war risks at Lloyd's.
The Paris Patrie and the Pays said that the
government at Washington has offered tn re-
store Mason and SlideIl on condition that Eng
land would not recognise the southern conted-
eracy.
The London Morning Herald says that if
the Mason and SlidelI affair is settled, England
and France have an inducement on CONNER
cal grounds to recognize the well.earned indie
pendence of the confederate states, and that
unless the step is manfuy taken by ministers
at once, it is certain to be taken by parliament
on its assembling. The Daily News says that
any recognition of the confederate states is too
abhorrent to English principles, to be really a
subject for apprehension. The London Times
shows that by the beginning OF February the
squadron of Admit al Milne will number seven
line-ot-battle SHIPS thirty three trigates, TWEEN
ty-fve corvettes and sloops-ot war, and specu-
lates on what he can do Herewith.
The British parliament is summoned to as
semble on the 9th OF February, but it can be
called earlier ii the eXigencies Of the case
should demand it.
The text of the Austrian dispatch to the
government at Washington, on the Trent at
fair, dated at Vienna, Dec. 10Th, had been pub
lished. 1t fully justities the action Of Eng
land, and says that the Washington govern
ment can comply with the demands OF En-
gland without the least sacrifice of dignity.
The shipments OF ammunition to the Allan
lie squadron continued undated.
The privateer Sumter, on arriving off Cadz
with the officers and crews of three federal
merchant vessels, solicited permission to enter
the port. The American consul demanded
that the request should be refused, but it was
granted on condition that the prisoners should
be placed under the protection of Spain, and
the Sumter then entered the port without be-
ing salu.ed Ii was rumOred that the Ameri-
can consul would leave.
CANTON, Nov 30.-A coup d'etat has taken
place at Pekin. The cabinet have been I'M
prisoned and new ministry formed under
Prince Kong.
MELBOURNE, Nov. 15.-The shipments Of
gold since the last mail, amount to $4,000
ounces.
Latest via Queenstown.
QUEENSTOWN, Thursday Jan. g. The
steamship City of Washington from, New
York has arrived. The steamship Jura,
from Portland, arrived here on the Sth Both
the above steamers brought the announcement
of satisfactory adjustment Of the Trent al
fair by the surrender OF Mason and Slidell to
the custody of Lord Lyons, 1t was received
with the greatest satisfaction, but some jour
nails complain of the ungracious manner in
which, they say, the Washington cabinet pro-
ceeded. Others accord due credit tor the act
and the graceful manner with which the set.
Element was conducted. ConsoS Immediately
assumed buoyant tone, and advanced over
one per cent
The United States gunboat Tuscarora has
arrived at Southampton. 1t is supposed that
she is there for the purpose OF looking after
the pirate Nashville which remained at that
port ready for sea. The vessels destroyed

Vigilant, barque Eben Dodge, and schooner
Arcade.
