The Europa, at Halifax, brings news from
Europe to the 12th-of JanuaTy-three days later
The adviees are of a very important character,
revealing, as they DO, the excelleptaHasct pro
dUced in the Cabinets an )eople Of
the leading powers of { World By the
surrender Of Mason and SA8Bfto England, as
well as by the report of the mode in which it
was accomplished by the Lincoln government.
The London Posi-, the organ Of Lord Pslmerston,
acknowledges that due reparation has been
made, and intimates that the law of neutrals at
sea viii be r~econsidered. The Paris NsniteuT
officially expressed the satisfaction felt in
| France in consequence of the act, while we find
that the news produced an advance of ore per
cent. on the Bourse. The journal de St. Peers
burg, the organ Of the Russian empire, congrat-
ulates Mr.. Seward on his " upright and " intel
hgent " policy in the case, and states that the
affair viii form a starting point for a general re-
vision of the law of ~neutrals. The Russian
journalists demand that England be requested
to give q solemn guarantee that she will, in
future, respect neutrals and neutral rights.
The Paris M0niteiv, with most Of the London
journals, condemn the stone feet blockade of
Charleston or other harbOrs.
The London Times bitterly denounees Mason
and Sidel personally, and hopes that no ova-
ton shall be given to the fellows England.

The United States gunboat Tuscarora was off
southampton, with steam up, ard ready to slip
anchor at a moments notice, watching the pr
vateer Nashville, which vessel was about olsaye
the port. A very exciting time was expected,
should the pirate commander venture in the path
of commander Craven, United States navy.
1t was said that the Sumter had sailed from
Cadiz for Southampton, leaving her prisoners in
the hands of the Spaniards.
The Europa has not brought out any troops or
war material, and it wassaid that England would
not forward any more to Canada BY the Cunard
mail steamers. The movement of troops tor
North America had not abated, however, bat it
was very likely it soon would, as the London
papers were beginning to count up the cost Of
the display; aud the London Times had just IN
formed John Bull that, so far, he has spent two
millions of pounds sterling-ten milli0nssOf dol
lars-at the very least, in exhibiting his power
TO retain the colony if assailed.
No news of any movement in the army, at any
part of the theater Of war, reached headquarters
yesterday. Everything is reported quiet on the
lines OF the Potomac aud elsewhere.
a rumor was circulated in Washington yes
terdav that q battle had occurred at Bowling
Green, KY, in which the Union troops were de-
feated but there is not the least foundation for
the report, nor is it at all probable that any pOr-
ton Of our troops in Kentucky have reached
Bowling Green yet.
Our correspondents at Point Of Rocks and
Baltimore to-day furnish a highly interesting ac-

There is no official news of the Burnside ex-
petition but from rebel Journals received at
Fortress Monroe on Saturday, we receive the
information that the United States trans
port Louisiana had gone ashore and was burned

enemy.
Our Baltimore correspondent has had an IN
.erview with a gentleman who arrived at BaIti- 3
more on the Gath instant, from the South. He {
