Two Days Later from Europe.

HALIFAX, July THE Asia, from Liver
pool June 27th, via Queenstown the 2Sth, ar
rived here at s A. II. day.
The custom house authorities at Liverpool
had notified the owners of the steamer Glib
ralter, late the Semmes, that unless two guns
of large calibre on board were landed, the
ship would be detained on suspicion that they
were for confederate ports.
The London Post controverts the notion
that England is bound to maintain indefinitely
the gpolicy of immobility on the American
question, and says neutrality is not the whole
duty OF tine nation. 1t fully endorses Napo-
teon's views on the American question, believ-
ing there is no chance whatever of restoring
abe Union. 1t says England is bound to bear
the obstruction ito commerce and shipping
vexation so long as it appears that she would
cause greater evils by taking action to end
them; but she is not bound to endure them
ally longer. There is no principle which
should prescribe to her for an indefinite peri
cd aAnational silence and immoblity, if by
speaking and moving she could exert a paci-
flying influence on the combatants who have
lost their independence and power of self con-
troll.
In the house of lords on the 9th, Earl Rus
sell denied the statement that Napoleon had
renewed his proposition for joint mediation
between the tederals and confederates. In
the house of commons Mr.. Roebuck stated
that he should bring on Ia motion for the rec-
ignition of the confederate states on the Both
The Vienna Journal mentions a report that
Lord Palmerston will endeavor to induce the
belligerents in America to submit their differ
ence to the king of the Belgians.
The papers are filled with speculation upon
the probabilities now growing out of the Pol
ish affairs. 1t is believed that notes of three
powers were presented to Gortschakoff on the
25th The Russian answer was anxiousy
awaited.
The general wishis that war with Russia be
avoided, though many think it inevitable. The
French government are increasing their artil-
lery by about two hundred guns, and the or
der from the war Office was very sudden. The
Morning Post says, 1--WE are far from wishing
to predict European war, but we can mag
inc a combination which would render war
rather name than a reality" and says -
eff Austria allowed a free transport of arms
and munitions Of war across her Gaican
frontier, and placed corps darmee of 60 200
men in Galicia itself, and if the Russian feet
were blockaded in the Baltic so as to keep
open the coast of Saragota, the Poles could
do the rest for themselves. There is no rea-
son why any European power should send
soluler ABROAD. IL would, In other words,
merely amount to making ring and seeing
fair play"
The London Morning Post announces the
conditions under which alone an armistice
would be consented to by the Polish national
committee. First, the armistice must extend
throughout the whole of Poland. Second,
plenipotentiary on the part of the national
government must be admitted.
Third, the national diet, composed of dele
gates from the provinces, must meet under
the quarantine, not merly of Europe, but also
OF the national army which occupies all the
provinces. If all these conditions are not
complied with, the Poles will hold out to tile
last.
