EURopE.-We have news from Europe, b

| the steamship China, to the 18th INST. The
most important piece Of intelligence IS the
| intimate alliance which the London Journals
| allege has been entered into between Austria,
Prussia and Russia, who, according TO the
London Morning Post, have leagued together
against what they call revolution bu5 what me
Post terms the cause Of constitutional Liberty.
The Post declares that ENGLAND cannot passive
" stand by and see all Europe conyulsed IN a
struggle against despoisn. 1t predicts that
the Danes will yet engage the best ald OF Eng
land, and that the hour rapidly approaches
when the voice of public opinion will dictate
TO Parliament and the Ministry the path " hlch
they must follow. The London Times asserts
that nothing can stop Austria, Prussia and
Russia from slowly but surely gliding into war,
but the action Of the Western Powers IN the
cause OF justice, international law and treaty
obligations. Russia, Austria and Prussia have
addressed autograph letters TO the Pope, joint
ly expressing hope that the tranquility OF
Italy may not he disturbed. 1t IS rumored
moreover, that Russia has undertaken TO form
corps oof one hundred and fifty thousand men
70 operate against Sweden, if the latter joins
the English and French alliance. On the
other hand, we find it stated that England and
France have agreed, or al but agreed, upon
the principles Of treaty to terminate | he war
in Denmark and maintain the peace OF Europe
Futher, that Austria has issued circular Of a
poetic tendency.
Admiral Dahlgren, who went do"n to For

on account Of the storm, was Obliged to lay TO
Of Jamestown Island during Tuesday night
The boat brought down number Of Federal
prisoners, but did not bring down the remains
Of COL Dahlgren, Col. Ould sending verbal
message that the man who buried the body of
COL D. could not be found IN time to get 1t
ready for transportation but that 1t would be
sent down as soon as possible.
Tn the British House Of Commons recently,
the Attorney General, IN answer to question
nrononnled to him, stated that Confederate
vessels have exactly the same right to visit and
search and capture British vessels, carrying
contraband Of war, that the Federal vessels
have. He intimated that neither OF them Is
entitled to make any such capture, except tor
the purpose Of taking the ship for adjudication
before a prze court, but as both belligerents
mere excluded fron bringing their prizes into
neutral ports, they must do the best they ooalo
under the adverse circumstances III "nlc''
they are placed. >.
