NEW YORK, May 1.-The Scotia arrived this
morning, with Queenstown advlces of April %.
The steamer CITY of Washington mad been out
three weeks, and nothing having been heard OF
her, heavy premiums are demanded on her.
In the House OF Commons the debate was con-
tinued ON the ReaTm bill, but division was
not likely to occur Tor several days.
Head Centre S ephens has been teasted by the
Marquis de Boissy in Paris.
Nh. Peabody is passenger on the Scotia.
He was warmly cheered on embarking at
Liverpool.
Up TO the nigh, of the Goth of April belief in
the paciiC justment OF the German difficulty
grew strong, r. The kilograms spoke of conces-
siOns by Austria, and there we're o'her rumorS
leading to conviction that peace would be
maintained. The funds in England and on the
continent had materially improved under these
lac tC influences.
The Times of the 2lst however, announced
that II had received news that on the previous
cay the Emperor of Austria and Count Mems
RI, against the advice of some of the other
ministers, resolved to withdraw Count Karol
the Austrian Ambassador, from Berlin, which
decision being made known to the Prussian
h'nl6t in Vienna, it expected he would
depart inn eu.atey. 1t is added, in exclamation,
that Count MensdoIf, on receiving the PrussIan
answer Of the l. To, telee raphed to Berlin repe-
tion OF the Austrian demand OF the 7th and re.
ceved a iresh refusal on the 14th; hence a coun-
Gil was held and bold course adopted.
The Times believes this action is to be fol-
lowed by a significant military movement viz,
the withdrawal of the Austrian troops from
Holstein, where they are held in check by the
superior Prussian forces. This would enable
Austria to assume the offensive, and the Times
saws the Abandonment of Holstein by Austria
will be regarded as AN act in anticipation OF
war, and will cause general alarm. 1t does
not, however, consider the war inevitable
There is great activity reported in tne Aus
TRAN navy, all vessels beng prepared Tor SER

turbances in Spain aud Jassy.
