European News by Steamer.

New YORK, July 21.-The European steamers
bring the news that the Queen of Prussia had ar,
rived at Paris.
Earl Derby, in the House Of Lords, announcing
the execution Of Macmillan, said he shared in the
feelings Of all their lordships in regard to this un-
necessary, cruel and barbarous murder, which
must have excited sorrow in every country-a
murder purely gratuitous, which, far from pro-
ducng any beneficial effects, would only add to
the miseries Of Mexico. He declined stating the
intentions Of his Government.
Lord Stratford, Of Redcliffe, said that he would
press the resolution on the subject.
In the Corps Legislatif NJ. Thier said that tue
Mexican expedition had been without good results
to France, and The prestige of her greatness was
lost in America and compromised in Europe.
Jules Favre said the French troops should have
brought Macmillan away, and thus gave France
from the stain Of blood which will rest upon her.
In the Senate NJ. Rougher said the French did
everything they could to induce Macmillan to
come away.
Two thousand Belgian volunteers arrived in
England in six steamers.
Turkey claims that nearly all the District OF
Sphoka have vi lded.
The Owl says no Intervention Of European
powers will occur in consequence of the execution
Of Macmillan.
The steamer Nebraska ran down fishing boat
anchored ten miles off Cork harbor. or crew oi
seven, five were lost.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10, 1857.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Libe'te writes that the
denunciation of the death penalty against the au-
thors Of the candestine political journals in Spain
has had no other effect than to increase their viru-
lence and their popularity. They are read and
quoted in all circles. A remarkable feature of the
present crisis is that the attacks Of tho writer's
and public feeling are not, as formerly, directed
against the ministry alone. No one could be hated
more thoroughly than NARyEz, bnt the Queen
shares largely in his unpopularity and the last
number of the Relanpago contained an attack
upon her, which ono can hardly hsiieve the pro-
duct Of Spanish pen.
