The United States steamship Pacific, Capt. Nye, from Liverpool, arrived on Monday morning at 6½ o'clock.
The Arabia arrived at Liverpool on Sunday the 9th at 7 o'clock morning.
The news is ominous though indefinite, Austria being strongly suspected of playing the game of Russia. There has been no fighting of any importance.
Continental advices of the week regarding the prospects of the harvest have been highly satisfactory. Throughout Italy, including Sardinia and Sicily, great abundance prevails. In Egypt also, the yield is heavy, while there will likewise be a large export from Algeria. In almost all the countries of Europe the high prices of last year appear to have led to an increased extent of cultivation. Throughout Britain there is at least an average yield, although the season is backward.
MORE AUSTRIAN NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA.
Telegraphic dispatches from Vienna of the 8th and 9th state that unsatisfactory as are the Russian propositions brought by prince Gorchakoff, (brother of the General) to Vienna, the Austrian Government has returned to the work of negotiation. Gorchakoff had an audience of the Austrian Emperor on the 8th. It is not expected that the negotiations can enter into their next phase under a fortnight. Meanwhile Austria undertakes not to enter the Turkish Principalities. The Czar, however, is marching fresh troops into Moldavia.
It is rumored that Prussia influenced Austria to defer the advance of the Austrian army into Wallachia.
It is telegraphed from Berlin that Count Koenigsmark will be the bearer of a Prussian note and will proceed at once to Vienna. Prussia, in this document, invites Austria to join the Cabinet of Berlin in proposing fresh negotiations for the re-establishment of peace.
The Morning Post says that, according to Berlin letters, Col. Manteuffel was to leave Berlin for London on a mission, the object of which is to conciliate the opposition that has shown itself to a renewal of negotiations. It is added that the Czar, if a renewal should be agreed to, would even abandon the line of the Sereth, and withdraw all the Russian troops into his own territory.
FROM THE DANUBE.
It seems that the Russians are in no haste to evacuate Wallachia, consequently the Austrian troops have received orders not to cross the frontier into Little Wallachia. From the Aluta downward the left bank of the river is still occupied by the Russians, who are busy erecting batteries on the Transylvanian frontier at Tekutch Piatra, and Okan, in Moldavia. The Austrian steamer Orpad, which left Orsova for Rustchuk on the 3d inst., could proceed no further than Sistova, as the Russians were still at Zimnitza and Horova. As the steamer returned the Cossacks at Flamanda fired into her.
The French and English troops were continuing to concentrate themselves between Varna and Shumla, with their advanced posts at Sarigheul. On 22d June the allied force arrived numbered 50,000 men, and the division of Gen. Forey and about 4,000 English left at Gallipoli were still to come up.
The general movement of the Russian armies from north to south is in consequence of an order recently given by the Czar, who has little to fear this year for his Baltic provinces, as it is now evident that the French forces assembling at St. Omer cannot be embarked before August, consequently they could not be in fighting order on the Baltic coast before October, which will be too late to commence a campaign. Prussia has therefore been able to remove her armies from the Baltic provinces and Lithuania, and to concentrate them in Podolia and on the Pruth, with their front toward Turkey and Austria. The troops ordered to the south take their way partly by Warsaw and Lublin, and partly through Lithuania and Volhynia, and are concentrated on the Pruth and in the neighborhood of Kamienitz—a spot which, in a strategistic point of view, is extremely advantageous. The reserve is posted at Kamienitz, in the form of a semicircle, and as roads branch off in all directions, re-enforcements can easily be sent to any part of the theatre of war. Kamienitz is also the point of operations for the armies that now menace Austria.
ASIA.
From Asia nothing, excepting a confirmation of the recent Turkish defeat.
According to the tenor of the news from Circassia, the new Russian Governor may look to be soon relieved of his duties. The Turks will soon have a powerful ally in the field. The union of all the Circassian tribes against the common enemy is rapidly going on. Already Schamyl hangs on the slopes of the Caucasus with 30,000 men. The Russians are preparing to defend Tiflis, the capital of their Government, against the expected attack. The mountain tribes concentrated by Schamyl have entered an entrenched camp between the rivers Kur and Jori, and their incursions already extend to the immediate neighborhood of the Russian headquarters.
SPAIN.
From Madrid, July 7, a dispatch says that the insurgents have evacuated Aranjuez, and directed their march toward Estremadura. The outposts of the royal troops are at Villa Seguel. The column sent in pursuit of the rebels is commanded by the Minister of War. One hundred men and six officers of the regiment of the Princesa had left the insurgent ranks and laid down their arms at Toledo. Madrid and the provinces are tranquil.
Another dispatch of the same date announces the entry of the royal troops into Aranjuez. It is remarkable, however, that the insurgents should have208maintained themselves so close to the capital now for eight or ten days. Much depends upon the first encounter of the Queen's troops with the insurrectionary force. The people may be, and in places probably are, in favor of the movement, but it must be remembered that the people are without arms, and that the National Guard has long ceased to exist.
