Since the departure of last steamer, events of “import great” have occurred in Europe. On Sa- vurday Jast, an extraordinary courier arrived with despatches from India, announcing that a desperate battle had taken place.im India, on the banks of the Thellum, against the Sikhs, m which twenty-six Officers, many of high rank, were killed, sixty-six more or less dangerously wounded, and 2,500 Bri- tish soldiers killed or wounded. One regiment of cavalry 18 reported to have fled, and, altogether, though claimed as a victory, it looks like a deteat. The defeated Sikhs fired twenty-one guns in honor of the battle, and mutilated the dead and dying sol- diers on the battle field. Another such disastrous victory, says a morning paper, and our Indian em- pire will totter. T enclose you a full account of the battle of Chillianwallah. To insert it here, would make my letter too long. I shall turn at once to the eflect produced by this disastrous intelligence in London and England. The first effect was atheavy fall in the funds, which receded 3 per cent. A regular gloom per- vaded the city; 1t was like a dark cloud, darken- ing the commercial horizon. On Monday, 5th, the funds opened at the closing prices of Saturday, but almost immediately after the commencemeit of business they began to de- cline, and a fall of a half per cent took place. In the middle of the day, however, a better iceling ail eg arya, and a report having been confident- lv circulated, that either Lord Spin er Sir C. Napier would torthwith proceed to take the com- mand in India, the market ultimately recovered, and closed at an advance of a quarter per cent on the first quotations. Consols began at 91} to 4, went to 91, and lett off at 91f tog; Bank Stoc’ closed 193 to 195; Reduced ‘Three per Cents, 91f to 4; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, 92j to §; Loug Anauities, 9; India Stock, inwhich a goo deal of busmess was transacted, 236 to 240; India Bonds, 53s. to 66s.; and Exchequer-bills, 413, to 438. premium. It became evident that some step was necessary te restore confidence. On Monday, Hume rose in the House, in the midst of breathless silence, and said :— Seeing her Majesty's Minieter, the First Lord of the Treacury, in his place, | wish to put to him a question which | have considerable difflonity in 80 shaping as to obtain s sufficient degree of information in reply. But, after the statements which we have had im the Guzetie of Saturday, and also in a prior Gaze/te, as to affairs in 1 the condition of that eountry can no longer be a matter of indifference t» any one who looks to the future prosperity of the empire. (Cheers trom all parts of the House) 1 should be sorry to prejudge any man, erpeciaily an absent man, but certain facts detailed in despatches received three or four weeks ago, withoutre- ference to the late most melancholy transaction appear to warrant me in asking whether euy measures have been taken by her Majes:y’s government to piace the army in /cdia under euch command as that there chail be a confidence. both in the officers and men, that the army will be put in povserion of all those advantages of militery art and science of which we, ase civilized people, ought to obtain the benetit.

Great anxiety prevails as to the intelligence of next meil There has been a great fluctuation in our funds all the past week, owing to the intelligence from Jtaly, end the nee in ihe French funds, which has heen 2 percent.

Ac- cording to the treaty of Vienna (article 100), Tus- copy falls in reversion to Austria, and this power ie determined ta interfere. es Constrtatronnel, of Thursday (yesterday), eays:— War has commenced in Italy. On the lst of March, the Austria and Modeaese troops entered The eame dey, the Florence govern! sent General Apice after this corp of 6,C00 men, prineipally Austrians, with orders to ep: them, sent a courier to Turin, te demand the ti iiate intervention of the corps of 15,000 men, oon- seutrated under Gen. Lamarmora, to enter Tuscany in conjuetton with General Apice, te drive back the Austrives. Geversl Apice is at the head of 4000 to 5000 wen. The Piedmontese ané Tuscan troops were to ferm their junction on the 24 of March, and it is prebuble that on the 34, oréth at latest, a collision tock place between them and the Austrian troeps. ‘This is only anticipating what will take place by adayortwo. Acvices sx hours laterfrom Paris throw doubt on the assertion of a collision having taken place; but this very doubt is doubtful. Aus- ‘tria has so much upon ker hands in fungary, that she 18 compelled to be tess active thin she would But old '‘Radetzky is too fond ot fight- ing toremain quiet. Austria has addressed a note to all the powers of Europe. Its ebject is to de- clare and protect the rights of reversion and suc- ceevion which Austria possesses‘over Tuscany, in virtue of the hundredth clause of'the final act ot the Congress of Vienna. It appears from the vote that the Imperial cabinet being pressed by other ques- tions of more urgent interest (the war in Huagary, and the question of Lombardy), is notable to direct as much attention to the affiirs of Tuscany as it would wish; but, in order that its silence may not be interpreted in the light of its tacitly abandoning of its rights of reversion, it thinks it necessary, in the meantime, to protest, in the most solemn man- ner, against all political events which have taken, or may take, place in Tuscany, and which can in apy may affect the rights guarantied to Austria by the final act of the Congress. The note also re- serves to Austria the right, at some future period, of taking, in case of necessity, and in concert wath the Grand Duke Leopold, all the measures requisite to maintain intact, even by the force of arms, the nights cver Tuscany rightly belonging to the two branches of the imperial tamily. On the other hand, the Austrian cabinet, while it professes its sincere wish for the continuanee of peace, has pe- remptonily declared to the mediating powers that it Marehal Radetzky be attacked, he is authorized tomarch upon Turin, and to occupy Piedmont un- taleuch time as the Sardinian government shall have paid the expenses to which Austria may have been put by the war. The French government 18 said to have sent instructions to M. Bois le Conte, to the effect, that it Charles Albert should persist im renewing the war, contrary to the friendly ad- vice of France, he must not look for auy more as- sistance trom the mediating powers, England and Franee being determined, in that case, to leave Sardmia to her fate. At Rome the republic still holds ground; the Pope jute ae in vain ; but itis rumored, wot without the ikelihoed of feundation, that an expedition will land in Italy, of French and Austrians, and even Russians, to reinstate him. Bella! horrenda bella! will be then the order of the day. And what 18 republican France doin She will assist the deposed sovereigns in their endeavors to regain their crowns! Tempora mutuntur et nos mutamur in ilts. THE DANISH QUESTION AND PRUSSIA. On the 26th February the Prussian Chambers were opened by the King in person. (I enclose a full account). In this speech his Majesty de- clared that j}eace with Denmask was all but settled ; and that same evening a courier arrived trom Copenhagen with despatches to Count Ples- sen, the Danish Ambassador, to say the armstice would not be renewed. The King looked silly enough, and the cour: obeyed his instructions. The Prussian government has been attacked for having deceived the Chambers, by inserting a phrase relative ‘o peace with Denmark in the King’s speech, when it knew of Denmark’s inten- tion not to repew the armstice. it did not know of this intention unt’l the evening of the 26th. Count Pleesen did not himself receive the de- spatches by special messenger, with the denounce- ment of the armstice, until he returned from the opening ot the Chambers ; and did not commuui- | cate the intention of his government until late in the evening of the same day. In_cousequence of this step taken by Denmark, the Prussian minister of commerce has made the following communication te persons engaged in the Baltic trade :-- On the 20th ult. the Danish government gave notice to his mejesty the King, of the cessation of the armis- ‘ice of Malmoe, which expires on the 26th ch. To thie notice the observatio: appended that the Da- nish goveroment enterteims the hope that this resolu- tion will not occasion a resumption of hostilities; aod the negotiations for peace vpened at London under the mediation of } permit it to be hoped that even before the expiration of the armstice, at least the preliminaries of peace will be established. However, as this result is not certain, | hasten to make known the real state of things to the commerce of the Baltic, and to reccmmend it to the prudence which is com- manded by circometancer, giving it at the same time the assurance that the government will take all the | measures in its power to prevent amy prejadiee to commerce. The Darich government has addressed a circu- lar 10 the diflerent governments of Europe, explain- Ing 118 reasons for giving notice of the termination ot the armietice of Malmoe. These reasons, briefly stated, are that two duchies are under the yoke of an insurrectional party; that the satety of the in- habitants is compromised, the resources of the | country wasted, and the Danish population with- | out protection; and that the prolongation of the | armistice would cause the pela ie of the anerchical state of thinge. The Danish govern- ment, however, expresees an earnest wish for the | early epening of negotiations for peace, and inti- | mates that the termmation of the armistice will | facilitate such negotiations Denmark is, however, preparing for wat—so 18 Germany. | - A letter from Berlin, of the 2d March If the aspect of the money market at this Je taken per says pl criterion of public confiden igement of the Schivawig Holstein affair, ish “denouncement” of th reason for believing that the hopes expressed in the Danieh note, and echoed by the Prussian ministers, | will be realized For the last. two days the Prussian | eecuritier, which receded a trifle on Tue:day, havere- | mained firm, and this morning have recovered their | previour quotations. It is difficult to comprehend the motives for this con- fidence. unless it be suppored that the mediating powers will come forward and put an end to further discus- tion, by determining the points at issue between Schieewig-Holetein and Denmark, as the London con- ference determined the question at issue between Belgium aed Holland, in regard to Luxemburg. In the meantime, it is said that Prussia. Hanover, Olden- burg. the Mecklenburgs, and Hanse-Towns, are not to | find contingents, in the event of hostilities recom- | mencinrg, but that the German auxiliaries will be com- | pored exclusively of troops belonging to Central States, | which wre not directly interested in maritime com- merce, and which have no ports or no border towns exported to sea attacks.

In the eitting of the German Parliament of Mnich 5, the following declaration was made by the Minister for Foreign A flains :— “ Lhe convention of armistice concluded at Malmoe op the 26th of Anguet, 1848, between Germany and Denmark, has been prospectively declared at an end by #enmaik, in the way of @ notiee, which fs both infor- elim itself and which egre ut iil with existing circumstances, It ia true that in delivering the w: ten document in question, the Danish plenipotentiary ceolared that bis Mejesty. the King of Denmark, in- Culped m sanguine hope that th rolved upom would not lead to a ren year’s hostilities, end the Denith Minister therefore endea- vored to reprerent thin netice im the light of an inevra- ment for the promotion of peace. round to heor an act, whieh is eesent! ate et te Ube promotion Of penow, ustominment se only in- | town.

The German ambassador at Once declared his asrent to the proposals given by Ger- many during the armi of her readiness to come to a per understanding; Denmark has answered Dy prorpectively rescinding the convention of armis- tice atthe very moment that negotiations of peace were commenc! at. Under the circumstances alluded to, it {s still porsibie, certainly, that the hasty resolu- tion of Denmark may be umproductive of ill conse- quences, But the negotiations of peace that already Bave been opened are, of course, to be regarded as in- terrupted until the precipitate baste of Denmark has been made gord—until it is a settled matter that up to 8 given and more remote point of time hostilities shall not be renewed, but the sfatus quo of existing things be mai a.

The population of these towns ha: former occasion, sought the commander at Wallachia, General Von Luders, at a time when they were kept in awe by the rapacious bordes of the perfidious Sseklers. And now that all immediate succor from the main Im- erial army was out of the question, aud consider- ing the duily increasing power of the enemy, who. by falee representations, had succeeded in seducing the whole Szekler tribe from their allegionce, Ge- peral Pocbner war led to yield to the general prayer, andto callin Russian afd.
