Wednesday Night, Nov. 27, 1850. } “The steamship Europa, Capt. Lott, from Liver- pool, November 16, arrived at this port at seven -o’elock, with forty passengers for Boston and nine -for Halifax. The renewed misunderstanding between Prussia and Austria is confirmed. All Germany is arming. Austria end Bavaria are in arms. Prussia has. drawn the first blood. Her troops occupied the village of Byolzell, upon which the Austrians ad- ‘vanced, with their swords sheathed, but were at once fired upon, and several of their number were wounded. The shots were returned, and the ‘Prussians finally evacuated the place, carrying off their wounded with them. France, England and Russia, have offered their «mediations on the German question. The latest accounts are more peaceable, although dn Vienna war is now looked upon as certain. Leuis Nepoleon has sent a long message to the Assembly, which has given general satisfaction. He disclaims all personal ambition. The no popery cry is going down in England. ‘They feel a little ashamed at having been fright- ened at a Catholic hierachy on paper. It appears that there are only half a million of Catholics in all England, and but eight millions in all Ireland, ‘Canada and Avetralia.
