The News. By the arrival of the Nashville at this port yes. tenday, we have received seven days later intelii- genee from Europe. Her news is not of much im- portance. Tue Vienna Conferences had been a1- journed to the 9th of April, in order to give times for ‘the Rossian Minister to receive instractions from Me government, and for M. Drouyn de I’Hay: to veach that city, It is stated that Count Nesselrode ts expested to take part in the deliberations of the @ongress. M. de Persigny, the fidus Achates of Louis Nap> Woon, and the confidant of his moat secret projacts, was also daily expocted at Vienna, His visit to ‘that city at the present moment has a certain signi- ‘ficance. ‘There has been more severe fightiag a4 Sabasto- pol, but it has not been of a nature to give any de- eided advantage to eitherside. On the night of the 23d of March a sort of general attack was made by ‘the Raesians on the advanced lines of the ellies. Bejween eleven and twelve, several oolamus of Ras: slam infantry came suddenly upon the French ia heir trenches, in front of the Mulak.ff tower, and Regan bayoneting them b:fore tL latier were pre- pared to receive them. They were, however, soon riven out, and ietire; under cover of the batteries. At the same time anotner body of Easaisns threw ‘thomeclves on the right of the English parallel, bat ‘Were repulsed with grea‘ slaughter. ‘The loss of the Rassians in tis affair is stated to De 2,000 killed and wounded and that of the French 00. The number of English casualties is not stated, but they appear to have lost several officara of merit. General Osten Sacken gives a diffurent version of this attack, and states that its object— ‘Mat of destroying the advanced works conatracted by the French in the few preceding days—hai been attended with suscezs.

The Rassians are making energetic preparations for the defeace of the Baltic provinces. Fortified camps of 30,000 mon eavh have been established between Mittan and B’ga, and Revel and Narva. The sentiments of the Know Nothing manifesto, publisted afew weeks since in our columns, have at- twacted the sdmirstion and encomiums of the Lon- don Times. It says in reference to this document— “ The langusge of the new party appears to ba PM rio‘ic and wise, and far more nearly akin to the true principles of the founders of the common- ‘weakh, than the scandalous attempts of the modern @emocrats to court popularity at the expouse of Thomesty and honor.”’ “i The London Chronicle ia down on the Palmerston atministration, and suggests tie formation of a Know Nothing party in Eogiai], to cure the evils of aristocratic incapacity. ‘The London Corporation had agreed to anaddress of congratulation tothe Freach Emperor, on tha eeeasion of h's projected visit to England.

Hereafter a sect entitled the “Chrietiaus,” under the pastoral charge of Rev. Elias Fay, will worship in that plece.

The News -from Europe—Progress of the Peace Negotiations—Their Probable Results, The European news received by the Nash- ville does not amount to much. The adjourn- ment of the sittings of the Vienna Conference during ‘Holy Week had rather a diplomatic than a religious motive. The latter was a sea- sonable pretext to afford time for the considera- tion of the difficulties raised by the Russian representatives on the unfortunate third point, and for the arrival of the ultima ratio of the allies, of which M. Drouyn de L’Huys is said to be the bearer. Speculation is of course rife as to the precise nature of the instructions with which the latter is furnished. In the Vienna cerrespondence of one of the London journals, it is stated that M. de Bourqueney is too stiff and unbending in character to pave the way by conciliation to the removal of ihe obstacles that have pre- sented themseives on the part of Prince Gort- schakoff and his colleague, avd hence this mis- sion of M. Drouyn de L’Huys. Other journals go eo far as to state that this gentleman is the bearer of conditions of a decidedly pacific nature, and which will tend to remove the existing difficulties. We believe the fact simply to be, that M. Drouyn de L’Huys is sent to Vienna less with the hope or expectation that his presence will have any material effect upon the deliber- ations of the conference, than.to impart greater weight and solemnity to its decisions. With the exception of Russia, all the Powers are now represented by ministers holding the highest ministerial offices in their owa country, so that the conference is assuming all the conditions and attributes of a Congress. It is, in fact, preposterous to suppose that, ia the present stage of affairs, any pacific adjust- ment can be arrived at. Holding her own on every point, Russia cannot make any conces- tious that will be derogatory to her national honor. The pride and religious enthusiasm of her people are now thoroughly sroused—her nobles have declared their determination to die to.a man, if necessary, in support of her poli- tical influence—the governing body of her Church bave sppealed to the fanaticism of the moasses to sustain what they term the cause of the orthodox faith—her armies are not only suc- cessfully maintaining the defences of the coun- try, but actually wresting from their oppo- nents the palm of military superiority, so long claimed by the latter. Talk of a na tion thus circumetanced, of a sovereign thus supported, abandoning tbe proud position which they occupy, and submitting to the humiliating terms sought to be imposed upon them by an enemy whose armies they have virtually beaten, and whose political prestige they have almost destroyed! Were Alexander weak «nough, from his alleged pacific inelinations, to consent to any conditions short of maintain- ing unimpaired the integrity of his territories and the present numerical force of his fleet, we might soon expect to hear of his “shuffiing off his mortal coil” after the fashion of his grani- father Paul. ‘That he has no such intentions may be inferred trom the vigorous prepara- tions which he is making ‘o repel the invaders from every point of his territory. From War- saw we learn that nearly the whole of the Rassien forces concentrated in Poland are moving north and south—an army of 150,000 being about to be concentrated in Finjand, for the defence of the Baltic coasts, whilst every effort is being made to raise the effective force of the Russian armies in the Crimea to three hundred thousand men before the end of the present month. This does not look like a disposition on the new Czar’s part to concede a single point in the negotiations that might be considered sericusly injurious to the inter- ests or degrading to the honor of Russia. How, then, are the conditions which constitate the only value of this third point, and which are, in fact, the only substantiul advantages to be gained in refarn for the vast sacrifices al ready incurred by the allies, to be reconciled with the determination indicated by these pra parations? We confess that we cannot see the remotest chance of any concessions or modifica tions being hit upon whioh will conciliate both interests, Were the allies disposed, as alleged, to waive the razing of Sebastopol, they would etill be compelled to ineist upon other gaaran- tees which, if uot a8 substantial, would still be as humiliating to the pride of Russia, Bat on the point of their readiness to abandon this condition we continue as ineredulous as ever, notwithstanding the positive assertions made on the subject by some of the European Journals. If it be inconsfstemt with the honor of Russia to accede to such # eondition, it is stil] more incompatible with the hener of the efforts to effect it; and as yet these efforts have only been attended with defeat and mortifica- tion to the allies. To retire frem the contest without the accomplishment of this object, either by force or by treaty, would reflect eternal dis- grace npon the arms of the invaders, and would besides leave the Russians as powerful as ever in the Black Sea. How, then, we repeat, is this knotty question of the reduction of Rus- sian naval preponderance in the Euxine to be solved? By the sword, and by theswordalone! Rrors y TH West.—It is obvious that some- thing must be done to put a stop to the rioting mania, which appears, from our telegraphic a4- vices, to be becoming chronic at the West. Riots and bloodshed at Cincinnati, the same thing at Chicago, the same thing at St. Louis, assur- edly betoken a state of things requiring im- mediate attention. Whence do these pheno-, mena arise ? It is true that in all these instances the d'is- turbers ofthe peace have been Irish and Gyer- mans, and that the fighting propensities of these two elements of the population of this country are notorious, It may be said that Irishmen and Germans would fight whether there was a ground of quarrel or not; that they love fighting in the abstract; and cannot, until the third or fourth generation, become recon- ciled to that peaceful way of life which Ame- ricans prefer. But, allowing for thie agency, it is quite clear that there has been in this case a good deal of provocation. These foreigners come here from @ moaarchy more or less oppressive toaland professedly free. They—especially the Germans—have never heard in the wildest freak of their native tyrants of a man’s liquor being stopped; and they naturally look upon this as savoring of a tyranny which would have appalled even the Emperor of Austria. Therefore they resist, as they would have done at home; and therefore blood is shed. Of course it is all wrong for men to take the law into their own hands and shoot dawn, the po- lice. But, at the same time, every nation can point to a period in her history when her liberties would have been lost had not some one or many taken the responsibility of this wrongful act; and how can these poor Ger- mans or Irish tell whether that time has come ornot? A wise legislator will aveid placing the ignorant in a dilemma between apparently justifiable resistance and servile submission. The fact, is the North is becoming more and more imbued with the narrow spirit of New Engiand fanaticism. They were fipe tellows in many respects these old Puritans—may their memory never be less!—but of all the races ever born ofthe seed of Adam, they stand forth as undoubtedly the most bigoted, the most ar- bitrary, the most narrow-miaded. It is alto- gether a mistake to suppose that they have altered since the Mathers deplored with tears in their eyes that no more witches were to be hanged, and the peoples’ hearts misgave them, but the stern men of blood were right. They would hang witches still if they did not happen at this time to be busy trying to rob the South of her property, and to drive Catholic ladies by insults out of their country. These keep their hands full. The prohibitory law is theirs— just such a law as the old General Court at Boston might have framed, and a dark browed Puritan preacher enforced. It may answer in their old province, Maine, or that other old settlement of theirs, Vermont: in the country parts of New England, of course, it is but a lineal descendant of their common law: but when you come to enforce it among men who have not been bronght up to consider banging the proper cure for heterodoxy, or parsons the best political leaders, it must fail. And this for the simple reason that it is not suited to any other race of men than those it originated with. You cannot make a uniform law for the world. You cannot feed the giraffe on the same provender as the-polar bear; nor can you persuade men who mix with the worid, and are part of it, to be governed by the fana- tical spirit of New England asceticism. Laws may be passed, of course—this is al- wayseasy: the Acts of Trade and the Stamp Act were very good and regular laws as sach: but can you carry them out? We do not be- lieve it possible. Men will not after ali sub- mit to the dictates of a bigoted fanatical ma- jority, at such cost. The scenes at Chicago are only the beginning: we. warn the authori- ties of this State to be prepared for something similar here, and, for humanity’s sake, to be prepared in such a way as at all events will spare the effusion of blood. Lisers anv Lisev Suirs.—A suit against the Tribune Dewspsper for a libel published during the last election is set down for trial to-day in one of the courts of Jaw. The libel was a cbarge made against one of the candidates to the effect that he had set fire to his store in or der to obtain the amount of the insurance. It is not to be supposed that the Tribune people or any other journalists would willingly and knowingly publish libels against any individual in the community rendering themselves liable in damages Libels originating in newspapers are generally produced by personal or politi- cal excitement at the time of elections. Per- haps no journal in the country has been more under the malignant influence ot such excite- ments than the Tribune, and hence the large sums it has paid in the ehape of damages or eettlements for suits. During the last year, it is said that libel suits and settlements by way of preventing them, cost our cotemporary from five to seven thousand dollars. Other cotem- poraries such as the Express and the Sunhave paid a good deal of money also. It is asin- gular fect that the Heraxp, daring the twenty yeare of ite existence, has probably saf- fered less by verdicts in libel suits (we never settled apy) than any other leading paper. We do not of course include the Fry verdict, as it was a palpable violation of trath, law and justice, and will no doubt be set aside on a new trial. The fact is, it is probable that the New Yor Heraxp during its long career has probably been more careful of individual character and reputation than any of its cotem- poraries, although the vindictiveness and abuse and jealousy of the latter have represented it as being a perfect Satan of infamy and false- hood, libel and defamation. When the verdict was rendered in th last lidel suit against the Heaatn, our good friends Of the Tribune gloated over the heavy verdict and did all they could to prejudice the jury and the community against us. We hope, in retarn for thie outburst of malignant enmity, gllic# to waive it. The destruction oX this for- ! that the jary which meets today to judge the offences of the Tyibune may deal modermtely with them, may make proper allowance for the excitement under whigh they were laboring at the time—in « word, may retarn a verdict of sixpence as sufficient damages to the respects- ble man whose “character they unfortunately attempted to injure, Tas Know Norawes mw Evotanp.—We publish to-day an article from the London Times on the new American movement.

MEETING OF THE WINE AND LIQUOR IMPORTERS AND HOTSL PROPRIETORS. Room No, 41 Astor House was densely packed on Saturday night with the wine importers and hotel pro- prictors who are opposed to the new liquor law. The meeting was private, Mr. Whetmore occupied the chair, and Messrs. Tredwell and Cozzers officiated as secre- taries. The principal business transacted was the con- sideration of thé propriety of a union among all the Uquor dealers, large and small, to throw legal impedi- ments in the way of the entorcement of the new liquor law. Delegates were present from the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association, also from the brewers, Captain Richard French, of the former society, made a long and impassioned speech, in which he severely berated the merchants for their supineness pending the late contest for the governorship between Clark, Seymour, and Ullman. Had the merchants come forward they would have succeeted in elect- ing Seymour, and saved themselves the loss and annoyance consequent om the passage of this law. Too much attention has been paid to questions of mere poli- tical expediency, when the vitalinterests of the liquor dealers were at stake. Captain F. was frequently ap- plauded in the course of his'remarks. ‘The evening was taken up in discussing the best plan of organization for the several societies to act her on, but up to the time of adjournment no decision was fe gy at. All the speakers, however, favored union of ‘ It is understood the Finance Committee has raised quite a large sum of money, and that the Committee of Arrangements are in succe,sful negotiation with certain eminent lawyers, whose services it is deemed expedient toemploy. he meetiog will convene again during th: coming week.

On passing up Broadway one can see the liquor stores in full operation on every hand, and the city looks as though Fernando Wood never bad been Mayor, ora Sunday liquor law in force. The Germans who were in the habit of visiting their friends in Williamsburg, and there enjoying themselves in drinking their favorite beverages, lager bier and Rhine wine, have been compelled, by the strict enforcement of the liquor law under Mayor Hall’s administration, to Jook to other quarters to gratify their appetite for these enticing drinks, and accordingly t numbers of them find their way to Hoboken.

She took one hundred and forty-nine passen- gers, $164,000 in specie, a great many letters, and many cases, including a large number from Canada for the Paris exhibition. The new steamship Ariel, of this line, will follow on May19. We were misinformed in stating that the Ariel was not finished. She has already made a most success- ful emgineers’ trip, is now furnishing, and will ina few days take up her berth for Havre. We are told it is the wish of the owner that all persons conversant with steam, and intending voyagers, should examine this ship, in her cabins, in the strength and solidity of her struc- ture, and in the form of her model. He thinks she will be found, in these respects, equal to any other ship. The Ariel is » beautiful ship of 2,800 tons, with excellent accommodation for three hundred passengers, and at the reduced rates, established at the auspicious moment of the Paris exhibition, we do not doubt will carrya full Toad. The travelling public are largely indebted to the owner of these ships.

The United States steamer Mississippi, flag ship of the Japan Expedition, 8.8, Lee, Commander, from Valparaiso February 10th, and Rio de Janeiro March 2ith, arrived at this port yesterday. The Mississippi has been absent nearly two years and a half, having sailed from Norfolk asthe flog ship of the Japan Expedition in November, 1862—since which time she has three times visited Japan, and been in nearly every clime and under every sun. She is now one of the few war steamers which has circumnavigate the globe, and during her cruise has sailed a distance more than twice its circumference, ‘The Mississippi left Valparaiso Febraary 10, and on reaching the mouth of the Straits of Magellan experi- enced the rough weather which prevails in tnat boiste- rous Jatituae, and stood off shore until midnight, At daylight om the 20th the bold summit of Cape Victory ‘was just discernatie above the thick cloud, w with a high sea and a gale from west, she ran into the Straits, om | close aboard of the pointed rock called the Evargelist.
