The News. ‘The arrival of the Pacific at this port yesterday, places us in possession of seven days later intelli. gence from Europe. Her news is interesting. The announcement of the projected change of plan in ‘Whe operations of the Allies in the Crimoa‘seems to yeceive confirmation, from the fact of a sexret ex- pedition having been despatched in the direction of the Sea of Azoff, with what purpose is not known, ‘as it returned to Balaklava in a few days, without having effected anything. The operations of the siege itself had heen rendered temporarily imprac- ticable from the heavy rains that hed fallen and filled the trenches with water. General Canrobert had resigned the chief command of the French troops to General Pelissier, and had retained merely the command of a division. The alleged motive of the former’s resignation was ill health, but there can be no doubt of the factot bis having been civilly cashiered by his master. No further progress has been made in the peace negotiations. It is certain, however, that Austria and Prossia are drawing closer, and that both Pow- ere, and coneequently the whole of the lesser German States, will preserve a strict neutrality. Austria is playing rather a high handed part as the trustee of the common interests of the five Powers in the Principalities. A short time since, we had an ac. eount of a barbarous outrage and murder commit ted by an Austrian officer in Wallachia, for which all redress was refused. We now learn that Couat Ooronini, the Austrian Commander-in-Caief, has proclaimed martial law throughout both “Princi- palities. . It is not unlikely that Sweden will join Rusaia, after all. Inreply to the ultimatum presented to her by the Allies, regarding the part she should take in the war, she bas called out the whole of her militia. The democratic movement in Eagland has even extended to a section of the House of Lords. Tho debate on Lord Ellenborough’s mojion had drawa orth sentiments radical enough for the lower house. It appears that the new Spanish Minister to Washington has not as yet been named. It had been determined to await the arrival of the next mail from Havana before Senor Cucto’s successor should be sppointed. On this subject the Journal des Débats of the 16th inst., has the following from Madrid, under date of the 11th:—“ It is not as yet known who is to be the successor of Senor Cueto, the minister to the United States. What is certain is, that the government will not ocsupy itself either with the opinions or with the political color of the diplomatiat that it will send to Washington.” The same journal states that it is aleo certain that the Mexican government has refused to receive M. Antonio y Zayas, recently named Minister Plenipo tentiary to that republic in place of M. Lozano. It is not known what course the Spanish government means to take in the matter. M. Zsyas writes from Jalapa that he awaits orders from the government, An interesting description of the inauguration of the Paris Exhibition wil] be found in our private letters. For some of the details therein contained, we are indebted to the courtesy of Prince Napoleon in furnishing our correspondent with a special ticket of admission, and other facilities. In one of our Paris letters wil! also be found some eurious declarations of a member of the preseat French government, in reference to the English al- hance, and what is termed “ Russian progress” in America. The cotton market yesterday, on the strength of the Pacific’s news, advanced about jc. per Jb., with sales of about 4,000 bales. Fiour, for grades under fancy and extra, advanced about 12hc. per barrel. Michigan white wheat sold at $260, and Genesee do. at $2 80, The receipts of corn fell off, and prices improved, with active sales, including par. cela to arrive and for export. Pork was fivmar, with fair sales, Coffee sgain sold pretty freely at full prices. Sugsrs were active, the sales having Teached about 2,200 2,300 bhds., the market closing firm. Freights were inactive and rates un- changed. There was again 4 large shipment of specie yes- terday for Europe, to be followed by a considerable amount on Saturday. Weunderstand that thesane agents who were the heaviest shippers by the pra- Vious Collins steamer were also the largest by the Baltic yesterday. The house which sont out the largest sum was the house of Mr. Belmont, theagen’ of Rothchilés. The remainder was divided up among other bankers, including Brown Brothers and the agents of Barings. By an arrival at Charleston, we have advices from Havana to the 25th inet. The prevalenca ot ‘the yellow fever and smallpox, had created consider able excitement. Tho seige of Caba ceased on the ‘23d inst. Sugar unchanged snd molasses brisk. There is no other news. The Aldermanic inquisition into the charac'er and birthplace of the Chief of Police was resumet yesterday, but as there were norefractory witnesses to examine the proceedings were rather dul. Tae Only humorous feature in the whoie affair was an affidavit made by Mra. McKeever, from which it ap pears that the worthy Catef occasionally indalgod in the innocent amasement of writing love letters, and that he was also guilty of the unpardonable crime of ridiculing, before his father’s apprentices, those he received from the witness. Bat this is not all; for it seems, while he was correapondiag with her, he was courting another. What hag the Chief to say to this? Our Washington correspondence, dated on the 28th instant, informs of tho departare of Governor Reeder from that city for Easton, Pa., where he in. tends to remain fora few days before he sets out for Kansas. President Pierce assured him tna’ the Cabinet will not approve of his conduct with regard to the difficulty in that Territory. This is looked upon és a sop thrown to the South. It was thought that Reeder would be requested to resign hia offive, and if he refused that he would be removed by the Executive. Com. Paulding has heen appointed by the Secre- tary of the Navy to command the Home squadron in the place of Com. McCauley, whose appolatment Was temporary. The Know Nothing State Convention which has been in session at Bangor, Me., adjourned yester- day afterncon. No nomination was made for G enor. Strong anti-lavery resolutions were passed, with oply three dissenting votes, and delegates were sppointed to the Nations! Council whi-h is to as. mmblein Phijadelpaia next monta. 539 Broadway—Pawo- EBABTOFOL, tion was fully s‘tended, and great harmony pre- vailed. A fire occurred last night, absat 9 o’clock, in the four story building No. 49 Ann street, occu- pied by John F. Trow, printer and publisher of the New York City Directory. The flames spread ra- pidly throughout the baildiug, extending some- what into the building of No. 51, which communi- cates by the upper stories. The principal loss will fall on Mr. Trew, whom, we understand, has in- eurance in the Merchants and other insuranca com- panies, but to what amount, we were unable to learn. Three of the printers at work in the build- ing, at the time, were burnt somewhat by the fire in meking their eacape. Their injuries were uo considered dangerous. The ‘News from Europe—Revolation in En gland. The news from Sebastopol is—nothing. It would appear, from the evidence of Lord Har- dinge before the Sebastopol Committee, that the position of the Allies is too strong and their artillery too complete to warrant the prospect of their being driven into the sea, or even of a second Inkermann. Of course, no one expects that the siege of the city is to be prosecuted any further for the present, Rumor still assigns to the allied Generals, Raglan and Pelissier, (Canrobert having received a hint to resiga,) the intention of advancing inland to try their luck at a battle in the field. But from the Cabinets of the European Powers the news is suggestive and pregnant with interest, There can be very little doubt now that a secret understanding has long exist- ed between the sovereigns of Russia, Austria and Prussia, and that the diplomatic, negotia- tions of the past twelve months have been a farce. Alison in the continuation of his his- tory, Stiles, and other writers likely to be well informed on such a subject, said so long azo; and the language of the late Czar Nicholas to Sir Hamilton Seymour was strongly corrobora- tive of the impression that the price of Rus- sia’s intervention in Hungary in 1849 was Austria’s non-intervention in Turkey whenever the time came for the fulfilment of Russian destiny. Since then Russia has thrown the Principalities into the bargain, as an additional bait to Austria. She holds them already, and her General declares martial law over the two millions of people they contain. Who shall wrest them fromher? Not Turkey, for it is dead; nor the Western Powers, for they have no basi ness with them: nor Russia, for she has promis- ed to let the Hapsburg have them; nor yet the people of the ccuntry themselves, for they would rather be the ubjects of a powerfal em- pire than the sovereigns of a weak oac. Paid in advance, in this way, Austria has amused the Western Powers by negotiating: her posi- tion in Germany has once or twice tried her faith severely; but at the last, she seems faith- fal to her engagement, and the prospect every day grows nearer of France and Eagland fiad- ing themselves thrust headlong into a war with the whole of Russia and the whole of Germany, However momentous such a tura of the war would be, it is really less so, to the human race at large, and to the cause of civilization, than the democratic movement in England which hys already grown out of the contest. It is given to very few to see the causes and trace the phi- losophy of cotemporary events; mayhap, here- after, the historian may allude to the British war with Russia as an accident arranged by Providence for the purpose of precipitating the fallof the hereditary aristocracy in Eag- Jand and the final triumph of popular principles For the one has followed the other with start- ling rapidity, and has’ already surpassed it in importance; whether there be peace, or whether there be more war, there must be a revolution in England. The press is revolutionary, the mer- chants—who have the most to lose by achange— talk revolution: members of Parliament fear a revolution; ex-ministers of the crown expect it; even in the tottering House of Peers, amid the feeble senilities of that pensioner’s hospi- tal, Lord Ellenborough preaches revolution ia almost the tones ef Mirabeau. Does anybody dream that after a peer of England has told his brother peers that birth is cothiag, rank no- thing, ancestry nothing, and that merit, head, brains, democratic sense ani honesty are everything—and has been listened to with silence and awe—that England can retura to the old system, and the army, the navy, the church, and the civil service again become fattening stalls for sprigs of aristocracy? No, no. The hour has been long impendiag, it is now at hand: the bell has beea long silent, but a hand js already bidding it strike the tocsin; the fight must come, it must, it must, and neither the haughty defiance of a Derby, nor the glib assurance of a Palmerston, nor even the treachery of Iscariot Ellenborough, or the passing follies of this or that popular leader, can prevent or retard it. War will hasten it, for twenty thousand Englishmen canno! beat fifty thousand Russians, as they will be expect- ed todo, and mortification will light the match, Peace will hasten it, for it will briag leisure, and a new channel will be needed for the agi- tation aroused by the war. A continuance of the French alliance will hasten it, by keeping constantly before the eyes of the people the superiority of the democratic sysiem of the French, with their ever-changing rulers and forms of government, to the old, unchanging, unimproved stolidity of the oligarchical plan of England. A rupture with France will hasten it, for it would be full of disgrace for England, and though the middle classes were the authors of the mischief, they would infalli- bly make a scapegoat of the aristocracy and destroy them in the first fit of self-reproach and peevishness. Come what may, happen what miracle Providence may have in store, nothing can avert revolution from England. And, until that great question is settle1, how futile the operations of the armies! Do we not all know the whole story—what Raglan will do, and what Gortsechakoff—what congpesses their Majesties of Vienna, Berlin and St. Pe- tersburg will hold, and what farther guaran- tees, besides the two points, the Czar will give to the German Powers in return for their al- The sonven . liance—what hecatombs of fine fellows will rot in the Crimea or on some other wild place on the confines of Russia—do we not know all this as well beforehand as when it shal! have hap pened, and be recorded in formal despatches and elaborate correspondents’ letters? Are uot all wars alike, and do they not all end pre- cisely at the same point? Have the kings of continental Europe—the hereditary kings, not democratic emperors—any choice in deciding on their course of action? A battle, with a butcher’s bill of ten to twenty thousand men fairly hewed to pieces, or otherwise put out of life into death on the field, seoms a very shock- ing thing to quiet people, especially if they have a brother, cousin or father in the army ; bot look st it with the eye of history aud it te NEW ‘YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY. 31, 1855. the most insignificant of accidents or pastimes. So of alliances. All these powers have a course forced upon them which they must take; many of us saw this long ago and scouted the notion of new national leagues. The only chance of anything new growing out of this war hangs upon the prospect of revolution in England. Ovr Retarions witn Spai.—It appears at last to have been discovered in the Spanish Cortes that the imbroglio of Mr. Soulé with the Spanish government was eaused by his with- holding one or more of Marcy’s “sober second thought” despatches from the Spanish govern- ment. This egrees with our statements of the case published six months ago, and we presume that there is little doubt now of their correct- ness. But we charge the whole of Soulé’s diffi- cuities, Ostend convention inclusive, to the double-dealing and treachery of the adminis- tration, It is not likely that:he would have persisted in his filibustering experiments at Madrid without encoutagement from Washing- ton regarded as of higher authority than Marcy’s official instructions. We understand, too, that although Mr. Pierce affected to be highly indignant about the Perry letter, he was well advised of that document in advance of its publication. What is to be done with Perry remains to be seen; but as all others concerned in Mr. Pierce’s European Cuban di- plomacy have been sacrificed to the treachery which has ruled this business at Washington, there can be little hope for Mr. Perry. Our new Minister, Mr. Dodge, will most probably refrain from exercising the slightest discretion, however advantageous it may appear, and will stick to the exact letter of Marcy’s orders, for" fear of the consequences. In the meantime, as the Perry letter promises to bring out all the suppressed correspondence touching Soulé’s mission, we may expect in due time, some in- teresting developements of the conflicting tac- tics of Mr. Pierce, under the alternate counsels of Marcy, Jeff. Davis and the Kitchen Cabinet. Crrizen RosesrrerRE McELRATH ON THE Kansas Disturpances.—The President of the Nassau Bank, Citizen Robespierre McElrath, like the Jacobins of the first French revolution, is thirsting for blood. Through the columns of his Seward coalition newspaper he is scatier- ing his firebrands of agitation and sedition with a most ferocious zeal. For example, he sag- gests the getting up “an organized force in the Territory, to repel the invasion of the slave- holders, and to repudiate the proceedings of the official scoundre!s who will assemble and call themselves the Legislature of Kansas.” This sort of coup d’état is the very thing for which this Danton McElrath and his revolutionary associate, now in Europe, Ana- chartis Cloots, denounced Louis Napoleon as a perjured cut-throat and murderer. But cir- cumstances alter cases, and where niggers are concerned, the cutting of throats is suggested as a positive virtue. Our amiable conspirator, Master McElrath, seems to have an echo in Kansas equally amiable. In a letter of his published yesterday, this law-abiding Kansas tree soil emigrant says that the people of the North “know very little of the proper mode for securing the freedom of Kansas, which is to fight,” that ‘“‘a battle or two must be fought—a fegular pitched battle;” and he accordingly ' calls for a shipment of “revolvers and other weapons” of moral suasion of the same deadly character. Has it come to this? Is this the woy that the blood-thirsty Citizen M’Elrath deals with the customers of the Naesau Bank when they call for a discount, especially if they be liquor dealers? When it comes to “revol- vers and other weapons,” and a call for “a pitched battle,” the abolitionists, like quiet people, keep within doors. Liquor DEALeRs IN Trovsie.—We perceive that Mesers. Coleman & Stetson, of the Astor House, under the auspices of the Carson League, bave been brought under a proscution as viola- tors of the liquor Jaw. For many years these gentlemen of the Astor House have been the friends and purveyors, politically and socially, of this very Seward coalition which is thus un- gratefully rendering them evil for good. The agents of the very parties who have time and agein enjoyed the champagne and other choice liquors of the bountifal Astor House, on the most liberal and easy terms, are now as re- moreelessly pursuing this firm of the Astor as if they were escaped convicts from Blackwell’s Teland. Messre. Coleman & Stetson, how do you like your Seward associates now? What is your opinion of the working of the new li- quor law?

The fire, we under- stand, was first discovered by James Fox, engineer of a steam engine, situated in a small building directly in the rear of Mr. Trow’s premises, Mr. Fox says he stepped out frem the engine room and saw the fire bursting out of the third story-rear window of the building No. 49 Ann street. He forthwith ran to the engine house of No. 5, located almost opposite tp the building, in Aun street, and gave them the alarm. At that time no fire could be seen from the front of the building. Mr. Louis Durr is insured for $2,000; and his damage, which is by water, will be but trifling. Y Morrell, Donald & Co. were just moying in, and had but little stock on the premises, Their loss will be but trifling. One half of the cellar under No, 49 was occupied for the manufacture of printers’ rollers. The name of the person we could not learn, but understand he was not peured. ‘The Hall bell rarg off the alarm for the Seventh dis- trict, and soon after the flames burst forth from the windows, The firemen rushed to the scene of conflagra- tion in great numbers, and the streets were thronged with people, who could be seen running from all direo- tions :owards the burning. It seems, at the time the fire was discovered, some twenty printers were at work im the adjoining building, No. 51 Ann street, which communicates on the third and fourth floors. At first they thought it could be extin- guished with a few pails of water, and some of them ap- proached the fire for that+ purpose, but they very soon found out their mistake; and so rapidly did the fire ox- tend, that several of the printers were compelled to ates through the scuttle to the adjoining building, the smoke being too dente for them to pass down s' Great copfcsion became manifest among the printers, as the step ladder leading to the scuttle had been dis- placed, and could not be found, and they were com- pelled to erect a kind of calfold, in order to reach the scuttle for escape. At times, Ann street, towards Nassau, was complete- ly smothered in smoke, and many were compelled to Teave in a half suffocated condition. Considerable fear was entertained by the fremen in referencefto the condi- tion of the building, as 1t was rumored that alarge num- ber of printing prestes were in the upper floors, together with rome heavy iron safes. It was subsequently ascer- tained, however, thata few weeks ago several of the larg est presses had been removed, ‘the iron rafes, The firemen worked desperately to conquer the destructive element, and in the space of about two hours the flames were eufficiently subdued to prevent its extending be- gone the above mamed premises. The whole of the nilding, No. 49, has been completely gutted, and a por- “row's Directory, it in cafd loti a Director is nid, was near comple Pearly, If not all, destroyed by the Are. The first foor of No. 49 appears to have occupied by Leavitt, Trow & Co , 8 reoty De printers. The firat floor of No. 81, was occupied by Lawis Durr, gold and silver refiners. No. 63 1s occupied by Morrell, Donald & Co., Printing ink makers. The fire had been burning about half cn hoar when an explosion took place, supposed to be caused by the gas meter. FIRE IN GREENWICH STREET. About 10 o’clock last night a fire was discovered in the attic of the frame building No. 211 Greenwich street, occup'ed by Jobn F. White, brush manufacturer. His Joss by fire and water will be about $200—fully insured. The camphene, oil and lamp store, in the same building, cecupied by M. Smith, was somewhat damaged by water; he is insured in the Lorillard Insurance Company for $1,500. The breaking out of this fire caused considera- ble excitement, and the Chiet Engineer ordered the fire bell to be rang for the Third district, in order to bring the up town engines down to attend to this fire in Greenvich street. FIRE IN WEST BIGHTEENTH STREET- Soon after the breaking out of the fire in Apn street a fire took place im a dwelling house in West Eighteenth street, near Ninth avenue. It occurred in one of the upper rooms, said to be caused by the carelessness of one of the servants. It was soon extinguished with but little damage. ‘The Kinney Expedition Beal: VISIT TO THE BEJIEGING FORCE—LATEST INTELLI- GENOE FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. The announcement that the clipper steamship United States, having on board the participants in the Kinney expedition, was about to sailon Monday afternoon from her dock foot of Eighth street, caused no little excite- ment among the government officials at this port, and on the news being transmitted to Washington, word was mmediately, sent back to stop it by all means. Aceord- gly orceré were forwarded to Commodore Boorman at . the Navy Yard, to hold all his available force in readi- ness to intercept the fleet little craft, with her gang of presumed filibusters, and on no account to permit her even to leave the dock. On the receipt of these orders, (this was last Saturday,) the greatest commotion pre- vailed among the officials at the Navy Yard, and four vessele—three steamers and # revenue cutter—were immeditely got ready for active service. Victuals, powder, ball, and all the appurtenances of war, were put aboard, and every available man and officer in the Navy Yard pressed into the service, So difficult was it to find officers that the Commodore was compelled to impress several who had but just left the flag ship Columbia, just returned from a cruise, and were anticipating a good time on shore. All being in readiness, the war fleet sailed and was stationed in the river to prevent the United States leaving the dock, as Gescribed in yesterday’s Henan. Yesterday one of our reporters visited the dock foot of Eighth street, to give an accoant of the affair, and see when the expedition would sail. He found, on ar- tes lying at the dock quietly, and the government vessels out in the stream, ready to pounce on her should ehe quit her berth. Abreast of ‘thi k lay a Jong, low, black topsail schooner, elipper t—one Of those pert little crafts that would delight a sailor to look upon, and, to use a nautical expression, capable of ‘‘sailing in the wind’s eye.” Above, in the river, at the foot of Twelfth street, was a larger vessel, —e propeller—so placed as to cut off escape in that quarter; while below, at the foot of Houston street, was a smart looking, saucy little steamer, evidently ready for any emergency. After surveying this formidable fleet, our reporter stepped, on the deck of the United Btetes, prepared to find the vessel filled to overfio with terrible fellows, “ bearded like pards,’’ and ar: to the very eyes, with revolvers, muskets, bowie knives, cutlarser, tomabawks, and all manner o! death weapons. But what was his eurprise to find everything on the deck stil as death, nor was there apparently a human telpg on board. Alter stumbling about the ship, up stairs, down stairn, through the cabins and o: dors, for ‘some time to find @ stray filibuster, he at length discovered a young man, whom he afterwards Iearned was the Purser, W. ¥'. Perkins, in one of the cabins, with whom he had the following conve! ion :— Rerorten—This is the United States, I believe, that had been chartered to take out the famous Kioney ex- pedition last Monday ?
