The Hillsborough Recorder

FROM EUROPE.

New York, April 12.

The Steamship Washington, from Havre via Southampton, with Liverpool dates to Wednesday, the 28th ult., arrived here this evening. Her advices are four days later than those received per steamer Baltic.

The proceedings of the Vienna Conference appear to be unsatisfactory. The allies do not insist on the destruction of Sebastopol, but propose other conditions disagreeable to Russia. It was understood that the Conference had agreed upon the first two points, and that the critical third point on which the question of peace or war turns, was under consideration, and would occupy several days. Another despatch says: "All conjecture as to the result is idle."

Vienna, March 27th, Evening.—The state of the political horizon has again become gloomy, and the conference of the day previous on the third point was anything but satisfactory, the conditions required by Russia being very disagreeable.

FROM SEBASTOPOL

Odessa advices of the 24th ultimo state that the Russians, in spite of repeated attacks, maintained their position on Mount Sapoune, whence their guns play on the French lines. The weather continued fine, and the health of the troops was improving. The advanced batteries of the British were making considerable progress.

According to information received from deserters, the Emperor's death had not been promulgated in Sebastopol.

Omar Pasha arrived at the allied camp on the 12th, and on the 13th the Russians opened fire from the heights of Balaklava, but the English, assisted by General Bosquet, routed them.

On the 17th, the Russians attacked the whole line of the allies, but were driven back with great loss.

The alliance between Sardinia and the Porte was signed on the 15th ult.

Prince Gortschakoff arrived at Sebastopol on the 20th ult.

On the 14th the Turkish cavalry at Eupatoria made a sortie, but were repulsed.

On the 17th three battalions of Zouaves attacked the new Russian redoubts before Sebastopol, but were driven back with great loss.

On the night of the 15th the French troops carried the line of ambuscades occupied by the Russian sharpshooters, and at the same time the Russians made a sortie, but they were repulsed.

Preparations continued to be made at Constantinople to receive Napoleon. In the meantime he and the Empress will visit Queen Victoria on the 16th of April.

In the House of Commons, Mr. Phinn moved an address to the Queen, praying that in the peace negotiations exertions be made for the reconstruction of Poland. After a debate, in which Lord Palmerston opposed the motion on the ground of creating further difficulties, it was withdrawn.

In the House of Commons the second reading of the bill to abolish newspaper stamps passed by a large majority.

Parliament has agreed to Sardinia's request for a loan of £2,000,000 sterling, one million to be immediately advanced from the public treasury, and the other million a year hence if necessary.

The Madrid correspondent of the London Times states that the Spanish Cabinet has been discussing a strong note addressed to the Government by Lord Howden, the British Minister, on the subject of the religions, &c.; and it was a question whether the letter should not be returned to the author. Lord Howden got wind of this, and threatened that if such an insult was offered, he would, within six hours, suspend all intercourse with the Spanish government. A satisfactory adjustment was accordingly looked for.

The Imperial guard of France left Paris on Tuesday for the Crimea.

The total effective Russian army in the Crimea is one hundred and fifteen thousand.

The position of the allies is now completely shut in by an enclosure of formidable entrenchments, extending to the heights of Balaklava. Important events are shortly anticipated. The condition of the troops was improving.

The fourth sitting of the Vienna conference is represented as having been very stormy. At London the impression appears to be that Russia will not accede to the conditions regarding the Black Sea. The conference will probably split on this question.

Constantinople letters, however, indulge in hopes of peace.

THREE DAYS LATER.

Halifax, April 13.

The America arrived last night. Her mails will doubtless reach New York about midnight of Saturday.

The America's advices are to the 31st, just three days later than the Washington.

The affairs in the Crimea have undergone no change whatever.

Much attention has been concentrated on the Vienna Conference, which is represented as being in great difficulty upon the Third Point, although the demands of the allies have been much modified.

The Russian Plenipotentiary has referred the matter to St. Petersburgh; and nothing further could be done, until a reply was received.

The French Minister of Foreign Affairs has also been to London to confer with the English Cabinet upon a momentous question. He had a long audience with the Queen. He will bear to the Vienna Conference the ultimatum of the Allies on the Third Point.
