BUS SI AN INFLUENCE IN THE EAST ., A correspondent of the Daily Neivs , writing from Jerusalem , describes the pomp and circumstance of the Grand Duke Gonstantine ' s recent visit to the holy places , and concludes thus : — " The presents ¦ which the imperial pilgrim has left behind almost exceed belief in their amount ,-r-among servants , policemen , soldiers , officers , and sheikhs . Such has been the visit of the Grand Duke Constantine . The scene is now shifted , the exhibition over , but there will be permanent effects which will issue in grave results . I have one more incident to relate , which forms a pretty sequel to the above . It has always been usual on our Queen ' s birthday for the Pacha and the various consuls to . pay an official visit to the English consul , in full uniform , and for a royal salute to be fired by the city guns . . This year the consuls paid their respects as usual , but no guns were fired and the visit of the Pacha was omitted . It appears , however , that an insignificant person from his excellency called in plain clothes upon our consul , with an intimation that he had received orders from Constantinople to decline the salute , arid authorising him not to pay his visit in person . How this personage was received by Mr . Finn I cannot say , but he is a gentleman who knows how to resent in a becoming manner any insult , offered to the flag he so well represents . It is an outrage that would hardly have occurred in Lord Stratford ' s Says , and will , it is to be hoped , be taken up by the authorities at home . Was it for this that England ' s best blood ' was spilled like water in the Crimea ?"

Mr . Howard , and others landed , the Algarvois tossed their oats and gave vivas , the vigour of which was no doubt proportionate to the amount of largess they expected to receive ; but after all your southern Viva" lacks the strength and bottom of the English "Hurrah" ; and this was amply testified when the Britons in the Arsenal came in with three-rtimes-three and one cheer more , in a style which awoke the astonishment of the Portuguese , The Prince smiled when these unmistakeable English cheers broke upon his ear , arid seemed to recognise them as old friends . His Royal Highness , who wore '• m *¦ T-T- 3 _ __ J ^ A . t . _ J _ A 1 _ 5 — A __
the uniform of a colonel of the Guards , and the blue ribbon of the Garter , looked remarkably well , manly , and brown by the fervid sun of Andalusia .

Next day the Prince of Wales and the King and Queen of Portugal drove through the principal streets of the capital , and also inspected the Tower of Belem .

AMERICAN VIEW OF EUROPEAN POLITICS . The New York papers contain the following summary of despatches from United States ministers in Europe : — " Letters , official and private , which have just been received from our minister at Vienna , throw some additional light upon the peculiar and perilous condition of -affairs existing throughout the Austrian " 'dominions , ' and also in regard to the embarrassments and difficulties under which she labours to raise funds to prosecute the war . 'It is well known , ' he says , 'to every one who has resided for any length of time at her capital , that she has been on the verge of bankruptcy for some time , and that she has been in the habit , and is doing the same
thing now , of resorting to every expedient known to nations to procure funds to avert that which , sooner or later , must overtake he r- Great distrust is exhibited on the part of her subjects—and , it is alleged , by some of her ministers—as to the propriety of rushing headlong into a general war , when it might have been averted , provided she had manifested a proper and forbearing spirit . Great depression , ' he says , ' exists in all branches of business . The reported secret treaty of alliance between France and Russia , when it was announced at Vienna , produced , quite a sensation . ' Mr . Dallas states that great activity prevails in England throughout all the various
departments , and warlike preparations of immense-magnitude are being prosecuted with vigour and urgency . Never , he sa 3 s , were' such preparations made by any power as are now going on . Everything that can float upon water is undergoing repair , and will soon be in readiness for active service . Unparalleled activity prevails in all tho the British dockyards ; indeed , it is tho opinion of leading statesmen that , should the war continue , England will not long remain neutral . She fears France , and looks upon the
" * Emperor with a jealous eye . Mr . Mason says that tho Emperor has a stronger hold upon the affections of the people of France than he ever had before , and they evince a determination to stand by him at all hazards , and prosecute tho war to the bitter end . Mr . Preston states that considerable feeling was manifestod at Madrid , growing out of the belligerent aspect of afFairs throughout Europe . Tho sympathies of tho people were with Sardinia , and tho Emperor ' s course moots tho hearty approval of tho people . "
