Later from Europe. Halifax, May 1. --The steamer America has arrived with advices to the 20th ult. The War in America The London Times editorially expatiates on the importance of the struggle for New Orleans, and says that the occupation of that place by the Federals would be like a tourniquet tightened over the great artery of the Seceded States. The London Morning Herald has a sarcestic editorial on the protracted continuance of the American struggle. It sees no signs of exhaustion in the North or discouragement in the South, and believes that a speedy peace is hopeless. The editor further says that the Government at Washington should be permitted to have one more chance, and if it fail the Great Powers should promptly interfere on behalf of the general well being of mankind. That this has not been done before is owing to the generosity of England, as France was ready; but it is time England should cease to stand between her own people and the relief they need

to obtain the range, and when this was done the firing caused. During this exchange of shots no damage was sustained on our side. Yesterday the firing was renewed with vigor, particularly against a rebel gun which has given our men the most trouble, stationed on Yorktown Heights. About twenty rounds had been fired from it against our battery, when it exploded into numberless fragments, killing and wounding a large number of rebels. A letter from Yorktown to the New York Times, dated May 1st, says: Tuesday night several schooners were observed busily plying between Yorktown and Gloucester. It was supposed the rebels were transferring troops and stores to the latter place. Many persons infer from this movement that the rebels are abandoning their fortifications at Yorktown, for the purpose of making a strong stand against the advance of Banks or McDowell, but it that was the design of the enemy he would probably retreat on the Williamsburg road. One day last week, w

Our latest intelligence from Baton Rouge, La., is contained in the New Orleans Picayunes of May 1st. The Northern papers have claimed that the place was occupied by the Federals shortly after the capture of New Orleans, but the following furnishes ground for doubting the assertion: The passing of the Federal fleet above our forts was announced at the Capital on Thursday morning, and immediately thereupon preparations were made for the removal of the State archives, and for the destruction of cotton and sugar. The archives have been removed to a place in the interior where the enemy is

The rope had not been received up to the 20th, and but for timely showers which renewed the supply it. the water course, and the wells dug by the men in low, damp places, the army could not have remained there as long as it has. The citizens use rain water, caught in cisterns from the 1st of October to the 1st of May; but the supply in the cisterns was, not sufficient to last the army one week. But it was not the want of an ample supply of water alone that rendered it proper for our army to retire from Corinth. Our encampment was bounded on three sides by Bridge creek and a dense swamp — in front, on the right, and in the rear — and our breast works were just behind the swamp, and re parall to it for a considerable distance. The swamp was crossed by four or five roads, near which we had planted

The London Journals indulge in a variety of comments upon the struggle before Richmond on the first of May and the 1st of June some as a Federal victory, others as a drawn battles, with others again as a success for the Confederates. The London Times, in its consumption, then it must be very hard for a Confederates-General to win in the Northern States. In memories of the first day's fight, the Confederate and half a mile of the Federal battle field nineteen guns, and all the baggage, and yesterday lost the victory.
