European Intelligence.

[The following European intelligence to the 21st of June, we copy from the second edition of the Sydney Empire, September 21.]

Intelligence had been received of the evacuation of the Soujak Kali by the Russians. Previously to their retirement the troops destroyed about sixty heavy guns and mortars, and also the principal buildings. It was concluded that they had joined the garrison of Anapa. The weekly medical report states that the cholera had sensibly diminished before Sebastopol, but it had attacked the Guards and 31st Regiment, near Balaclava, and some new batteries. It was hoped that the disease would pass away, as it had from tho stations where it first appeared. It had fallen heavily on the Sardinian contingent, and General Marmora, of the 2nd division, had been very seriously attacked. The Euphrates arrived at Marseilles on Tuesday night, the 19th June, and brought intelligence from the Crimea. It is stated that the Mamelon, when attacked, was defended by no less than twenty battalions of Russian troops. The French and Turks occupied it when the Euphrates left, and had turned 15 Russian guns upon the defences of Sebastopol. Two English battalions had -succeeded in penetrating into the Redan, and had spiked all the Russian guns there, but had been finally compelled to retire.

A Russian official report says, that the number of seamen at Sebastopol is so reduced that this corps can as such, no longer be employed in any action of importance.

The correspondent of the Vienna Military Journal, writing from Balaklava, says— " The state of health of the army leaves much to be wished for : and, as great discontent has crept into the French camp since the bloody affair of the 23rd, General Pelissier is considering the propriety of adopting General Niel's plan, which was rejected last March, in order to raise the spirits of the army by a brilliant feat of arms."
