LATER EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

VIA MAURITIUS. (From the Sydney Morning Herald.) We translate the following late English and foreign intelligence from the Port Loms°Commercial Gazette, of the 7th of October last, being a summary of news received by the steamer Mozambique, which arrived at the Mauritius on the 6th of October with the overland mail up to the 9th of September. The Mozambique left Suez on the 16th of September, Aden on the 22nd of September, Seychelles on the 29th of the same month, and the Isle de la Reunion on the sth of October. We are indebted to Captain Moore, of the Robert Passenger for the Port Louis Commercial, from which we published some extracts yesterday. We have to report a rise of sixpence in the sugar market.

The cattle disease continues to be very prevalent in England. A Ministerial order has absolutely forbidden the introduction and transmission of horned cattle, as also that of untanned bides and other unmanufactured portions of animals of that description coming from England, from Holland, or from Belgium, whatever the Port or Custom-house station may be, throughout the whole (French) Empire. The Imperial Squadron has returned the international visit made to France by the British navy. The squadron was received at Portsmouth with the same welcome it had given at Cherbourg and at Brest to the British flag. The Imperial squadron has gone back to France.

The King of Portugal has requested the Emperor Napoleon to stand godfather to the youn<* prince, his son, and it is said that the Emperor has consented.

It is believed at Florence and at Rome that the French troops are about to commence the grodual evacuation of Rome at once.

A serious accident took place on the 2nd September on the London and Wolverhampton Railway. Several travellers were seriously injured. The Convention of the Mississippi State has, by a majority of 86 votes to 11, adopted an amendment in its constitution abolishing slavery. A royal decree, dated Thursday, the '6th September, has declared the ports of Berrianna and of the Carthagena to be infected with the cholera. Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain were, on the Bth September, to sleep at St. Sebastian, at which place the Emperor of the French was to arrive on the 9th. The King and Queen •of Spain were to return the visit by going to see the French Emperor and Empress at Biarritz. Two cases of cholera were reported, under the -date of the 2nd September, to have occurred at ■Gibraltar. The eolera had almost ceased at Ancona, and its intensity had diminished in other .localities.

The Emperor and Empress of the French and ♦he Prince Imperial left Fontainebleu on the 6th September for Biarriti.

Mr Cameron, the English consul so long detained in captivity by the Emperor of Abyssinia, has been set at liberty. ’

The opening of the Exhibition at Lisbon was to take place on the 18th of September, and the baptism of the young Prince on the 26th of that month. It was believed that the King of Portugal would assist at the two ceremonies, and that he would not leave Lisbon before the month of October. The sanitary state of the city was satisfactory.

A railway train was thrown off the line on the night of the 4th September, between Szegedina and Temeswar. Details are not given. Prince Joseph Bonaparte is dead, having attained to the age of forty-two years. By the last news an immense fire had taken place at Constantinople, which had destroyed not less than two thousand houses. Many mosques and several other public buildings had fallen a prey to the flames. The fire was still raging at the latest dates.

The Viennese papers of the 4th September state with confidence that Lord Napier and M. de Bismarck signed on the 16th August last, at Gastein, a navigation treaty between England and Prusia! This was the object of the journey of Lord Napier to Gastein.

It is stated at Vienna that the news of the intended convocation of the Gallician Diet next year is incorrect. It is affirmed that the Diets of all the provinces on this side of the Leitha will be assembled towards the Middle of November or at the commencement of December at the furthest.

The presence at Vienna of M. Schaefrner, director of the Austrian consulate at London is reported to be in cosequence of the intent ion of his Government to give him an important appointment in the ministerial department of Finance And Trade.

M. le Baron Halbhuber will not remain in Hoi--stem in the capacity of Associate-Commissioner (adjoint) in company with General Gamblentz. His mission is to cease as soon as the new Governor shall have taken possession of his office. Count Lagrange has carried off the highest prizes of the Turf at Baden.

_ The forty-eight first representations of the AfT%euvse at the Opera House at Paris have produced 624,000 francs. This is rather more than 10,800 francs for every performance of the opera. We extract from the Mesager de P Indo Chine the following resume of intelligence up to the 9th of September-

The news towards the end of the month of August, or rather the events of the last ten days have reawakened the attention of Europe, lying

dormant (so to speak) throught the calm state of the political world, and the influence of the season upon statesman, diplomatists deputies, and v . Thti sovereigns appear to be away on their holidays. M. de Bismarck alone has not slackened Ins ardent activity, and the convention oi Eastern has appeared to us in a triumphat position, happy m having acquired for Prussia that preponderance in Germany which Austria till now enjoyed. The convention, while that its arrangements are only of a provisional character, does Prussia a very good turn, and will permit her to proht by the disposition of the people of the JJuchies for unity, so as to withdraw Austria tnerefrom, the interests of that State being less then hers on the shores of the North Sea. In spite of all the efforts of the Prussian Minister, the sudden exuberance (if we may so express ourselves) of the Federal sentiments of Prussia, —the fine promises which she has made to the German nation, cannot inspire the slightest confidence. The breach is open, and M. de Bismarck will know how to widen it.

It is possible that Austria has desired by her concessions to gain time, and to raise her finances whilst getting her forces ready; but she has aroused in the second rate states an indignation which expresses itself in a freedom of language sometimes not very respectful to the Court of Vienna. She is now suffering the penalty of her taults, of her headstrong proceedings, and of that crafty policy which has resulted in isolating her, and leaving her ever surrounded by dangers which arise out of her internal organisation. Whilst the Emperor of France was occupied in Switzerland with a pious pilgrimage, visiting the places in which he lived with his mother (Queen Hortense), the navies of France and ot •England fraternised anew at Brest, where the most friendly and magnificent reception was given to our allies.

England is pre-occupied with the cattle disease (winch has burst out in every country), and with the insufficiency of the harvest of grain. The royal family is in Germany, and the Admiralty has been several days absorbed in attending to the fetes at Portsmouth, got up in honor of the Jbrench navy. . Spain is waiting the result of the general elections, and the Ministry is apparently striving to reform her finances, which the sale of the entailed property (les Hens de mainmortej ought greatly to benefit. ° J

Italy is beginning to be peacefully agitated in the prospect of the approaching dissolution of Parliament and the general elections. The Gastein Convention smiles on her in regard to the prospects thereby opened up, and her hopes of bringing about a unification of the kingdom, without having recourse to arms, have again arisen, whilst the negociations with Rome are bein'* renewed. The Holy Father himself comprehends that the Convention of the 15th September is a serious act, and that its execution is not to be receded from ; so he is already busied in augmentmg his army, for which he recruits in other places besides Rome.

Russia feels that she has need to husband her finances, to anply them to her internal improvements and to an organisation more in harmony wit h the present age. At the opening of the Canadian Parliament in North America, the President congratulated the Parliament on the good relations established with the Government at Washington, and expressed a hope that these relations would become yet more friendly when quiet was restored in the United States, and the good effects of the reciprocity could be appreciated. Up to the present time Mr Johnson, the President, recommend his Generals at Texas to observe the strictest neutrality towards Mexico. In Sooth America the position of the belligerents in Paraguay was pretty much the same as it was.

Ihe cholera in Europe is going on. Public anxiety is dissipated, and all going on as usual n atters having been only temporarily disturbed by the fear of that redoubtable epidemic, and by the intense heat of the season.
