LATE EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. (Translated from 1.0 Semaphore de Marseille.')

Paris, Friday, Jan. 26. The Constitutionnel) in an article signed " Limayrac," referring to M. Bigelow's despatches, states that it is clear that M. Drouyn de Lhuys could not give explanations respecting the acts of internal administration, for which the Mexican Government is alone responsible. A despatch from Bombay at the end of December states that on the Punjaub frontier there has been an insurrection in the valley of Doondkar. The habitations of three important localises have been invaded on the English territory, and pilJ«gfld, The insurgents soon retired; and

- some English troops having arrived, b marched acrainst them, retook the spoil, 1 destroyed the resorts of the plunderers, s and captured the chief offenders. Ma~dblo, Jan. 25. ■5 The Spanish Senate, ifl their reply to tho Royal message, deplores the" resumption of • hostilities with Chili-: but, after the refusal 6f satisfaction by the Chilians, the ■ Senate cannot but btfp6 that the Govern1 ment will cause the honor 6* Spain ,tb be ; respected. The Senate applauds ttte ittterior reforms indicated in the Royal message. . , General Zavalla recalled, had returned to Madrid on the morning of the 24th. Berlin, Jan. 24. / The Correspondence Provincialo states that the Government will resist, as it ought to do, the pretensions of the Chamber to vote on the Lauenbourg question, as being an encroachment on the rights of the Crown. The samo paper notices in the' speech of the Emperor of the French a refutation of the assertions of the Austrian press on the subject of foreign intervention, and a confirmation of the point of view which rules in Prussia ; that is to say, that the question of the duchies can only be solved in accordance with the interests of Prussia. Floeenoe, Jan. 26. Ixi the Legislative Chamber, M. Catucci has opened out a project for the suspension of the appointments of members holding public office during the Parliamentary session. M. D'Ondes Reggio and tlie Minister of the Interior are opposed to tlie measure, as unfavourable to the interests of liberty and justice, and to those of the publio service,. It has not yet been debated, iJBBNE, Jan. 26. Yesterday evening, after a discussion which lasted twelve hours, the Grand Council has thrown out, for a time at least, by 111 votes against seventy-seven, the , proposal to grant a subsidy to the -S. Gotehardlin'. pkb oiteviftr.K' x:ti> co. (ricutbu's agents.) Bkbnk, Jan. 25. After a debate of twelve hours duration, the Great Council of Switzerland haa provisionally rejected, by 111 voted ugaint>t 77, the motion foY granting a subsidy for the line of railway through the St. Gothard (the mountain over which Napoleon passed in hia Italian campaign.) The Hague, Juh 25. • The Cabinut k in a state of dissoluiion. The JVliniti'try have placed their resignation in the hdmU of (he King. It is belicvi'd that His Majority intends to entrust the Secretary of > In.* i "oloniea with tlie formation of a new Ministry. The " Moniteur 1 ' says that the? oubmarine cable between between Leghorn and Corsica has been most successfully Marseilles, Jan. 27. After five years' experience of free trade itf ia" evident that French industry has Hoiking to fear from its English, Belgian, German, Italian, or Swiss rivals,- provided we persevere in the road 1 of progress. The principal articles which we import from England are the raw materi&to necessary for our industry — such as cotton, wool, silk, iron, and copper. As to French exports to England, the advantage continues on our side. This has been really our field of battle on the treaty of commerce with England. Thus the 544,000 netric quintaux of cereals exported to England in 1864 have increased to 1,352,000 in 1865, and the 47,550 head of cattle exported hi 1854, had increased to 105,592 in 1865. From Paris we hear that the rumors which were prevailing in the best quarters concerning Mexico and the United , States had occasioned a depression in' the funds, and also a panic. These rumors probably have relation to some American documents published laafi night (tho 26th) by some of the Paris papers'. Brussels, Jan. 26. Ftom Spain we hear that General .Zavaia has beeli recalled to Madrid, to make arrangements for sending reinforcements to the fleet operating against Chili, in the Pacific The fear in the Ministerial circles in Paris, \ij that the first success of tho Chilians over the Spanish forces will render the friendly interference of England and France more diffitult. In fact, that Spain, humbled in her amour propre t will feel more anxious to have her revenge, and being deaf to every advice tending to moderation, will exact from Chili entire submission. Tims the present condition of things in that country may become greatly aggravated, and it is in view of this eventuality that the two Western Powers ha\ c already increased their naval forces of observation in the Pacific. A most important question ha* just been solved in the Netherlands (Holland) by a large majority of the two Chambers. The separation of the church and state has been resolved upon, after very interesting debates, and this great principle will be immediately carried into effect. The Government will pay the salaries of the clergy of all denominations, but in no way interfere with the clerical appointments, the discipline, or internal management of the affairs of the several churches.
