LATEST Ilil/IELLIGENOZ.

DIBTURBANCTS IN GENEVA.
BERNE, AtiOIIIIT 23.
Disturbances have broken out in Geneva. Bar-
ricades have been erected, and blood shed.
The government of the canton being unable to
re-establish order called for Federal intervention.

The Federal Council thereupon sent M. For-
merod as special commissioner to the scene
of the outbreak. He has entered Geneva with a
battalion of militia.

AUSTRIA.
VIF.NNA, Atiaosr 23.
Herr von Bismarck had a long conference with
Count Hochberg yesterday.
The statement of some foreign journals, that a
project for Federal reform, drawn up by Herr ♦on
Bismarck, would be the subject for negotiations, is,
in well-informed circles, considered unfounded.

AMERICA AND EGYPT.
ALEXANDRIA, Avoca 22.

The differences between the American consul
and the Egyptian government have been settled,
and the former has resumed his relations with the
government.
Nubar Pacha has arrived here, and left imme-
diately for Cairo.

His Majesty, with a financial acuteness for which
he deserves credit, directs his commission to study
the state of the Treasury, and to inquire into and
remedy the causes which have hitherto made the
expenses in excess of the receipts. He then points
out that the principal revenue of Mexico has been
derived from the taxes placed on exterior com-
memo. His Majesty thinks that this source of
revenue should be handled with great prudence
' and moderation, for commerce with foreign nations
makes powerful friends.
It will be curious to watch under a regular
administration the amount of wealth which Max-

ieo is capable of producing. The subject was
hotly debated in the Corps Loginlatif during the
last session ; these in favour of the expedition attri-
buting to that country boundless mineral and other
treasures, whilst the opposition remained sceptical,
even M. Thins. Motley, in some remarks which
he made on a letter written by Philip of Spain to
Cardinal Grandvelle, in which the monarch sadly
complained of want of money, made the fol-
lowing remarks :—" Thus the man who owned all
America and half Europe could only raise a million
of ducats a year from his estates. The possessor
of Mexico and Peru could reckon nothing worth men-
tioning from his mines, and derived a precarious in-
come from permissions granted to his subjects to
carry on the slave trade and to eat meat on Fri-
days."

A great many German volunteers are daily en-
listing for service under the Emperor lifaximilian.
These men will have no sinecure ; the large bodies
of Juanita may be broken up, but the country is
unsettled, and will long continue so.
Very little business was done in the Bourse until
after 2 o'clock, although there was • tendency to a
rise. An article in the Economist, exhorting the
Bank of England to raise its discount, was a good
deal spoken of. There was a decline in Consols,
which by some was attributed to recent disturbances
in Ireland.

OPENING OF THE NORTHERN OF SPAIN
RAILWAY.

(arum's arms.)
MADRID, Arrays? 18.
The Corropondencia de Espana contains the fol-
lowing account of the inauguration of the Northern
of Spain Railway by the King of Spain :

The of inauguration of the Northern Railway wu
brilliant an act se the importance of the event demanded.
It is not easy to adequately desaibe the great event sir
bested on the 15th intl. with ostentatious splendour by
two nations between whom the bonds of unity are daily
strengthening. But without indulging in reflections which
neither time nor the scope of our periodical permits, we
shall proceed to condense as much as possible in the alight
sketch we propose to give.
A spacial train, composed of ten int.cdses curious and
two vans, left Madrid on Sunday with about 300 of the per-
sons invited to the inauguration, among whom were persons
of all the most distinguished social classes el the court. Th•
journey was made without soy other contretemps than some
slight showers of rain, which, however, far from causing
annoyance, served to lay the duet on the road.
At a little past 11 p.m. supper was served in the Valle
dolid station ; after which the train proceeded on its way
without further detentions than were neosinary, arriving at
its destination at about 10 a.m. The wringers were much
impressed by the gigantic works at the head of the lino and
the beauty of the surrounding country.
The brilliant royal train had stopped at Vittoria, mime, as
at all other places, especially upon that bank of the Ebro,
the King met with an enthusiastic reception. The invited
guests now occupied themselves in changing their dusty
travelling costume for the more elegant dress coat and white
cravat.

At half-put 11 the train arrived from Paris, and
at 12.15 the royal train, drawn by the locomotives Simmons
and Adanero. The King wu accompanied by his suite and
the liinisters of the Interior and Public Works, the Bishop
of Vittoria, and, among other persons, by a great
part of the board of directors ot the railway, including
K. Lase Pereire, who had gone to Vittoria to receive his
Mejeety.
Among other eminent personages the Infant Dos Enrique
the Marquises' of Duero and Ilabana, the Count of Emu-
late, and many more (fault to enumerate, was expected
at San Sebastian.

The royal train wee driven by the Engineers Senoras
Conejo and Ramirez, and Mr. Tibau, the traffic manager.
Salvos of artillery from the maths announced the arrival
of the royal suite, widths cheers of the immense multitude,
mingling with the strains of music, rent the air with their
echoes.

The station was very handsomely decorated. On the
right, coming from Madrid, ware several amphitheatres of
seats elegantly disposed, occupied by the principal inhabi-
tants of San Sebastian and the province, and many persons
from Madrid. The seats in the centre were destined for
the royal party. Immediately opposite them eau erected
an elegant chapel, a species of temple covered with glazed
cotton, decorated with golden fringe, in which stood
a rich altar adorned with flowers. Here were assembled
the Bishop of Vittoria and the assistant clergy, and here the
ritual was intoned, accompanied by an organ and a fine
choir of voices.

The King participated from his tribune in thin act after
having retired for a short time to a pavilion covered in
silk and elegantly furnished, which had been prepared for
him. The religious ceremony finished, the company mead
to the immense dining saloon, which accommodated more
than 650 persons. The table at the upper end of the ball,
to which the other tables stood at right angles, was ocoupied
by the King, Don Enrique, the high functionaries of Spain
and France, and the authorities. The King addressed some
words to the assembly. The Marquis of Duero and Senator
Aldan= also spoke.
At half-put 2 the King quitted hie mat, at 3 o'clock
continued his journey amid prolonged and enthusiastic
cheering—the vivas of the French guest' being by no means
the faintest. A dependent of the company approached the
royal train, and gave a hearty " Viva el Rey" on behalf of
his fellow-servants.

The Ministers accompanied the Kin as far as Holiday%
and then returned for the night.
At 5 o'clock the other guests departed, eon» to Madrid,
others to Paris. During the repast regattas were held oo
the river. lii the evening there were illuminations and
fireworks. The town wore an air of general festivity, and
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
