UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF TILE EUROPA.

The royal !nail steamer Europa, Cuptaio Lang,
arrived in the Mersey on Satanlay night, at half-past
ten o'clock, from Boston via Halifax, with the usual
mails, 26 passengers, and 180,000 dots, inspecie.
The Europa left Boston on the 12th and Halifax
on the 13th, at lo.la p.m., and received there, by
electric telegraph, news from New York of the 13th
instant.

The chief matter of political interest is the rejection
by Mr. Webster of the terms prolapsed by Spain for
the settlement of the Cuban difficulty, and fur a
better understanding between the two countries.
The proposition was for the American government
to invite the Spanish consul to return to New Orleans,
to bring him in a national vessel, and to salute the
Spanish Hag over him, and further to restore the value
of the property of the consul, and of the Spanish
citizens of New Orleans, which was destroyed by the
rioters. In ease this proposition should be rejected,
the minister was instructed to demand his passports
and return. Of course. therefore, M. de Calderon de
la Maria is in a diplomatic category.
The state and federal elections throughout a great
part of the union are attracting much attention in
Now York ; the democrats almost everywhere gained
considerably upon the whigs in the return of the
most important officers. In the State of New York,
says a journal, the leading parties have been nearly
equally balanced, owing to the complication pro-
duced by tickets formed on collateral issues. From
the returns thus far received, we are unable to state
the finsl result with any certainty, but according to
present appearances, it may be anticipated that a
portion of the candidates on each ticket, whig and
opposition, have been elected. The character of
the legislature cannot yet be predicted, though
we believe the Senate will be whig. In
Louisiana, the whigs received a portion of the
union opposition vote, and have carried the State.
This insures a whig or union senator to congress for
the next ensuing term of six years. The represen-
tation to Congress is of the same political character
as before, one whig, and three opposition, all pledged
to maintain the principles of the compromise on the
slavery question. Maryland has given a majority
for the opposition candidates fur the principal state
officers. In the legislature, the senate will be whig,
and the house of delegates opposition. In Wiscon-
sin, the whigs, in conjunction with the free
soilers, have had a decided victory, electing
the governor, and carrying that young and enter-
prising state for the first time. It is supposed that
the legislature will be whig. We have no definite
returns from Massachusetts, in which state the elec-
tion was held on the 10th inst. In New Jersey, an
opposition legislature is elected, aided by the influ-
ence of the anti-monopoly party, which is hostile to
the exclusive railroad privileges granted in that state.
In Mississippi, the union ticket has prevailed by a
large majority for the legislature and congress men.
Senator Foote is elected governor by a small majo-
rity over Jefferson Davis, the regular opposition
southern rights candidate. Michigan, as usual, has
carried the opposition ticket. Hobert
ex-member of congress, is elected governor by a very
large majority.
Adviccs from Port-an-Prince to the 23rd of Octo-
ber, announce that the emperor had complied with
the demand of foreign powers, and had concluded a
trace for one year with the Dominicans. He was
also to give one year's notice of the commencemens
of hostilities.

The Nova Scotia Legislature opened its session on
the 4th iust. The speech of Sir John Harvey was
exclusively devoted to the railroad question. Ho
distinctly stated that the home government had
offered to aid both lines.

NEW YORK Nov 11

Since my last we have had i:fewcinisylitter intel-
ligence from the south and west.
We have dates from Havannah to the Ist inst.
The news is without interest. Mr. Thrasher is in
prison, and his brother with him. It is alleged that
they are implicated in the late conspiracy of Lopez. I
Apropos to this is a rumour from Washington, that
the Spanish minister has proposed to settle the diffi-
culties between his country and ours in the follow-
ing manner:—When the new Spanish consul arrives
at New Orleans and hoists his flag, it is to be saluted
by a discharge of artillery. The damages sustained
by the Spaniards in that city from the mob to be
paid for. 'I he same salute is to be given the Ameri-
can flag at Havannah, and the American prisoners
of war are then to be sent home. This offer is said
co be with Mr. Webster, and under consideration.
The Miaissippi steamer arriKsl here yesterday
morning. The Hungarians are still on boiird. The
officers of the vessel contradict the stories of a dis-
reement or rupture between Captain Long and
Kossuth. The latter made a profound impression
upon the officers of the ship. They arc loud in his
praise. I send you extracts from our papers, which
give a full account of the voyage.
The result of the election in this state is not yet
accurately understood. A mixture of whigs and de-
mocrats has succeeded. It is believed that we shall
have a democratic president to succeed Mr. Fillmore.
Two eminent citizens of New York departed this
life on Sunday last, Dr. Kearney Rogers and Gardner
Howland, of the firm of Howland and Aspinwall.
Both were well known in your country. Mr. How-
land fell dead in his own house after he had returned
from church. He died worth a million of dollars.
The beginning of his fortune was a shipment of a
sow and nine pigs to the Island of (Alba. He was
very greatly respected.
The Baltic arrived here the same day with the
Canada, beating her about 24 hours.
