FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

FRANCE.-On Tuesday, the Emperor reviewed the
troops at Satory. His Majesty commanded the troops
throughout a variety of manceuures, which were executed
with "Teat accuracy and spirit ; and, when all had ended,
the troops were formed into three sides of a square, the
carriages of the Empress and of the court, and a conside-
rable crowd of spectators, occupying the fourth side. The
Emperor then proceeded into the centre of the square,
accompanied by a numerous staff and a large body of
foreign officers—Austrian, English, Piedmontese, and
Dutch. His Majesty, having on his right Prince Napoleon,
and on his left General Prince Jablonowski, of the Austrian
service, then delivered an address to the troops, which was
received with loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur Vive
l'lmpiratrice !" After a distribution of medals the troops
filed off before their Majesties.
An express, dated Thursday, announces the arrival of
the Emperor and Empress at Arras, on their tour through
the north, and describes the preparations made to receive
them. These, it seems, are of almost unprecedented
magnificence.

The Emperor and Empress continued their journey on
Friday morning from Arras to Douai, Valenciennes, and
Lille.

The revolutionary party are watching with anxiety the
progress of events in the east; in the hopes of profiting by
their further complication. It is rumoured that another
attempt, similar to the recent one at Rome, is in course of
preparation.
SPAlN.—Private letters from Madrid of the 12th, state
that the deposition of the Queen is a topic pretty generally
discussed in political circles, and persons who had been
hitherto no very warm friends of Marshal Narvaez, ex-
press a wish for him to return and place himself at the
head of affairs, as he, perhaps, is the only man who can
save her tottering throne. The Queen-Mother is expected
back to Madrid the end of this month or the beginning of
October.—A subsequent despatch announces the downfal
of the Lersundi cabinet. The new ministers are Sartorius,
Interior and President of the Cabinet ; Blaser, War ;
Domenech (Progresista), Finance ; the Marquis de 'Violins,
Marine, or State (Foreign Affairs). The other names are
not mentioned. The last named is now in Paris. He in-
tends setting out for Madrid immediately, but has not yet
made up his mind as to accepting any place in the new
cabinet until he has an interview ,with the Queen, and has
ascertained the line of policy traced out for the ministers.
HOLLAND.—On Monday the States-General were re-
opened, after a brief address, by the King in person.
Some degree of sensation has been created in Holland
by a Royal decree, conferring the order of the Lion of the
Netherlands on M. Drouyn de Lhuys. It is no secret at
the Hague that the French Ambassador at the Dutch
Court, acting no doubt under instructions, warmly sup-
ported the formation of the present Cabinet, having
throughout shown himself hostile to the Thorbecke
I administration. _ _

ITALY.--The Duke of Casigliano was to leave Florence
on the 18th for Paris, with his son, who is to be married
to the eldest daughter of Queen Maria Christina. The
marriage was long ago arranged by Prince Corsini, and
the young couple are to fix their residence at Rome.
A letter from Bologna of the 13th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, states that serious disturbances
have occurred at Term and Narni, on account of the rise
hi the price of bread. Troops have been sent thither to
maintain order. n

TURKEY.—Accounts from Constantinople of the Bth in-
stant, stated that the excitement in favour of war was
daily increasing, and that to restrain the ardour of the
people had become a difficult task for the Government. A
serious dispute is said to have occurred between the English
and French Ambassadors, the latter being favourable to
the united fleets passing the Dardanelles, while the former
opposed the proceeding. Later intelligence, dated the 11th,
represents the state of affairs as becoming more serious..
Great devisions prevailed in the Cabinet—on the one side,
Redschild Pacha and Moustapha Paella, and on the other
Mehemet Ali, the Seraskier.
The mounts wrier both the above dates speak with the

utmost alarm of the growing tendency
to insist on war. Placards threatening

,mong the people
insurrection had

ueen posted on tue watts oi uonsTantinopie. a pentim
was being circulated, and has obtained a large number o
signatures, in which the Ministers were called upon eithe

stated, that 'a
deputation of Ulemas had demanded war
with Russia, or the abdication of the Sultan.

The relations between the Porte and the two Hospodars
are in the same unsettled condition. The Council of Mi-
nisters of Constantinople have taken the orders of the
Sultan, deciding on informing the Hospodars that the or-

der of recal would not be insisted on, Provided they con-
tinued to perform their duty of allegiance to the Porte.
The fleets have passed the Dardanelles ; at least, three
ships of the French and three of the English fleet have
anchored in the Sea of Marmora. This step was considered
absolutely necessary by the English and French Ambas-
sadors, in consequence of the menacing state of affairs.
The event took place on the 14th or 15th inst., and by the
present time there is no doubt that the remaining ships of
both fleets have followed. From the moment this attitude
was taken, the period of negociations must be considered

to have closed.

By the last accounts from Wallachia, the Russian troops
had abandoned their camp near Bucharest, and. had Moved

higher up the Danube. The Turks had made a corres
ponding movement on their side of the river.

AUSTRIA.—The Emperor left Vienna on the 15th inst.,
for the camp at Ohniitz. He was accompanied by Prince
Louis of Bavaria, the Archdukes Charles Louis, Charles
Ferdinand, and Ernest, and of course by Count Grunne.
In the evening, he was received with great pomp and
state. The town was illuminated. Baron Mayendorff had
left the Austrian capital for Warsaw, to receive the Czar,
whom he will accompany to Olmiitz. They were ex-
pected on the 23d. Lord Westmoreland, too, was to leave
for Olmiitz on that day, and to remain till the 27th.
The Duke of Cambridge has arrived at Olmiitz. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed at Vienna when the crown
of St. Stephen, escorted by a large number of Hungarian
magnates reached the capital. The escort was headed by
the Archduke Albert.

The following despatch is dated Vienna, the 19th inst. :
—At a meeting of the conference, Austria, as the mediat-
ing power, does not adhere, in its full extent, to the pro-
posal of the two western powers, to give to the Porte, in a
collective note, a guarantee against the future interference
of Russia between the Sultan and his subjects. Count
Buol has declared that the project of a note, submitted by
M. Drouyn de Lhuys, is not sufficiently urgent in the
sense of acceptance. Energetic instructions have been
transmitted to M. de Bruck that, as circumstances do not
permit collective action, each power is at liberty to give
such guarantee as it may seem fit ; but that it is neces-
sary, above all, to insist, with the Porte, upon the accep-
tance of the original note. The conference considers the
state of affairs at Constantinople very serious.
DENMARK.—The annual meeting of the Diet is fixed by
royal decree for the sth and 7th of October. The Schleswig
Provincial Diet is to meet on the 3rd of the same month.
At Copenhagen the cholera has, it is hoped, died out.
On the 12th instant the returns gave, two attacked, and
one dead ; total number of cases to that date, 7,477 ; of
which 4,059 have been fatal.
SWEDEN.—This country is still suffering severely from
cholera. In Gothenburg, up to the 10th, there were 224
sick, and 104 dead, and in the adjoining Majorna, 248
sick, and 95 dead ; in Norkiipimg, up to the 7th, 283 sick,
and 90 dead ; in Malmii, up to the Bth, 26 sick, and 17
dead ; in Borstahusene, near Landskrona, up to the 9th,
56 sick, and 13 dead. In Ystad, up to the 6th, 319 sick,
and 177 dead. In Kariskrona, up to the sth, 1,670 sick,
and 875 dead. In Stockholm, up to the 6th, 1,485 sick,
and 744 dead. It has also broken out in a multitude of
towns and villages all over the country. In no part of
Sweden has the cholera been so fatal as in Karlskrona, the
dockyard stationed in the south, which has about 13,000
inhabitants, of whom 875 have already been carried off.
A large proportion of the victims has been among the
officers and higher class, a result probably to be attributed
to the bad water.

NORWAY.—The cholera is making sad havoc. On the
Bth the numbers in Christiana were —sick, 62 ; dead, 36 ;
total, 1,056 sick, of whom 662 have expired. The disease
has now broken out in Christiansand.

RIISSIA.—The Emperor was to arrive at Olmiitz on the
24th, accompanied by the Cesaravitch, the Grand Duke
Nicholas, and the Prince of Prussia, and attended by
Prince Laskeswitch, Count Orloff, and the Chancellor
Nesselrode. His Majesty was expected in the camp on
the 25th.

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA

By the British and North American royal mail steam-
ship Europa, Captain Lang, which arrived on Sunday, we
have advices from New York to the 13th and Boston to
the 14th instant.

The Europa sailed from Boston at 10 30, p.m., on the 14th,
and at 540, a.m., on the 16th,arrived at Halifax. After em-
barking the mails, &c., she again proceeded to sea,and passed
Cape Clear at 2, p.m., on the 24th. She saluted the Rock
Light at 1 45, p.m., on the 25th, having made the run in
10 days, 17 hours, and 45 minutes.
The Europa brought 78 passengers and $170,226 in
specie on freisjht.
_ . . . .

The Asia, from Liverpool, arrived out on the Bth instant.
The screw steamship Taurus, from Liverpool, reached
Boston on the 9th instant.
From New York we learn that the extreme heat of the
weather, which had been for some time prevalent, had
somewhat abated.

The screw steamship City of Manchester arrived at
Philadelphia from Liverpool on the 9th instant.
The resignation of Mr. Robert J. Walker, of the mission
to China, had been accepted by the President, and it was
probable his successor would be soon appointed. General
Cass had written a letter, fully endorsing and approving
the principles and policy of President Pierce and his cabi-
net to the present datc.
A telegraphic despatch from Niagara Falls, dated the
9th instant, states that, on the morning of that day, the
remainder of the Table Rock fell with a tremendous crash.
Messrs. Train and Co., of Boston, contemplate building
a line of screw-steamers to run monthly between that
port and Liverpool, and for that purpose have purchased a
shipyard at Neponset. The vessels will be between 2,000
and 3,000 tons. The average daily attendance at the New
York Exhibition was between 5,000 and 6,000 persons.
A sad accident had occurred on board the steamer Bay
State, on her passage from Fall River to New York, on
the Bth instant. It appears the crank-pin broke suddenly,
and the " walking-beam " falling upon the engine, knocked
the cap off the cylinder, and thus caused a tremendous
rush of steam, by which ten of her passengers were so
severely scalded that two young ladies died shortly after-
wards, after having been taken to the hospital.
A locomotive had exploded on the Georgetown and New-
bury Railway, killing the fireman, and blowing his remains
a distance of 150 rods. None of the passengers were
injured.
The caloric ship Ericsson was lying at the dock of
Messrs. Hogg and Delamater's works, foot of North
Thirteenth-street. All the supply and working cylinders
of the original construction had been removed, with their
pistons, heaters, levers, regenerators, and air pipes. But
there had been retained the bed plate, the principal
framing, shafts, cranks, the beautiful valve movement,
and even the connecting rods which, in the old arrange-
ment, transferred the motion from the working beams
to the crank. In place of the four huge sets of cylin-
ders standing perpendicularly, there are to be two mode-
rately-sized cylinders on the line of the keel, and inclined
towards each other, making an angle with the keel of about
45 degrees. The supply cylinders are of the same stroke,
four in number. One is placed on each side of each work-
ing cylinder, and worked from the crosshead in the same
manner as punips are often placed, on each side of the air-
pump, in condensing marine engines. It will thus be
seen that the present engines of the Ericsson comprise two
working and four supply cylinders. The working cylinders
are each six feet in-diameter, with eight feet stroke. Speak-
ing theoretically of both arrangements, these two moderate-
sized double-acting engines are designed to be as efficient
as the four large single-acting ones previously employed,
in consequence of working with a higher pressure. In
these engines the same air is to be used repeatedly under
a high pressure. This is the difference between the present
and the former engines of the Ericsson. The regenerator,
in a different form, but acting on precisely the same prin-
ciples, and with, it is presumed, precisely the same effect
for good or ill, is retained, and continues to be relied on as
the chief economic feature. This is the fundamental
feature of the caloric-engine, and the supposition that it had
been given up would be equivalent to supposing the caloric-
engine "an obsolete idea," which is yet far from being
the case.

Patrick Sneed, whose arrest was so desperately opposed
by the coloured waiters at one of the hotels at Niagara
Falls some days ago, has been discharged, by Judge Jones,
at Buffalo, upon the ground that there are no papers to
warrant his detention either as a fugitive slave or as the
alleged murderer of Mr. Jones, of Savannah.
Accounts from the Utah territory mention the occur-
rence of hostilities between the Indians and the Mormons.
At Somersett, Ohio, a riot had occurred between the Irish
navvies. The troops had been called out, and a number of
the rioters shot. The mail steam-ship Georgia, with the
mails from California, had been severely damaged off Cape
Hatteras, and compelled to put into Norfolk. During an
alarm of fire at Philadelphia, on the 11th instant, the
Franklin Hose Company, while passing the Hibernia hose-
house, were fired upon by persons inside. None of the
Franklin's members were hurt, but a member of the

window at the time, was shot dead. Fourteen persons
were arrested in the Hibernia-house, on whom were found
two revolvers and other firearms.
Bishop Doane's case was causing some excitement at
Camden, New Jersey. The court of bishops assembled on
the 7th, and the documents having been read, Bishop
Doane proceeded to speak to his motion to dismiss the
presentment, and concluded by desiring that the papers
submitted by him be entered on the record of the court.
On this motion the court was again cleared, and pend-
ing a 'discussion on the proposition, they adjourned till
Thursday.

to go into effect on that day, and by which many impor-
ts were made in the administration of public

affairs.

Dates from Oregon, to the 13th of August, state that
the Pacific Railroad exploring party, under Capt. M'Clel-
land, which left Vancouver's Island in July, were at the
base of Mount St. Helen's. Immigration was coming
into Oregon, and the colony was in good health.

Sandiich-Islands papers to the 2d of July, received by
way of San Francisco, mention the alarming spread of the
small-pox among the natives. From thirty to forty
deaths occurred daily. Fears were entertained of the de-
signs of France upon .these islands. Two Anierica.n ships
of war were, however, in the vicinity. The Court News-
man, of Honolulu, reports :—" On the 24th of June the

King received in his palax

of the United States ship Portsmouth, and, afterwards,
