 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.

Journal of Commerce we copy the an- nexed items of fintelligence:-
 The report of the Cholera Morbus in Hamburg and the burning of Antwerp, were premature.
 British Porlianae,a.- proceedings of Parliament possess but little interest, except perhaps q conversation which took place in the House of Commons on the 25th, in regard to tie object of the the squadron lately fitted out at Ports mouth.
 Captain Beldero said that he had re- gently seen at Portsmouth the largest fleet that had been collected there for the last sixteen years, and he wished to know from the First Lord ol the Adini- ralty what was the object ofputting the country to So great an expense.
 Sir J. Graham said that the fleet was not assembled for the purpose ol hes tie aggression on any foreign Power, neither was It assembled. for the mere purpose of experiment in naval science. The fact was, that the necessary evolu- tions in naval warfare required con siderable deal of preliminary practice, and all that was intended by the assem- bling of the feet at Spithead was to take advantage of the summer montbs in practising these eyolutions-( iIear.)
 The army and navy estimates were brought forward oii the same day viz :'2,0O0 men for the Navy, and 9S,496 for the army.
 With the above statement in regard 10 the British squadron, the following from the London Sun does not well agree. One thing is certain, ifthe fleet has any ulterior designation, such as that hinted below, the Government would not be desirous of communicating il to the public, while the enterprise was yet in its infancy:
 French aqed British SQuadrons.-We e shall not be surprised to learn, in a short time, that tho French squadron now on its way from Toulon to Lisbon, is des- tined to join the British squadron at Portsmouth, and both to proceed to the North Sea, for the purpose of giving eff feet to the remohstrances of England and France in favor of the Poles. Such q demonstration of unanimity would have more force with Nicholas than all the diplomatists in Europe; and such a display of naval might, he is very likely to behold in the Baltic before the end Nof July. The presumption of Russia has latterly overstepped the bounds of moderation, and the Autoerat must be now taught that endurance has itslimits.
 Ihe Nger.-Already application, we by some of our adventurous merchants, for licenses and protection, or for such facilities as Government can afford them, for navigating the Niger. We hear 1t projected immediately to des- patch steam-boats, and to try, if possi- ble, to open trading communication with Central Africa. It is a cnrious. and indeed a delightful speculation, to consider what the moral effect of this may be; Europe owes to Africa large debt for wrongs done, and sufferings caused; let us hope that she is now about 10 make reparation, and that commcrcewill introduce civilization and knowledge.
 France. The late rumor of another change in the French Ministry is not confirmed.
 1t has been stated in London by a pcrson. of high rank, who is known to possess the best means of information. that the French elections will go much against the Ministers, and that NJ. Gas slmlr Terrier and his colleagues must either give way to the liberal party, or retire from office. The liberal party demands: lst. The full execution. ofthe plans of July, as promised to Nj. i.atay- cite. 2d. The diminution by one.third. at least, Of the enormous civil list appro- prlatcd to the King. Sd. A declara- ton in flavor of the Poles. and a cordial alliance with Belgium.
 The King was expected back in the capital on the lst fJuly. He has ac celerated the convocation of the Cham Tbers from the 9th of August to the 23d sof July.
 ltis stated that the French Ministers have abandoned the suppors the prin- 9ciple of an hereditary peerage, in com. Pllance with the universal feeling ofthe country; and 1t is asserted, that change sipon the subject will be recommended in the Kings speech.
