hut in addition TO the combined armies OF
Windischgratz and Jellachich Gen. Bushnrr is

Nc from syria, so that there are no less than
$50, 900 men actually in the field against Hungary.
The Prince confidently hopes to terminate the |
campaign before the spring
The French Republic.
The greatest anxiety is now felt for the election
Of President, which will take place on the 10th Of
December. The correspondents OF the London
press continue to report the chances of LOUIS Ma
poleon much before Gen. Cavaignac; but from the
number OF members of the National Assembly who
have asked and obtained leave of absence, noto-
riously with the view TO canvass their departments
favor of the General, it appears rather ques.
uonable whe Their the Prince will stand so well. AS
The time app caches there does appear some reason
toqneson whether, even at this time, the prospects
OF Prince Louis are SO bright as they are repre-
sented
The red republicans and socialists, too, 1t must
be remembered, perslst in their intention to bring
candidate into the field and this will rsthero9e-
rate to the prejudice of the Prince: M. Ledru
Rollin has refused to accept The office, clogged
with certain conditions proposed to him by COM
mttee named by general meeting OF the social
lists. This want of unanimity among the red
republicans will destroy whatever chance they
might otherwise have had, OF securing return OF
their candidate, which, however, was very remote.
Indeed. as to the prospects OF the candidates tor

can only repeat what have written many times
Prince Louis Napoleon ia said to have the best chance
confess. however. my belief has been shaken
within the last "a hours by the knowledge that the
enormous power and influence possessed by the Pre-.
fects and other government authorities throughout
France both and will be- exercised in every possible
way and with oil possible vigor In the cleo
ton of General Cavaiguac. This with some dexteIity

The Eropcan Times says, General Cavalgnac
has Issued very temperate address, drawn up
with great good taste by Nj. Dufaure; but whilst
calmness and moderation run through every
sentence, we learn that he keeps his eve on the
muskets WHICH will virtually decide the future
contest, and he has permitted many OF the Ma
tionsl Guards in the worst quarters Paris, who
were disarmed in June, again to arm themselves.
Indeed, 1t is IN every body's mouth, that in the
event of defeat. on the hustings, most despe-
rate conflict in the streets, against the Bonapar-
lists, will take place.
From Italy we have very little news OF interest.
The threats of Charles Albert, of renewing the war,
have all subsidized, and the Austrlans having main
tanned their position In Lombardy. whilst their
own capital was in danger they will now doubtless
remain unmolested.
In Spain the Queens troops seem to have gained
battle IN Arragon, and dispersed the insurgents.
Seven republicans were executed on the 9th, a.
Huesca.
Denmark.
TIE news from the DANISH Duchies Is still of
the most wailike character, and the Danes insist
upon the dissolution of the newly installed conJoint
government IN Schleswig Hostein.
England.
Nothing of importance. The weekly accounts
of the Bank of England furnish no subject for
special remark.
The loan operations with the United States,
seem to have assisted IN equalizing in some de-
gree the par of exchange.
The total number OF cases of cholera In London
already reported from its first appearance. has
now reached 1059 of which 5l3 have proved fatal
and 33l still under treatment.
Ireland.
In Ireland, poverty and starvation, il Is con-
tended by many, will equal the suiferings of
the people during the memorable year 1916.
Men, even of rank and title, are said to be
spbslstng on yellow meal and the garbage OF
land, who had an income Of $4,000 a year,
has been so reduced as to accept the miserable of
flee of collector ct poo. rates. During the last
fortnight, the landlord shooting season appears to
have set IN in good earnest, and a long. catalogue
of these melancholy events are recorded In the
columns of the Irish newspapers.
A new insurrection is reported near Clonmel.
The facts are simply these "A number of la
borers, masops. shoemakers and others, being
periodically inclined, had been holding night con-
situations and reviews IN the vicinity Of Clonmel,
and on Wednesday week they were disturbed IN
their deliberations and performances, and seven
teen Of them were captured and lodged IN Jail.
This little incident was magnifed into rebellion.
Emigration continues upon a very large scale,
particularly from Cork, Waterford and Limerick.
Commercial Intelligence.
A feeling of greater confidence begins to prevail
among all classes of the mercantile community; still,
the transactions in the produce markets are not
tensive Money continues abundant and the rates Of
discount low. Prime bills at 2,.. and cash call ct

market generally; and may also remark - before
that cotton is held with more confidence and the
listing rates regarded extrmey low under the

ing crop. 1900 American and $50 Marsnham have
been taken speculation; and 1, 800 American and
400 Surats for export. The sales amount to 80 36o
bales.
The grain trade has assumed rather dull and de-
clining tendency The supplies Of home grown, Is
well as foreign, fully equal to the demand, and
buyers feel unwilling to speculate, prices on the
decline. According y. at Mark Lane, on Monday last,
wheat fell Is per quarter whilst sales for both that
