FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.

,vcrp received from her in that city early Tues
dav morning The following is an abstract OF
the lates, intelligence from Europe.
ENGLAND.
Tin cholera in London was slightly on the
increase. and also in Edinburgh.
'Fhe ASPECT Of commercial affairs has been
,ery encouraging, and a good trade during
the course OF the ensuing Spring IS antici-
psted.
luriao the last fortnight have been on an ex-
tended scale, although the weather has been
quite unG,vorable for allowing steady arrival
Of ships from abroad. Under these eircum
stances, the amount Of business done in our
grain market has been moderate aud con-
sned to the Immediate wants Of the trade,
and entirely devoid of any spirit OF 'pecula-
ton.
Owing to the falling of Of the demand from
Iretnd. the stock of wheat, flour, and Indian
corn has greatly increased. Holders in gen.
cral are yery free; -four in bond sells slow
" at 24s Cd to 25s Cd; and for duty paid,
the demand is chiefly retail, at 26s Cd to 27s
per barrel.
IRELAND.
The Irish law officers of the Crown are in
mus with regard 10 the prosecution Of Mr.;
DUFFY. As vet there is. ne trial; the legal
acunen Of AIR. Dufiy's counsel has torn from
under the Attorney Generals feet the great
part Of the charge he preferred against the
prisoner.
On Tuesday next. the Judges are to pro-
nounce their Judgment on the writ OF error
brought by Mr.. Smith O'Brien, Meagher and
Others. 1t is rumored thai the Judges will be
divided on the occasion. here will, however,
be another Opportunity 10 haze the question a
gain brought forward, viz, in the House OF
Lords. No further steps have been taken IN
the case of Mir. Martin.
FRANCE.
An effort NAV be made by the Chamber TO
continue embodied, in order to pass such or
yaaic laws as they may deem necessary, out
already the committee of Legislation has pre-
scented report containing a proposition 10
have an election on the 4th Of March next,
AID that the New Assembly should meet on the
18th of March.
a discussion Of the report was fixed to take
place on the 10th. Let events turn which
wav thew may, it seems unavoidable, thai the
President must either have larger power rom
ferrel upon him, or assume it BY direct or ill.,
direct means, or that some fresh straggle for
power must ctisue.
The new President seems occupied in CIV
ing grand receptions TO men of eminence Of
every shade Of political opinions. When he APP
pear, in public, the populace receive him with
every demonstration Of respect, and MS urbane
manners towards all classes gain him friends
everywhere.
There have been some disturbances in the
Bato rnelles, near Paris, but they were con-
fined to that loyalty.
The French funds are rather lower. The
uncertainty which prevails respecting the pat
rioti,,n of the Chamber in being willing 20 dis
polve without political struggle, is the main
cause Of the depression.-Trade-h however, has
materially improved throughout Franco.
The President has determined that the list
Of the caudidars for the Wise Presidency shall
he NJ. Odilon Barrot Abbatacei, and Boulay
Il. la Deurthe NJ Odilon Barrot Will IN
.loubtedlv be chosen by the Assembly. Du-
in IRE it is said, will succeed Odilon Barrot, as
Minister of Justice II. Dc RerRusat refuses
to Join any cabinet Of which NM. Mole and
Theirs arc not members.
ITALY.
The affairs Of Italy remain in satu quo and
fac refusal of Austria to be bound by any me-
diation of friendly powers, makes it doubtful
whether TIE negotiations at Brussels will ever
be held. and still more doubtful whether they
will lead TO any satisfactory result. 1t is sand
that the Pope is in great dependency at Gae-
ia; whilst. however. Austria, Naples md
Spain seem TO be forming an alliance, with
view 10 aid him.
The Papal authority has ceased TO exist in
Rome. and a new Constituent Government is
to be formed upon a basis of universal suffrage.
\ rumor was current that tho Pope had sent
nm oncvcliral letter TO confirm all his conces-
sions, provided no more be demanded Of him.
and then he would curn 10 Rome.

Sardinia dssuivcd the Chamber of Deputies,
ordered new elections on the 18th inst, and

ums and Universities of The Lombardo-N enc
tian Kingdom is Indefinitely postponed, The
Cuncordia of Turin, of the 9th, announces
from private correspondence, that emigration

nous extent, the fugitives. being mostly Young
men of tho age fixed BY Radetzki for military

SICILY.
We have some reports that the SicilanS
have attacked the outposts Of the Neapolitans.
The probability is, that the King Of Naples is
DESTROYS Of Selling any pretence Of re-conquer-
ing Sicily and altogether, the position of the
two Sicilies is most unsatisfactory. France and
England appear to have gone to the uttermost
point in cndeavoring to Stave off hostilites,
and the Neapolitan King seems bent upon re-
conquest.
SPAIN.
The Journal of the Eastern Pyrenees, of
January 9TH, says, bloody combat had taken
place between the Carlis, Mentemolinist chief.
