Cunard company by the Spanish Government, has
proceeded to Cadiz, whence, on the 18th inst,
Gen. Concha, the newly appointed Captain-G General
Of Cuba, is to embark with strong reinforcements
for .the garrison of that island. The Caledonia,
with the Hibernia, purchased by the Spanish Gov
ernment from the same company, and which is to
be delivered the last of ths month, is stated by the
Madrid papers as intended to maintain a regular
and prompt communication between the CaMries,
Porto Rico, Cuba, andthe mother country. The
Spanish Government is making at the present mo-
ment extraordinary efforts to get up respectable
naval force. The Heraldo Of Madrid gives list
of the vessels now building or finished since the
accession of the present Ministry. 1t comprises
two ships of 80 guns; frgate of SO guns and
another of 40; two sloops of 80 guns nine briggs,
five of l6 and four of Ia guns two schooners of
guns; twelve steamers, of which four are 500

vessels, total of fifty vessels Of war. Gen. Con-

probable contents, and positive assertions are
formed upon the subject in the journals; but it is
not likely that any of the journals, especially those
of the opposition, possess reliable information
upon this subject. The Constitutional, which is

having it from the fountain source that the Presi-

of an imperial tendency. Ten days ago it was the

FROM EUROPE.

The steamer .dsia, from Liverpool the 18th
instant, arrived at New York on Wednesday. She
made the outward passage in ten days and seven
hours. The Pacific made the passage in ten days
and twenty hours.
There had been no change in the Liverpool
cotton market. Prices remained firm, and fair
business had been done during the week. Bread
stuffs were without material change.
Tobacco was in active demand, and prices tend
ing in favor of sellers.
The affairs Of England and Ireland remain with
out any new political feature of moment.
From France there is nothing of special interest.
A state Of general quietude prevails.
The state of Germany continues to excite great
alarm. Austria and Prussia seem upon the verge
of an open rupture, and the position of Hesse
Cassel and several other of the German States
renders the relations Of the great German Powers
still more precarious.
The Schleswig Holstein army attempted to take
Fredrichstadt by storm on the 9th, but were re
pulsed by the Danes, after bombarding during tn
preceding day, destroying large block of house
close to the road. M
The town attacked in the evening by two battalion
of infantry and detachment of remen After desperat
struggle, in which both parties must have experienced YER
heavy losses the Danes gave way but only to seek the
of new otenchmens and barcades thrown In the mddl
of the The resistance which they met with here
violent and determined that notwithstanding the exhbi
ton of most brilliant bravery, the Schleswg Holsteners we
compelled TO retire from the town at midnight They after
wards took up position, and the conflict expected
to be renewed on the following morning.
1t is positively stated that decision respecting
the Holstein question has been agreed upon by
France, Austria, England, and the German States
in favor of Denmark. The Duchies will be re-
qured to refrain from hostlities, and to await the
award of the intervening parties.

PARIS, OCTOBER 3, 1850.
The political news from France is of small i'm
portance by this steamer, and in all probability
will continue to be so till the reopenng Of the AS

monarchical parties, at the present moment most
prominent and hostile, assume clearly-defned po-

country, and striving to heal the breach caused by
the njudicious publication of the famous Wesbaden
circular. That paper will not, think, produce a
fatal division in the party itself; in fact tonly an
nounced doctrines believed and professed secretly, If
not loudly, by ninety-nne in hundred of the mem
bers of the party. Its publication gave rise ques

fact accomplished, the immense majority of the
party will rally with the devotion and bigotry, and

There is much speculation in the cotton Market and
general fear entertained Of the shoness Of the coming CROP
This fear the cotton manufacturers Of England to be
less active and prosperous than almost all the other branches
and accounts rather cheeess from Manchester. 1t may
be mentioned here in proof Of almost entire dependence
upon the United States for supply Of this necessary
MATERIAL that whilst we received 1884, 656 bales Of

cd s467 bales less from all the Of the world in ls49

The news from FRANCE is unimportant. M.
Barthelemy's circular, announcing the "divine
right" to rule of Henry v, has produced conster-
nation and division among the Legitmsts. M. de
Larocheiaquelin feels himself excommunicated
and has Withdrawn himself from the party Of
which he was the great champion. The long
talked-of fusion between the Legitimists and the
Orleanists is now an impossibility. The former
will stand out for hereditary rights, and the latter
for dynastic ones, and both will unintentionally
play into the hand of Louis NAPOLEON; and this
the latter is quite aware Of His best course will
be TO bide his time !" and this course he proba-
bly, has adopted. He will now wait to see whe-
ther the National Assembly will agree to the revi-
sion of the constitution, so as to allow OF his
continuing in power. If they do not, ne will, tits
thought, make direct appeal to the people.
