LATER FROM EUROPE.

LATER FROM EUROPE
The royal mail steamship Africa, Captain
Ryrie. arrived at New York ON Wednesday
afternoon, the 10Th, bringing weeks later
intelligence from Europe, the advices from Liv-
pool coming down to the sth instant The in
telligence in general is of considerable interest;
its two leading features are the message of the
French President and another remarkable
speech of Nj. Kossuth The latter speech was
delivered in Copenhagen Fields London, be-
fore about twenty thousand people, who march
ed to the place from Russell Square with music
and banners.
First came the Hungarian colors with the
motto "Welcome Kossuth" Then followed
large banner, also with the red white and
green ground, carried by four or five men,
bearing on it the inscription. There's no OBJ
stacle for him that willie This was followed
by the Turkish flag after which came in sue
cession the union jack of England and the
stripes and stars of the United States and fol-
lowing later in the procession large silk ban
ner, having on it the words, "kossuth and
Mazzin-ltaly and Hungary" and another, a
blood-red flag with an inscription in Italian,
The Democratic Republic Of Italy and frater-
nifty of the people" A ortof galows was also
carried in the procession, from which was sus-
pended a number of copies of the Times news
paper, and placard inscribed "The Times
and Haynau-burn them both
At the place of rendezvous, NJ Kossuth was
received with the most deafening and enthusi-

close-ftting black velvet frock-coat and mill
tary cloak, and looked as if rapidly recovering
from his recent indisposition. Mr.. Thornton
Hunt accompanied him on the platform, and,
by repeated calls of "siicnce,' at last procured
a cessation in the cheering NJ Kossuth then
delivered his speech, which was received with
great enthusiasm, though heard by only u part
of the crowd After the speech, the people
quietly dispersed.
France THE National Assembly was again
opened on the 4th instant Nj. Dupin was re-
elected President, and M. Bedau, Daru, and
Benoits day Vice Presidents The message
of the President was read
The minister afterwards read projet of a
law proposing the complete abrogation of the
law of the 3lst of May 1850, and re-establish-
ing the electoral law of the Il 9Th March, lS49
In virtue of the new law, all citizens twenty
one years of age, and having resided six months
in the commune, are declared electors The
military men are to vote in the commune where
they were born and drew the consumption.
Public functionaries and ministers of religious
worship recognised by the State are to exer-
else their electoral right in the commune where
they exercise their functions, whatever may be
the period of their residence.
The minister in conclusion demanded Cur
gency" for this measure, which is the custom
| airy preliminary for the measures of most I'M
portance, and gives them precedence of dis
cussion before any other business The prop
osition for urgency was holly opposed, and
negatived on division.
The Assembly's vote by which urgency for
the new electoral bill was rejected, implies moi
only defeat of the ministry on the cardina
point Of its policy, but the rejection of the bill
in its first stage. This is the prologue to end
less DELAY The bill will now, according Il
the organic law of the Council of State, have b
be referred to the examination of this body
the slowness of whose labors is well known.
Belgium. King opened the ordinary
session of the Chamber at Brussels on the 10th
instant with speech congratulating the
Chambers on the prosperous and tranquil STU
alton of the country, as showing Mt once the
solidity of its institutions and the excellent
spirit of its inhabitants, which recommend Bel
gium TO the esteem of other nations.
Spitzerland.-Th general elections for the
Federal Assembly of Switzerland have taken
Mace Tn general. there will be but little
change in the ensemble of the political opin-
ions of the Assembly German Switzerland
has reelected almost all the members of the
previous Assembly. Lucerne has chosen two
conservatives. Bernie. out of % deputies, has
elected IS radicals, and only eight conserva-
t;ves The latter have been chosen by the dis
tricts of Berne city and the Jura. In some
parts of the country, not more than one-iifth of
the electors voted In the canton of Neufchat-
el the opposition party abstained from voting
Geneva has returned her old deputies In the
canton of Vaud the radicals have met with a
complete check With the exception of one of
their party, who has been reelected the choice
has fallen on conservatives M. Eytel, who
is ut the head of the radical party, was thrown
out. A majority of the conservatives had been
generally expected, and the result of the cleo
tons has naturally caused some emotion in the
governmental party The new Federal As
sembly will meet ON the LIST December to elect
the General Government. All the old men,
the Federal Assembly. Not more than one
third of those returned belonged to the con-
servatiye party.
Austria Tho demonstrations in England
in favor of Kossuth have created great i'm
preston both in the Government and people of
Austria No press, however, dares publish
any of the speeches of Kossuth, and no indie.
pendent expression is ventlred upon.
Hungary-Thc correspondent Of the Times
in Austria says: "Thc Hungarian party is
daily gaining strength and courage, and the
PeSii Naplo the organ Of the old conservatives,
frankly declares that "the maintenance OF
Hungary as a State in the political organization
of the Austrian Empire is necessary u is add
ed that this must not be misunderstood Hun
gary makes no claim to an independent politi-
cal existence. al this would be opposed TO the
unity Of the Empire" but it requires an indie
pendent Internal Government, the maintenance
of its own judicial system in civil matters and
the independent administration OF Its own AZ

There is considerable excitement among the
South Scayonc races. The Reichs Ze,fung
shows that there is considerable il not alarm
ing discomfort among the Croats and Servans.
Complaints of the distress Of the citizens and
peasantry, and of the increasing rise IN the
price of provisions, are loud. The ignorant
country people are besides stimulated to resist
ance against the authorities, and many lives
have been lost in their conflicts with the gen.
darmes. The "fscals" or advocates, are sup
posed to be the principal agitators. The sove-
reign,s return is looked forward TO with great
impotence, as it daily becomes more evident
that the welfare of the Empire urgently re,
