LATER FROM EUROPE.

Nea0 York, Oct l4.-The Cunard mail steam
er Persia, Captain Judkins, from Liverpool on
the 4th instant, arrived here this morning at 9
o'clock.
The news by the Persia is summed up under
three general heads, viz: the demonstration
against Naples, the Belgrade boundary, and
the disputed right of possession of the Isle of
Serpents. Respecting Naples, the only inform.
alton comes from the Brussels lie NOrd, which
says that the Austrian Ministers at Paris and
London have urgent orders from their Govern
ment to entreat France and England to abstain
from any demonstration, at least until the re-
turn of the maritime mediatorial mission to
Naples; and, further, it is said that the Western
Powers, In consideration for Austria, have given
their assent
There is considerable letter writing, but no
new facts respecting the Belgrade boundary
question.
The German papers assert that Great Britain
has addressed q second note to Russia on the
subject of the Isle Of Serpents, more perempto-
ry than the first, but that the result is unknown.
Great Britain has proposed, as plan of ad-
justment of the Montenegro difficulty, that
Turkey cede an extension of boundary to Mon
tenegro, and that Montenegro acknowledge the
sovereignty of the Porte.
A royal decree by the Queen removes the
conhscauon OF Christmas property in Spain.
Napoleon had returned to Paris
There are rumors of an increase of Austrian
troops in Italy.
The Ministerial crisis continues in Denmark.

GENERAL NEWS.
From California,


We note the following items of intelligence
from California, by the George Law:
Society continues in a very disorganized
state throughout the interior. The country
journals are filled with accounts of numerous
daring robberies. From Mariposa to Yreka,
the whole State is infested with gangs of foot.
pads and mounted highwaymen. Few travel.
lers can pass without being attacked or threat.
ened by these desperadoes.
In San Francisco, politics prevailed over all
other subjects of public consideration. The
three parties will run separate tickets, the Re.
pubicans and Americans choosing their men
from friends of the Vigilance Committee, and
the Democrats from the Committees opponents.
The contest will be the warmest ever waged in
San Francisco.
Hon. T. I. Herbert arrived in the steamer
Sonora, on the 18th of September. He was
warmly received by his personal friends. On
the following day, committee of gentlemen
waited upon him, and presented to him the pc
titions, which had been numerously signed, ask.
ing him never to make the State of California
his residence again. He accepted the docu.
ments, and promised to give them a respectful
consideration

the teeth of Great Britain was, that she forced
Slavery upon the Colonies against their will.
Now, the secessionists are trying to dissolve
the Union because they are not permitted to
establish Slavery in the Territory of Kansas.
If the institution of Slavery is thing good and
desirable in itself, it is the easiest thing in the
world for the people to vote for its introduction
at any time after they have formed Constitu-
ton, and been admitted as State. IF it is not
thing good and desirable, it would be an act
OF great oppression to force it upon them. For,
however any one may lament the evils of Sla-
very it is almost impossible to get rid of the
system when once introduced. Nullify it by
law If you will, still the evil remains, perhaps
aggravated. But, in new State, few words
In the Constitution may prevent the entire evil
from entering.
From my knowledge of the people of North
Carolina, believe that the majority of them who
will go to Kansas, during the next FIVE years,
would prefer that it should be free State.

many have no faith in Geary-in fact, the mum
Der among US who have, is very small-nor is
there any secret of causes for this lack of faith
When Colonel Cooke took prisoners Colonel
Harvey's company, he made no attempt to
arrest the Pro-Slavery force at Hickory Point,
simply because he had no authority from the Gov
ernor to do so. And when on the same day the
Missourans came up and attacked Lawrence,
threatening to demolish the town, "troops or
no troops" nothing was done, further than to
quietly invite them to 60 home, and take all
their implements of war with them. Further,
while in the camp of the dragons, one day, a
company of Titus's Territorial militia, in chang
ing their camp, passed within few yards of
the sentries' posts, while over them they car
ried black flag, with understandable wells and
devilish pride. The soldiers could hardly be
restrained from pitching into them, but the off.
GERS had no power to "interfere"
Governor Robinson visits us occasionally,
and advises US to remain and defend our char.
acters and past actions by our presence at
court. Nothing can equal the enthusiasm which
the prisoners feel for him. He has been the
pioneer in suffering in Kansas and none who
really love the cause Of Free Kansas can CON-
plain of following him.
Yesterday, company of United States in
fantry relieved the Territorial militia which
has been on guard over US. We felt almost as
if we were free once more. The militia kept
one guard in the house, as kind of spy, and
closely watched all visiters coming Uneven
ladies, and wives of prisoners. Clothing COM
ing in to the prisoners was sneakingly searched.
The Topeka ladies sent us down some pies
and cakes, the other day. The guards exam
med them, as though they expected to find q
twenty four FOUNDER or key of powder rolled up
in some of them. But United States troops
could not be brought to such meanness as this.
All were sorry and disheartened, when, at eight
O'clock this morning, the militia returned. The
