FROM EUROPE.
ny STEAMSHIP CRY OF LONDON
Crops-ChOIera i'm London.


New York, Sept. 26.-The advices by
the City of London indicate that there is
much danger throughout England with
regard to crops, owing tn wet weather.
Similarreports come from France and Ger
many, where the crops are also short. The
harvest in Russia, however, was abundant,
and heavy orders for grain had been sent
there.
The number of deaths from cholera in
London had greatly diminished. The dis
ease still prevails in various parts OF Eng
gland. .....-... ...r. .,I
1t was reported in Paris that Macmillan
might be expected in Europe by every
steamer. .l... --.
An entire reform of the military system
of Austria Is spoken of, and 1t is said means
will be eventually adopted for doubling
the available forces of the Empire. The
PIus ian Chambers have been debating the
bill for the election of deputies to govern
Parliament. Amendments were offered AID
seconded commending open voting aU
elections, demanding that civilians have
full liberty of speech during elections, and
that members should be paid. The Vienna de
Baltic says it learns that France has made
energetic representations to the Porte
against any acquisition by the Unitek
States of an Isand in the Gulf Of Agina.
France has been supported in this course
by England.
Rumors as to Mexico continued very
conflicting. According to one account
Macmillan would at least make deter
mined military effort prior to abdication.
If that step really had to be taken, MeXl-
can army, 5000 strong, to be mainly oiti-
cered By Frenchmen,Js is one of the things
spoken of. The Convention between
France and Mexico, signed at Mexico on
the Goth of July, transfers to the French
Government halt the receipts of all the
maratime customs in the empire, in order
to secure the payment of principle and in
terest of the loans contracted ia 1864 and
1865, and all obligations resulting there
from; and likewise for the payment of the
interest, at three per cent, on all sums due
by Mexico to the French treasury. The
amount of the latter debt, whi h is approx
imately valued at three hundred and fifty
millions of francs, will be subsequently
definitely fixed. ID.
The Eastern Question.
The Eastern question again claims con-
siderable attention. Continental journals
state that it is no longer the insurrectiOn in
Gambia alone which causes uneasiness to
the Porte, but movements which are begun
ming in Epirus and in the Islands of Caius
and Cyprus. ........ ..-
The London Morning Post says it is stat
ed that the British Government have adyiS-
ed the Porte of accord to the Island of Crete
on authority similar to that of Servia. but
that the Porte refused to act OIL the advice.
The 10th Of September was the second
anniversary of the Paris Convention for
the evacuation of Rome, and the London
Times says that it is understood that the
evacuation will be complete by December.
Meanwhile the so-called Frosco Pontiiical
Legion, l,200 men. was to embark on the
1lth, at Antives for Croetia Veechia, on
board French steamer. As the General
in command at Rome objects to his French
troops coming in contact with those of the
Pope, the legion would be sent to VeterbO,
in spite of the strong remonstrances from
that place.
