Latest from Europe.

By the arrival at Halifax Of the steamship
Africa, we have advices from Europe to the
9th ult. The three neutral Powers have sent
identical notes to Berlin, Vienna Frankfort and
Florence, inviting allths Delligerent parties to
conference, to be held at Paris as early as
possible. The only doubt seems to be whether
Austria will consent to be represented, except
on conditions that would render the action OF
the Congress nugatory. Warlike preparations
are continued. There were rumors current at
Prague, in Bohemia, that the Prussians were
again advancing to the frontier. 1t is also re-
ported that Kossuth, acting in concert with
the Italian Government, is endeavorlng to pro-
woke revolution in Hungary: There was
rather better feeling in England in financial
circles, owing to the large arrivals OF specie
from the United States, but there was still
much depression in English finances and in
commerce

The .. s.. Circuit Court for the Eastern
District Of Virginia, ALTERS session Of rather
over one day, adjourned yesterday until the
first Tuesday.ins October next TheansRer OF
the District Attorney to the application Of the
counsel for Mr.. Davis, in regard to the trial OF
the latter,EWas that M Davis had not=been
turned over. to the custody ofthe court Judge
Underwood remarked, in addition that if Mr..
Davis should be brought before-the- court, his
trial will take place in, October next, when the
Chief Justice will preside, but that twas alto
gether possible that, in the meantime, the case
wikhayesbeen<disp of by the Government.
1T is withinlthe power of the President OF the
United States" said the Judge, with an evi-
dent sheer "to do what he pleases in these
matters, and I presume that the counsel TOR
Mr.. Davis will find it for the interest OF their
client to make application directly to the uoV-
eminent at Washington. Ih aI9E. 4.
In the course Of his remarks Judge Under
wood said: Gas from the array OF counsel on both
sides that have been named, it will be along
trial in which great political aud Constitution
al questions are to be discussed and settled,
probably taking two months; it would undoubt-
Jedly be1mueh more comfortable for counsel as
we'll as for Mr. Davis himself, to have those
months in the fall rather than in the summer, be-
cause it is every way more comfortable in Rich
mond at that time than in summer. l think
counsel are mistaken in supposing that For
tress Monroe is not as comfortable a place as
Richmond. When I have been there in the
summer have found the sea breeze very re:
freshing." : =

ty5 is limited however, the Government is
disposed to extend every reasonable privilege,
and am happy to know that the wife OF the
prisoner is permitted to be with him, and that
his friends are permitted to visit him. The
motion Of the, District Attorney is therefore
granted, This court will adjourn not until
November, but until the first Tuesday in Octo-
Der, which time is preferred by the Chief JUS
tice and the Attorney General. The case will
then if not before, be disposed of. "

perform it's stipnlations as State, under the
federal Constitution. He was defending
Ohio in her attempts to nullify and render in-
operative the fugitive slave law.
