Continental Notes. France. The Monitcur ...
maining some hours with the Emperor , the Prince returned to Paris . General Codrington , of the English army , and Colonel Blanc , arrived at the camp this morning , and were invited by the Emperor to spend some days at the imperial headr-quarters .. : It is stated that at the meeting of the Plenipotentiaries , which took place on Saturday , to exchange the ratifications of the Danubian Principalities Convention , an inquiry was ordered to be set on foot to ascertain in what way the Independance Beige procured a copy of that document . A •** warning" has been given to the Gironde , a journal of Bordeaux , for having , in an article on the state of the provincial press , " violently attacked the law on the press , and represented it as an instrument of oppression and tyranny . "
The Emperor is to remain at the camp of Chalons until the 10 th . The marriage of the Duke of MalakofF with Mdlle . de la Paniega will be celebrated on the 12 th inst . at St . Cloud , in the presence of the Emperor and Empress . The affair of the seizure of a French ship in the Indian ocean , carrying negroes—free labourers—on board , by the Portuguese , of which mention was made , formerly , takes a bad turn . The Portuguese Government refuses to annul the verdict of the Court at Goa , and two French men-of-war , the Donanwoerth and the Austerlitz , have , in consequence , been ordered to the Tagus . Colonel Faidherbe , Governor of Senegal , has obtained leave to visit Paris to confer with the Emperor on the plans now under consideration for the' improvement of the colony .
It is said that apartments have been engaged at the Hotel de Louvre for Jung Bahadoor , the Nepaulese Prince , who is expected in Paris on his way to London .
• . RUSSIA . It is stated as certain that the Emperor of Kassia has been invited by Prince Napoleon to visit France , and has accepted the invitation , and that both London and Paris will be honoured with his presence nest spring . The Russian Steam Navigation Company is making several more arrangements of the Yillafranca sort . In ^ addition to a depot in Algeria , others in Egypt and Barbary are mentioned , besides one in Greece . The Emperor Alexander on his journey to "Warsaw had to pass through the governments of Tver , Kostroma , Iaroslav , Nijni-Novgorod , Vladimir , and Moscow . In most of these his Majesty addressed the representatives of the nobility , speaking chiefly of the topic of the day , the situation of the peasant class , and thanking them for the zeal which they had displayed in carrying into effect the reform which he had so greatly at heart- — namely , the emancipation of the serfs .
BAVARIA . On the first day of the legislative session of the Bavarian Chambers , the King , finding the opposition in a majority , dissolved them . New elections will take place directly . On the , 27 th of September there was a festival at Munich , in commemoration of the 700 th anniversary of the day on which the city was founded . Nothing could be more magnificent and imposing than the procession , which was composed of 3000 persons and 500 horses , and contained tableaux of the principal events which have
occurred in Bavaria during the last seven centuries , and the portraits of many of the more remarkable personages who have figured in South German history during that period . In order to form a correct idea of the festival , it is necessary to state that the Munich artists so conscientiously performed their duties that each separate person was dressed after a drawing taken from some original costume . There were no anachronisms to find fuult with , and the taste displayed by the honest drinkers of beer was wonderful . There was no frippery , no tinsel-work .
8 PAIJ * . The rumour of Queen Christina ' s return to Madrid , which was circulated within , the last few days , is contradicted by the journals in a position , to bo well informed . The permission which the Government granted to the Progresista party to hold an electoral meeting in Madrid , has not been extended to the Democratic party . The reason is , that this party has of late been given to
threatening language against the Court , and to pwises of physical force as the best means to redress the . grievances of the people . The Madrid Gazette contains a royal decree , which enacts that the municipal elections throughout Spain and the adjacent islands shall take plaoe on Sunday , the 7 th of November . The Gazqtte also contains a series of decrees authorising the nomination of a board of administration in the Philippine Islands , which is to apply the surplus funds of those lalaridB to their local necessities without the control of the Homo Government .
The Madrid Gazette publishes a Royal ordinance authorising Government to receive tenders for the concession for a line of packets from the Peninsula to the West Indies . Several Progresista electoral committees are preparing manifestoes , in which support Is promised to the Ministry .
On the 1 st instant , after paying the dues of the month , about a million of dollars was left in the Treasury , which is mentioned as a proof of the prudential measure * of the Finance Minister . Party spirit runs very high in Madrid just now . Four Moderado journals have publicly announced that with one organ of the press , the Diario Espanol , they will hold no intercourse , nor take any notice of it except in a court of justice . A personal conflict took place on the 1 st between the editors of the Iberia and Diario . The former struck the latter in the face , and in two hours after was on his way to Valladolid , on urgent private affairs .
TURKEY . On the 22 nd ult . Lord Stratford de Redcliffe received a deputation of the British residents at Constantinople . In thtraking them for the compliment paid him , lie said that his stay at Constantinople would be but of short duration , and went on to speak in praise of his successor . The Journal de Constantinople , in its account of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe ' s official reception by the Grand Vizier , on September 22 , speaks of the persons " attached
to his lordship's special mission , from which it is to be inferred that the late ambassador ' s journey to Constantinople had some political object . The Times correspondent asserts that his lordship is bearer of an autograph letter from her Majesty , in which she informs her brother and ally the Sultan , that Lord Stratford , her faithful Ambassador for many years at the . Sultan ' s Court , has come out to * take leave of his Majesty , and that she requests the Sultan to receive favourably whatever so tried a friend of Turkey may have to say about the execution of the Hatti Huinayoun of 1856 .
The news from Candia , received at Constantinople , is not satisfactory . Sami Pasha , who passes for a determined enemy of the Christians , has not succeeded in conciliating the inhabitants of the island . They are resolved , it is said , not to lay down their arms until they find the Hatti Humayoun acted upon in every particular . It is said that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has been instructed to express the regret of the English Government for the bombardment of Jeddah , and that England intends to indemnify the sufferers . It is further reported that England will ask to rent the Isle of Perim for one hundred years .
NAPLES . A correspondent of the Times says that the King lives in perpetual fear of assassination . He attended a religious ceremony some time since at the church of lschia . The musicians were not permitted to carry their instruments into the church in cases , lest they should contain an infernal machine or an incendjary ball . During the entire service the King fixed his » eyes anxiously on the musicians . Such is the miserable existence which he leads .
ITAL . T . More street fights have taken place between | be Papal soldiers , especially the dragoons , and the French garrison at Rome . It seems that the guilt lies with the French , who are described as having become addicted to drinking . The Independente of Turin declares the visit of Prince Napoleon to Warsaw to be an event of great political importance , and * the prelude of an alliance between France , Russia , and Piedmont , hostile to Austria . The intention manifested by the Emperor Alexander II . to visit Paris , the facilities accorded by Sardinia to a Russian company , and the augmentation of the French garrison at Rome , are considered proofs of such an alliance . Advices from Nice of the 2 nd instant state that Austria will this year concentrate at tho camp of Somma , near Lake Maggiore , a much larger number of troops than usual . Count Giulay will command in chief .
THE PKINCn'ALITIES . A letter from . Bucharest describes tho impression which the text of the liouinan Constitution has made on the people in tho Principalities as by no moans a favourable one . Tho Koumans think their old rights rather curtailed by it than otherwise , their Governments having been deprived of the right of poaceor Avar , and of negotiating with foreign States , which they protend to have possessed before . PRUSSIA . It appears that the non-sottlement of the Prussian Regency que stion has been productive of inconvenience to the public service . There are five diplomatic posts vacant , and tho choice of tho gentlonieUwho will fill thorn depends not only on tho settlement of tho Regency , but on tho modifications which may bo eflbotod in tho Ministry Afterwards .
Accounts from Berlin of tho 2 nd state that the King had become paralysed , and was wheeled about from room to room in an arm-ohair . Dr . Froriohs , tho celebrated physician In lunacy casos , hna ogain boon summoned to Berlin . Groat difficulty has hitherto boon experienced in finding medloal men willing to give a certifloato that there is no hope of tho King ' s ever recovering his faculties again , ¦ without which the Princo of Prussia was naturally disinclined to tako tho Initiative and claim the Regency . The Princo of Prussia was expected to return to Berlin on the 4 th .
DBNMAKIC . The Danish Chambers were opened on the 3 rd by ] Unsgaard , the Minister of the Interior , in the au me the King , who is now labouring under indispositfo The first Chamber has elected M . Bruun as Pres ' idei and the Second Chamber M . Rottwitt . According to a letter from Copenhagen of the 30 lilt . * the Society of the " Friends of the Peasants" j Denmark had petitioned the King for the abolition i the common constitution and the re-establishment of tl Danish constitution of 1846 , and the Scandinavian unioi as the sole means of safety to the State .
BELGIUM .. The King went from Brussels to Antwerp on Satui day to visit the Belgian Exhibition of Fine Arts .
. AUSTRIA . The Cologne Gazette Bays that the Austrian Lloyd ' Company of Trieste are preparing to resist the compe tition of the Russian steamboats with all their strength The company , it is said , intend to reduce their prices and to make other large concessions to trade . It i thought that they must be backed by the promise of i state subvention . It appears , however , that thi directors of the Austrian Lloyd ' s are by no means a one on the subject , and that several of them proposi to sell the sixty steamers which the company possessei to the Russians .
A letter from Vienna says that the reduction of th < Austrian army , which has been talked of for some time past , has baen commenced . Some reductions have been made , and others are to be successively adopted . The Vienna Gazette of Thursday publishes a new law concerning the military conscript ' ron . The term of service remains at eight years , as formerly . The nobility will not be exempt .
SERVIA . The official Belgrade Gazette announces that the Prince has resolved , in conformity with the unanimous resolution of the Senate , to convoke the National Assembly without delay . OREECfi . King Otho is expected at Trieste , on his return tc Greece .
switzei :, ani > . The Federal Council has decided to send M 3 f . Dabs and Bischof to Geneva as Commissioners for the execution of the Federal decree concerning the political refugees . SARDINIA . The rumour current in Paris of a projected marriage between Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde of Sardinia is discredited at Turin , at the . same time it is not thought improbable that the Prince may pay a visit to the Court of Piedmont .

India. By The Arrival Of The Bombay And ...
INDIA . By the arrival of the Bombay and Calcutta mails we have news from Bombay to the 9 th ult ., and from Calcutta , the 22 nd August . The state of afl ' ajrs in . Imlia may be summed up in tho word—expectation . It is felt there , that the ensuing winter will seethe war at an end . In no quarter does there seem to be any real fighting . The campaigning has degenerated into hunting the rebel bands by little detachment * not a fourth part of their strength . "By the 25 th of October , " says tho Calcutta correspondent of the Times , " an army of 25 , 000 Europeans and 10 , 000 natives , chiefly cavalry , will bo collected at Cawnporo . Then will commence the final campaign . not for vanquishing the robula , but for surrounding catching , and finally destroying them . Wo way exl ) CCt ' therefore , that tho disturbed districts , which are now little more than a part of Ouclc and Kohilcund , will w brought fully under tho civil authority , tho power ot no independent , fort-holding chieftains broken , and tlie collection of tho revenue recommenced .
