INDIA . By tho 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 aftairs in India may be summed up in the word—expectation . It ' u felt there , that the ensuing winter will see the war nt an end . In no quarter dpe 3 there seem to be any real fighting . The campaigning has degenerated into hunting the rebel bands by little detachments not a fourth part of their strength . " By the 25 th of October , " says the Calcutta correspondent of the Times , " an army of 2 / 5 , 000 Europeans and 10 , 000 natives , chiefly cavalry , will bo collected ; it Cawnporo . Then will commence the final campaign * not for ' vanquishing the rebels , but for surrounding , catching , and finally destroying them . Wo . may expect , therefore , that the disturbod districts , which are now little more than a part of Oudq anil Rohllcuml , will bo brought fully under tho civil authority , the power of the independent , fort-holding chioftaius broken , and the cullection of the rovenuo recommenced . " " The robollion , " snye the Bombay Times , ? 'is virtually at an ond ; for although numerous smiill bodies oi insurgents are scattered about the country , there arc uuc two or three quarters in which an enemy can bo saw to be in tho field "

1 > ENMARIC . The Danish Chambers were opened on the 3 rd by M TJnsgaard , the Minister of the Interior , in the name of the King , who is now labouring under indisposition . The first Chamber has elected M . Bruun a 3 President and the Second Chamber M . Rottwitt . ' According to a letter from Copenhagen of the 30 th ult ., the Society of the " Friends of the Peasants" in Denmark had petitioned the King for the abolition of the common constitution and the re-establishment of the Danish constitution of 1846 , and the Scandinavian union as the sole means of safety to the State . ' BELGIUM . The King went from Brussels to Antwerp on Saturday to visit the Belgian Exhibition of Fine Arts .
AUSTRIA . The Cologne Gazette says that the Austrian Lloyd ' s Company of Trieste are preparing to resist the competition 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 is thought that they must be backed by the promise of a state subvention . It appears , however , that the directors of the Austrian Lloyd ' s are by no means at one on the subject , and that several o& them propose to sell the sixty steamers which the company possesses to the Russians .
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 head-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 Inde ' pendance 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 . " of Chalons
The Emperor is to remain at the camp 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 Russia 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 next spring . The Russian Steam Navigation Company is making several more arrangements of the Villafranca 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 bad to pass through the governments of Tver , Kostroma , Iaroslav , Nijni-Novgorod , Vladimir , and Moscow . In most of these bis 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 . .
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 measures 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 oil his way to Valladolidon urgent private affairs .
cessor . 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 bad 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 , arid 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 Hnmayonn . of 1856 .
The news from Cahdia , 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 I . schia . The musicians were not permitted to carry their instruments into the church in cases , lest they should contain an infernal machine or an incendiary ball . During the entire service the King fixed hUpferes anxiously on the musicians . Such is the miserable existence which he leads . 4 ^ rrAi /
, . TURKEY . On the 22 nd ult . Lord Stratford de Redcliffe received a deputation of the British residents at Constantinople . In thttricing them for the compliment paid him , he said thatms stay at Constantinople would be but of short duration , and went on to speak in praise of his
suc-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
r . More street fights have takon place between the 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 Independeiite 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 the camp of Somma , near Lake Maggiore , a much larger number of troops than usual . Count Giulay will command in chief . usual , Uount Umiay w « i commanu in cnier .
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 fault with , and the taste displayed by the honest drinkers of beer was wonderful , There was no frippery , no tinsel-work .
THE PRINCIPALITIES . A letter from Bucharest describes the impression which the text of the Rouinnn Constitution has made on the people in the Principalities aa by no moans a favourable one . Tho Roumans think their old rights rather curtailed by it than otherwise , their Governments having been deprived of the right of poucoor war , and of negotiating with foreign Slates , which they protend to havo possessed before . vrussia < It appears that tho non-sottlement of tho Prussian Regency question has boon productive of inconvenience to the public service . There are five diplomatic posts vacant , and the choice of tho gentlemen who will fill them depends not only on the settlement of tho Regency , but on tho modifications which may be effected in tho Ministry ftfterwarda . .
8 PAIX . The rumour of Queen Christina ' s return to Madrid , which was circulated within tho last few days , is contradicted by the journals in a position to be well informed . The . permission which , the Government granted to the Progrealsta party to hold an electoral meeting in Madrid , has not been extended to tho Democratic party . The reason is , that this party has of late been given to threatening language against the Court , and to praises 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 elec tions throughout Spain and the adjacent islands shall take place on Sunday , the 7 th of November , Tho Gazette also contains a series of decrees authorising the nomination of a board of administration in tho Philippine Islands , which Is to apply tho surplus funds of those islands to their local necessities without tho control of the' Homo Government . The Madrid , Gazette publishes a Royal ordinance authqfiaing Government ta roooiv " o tenders for the concession for a line of ^ mokota from the Peninsula to tho West Indies .
___ _ .. _ „ Accounts from Berlin of the 2 nd state that tho King had become paralysed , and was wheolod about from room to ropm in an arm-chair . Dr . Froriehs , tho colobrated physician in lunacy cases , has again boon summoned to Berlin . Groat difficulty has hitherto boon experienced in finding medical , men willing to give a certificate that' there is no hope of tho King ' s ovor rocovorlng his faculties again , without which the Prince of Prussia was naturally disinclined to take tho initiative and claim the Regonoy . The Prlnco of Prussia -was expected to roturn to 3 erlin on tho 4 th .
Several Progroslsta electoral committees aro preparing manifestoes , In tvhloh support Is promised to the Ministry .
A letter from Vienna says that the reduction of the Austrian army , which has been talked of for some time past , has been 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 conscription . 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 .
GREECE . King Otho is expected at Trieste , on his return to Greece . SWITZERLAND . The Federal Council has decided to send MIL .-Dubs 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 .
