LATEST FROM EUROPE. "By the packet ship Hannibal, the editors of ihc New York Standard have received London papers lo the eveuir.g of Sept. 1st, and Ports mouth papers of the 3d: The intelligence is not very important, except as to the prospect of a war, which is becoming mare probable daily. The German diet at Frankfort, of which so much has been said recently, appears to have had other designs that merely con trolling the small States. The following is an extract from a Circular addressed by the French Minis ter ot War to the military authorities ol the departments: "Positive information has been received that the Frankfort Di et has selected numerous agents to.be Bent into all parts of France to ascertain the number and state of discipline of all the regiments." (Hero follows a list of the military men, particularizing the offi cers of engineers, chosen by the commit tee named by the Diet for this purpose.) "The Minister of War, therefore, de sires the authorities to be active in their endeavors to detect these agents, and though I am not enabled to announce to you the final arrangement of the ques tions which have been so long pending between Holland and .Belgium, and tho unhappily, the contest in Portugal be tween the Princes of the House of Bra ganza still continues, I look with confi dence, through the intimate union which subsists between me and my allies, to the preservation of general peace. Gentlemen of the House of Commons I thank you for the supplies which you have granted to me, and it is a great sat isfaction to me to find, notwithstanding large deductions from the revenue, occa sioned by the repeal of some taxes which pressed most heavily on my people, that you have been enabled, by ihe exercise of a well considered economy in all the de partments of the State,to provide for the service of the year, without any addition to the public burdens. My Lords and Gentlemen I recom mend to you during the recess the most careful attention to the preservation of the public peace, and to the maintenance of the authority of the law in your re spective counties. I trust that the ad vantages onioved bv all mv subjects tin- der our free Constitution will be duly ap- prevent them from obtaining the informa- predated and cherished; that relief from tion they are in search of." .any real causes of complaint will be The Swiss have compelled Austria to explain the reason of her armaments on their frontiers.

In England, Scotland and Ireland, the report of Cholera down to Aug. 25, was, total cases, 33,80G deaths, 14,221. At London it was again on the increase, about 40 dying per day at Liverpool, there were about 20 deaths per day. Dennis Collins, the Greenwich pen sioner, who hit the King of England with a stone at the Ascot Heath Races, has been found guilty of high treason and condemned to be hung. It is doubtful whether the sentence would be carried into execution. The British Parli anient was prorogued on the 16th Aug. by the King in person. The following is his Mniestv's sneceh on the occasion: " j My Lords and Gentlemen The state1 of the public business now enabling me to release you from a further attendance in Parliament, I cannot take leave of you without expressing the satisfaction with which 1 have observed your diligence and zeal in the discharge of your duties during a session of extraordinary labor and duration. The matters which you have had un der your consideration have been of the first importance; and the laws in particu lar which have been passed for reform ing the representation of the people, have occupied, as was unavoidable, the great est portion of your time and attention. In recommending this subject to your consideration, it was my object, by remo ving the causes of just complaint, to re store general confidence to the Legisla ture, and to give addititional security to the settled institutions of the State. This object will, I trust, be found to have been accomplished. I have still to lamnnf th Pntltinimnna of disturbances in Ireland, notwithstand ing me vigilance and energy displayed by my government there, in the measures which it has taken to repress them. The laws which iiave been passed, in confor mity with my recommendation at the be ginning of the session, with respect to the collection of tithes, are well calcula ted to lay the foundation of a new sys tem, to the completion of which the at tention of Parliament, when it again as sembles, will of course be directed. To this necessary work my best assis tance will be given, by enforcing the exe cution of the laws, and by promoting the prosperity of a country blessed by Di vine I rovidence with so many natural advantages. As conducive to ibis ob ject, 1 must express the satisfaction which 1 have felt at the measures adopted for extending generally to my people in that Kingdom the benefits of education. I continue to receive the most friendly assurances from all Foreign Powers; and, souL'hl only through legitimate channels: that all irregular and illegal proceedings will be discountenanced and resisted; and that the establishment of internal tranquillity and order will prove that the measures which I have sanctioned will not be fruitless in promoting tin security of the State, and the contentment and welfare of my people. FKAXCE. The King of the French would seem at length to be re-organizing his Cabinet as well as about to create an additional number of peers. ?There is no symptom of any immediate change in the order of things now established in that country, POIITL'GAL.

The accounts from Germany, as given in the English papers, still represent the States on the Rhine as on the point of a great political convulsion, and the ap proaching assembling ot the Chambers of Wurtemburg, it isasscrted will proba bly be productive ot serious disturbances. 13ELGH7M.

The aid-dc-camp instant ly turned round and seized the perpetra tor, who made no resistance whatever. He is a captain in the Imperial service, and has a pension. The cause of his crime must appear from investigation; at present insanity appears the ground of it.

The Cholera. We learn from the Edenton Miscellany that the whole number of cases of Cholera in that place, has probably not exceeded 20, and not more than half of these has termi nated lalallv all the cases heinr confined to the coloied population. On Wednesday last there was dui one case existing in me lown, anu ior me week ending that day there had been but 4 or 5 cases altogether. We have heard nothing further of the disease at Ocracocke or Elizabeth City. At Richmond, Washington City, &c. it is ra pidly on the decline.

Lacock's letter i. appears that Mr Calhoun, instead of acting an unfriendly pari o- wards Gen. Jackson at the time referred lo, ei5 deavorcd to justify his motives in the Florid operations.- The New York xmerican gives tht following summary of some other publications, in relation to the same subject, all of which arc too voluminous for insertion in our columns: 1 '"A correspondence has recently been published, between Mr. S. L. Gouver ueur, son-in-law of the lute President Monroe, fand Postmaster of New York, and the Editor of the Globe, of which, as we have not room for the letters them, selves, we may be expected to give some account. "It is well known to all who are con versant with the controversy between Gen. Jackson and Mr. Calhoun, that it was alleged in behalf of Gen. Jackson that his invasion of Florida, and capture of the Spanish posts, during the SemU nolo war, was undertaken in virtue of se cret orders from President Monroe. These orders, it is alleged, were convey ed through John Rhea, then a member of Congress from Tennessee the same John Rhea whom Mr. Randolph, we be lieve, individualized as "the spinning wheel." The existence of any such o ders was denied by Mr. Monroe; but siuce his death, and especially in some recent numbers of the Globe, the fact that John Rhea did, at the request of Mr. Monroe, communicate such orders, or discretionary authority, to Gen. Jackson, has been re affirmed; and a letter, said to have been written by the said John Rhea to Mr. Monroe, just previous to the death of the latter, reminding him of the cir cumstance, has been openly referred to. Under these circumstauces Mr. Gouver neur, as the guardian of the character of his deceased father-in-law, denies posi tively, on the authority of Mr. Monroe, that any such orders were given; and challenges their production, or the evi dence that they ever existed." pTho President of the United States left his residence in Tennessee, for Wash ington City. It is said that he took a di rect route, via Lexington, to Guyandotte, and thence, by the Kenhawa road, to the seat of government. Ral. Star.
