We give the following summary of European intelligence received by the Panama Mail : — The Moniteur of August 1 confirms the news of the approaching journey'of the Emperor and Empress of the French to Salzburg, on a visit to the Emperor and Empress of Austria. It also reproduces the article recently published by the Constitutionnel, showing that France has not interfered diplomatically in the differences between Prussia and Denmark. Formal steps are said to have been taken by the Austrian Government for commencing negociations witb Rome respecting a revision of the Concordat. The Minister of Finance has repaid in bank notes the whole of the 608,000,000 of florins advanced to the Government by the National Bank . A decree dated the 14th July has been issued, appointing Count Bismarck, CLancellpr of the Bund. M. Kossuth has been unanimously elected deputy for Waitzau to the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet. The Sultan arrived at Pesth ou July 31. On August 1 his Majesty was to re-

ceive a deputation of Honveds, to express tb him their thanks for the asylum offered by Turkey in 1849 to the Hungarian refugees. The Empress Charlotte, accompanied by the Queen of the Belgians, arrived on July 31 at Terreren, one of the royal castles in the environs of Brussels: The King and the Count of Fianders went to meet the Empress on her arrival. The journey, it is said, was performed in the most satisfactory manner, but uothiug is told us in the telegram as to the poor Empress's state of mind or health. The Queen remains at Osborne in perfect retirement, now that our Turkish, Egyptian, and Belgian visitors have taken their leave; but a flying visit has been paid to her Majesty by the Empress of the French, of which the Moniteur of July 31 spoke as follows: — The Empress has returned from her excursion to the Isle of Wight, where her Majesty received from Queen Victoria the kindest and most affectionate welcome. France and England have witnessed with pleasure this fresh proof of the friendship of these two Sovereigns, whose lofty qualifications have inspired both nations with a lively feeling of respectful sympathy. It is said that one of the motives of the journey of the Empress to Osborne was to induce the British Sovereign to make an excursion to the continent. It is also said that the mission of her Majesty Eugenie, was to communicate, to Queen* Victoria some letter of the Emperor Maximilian, calculated to throw a new light upon the matter sadly terminated at Queretaro, and to dispel any prejudices that may have been entertained in Eoglaud respecting the part played by the Imperial Government throughout this incident. We have good grounds, says the Lancet, for stating that the absence of the Queen from public evening festivities is really due to the fact that agitation, overworry, or much talking in the evening is followed by restless nights, most distressing sick, headache, and sense of great exhaustion. We understand, says the British Medical Journal, that, after consultation with Dr Jenner and Dr Sievekiug, the physicians of the Princess of Wales, it has been arranged that her Eoyal Highness will visit Wiesbaden at the close of the present seasou. The waters of Wiesbaden (like those of Bath and Buxton) enjoy considerable repute in convalescence from rheumatism. The Owl says the Princess of Wales will leave Englaud in the second week in August. Her Eoyal Highness will proceed on board one of the royal yachts to Rotterdam, whence she will pursue her journey up the Ehine, on her way to the waters recommended to her. The Emperor Napoleon having expressed to the Emperor of Austria a desire to give his Majesty a proof of his sympathy after the terrible catastrophe which has occurred in Mexico, it has been arranged that the Emperor and the Empress of the French shall pay a visit of 48 hours to the Emperor Francis Joseph at Salzburg. The journey will be strictly incognito. It is reported that the Washington Administration is in favor of American intervention in Mexico. Filibustering expeditions against Juarez and his government are organising at New York, New Orleans, Buffalo, aud other cities, and large numbers are reported to be enlisting. Masses have have been said at all the Catholic Churches in New Orleans for the repose of the soul of Maximilian. The Austrian consul at New Orleans has chartered a vessel to convey the Austrians of the Foreign Mexican Legion to Trieste. It is reported, via Galveston, that the French minister, »M. Dano, has been refused a passport. Juarez is confiscating the Catholic convents, Cortinas has been ordered to occupy the Rio Grande. The late Emperor left by will 100,000 dollars to the widows of Miramon and of Mejia. The invasion of Mexico, the overthrow of Juarez, and the fate of Maximilian are still extensively discussed throughont America. The people, who formerly opposed Maximilian, seem to have undergone a sort of revulsion of feeling, and sympathy for the unfortunate prince is quite general. Expeditions to iuvade Mexico are reported as being organised at various places — Havannah, New Orleans, aud New York being the chief. Fierce prouunciamentos against Juarez are being circulated on the Eio Grande, and there is little doubt that a large number of those unruly spirits of whom the United States has so many can be gathered together. to form a filibustering party. Recruiting

offices for this purpose have been opened in New Orleans and New York, and in Buffalo a regiment of cavalry is being organised. A number of the recruits of this regiment parade in the streets with a red badge, bearing tlie inscription, ' Poor Carlotta. We- will avenge Maximilian. On to Mexico.' In Washington there is an influential element at work to get the United States' Government to use strong measures with Mexico, the seizure of Santa Anna on an American vessel, and the lawless depredations constantly made alo.Dg the Rio Grande, being urged as sufficient provocation. Several politicians are also trying to secure the appointment of Minister to Mexico. It is reported at New Orleans that Lopez, who sold Queretaro and Maximilian, was assassinated afterwards, and his blood money was taken by his murderers.
