LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Times, Sept. 26.) THE NEGOTIATIONS ON THE POLISH QUESTION. Paris, Sept. 25. La Nation of this evening announces that according to information received from a Vienna correspondent, M. Drouyn de Lbuys, immediately on being furnished with the Russian reply, communicated with the French Ambassador at Vienna, requesting him to remind Count Rechberg that Austria took the initiative in six points, and that consequently it belonged to Austria to take the initiative in requesting the formal adhesiop of Russia to the six points, and, it thought expedient, to demand that Ru'sja should immediately commence carrying the same in f o effect. Count Rechberg was disagreeably surprised by the proposition of the Duke de Graramont, and immediately referred it to the Emperor, who appeared surprised an i dif satisfied at this demand being addressed to Austrii. The Vienna correspondent of the Nation adds that the request made by the Duke de Gratnmont was a forma! one, accompanied by certain observations imparting to it extreme gravity. The Duke de Grammont is said to have allowed if to be seen that France attached such importance to the initiative chiraed from Austria, that he would not answer for the consequences that might result from the refusal of the Vienna Cabinet, even from a point of view affecting the Austrian possessions in Italy. La Nation applauds the policy of the French Government, and states that Prince Napoleon leaves this evening for London, on a mission, it is believed, to the English Government. The same journal believe? itself to be able to state that Baron Gross will be replaced at London, but that his successor is not yet designated. The Duke de Persigny and Count Walewski are spoken of to fill the post. DISMISSAL OF GENERAL MOURAVIEFF. Berlin, 25th September.

THE SCHLE3WIG HO^TEm QUESTION. Copenhagen, 25th Sept. The following is the summary of a note on the Dano-German question, dated 19th July, addressed by the Swedish Government to its ambassadors in London and Paris .— "The demand of the Federal Diet that Denmark should withdraw her proclamation of the 30th of March, has made the interference of Germany in the aflairs of that kingdom intolerable. " Denmark, in her reply, will probably refuse to comply with the demands of the Diet, and declare that Federal execution would be considered equivalent tOR declaration of war. Such a replj would be justifiable, for the demands of the Diet relative to Uolstem have been acceded to, and it has no right to interfere in the affairs of Schleswig, to which duchy, mi° r6 H Ver ' Government has granted every liberty. Ihe western Powers could not remain indiflerent to a war which may easily ensue if they do not protect Denmark. Sweden might, perhaps, in such an eventuality, becpmpelled to take an active part, inasmuch as the Eubjugation of Denmark would endanger the interests of Sweden.
