NEWS BY THE PANAMA MAIL.
PEANCE. We gather tho following later information from a Panama paper :—: — Much excitement has prevailed in France and Prussia during the last few clays by the report that the Marquis de Moustier has addressed a peremptory note to Prussia on the subject of Schleswig. The instructions to Mr Benedetti are said to bo coincident with a similar despatch from Baron von Beusfc. Coant Bismarck has now to meet another opponent in the Cabinet, and it would appear . that Napoleon 111. proposed to himself to prepare constructive casus belli for possible use next year. Prince Napoleon, who is now on terms with his Imperial cousin, is about to go to Copenhagen, in order to defeat any attempt on the part of the Cabient ©f-Berlin to make a treaty with Denmark as a reconsideration for the retrocession of North Schlcswig. The Emperor's policy, therefore, would seem to bo an Austro-French alliance, with Schleswig for a complaint. By this policy he establishes a connection, which will do something to persuade the French people that he is still in accord Avith Austria, notwithstanding all that has occurred in Mexico, and ho gains the whole year for the military preparations which arc being made. The "Monitcur' 1 attempts to disabuse tho public mivA of the belief that unpleasant negotiations are being carried on with Prussia with reference to North Schleswig. j Tho " Monitcur" asserts that there is no fear of a conflict arising out of the international relations of Franco, and denies tho truth of the report that two camps are being formed, and that extraordinary military preparations are being made. This disclaimer is received both by tho pubh'c and the independent journals with general incredulity. The last day's sitting of the French Senate was marked by a speech from Baron Dupin, in which he explained the past history of Prussia, and said she had .formed a Northern Confederation in Germany which " was offensive to France." Ho further expressed his opinion that Prussia would not stop in her career of aggression, and hoped that the larger States would unite together and limit the • Empire of Prussia to acceptable proportions. The harvest, says the "Gazette des<^ Campagnes," is finished in the south of^ Franco, and has commenced in the ' Central departments. The yield in the South does not appear to justify the expectations announced in the agricultural journals. The rains have laid much of tho corn in the Bearne, the Orleannais, and the Central departments. The consequence is a rise in -the markets. Notwithstanding the bad weather hitherto, the prospect of an average harvest, is still considered likely. Tho Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill has received the Imperial assent, and the prison doors have been thrown open. ' - It is affirmed that in consequence of the expense attending the reception' of the sovereigns and princes in Paris, tho Imperial civil list has exceeded its ordinary budget b,y some millions. The Emperor -it ..^is.^said intends to provide for this excess ;^of expenditure by payments spreading over two or three' years without having recourse to a loan. It i3,said that the cost of the entertainment of. sovereigns and princes will exceed the sum^of tw.QiJni}lioiis sterling. The Paris'" fcess^^ays it has just learned on certain information that Mazzini is in Italy, and actingun, congers with Garibaldi and tho National Bftmlm*&uita. A Florence letter, of July" ■ll^Wo^ "Liberto," speaks of the sudderi^'j disappearance" of Garibaldi after he"liad been seen in tho meditation over the tomb of Ferucci on tho summit of one of tho Apennine mountains. The news had caused ten Italian regiments to be sent to the Pontifical frontiers, and a squadron of observation to the Pontifical coast. According to the '• Presse," Garibaldi is now in the neighborhood of Pisa, where ho has signed commissions for the officers of the bands which are forthwith to invade the Pope's dominions. The first Garibaldian, attack is conjectured as likely to bo made from the Neapolitan frontier. He calculates on an insurrection in Home simultaneous with his invasion. The word has been passed to the intended insurgents to proclaim a republic in Konie.
Ifc is stated that the Liberal G-overn-nient havo finally consented to deliver up the remains of Maxiniilianto the Austrian Legation, and that they will be sent to Vera Cruz,and from there to New Orleans, from whence they will bo forwarded to Trieste in tho Austrian frigate Elizabeth.
