4 EUROPE. Approval of the Banishment of the Jesuits from Spain. General Prim’s Vigilance and Energy. A General Election and Universal Suffrage Recommended, An Bxglish View of General Grant’s BDlection. The Cunard mail steamship China, Captain Hock- ley, arrived at this port yesterday morning. Her mailisand despatches are only one day later than hose which we received by the City of Boston and olaatia, the substance of which was detailed in Wednesday's HERALD, ) Am address has been presented to the Emperor Na- poleon by about 100 influential noblemen, M. P.’s, and other gentlemen praying his Majesty to support the project.of a submarine tunnel between England and France. An election riot took place at Exmouth on the 16th inst. The mob attacked with stones about fifty of the tenantry of the Hon. Mark Roble, who were mounted on horses, who in turn charged the mob, fortunately without causing any loss of life, though several women and children had narrow escapes. A protest against ritualism has been addressed to ¢ Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Chi. hester by the Archdeacon and the ruraj deans of the Archdeaconry of Chichester, complaining of the ritualistic excesses of the present day. j The Empress of Russia has returned to the Villa @’ Este, from Milan, the waters of the Lake of Como having gone down considerably. General Cialdini ts expected tn Madrid on an ex- traordinary mission to the revolutionary government. The Minister of Justice in Spain has renewed his orders against arbitrary arrests in violation of the privacy of domicile, and the decree which euthor- ived:religious communities (as such) to acquire and possess property has been annulled. Despatches were forwarded on the 16th from the Colonial OMice to the Governors of Gibraltar, Malta, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Labuan, the Straits settle.

The Decree Suappressing the Jesuits Ap- Proved—General Prim’s Activity—Retrench- meont=Universal Suffrage—Articles of Conus sumption Tax Abolished—Work for the Foor, MADRID, Oct. 14, 1863. The decree published yesterday suppressing the society of Jesuits has been received with very gen- eral favor. All the papers warmly approve of the ict, and [ have yet to hear a person expresa any disapprobation of the measures taken by the gov- ernment to effectually remove a great evil to the Siate and to society. 1 do not mean to say that there is not @ considerable party in the country who wiil regard the act as impious and cruel, and one that ‘will surely bring down long and terrible punishment on the heads of the chief movers in the scheme. But the opinions of such people will have no eifect on the Ministry, who will carry out thelr designs in spite of obstacles the Church may attempt to raise up before them. Many of the Jesuits detected the rising of the storm and made off. Where they will all settle is a question; but they will doubtless find an asylum in France, where they can watch the future course of events and be on hand to avail ihemeelyes of the change in the current of public opinion, tt should ever come. | General Prim ts working away at the army, cuf- | ting off aoubtful branches and strengthening the sound ones, He has decreed the dissolution of the Rural Guards, a corps formed not more than a year ago, ostensibly to guard distant and dangerous agri- cultural districts, but really to take care of the es- tates of the Conchas, those of the Ministers and of such people aa were pets of the ministry, all at the expense of the State, General Prim has now sup- ed the whole thing. The officers and sergeants gre transferred to tho Ctvil Guards.

In every way it was a very desirable corps to be attactied to, as all the young b.vods thought.

Threatened Eruption of Mount Vosuvius. (From the Liverpool Dally Courier, Oct. 16.) If the renewed activity of Mount Vesuvius shonld be followed by an eruption, a3 the present appear- ance of matters would seem to threaten, the cir- @ ces Will @ condition of the volcano differti wholly from thing which has been observed for the it teen centuries, J¢ hag happened during the last two hundred years that the mountain has been in eruption twice during the course of @ few months, but the occurrence of three eruptions 1n the course of a year fs altogether un- pipcadtoret. If we trace the history of the moun- ‘in from the period of the great outbreak of 79 A. D. ‘we shall recognize, amid # considerable amount of irregularity, a gradual increase in the rapidity with which the eruptions of the volcano have followed each other. Nor has the increase in the number of eruptions been in any way attended by a decrease in their intensity, On the contrary, the eruptions of 1779, 1798 and 1822 have been as violent, Perhaps, as any which the mountain has givea vent to during the whole period which elapsed since the eruption of °7), ‘The eruption which took place last winter was also a remarkably violent and persistent outburst. Enormous masses of red hot stone and rock were hurled forth for days tozether, and at night the inten- sity of the fire which waa raging within the bowels of the disturbed mountain was indicated by the resplenden! whiteness of the vast canopy of vapor which overhung Vesuvius, Since that time Vesuvius can hardly be said to have rested. it June the mountain was again in active eruption. Gradually the violence of the dis turbance fncreased until the beginning of July, but the mountain did not cease to project stones and cinders until the end of A it. Our readers will doubtless remember that we indicated at that time the apparent connection between the occurrence of earthquake at Gibraltar with the movements of the disturbed mountain, Since then other earth- quakes have occurred in the South of Europe, a cir- cumstance which we cannot but consider conflrma- tory of the views we expressed at that time. It will be noticed that these disturbances have taken place ‘while the mountain has been comparatively at rest, Now that tho volcano ts in action, and a vio- Jent eruption apparently about to break forth, we may look for a ceasation of earthqua ‘es in the Mod. terranean volcanic district. It is worthy of note that the earthquake which shook the British isie3 on the 13th of August, 1916, seems to have been associated with the a of Vesuvius which ocourred within & few days 0!

The News from the Ruined District—Mount Misti Not in Activity—Claims of Uuited States Cidzens-A Mortara Case in Peru— Political Trouble Brewing—An Ingeuious Plan for Kobbery—A Judicial Row. LIMA, Oct. 14, 1868, The Minister of the Interior, who was sent by the government to the districts ruined by the earth- quake, has returned to Lima. The people of the South are devoting all of their energies to the re- building and rehabilitation of their property, and although the shocks are still felt, yet such affection appears to be entertained towards their birthplaces that, with the exception of one city, Arica, the re- maining towns destroyed by the movement will be robuilt on thoir former sites. Your correspondent has noticod that statements havebeen made in the New York papers that Mount Misti, the voloano overlooking Arequipa, waa in ac- tion during the calamity. Such ia not the fact. No new details have been recoived concerning the dis- aster, and we are walting impatiently for the publica- tion of the Minister’s report, to which I have alluded, Although great sympatity ta felt for the sufferers the catastropbo was nothing more than a nine days’ wonder. A tew days since the Attorney General of Peru Pub ished an opinion relative to the clalm of a French resident in Lima, whose establishment was sacked during the disturbances in this city in Jan- uary last. The ideas oxpressed in this document were of such @ nature that, if adopted by the gov- ernment, forelgners domiciled in Peru could nover re- cover damages for injuries received from the hands of infurtated mobs or indemnification for losses suffered under circumstances where the government of thia couptry was proved to be highly culpable. The opinion, indeed, declares that foreign citizens or subjects resident in Peru must in all cases abide by the laws of the republic, and seek their remedy for grievances in the same manner as do Peruvians themselves, thoreby ahutting out from foreigners in this country those very advantages to be derived from diplomatic action that are fully enjoyed by natives ef Peru domiciled in other nations. ‘This extraordl- nary document produced a Line widespread sen- gation among the class particularly referred to, and the Minister of the United States in Lima, General Hovey, {minediately sent ~ bcd. = government cceeded im procuring ntlemsn down an energetic protest a inlons ex- Kelly, hapsaed) Penny an@ Neville, of the Olympto. | presse@ by the Attorney General.

Talcahuano, am important seaport town in the south of the republic, suffered severely from the effects of the rising of the gea in Augast last, and within the last fow days most extraordinary phe- nomena have been observed again in the waters of the bay. After an unprecedented season of rainy weather and terrible “northers"’ the people of Talca- huano noticed on the nights of the 12th and 13th of last month that the sea wes unusually rough, and that the same movements were taking place that warned them in August to fly 60 some place of safety, A long, roaring and subterranean noise was heard, and although at the moment there was not a breath of wind stirring the sea commenced to rise and heave iu @ very violent wanner. Ships anchored in the bay swung in all directions; collwsions, resuliing in considerable damage, took place, and the anchor chains, shaken by some invisible force, caused a sound (hat was heard at agreat distance.

Great Excitement in Oongress—The Railway Question at the Bottom of lt—The Presi- denvs “Ample Faculties” ta Question=Tho Tax on Cotton, Mexico Orry, Oct. 10, 1863. One of the most important events which have hap- pened in Mexico since ite occupation by the republi- can government has transpired since the departure of the last mail, and one which may result in influ. encing much the future of Mexico. On the lat of October the nal vote was taken in Congreas upon the majority report of the com- Mittee to which was referred the approval or or non-approval of the concession given by President Juarez, under the authority of the ‘ample Faculties” to the Mexico and Vera Cruz Raliroad Company, re- sulting in the disapproval of the committee's report ‘by @ vote of seventy-three to sixty-five. This majority report included the withdrawal, to which the com- pany had agreed, of somejof the benefits granted in the original concession. The individual most entitied to be considered as the leader of the Opposigion in this matter is Mr, Zamacena, for- merly tn the Ministry of Foreign Relations, and better known abroad, and especially in England, as Tepresenting Mexico in the Wyke-Zamacena treaty. A day or two previous to this question being put to vote Mr. Zamacena made a some- what lengthy speech in opposition to the com- mittes’s report, which has been characterized by all of the city press but two as being addressed to the passions and the imagination rather than to the judgment of its hearers, while the foreign popula- tion see in itan appeal to national pride, through the false and base modium of denunciations of foreign people and foreign capital, The necesaity of @rallroad from this capital to the Gulf ts now felt more than ever, and thousands of the poorer classes have waited patiently for the comiuéncement of Work, and may now be driven to improper methods of obtaining their subsistence. The revolutionary party, if there now be one in the country, is perhaps the one which has, in tholr earnest desire to defeat and tte the hands of the executive, sacrificed the Interests of their country by defeating this great measure. The sensation produced by thia victory ip Most profound in all circles, and the commercial community seems confounded. The. Trait d’Union, im an editorial addressed to Mr. Zamacena and his associates, says:— What matters your majorit of eight votes? Public opinion has already di xd upon them. It. Says In etfect that Juarez, the mar who bas suifered most from foreign intervention, who has forgotten bis personal injuries, who thinks omy of the good of his country, aud who above all comprehends its true interests aud that it should be covered with rail- roads—his honor is safe, and the gratitude of the nation will bo eternal for his efforts in this matter, You believe you have gained a victory, and without doubt rejoice in the defeat you have inflicted upon the government, Sad victory! Strange pleasure | Whither goest thou? And what of to-morrow? Our pen hesitates to draw the picture of all tue evils you peaare for usin the gayety of your heart. Cursed 0 the rhetoric, if to that we are indebted for the de- cision of yesterday. Mr. Siliceo was right in de- manding that the vote be adjourned. He kaew too well the influence which eloquence exercises upon tropical imaginations, Subsequent to the publication of the above Mr. Zamacena read the paper to the Congress, and amused many of the audience by an appeal which he made to tts members in regard to what he considered its ingulting language. Similar and even more caustic articles baye appeared in other jour- nals. The Globo, of which Mr. Zamacena is editor and proprictor, and the Afonitor, whose ditor has no love for foretgners and cotton cloth eight cents per kilo- m, was defeated by a ty of three yotes.

The report of the minority of the committee, which 1a decidedly unfavorable to the company, was sub- soquently withdrawn, in order to leave the way open for asubstitute for bothreports. Mr. Zamacena tnen proposed # compromise to the agents of the company who are here, but ite terms were such that no capital Gould be raised upon tt in any country, and the Minta- ter of Fomento finally so announced to Congress ofl- cially. While this uncertainty is pending and people are wondering whether the whole question of the “ample faculties” would not be taken tu the Supreme Court for the purpose of deciding the quostion of the right of Congress to annul the concession given b; President Juarez, Congress {3 trifing with the buai- or are withont employment; com- merce dies under the pow blow. _ Jt is aomewhat smusing to notesome of the means used to defcat the measure and place the President in the position he now finds himself. | For gy Ze He bogus com- with their headquarters at Puebla, propose 6 the road and complete it, backed up by some sort ofa of atd from the State goverment of $2,000,000, Bir.

Similar mushroom associations have been made, and most of them evi- dently for the purpose of getting a hold of the pro- perty which now exists, but with no feasible piat @nd no capital for the completion of the line.

Roport of Minister Romere, of the Treasury, to the Mexican Congress. On September 28 Minister Romero, of the Treas- ury, presented his report on the Mexican finances to Congress. The Minister begins by stating that the disorgan- {zed condition of the country has kept the Treasury Department back in its operations. Time is needed to carry out fully the workings of that branch of the government. In some States the local authorities granted unlawful dispensations; in others the State authorities laid hands on tho national revenuos, in spite of the orders from the federal Executive, The only data furnished are those relating to the last six months of the fiscal year ending June 80, 1868, ac. cording to which the receipts amounted to $10,167,« 663 05, About one-half of said amount came from maritime and frontior customs; $1,000,000 from stamped paper sales, another, million from the Cus tom House in the capital, and the balance from mints, taxes on silver, the Post Omce, nationalized property, ec. Taking the last half year as 6 basis, Minister Romero estimates the year's receipts as About $19,625,527 00, This amount would be insuMicient to cover the budgot of expenses voted by Congress, May 80, 1860, for the present fiscal year. There would be a deficit of $60,110 06. ‘The Minister then goes on to show that the receipts of the present fiscal year cannot reach ao high a figure as last year, His reasons for so thinking are three:—First, there will be no re- celpts from confiscated property, sold on account of the owner’s treason; second, there will be few, if any, receipts from tho sales of nationalized property; third, many taxes, fn forco last year, were reduced or abolished by Congress on May 97 last. The amount of taxes thus done away with is estimated at $534,349 20, Among these taxes ls the famous one on the transfers of real ostate, ‘The Minister dismisses the item of the national ex. penditure in a very summary and unsatisfactory manner.
