From Vicksburg--Count Mercier to sail for Europe — correspondence between foreign Consuls and Butler.

Augusta, June 27.
--The Jackson Mississippian, of the 23d, says that Porter's mortar facet was repulsed at Grand Gulf by light batteries.

The enemy opened on Vicksburg, Saturday, for one hour. No injury reported.

Col. Stone, late of the Memphis Appeal, says that Cincinnati papers of the 16th, contain a Washington dispatch, stating-that-Count Mercier had engaged passage to sail in the next steamer to that carrying out Lord Lyons. The report excited much sensation in Yankeedom.

Gen. B. F. Butler has had a sharp correspondence with the British, French, and Greek Consuls relative to some sugar seized belonging to subjects of those countries, and to the oaths required of aliens. His language was coarse and pointed.
