you'll find many usb interrupt numbers, and two i8042 (if your mouse and keyboard is ps2) .. so you can do what Vijay has just noted to determine which usb or which i8042 is your mouse using
Hope this helps

This will not be true always. Easiest way to do this is:
1: type cat /proc/interrupts and see the number of interrupts in each line.
2: move the mouse.
3: check the number of interrupts again. Each mouse movement will
reliably increment some interrupt's count..
(couple of them may increase , for e.g timer..) But you can easily
narrow it down.

Btw, I see the interrupt numbers are in the hundreds.. Out of
curiosity, what is the processor?
