FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.—Penroe NAPOLNON AND THR RIGINOK.
—The Paris correspondent of the Express says —"I:
think myself enabled to promulgate, on safe ground, •
piece of news of transcendent importance. At the
same time that the Emperor made his cousin vice-prerd•
dent of the Privy Council, he resolved, if my informs.
tion be correct, that, in case of his death during the
minority of the Imperial Prinoe, the Prince Napoleon
should be regent. The resolution was taken wM the
consent of the Empress, who, it will be remembered.
wrote a letter of congratulation to Prima Napoleon as
his apintment. This news, from its very intaortnerna
will almost necessarily provoke doubt.; but I do acre
think it can be authoritatively contradicted."
ITALY.—Treue, Saturday.—The Minister of Austin
has addressed a circular to the Italian bishops rends&
tag them that the encyclical letter and the document
appended thereto must be submitted to the icysl
exequation. The circular further "taloa that •
government reserves to itself the right of declaring
decree with what restrictions the encyclical and
appendix may be published, and what portion thereof
must be suppressed as contrary to the laws of the stele:
&lISTRIA. AND PRUSSIA.—We learn horn • re
liable source that the following is the purport of the
notee lately exchanged between Coutit Mensderff sod
Herr von Bismark. Austria decisively repudiates the
participation prepared to her in forcible measures
against the middle dates, represented as the revolts-
tionary by Herr von Bismark. Austria will not abandon
the ground of Federal right, and reminds Herr TOR
Bismark, in ease Prussia should desire the annexation
of the Duchies, of the suggestion formerly offered to
Ring William through Count Ear*. This was to the
effect that Austria would only consent to the InnlMtion upon being compensated by the enlargement of her
German territory."
PRIISSIA.—The Chambers were opened on Saturday
by the King In person. His Majesty, in the epees
from the throne, said :—"We have to thank the
Present organisation of the army -that it has been p-
ble to carry on war without injuring the industrel and
domestic relations of the country by calling out the
Landwehr. It is, therefore, so much the more the duty
of the sovereign to maintain the existing arrangement.:
and I expect both Houses of the Diet to support me In
the fulfilment of this duty by oonstittrtiooal co-opera-
tion. The developement of the navy requires particular
attention. If Prussia is to aocompligh the teak ap-
pointed for her by her geographical and political pod.
tion, attention mut be paid to the improvement of her
naval strength, even at the coat of great sacrifices. A
plan for the increase of the fleet will, therefore, be laid
before the houses. It affords Me greet araisfaetion that
the favourable state of the finances permitted the was
with Denmark to be carried on without the necessity
arising for the negotiations of a loan. A complete
statement of the expenses of the war and of the die
bursements for that purpose will be presented to the
Chambers after the amounts of the whole year
have been finally closed. The budget will be
immediately presented. It is very satisfactory, and
shows not only a balance of revenue and &epee.
diture, but a considerable surplus wherewith to
meet fresh exigencies. The government has caused
preliminary surveys to be made for • maul to
connect the North Sea with the Baltic. In
consideration of the importance of this magnificent
undertaking to the Prussian navy the govern-
ment will ensure its execution by suitable subsidies.
The difficulties which threatened the continuance
of Zollverein have been averted. The supple.
mentary treaty with France will be submitted
for the approval of the Diet. The negotiations with
Austria for facilitating commercial intercourse with
that country permit us to expect an early result, and
those for the treaty of commerce with France have been
facilitated by equal perseverance on the part of Prussia
and the Impenal Government. The latter treaty,
which will shortly be concluded, will be • fresh pledge
of the existence of amicable relations between the two
countries, through the development of their mutual
welfare. Prussia, while remembering the deeds of her
own army, recognises joyfully and heartily those of the
Austrian forma. As the soldiers of both armies have
shared their laurels as brothers in arms, even so have
the complications that have arisen bound the tw o courts
in closer alliance, firmly and everlastingly hoed on the
German sentiment of Myself and my Illustrious ally.
In these sentiments and • fidelity to treaties Iles •
guarantee for the preservation of the tie which embraces
the states of Germany, and assures the continued eels-
tenors of the Confederation. The mace with Denmark
restored to Germany Its disputed northern boundaries,
and to the inhabitants of those countries the possibility
of sharing our national existence. The objects of my
policy will be to secure this acquisition by measures
which shall facilitate the honourable duty of protecting
those boundaries, allow the Duchies to develop their
rich resources both by sea and land, and make them use-
ful for the material interests of the common fatherland.
For the maintenance of these well-founded claims we
shall meek in their fulfilment to combine the legitimate
demands both of the country and the princes. In order,
therefore, to gain a secure basis for the solution of the
legal questions the law officers of the crown have been
summoned to give a legal opinion on the subject. My
convictions on the legal side of the question, and my
duties towards my country, will guide me in my en-
deavour to some to an understanding with my illus.
trious ally, who has shared with me both the occupa-
tion and the administration of the Duchies. It gives
me lively satisfaction that the military complications
are confined in the smelled compass, and that the im-
mediate dangers which threatened the peace of Europe
have been warded off. Diplomatic relations have been
re-established with Denmark, and those at present
existing with all other powers continue most 'latish°.
tory. My most earnest wish at present is thet a reams-
ciliation should take place between the Chamber of
Deputiee and the Government. The most important
events which have recently occurred have served to
convince me of the necessity for a re-organisation of the
army, which has already shown lb-elf to be conducive
to the carrying on of a victorious war. law resolved
to respect and maintain the constitutional rights of the
representatives. But if Prussia is to retain her inde-
pendence, and her proper position ass European power,
the government must be firm and strong, and a good
understanding with the representatives can only be
secured on the basis of the maintenance of the military
organisation, which Is a guarantee for the safety and
the defensive power of the Fatherland."
AMERICA.—THE CAMPAIGN IN VieonGA.—ln
consequence of the inclement weather military opera-
tions before Richmond and Petersham are suspended.
The roads are in very bad condition, and it is not
probable that any important movement will take place
in either army for some time. It is believed that the
Dutch Gap Canal will prove to be • failure. The
resent attempt to blow out the bulkheads resulted only
in so levelling the ground as to enable the Confederate
batteries to sweep the entire length of the cartel, which
cannot again be entered by working parties until the
batteries are silenced. Guerillas are becoming numerous
and troublesome on the Potoczeg. It is reported that
Mosby is rapidly recovering from his wounds, and will
soon be again in the saddle.
THE CAMPAIGN IN TiNNIIMEM —Richmond peen
publish a despatch from Genera/ Hood. dated Corinth,
December 26, in which he states that his army moored
the Tennessee River without material loss since the
battle in front of Nashville. It is believed that he will
reorganise his army at Tallagoo% or Meriden. It was
rumoured at Nashville that Steadman's cavalry had
captured Hood's pontoon train and 100 wagons.
Forrest's command is said to be near Russellville.—
Richmond papers publish • despatch dated Selma,
Alabama, December 30, admitting that Hood, while
withdrawing from before Nashville, was attacked awl
defeated, but it is claimed that in the subsequent
fighting Hood gained the advantage, whipping Thomas
badly on the 20th, and capturing an entire brigade,
while Forrest is claimed to have captured a brigade
of cavalry and 600 Tremens. Forrest has been
made a lieutenant-generel. Roddy was about to
attack Huntsville, which was occupied by ten Federal
regiments.
New YORK, January 7th.—Mr. Fessenden is nomi-
nated Senator from Maine, and the treasury portfolio
Is virtually vacant. The Federal Senate at Washington
has passed a resolption, enquiring as to the expediency
of selling the cotton captured at Savannah, and dividing

HOLLOWAY'S OINYWINT AND PILLIL—SFAFTOIIOIIII
cures of sciatica, stiff joints, paralysis of the limbs, and
other crippling diseases of the bones, sinews, and
muscles have been accomplished by Holloway's
ointment It is the only unguent which produces any
impression on these complaints. The pills also work
wonders. The ointment and pills should be used at the
same time, for the action of the one Is greatly assisted
by that of the other. Why should any human being
suffer from the above-mentioned maladies, when
Holloway's ointment and pills are to be found in every
city and town is the world? These noble medicaments
are composed of rare balsams, and are as benign and
safe as they are powerful and efficacious.
The following Is an extract from the Second Edition
(page 188) of the Translation of the Pharmsooposia of
the Royal College of Physicians, of London, by Dr. G.
F. Collier, published by Longman and Co. : 'lt is no
mall defect in this compilation (speaking of the
Pharmaimposia) that we have no purgative mass but
what contains aloes; yet we know that hcemorrhoidal
persons cannot bear aloes, except it be in the form of
COCKLE'S FILLS, which chiefly consists of aloes
scammony, and oohs:Toth, which I think are formes
into a sort of compound extract, the acridity of which
is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline process, and by a
fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic
nature. I think no better end no worse of it for its
being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of
commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesi-
