PRUSSIA AND FEDERAL REFORM.

BERLIN, BiPT. 23.

The Norddeutsehe Zeitung of this evening pub-
lishes the text of the report of the ministry to the
King upon the question of federal reform.
The same paper is informed that an Education
Bill is being prepared for presentation to the
Chamber.

The New Preussische (Kreus) Zeitung of to-day
publishes the reply of the King to the princes and
burgomasters of the German Free Towns who oom-
municated to his Majesty the resolutions of the
congress of sovereigns. The propositions of Austria
and her allies are rejected, and the conditions stated
upon which the King desires to establish federal
reform. These consist in parity of Austria and
Prussia in all federal concerns, equal right of veto
of both the great powers, and a different organisa-
tion in the representation of the country at the
Federal Assembly to that proposed by Austria.

BERLIN, Barr. Z 3, Emma.

The following are the main features of the minis-
terial report of the 16th inst. to the King upon
the question of Federal reform.
The report commences with a complaint that the
Austrian reform project was imperfectly communi-
cated to the King, and after the date of the invita-
tion to the other sovereigns. Herr von Bismark is
opposed to any declaration of war so long as
Federal territory should not be assailed.
The report advocates the thorough equality of
Austria and Prussia in the directorate, direct elec-
tion of the popular delegates, and more extended
powers for the national representatives.
The ministry propose that the King shall decline
assent to the Austrian plan, and enter into negotia-
tions with his Federal allies upon the points indi-
cated above, convoking a conference of ministers
of the different German States to agree upon an-
other scheme of Federal reform. This scheme
shall thea be submitted either to elected repre-
sentatives of the nation, or laid before the diets of
the different German States.

THE REVIEW NEAR MILAN.

The military manoeuvres which took place to-day
at Gallarate lasted three hours.

Majesty was accompanied by the royal princes,
numerous offioers of the staff, and several foreign
officers, and was received with great enthusiasm.

AIX L BMWS, SAVOIE. Barr. 21.
This charming place has been pretty nearly de-
serted by its visitors for the last mouth, and yet at
no season of the year can it be more attractive
than in September. The fearful heats of summer
depart suddenly at the end of August, and leave
in their stead the most delightful bright and fresh
atmosphere imaginable. The whole country is at
this moment one great vineyard, hung with purple
clusters, lining every hedgerow and falling from
every tree, while between them glimpses of the
lovely lake and mountains break through as if in
the fantastic scenes of • " Midsummer Night's
Dream." Nor is it only the eye which is flattered
in Savoy. Such rich and luscious fruit I have
never eaten, save from first-rate gardens in Eng-
land ; the prim of it is fabnloualy cheap.
Stopping at a little roadside " auberge,"
where the usual inscription, " Loge h pied,"
announced the bumble ambition of the pro-
prietor, we obtained as many peaches and figs
as • party of three could conscientiously devour,
and on tendering the handsome remuneration of
half-afrano (5d.) we received 20 centimes (2d.)
in change. The usual prices in the little market-
place are, for large peaches, 4d. a dozen ; black figs of
peculiarly fine flavour, lipd. a dozen ; and excellent
Peal:*, grapes, walnuta, and greengages are to be had
at similarly low cost. Driving down the roads, one
sees the children shaking down the walnuts by
thousands into baskets held by women below, oxen
drawing carts of apples, and everywhere before the
doors of the pretty cottages, preparations of new
and clean casks for gathering the grapes next week.
It is • land of overflowing plenty, and of such rich-
ness and beauty as cannot elsewhere be easily
paralleled.
Why the English travellers who crowd every
other watering place in France and Germany do
not visit this delicious spot is a mystery.. In the
full season it overflows perhaps a little too much
with French and Italians, and the prices at the
hotels are high and the heat excessive. But as soon
as the " grands chaleurs" have passed there is
plenty of excellent accommodation and the country,
only grows in loveliness every day. Yet of the
7,653 visitors who have this year come to Aix, it
does not appear by the list of names that more than
ten per cent. were English.
As to the waters, they are certainly wonderfully
efficacious, as I can testify by experience. Of
course it is only for certain classes of diseases they
have a beneficial power. Of these, rheumatic and
neuralgic affections and surgical cases seem the
most successful. According to a clever
analysis drawn up by the excellent Dr.
Davat, maire of the town, and one of the
physicians of the bath establishment ; there
were in 1854 1,556 cases which came under his
inspection as treated by either the douches, the
baths, or the inhalation room. Out of these 4566,
436 were perfectly cured, 880 much advanced in
recovery, and only 223 left unaided. The arrange-
ments of the public establishment for these various
modes of treatment are made with very charitable
intentions. There is • hospital attached, containing
140 men and 40 women, from all parts of France,
and tickets are given to respectable persons of poor
means (les pasties honteux), enabling them to
receive all the benefits of the waters and cares of
the attendants absolutely gratis. For others, the
prise for being taken to the bath house in a cliaise-
. parent's, bathed and douched therein sad
brought home again, is 3f. These chaise-h-pOrteurs
are most ludicrous machines, covered over like a
Venetian gondola, the figure of the patient, well
wrapt up therein, appearing vaguely to the spec-
, Wore. As to the scenes in the various ,Malls des
Douches and Piscina, whosoever has visited such
places will not need to have them recalled in all
their supreme absurdity. It is decidedly a co:mo-
t/Ai= when one is oneself sick and helpless to see
a few others in the same condition, all inspired by
the hope of speedy recovery. The old Bath Guide
held out the attraction to lodgers in the Parade
