PARIS, SATURDAY EVINING.
A letter from Frankfort, of the 14th, in the
Moniker, says :—" At one of the last sittings of the
Diet, M. de Bismark, replying to the communicatioas
of the Austrian plenipotentiary relative to the effeo•
tive military strength of that power, made use of
remarks which did not evince a very favourable dis-
position towards the policy of the allied powers. M.
de Biamark has since been disavowed, and blamed
by his government. Prussia, moreover, declares that
she does not demand that the Austrian entitled
shall remain on the federal territory, and that she
does not think of having the fortresses of Luxem-
bourg and Mentz armed."
Captain Merle, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, and
prefect of the palace, has arrived in Paris from the
Crimes.

---
Marshal Paraguay d'Hilliers and General Gras
Willer, appointed to the command of the let and 2nd
corps of the army of the Nortb, will establish their
headquarters, the former at Boulogne, and the latter
at St. Omer. They leave Paris to-day.
The minister of war is largely buying cavalry
horses. All cavalry officers going out to Algiers are
ordered to leave their horses behind them for the ge-
neral service, and to provide themselves with others
in Algeria. The Cent Gerdes have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness to march ; the Bmpe•
roc's private saddle horses have already left Parls,and
'outline' preparation of all kinds seems to
show that his Majesty's departure is at hand.
A detachment or the Imperial Guard left Paris
yesterday. One reason why a very large proportion
of the Guards will be sent out is, that, to the disap.
pointmeet-ef the government, -the 4respe of the line
in the Crimea show very. little disposition to volunteer
into the househoull troops. When the Guards shall
have achieved some feat of arms for themselves, as
they assuredly will when the opportunity offers, it
will doubtless be esteemed an honour to belong to
them. But at present, the soldiers who have fought
a hard winter campaign in the Crimea feel too proud
of their own regiments to accept as a reward a trans-
far to others, whose precedence is merely conven-
tionaL
The Emperor yesterday witnessed the operation of
establishing a camp in the Champ de Mars, by some
squadron of the Chides of the Imperial Guard. lb.

about the Spanish revolution ? Was I not privately
warned to discontinue them ? Was I not officially
warned on Marsh 22, 1854, forthe letter of M. Manic,
ex-President of the Republic of Venice? And have
