REPLY OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO
THE GERMAN SOVEREIGNS.

BERLIN, Avousr 24.

The reply of the King of Prussia to the collective
invitation of the German Sovereigns to attend the
Frankfort Congress, dated the 20th inst., has been
published to-day.
The King repeats the refusal be bad already
given on the 4th inst., observing that he feels it the
more incumbent upon him to do so from not having
yet received any official communication of the pro-
positions. His Majesty states that it would be
impossible to participate in the deliberations of the
Congress without entering into binding engage-
ments, which he could not do without consulting
his advisers. Every communication, however,
made to his Majesty by his Federal allies will be
readily and carefully taken into consideration.
A despatch of Herr von Bismarck to Herr von
Sydow, the Prussian representative at Frankfort,
has been published, dated Baden, the 21st inst. It
concludes as follows :

"For the peasant I must declare the Austrian
project of federal reform, according to our opinions,
neither adequate to the actual position of the Prus-
sian monarchy nor to the just interests of the
German people. Were Prussia to accept the pro-
positions, she would renounce the position her
power and history have created for her in the family
of European States. She would run the risk of
devoting the strength of the country to ends foreign
to its interests, and over whose employment we
should not have that degree of influence and con-
trol we are justly entitled to claim."

THE ITALIAN BRIGANDS.

The official reports of the committee upon bri-
gandage, appointed by the Italian government some
months since, have just been issued. The committee
was divided into two sections, iu order to facilitate
labour. Each of these sections has issued its report,
and both are of considerable length. A correspond-
dent of the independence Beige says that these re-
ports are filled with documents and revelations the
publication of which cannot be otherwise than
serviceable to the Italian government. He adds
that proofs of the complicity of Rome with the
brigands are overwhelming. The officers of the
Pontifical gendarmerie were iu regular oorrespond-
ence, we are told, with Chiavone, and bestowed
upon him the sounding titles of General and
Excellency. The issue of these reports has been
accompanied by the publication of the inesaures
now in course of adoption for the suppression
brigandage.
The Official Gazette of the 21st August contains
the text of the temporary measure recently passed
by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies with a
view to the suppression of brigandage. It is to re-
main in farce only until the 31st of next December.

ALTITUDE OP THE GREAT POWERS.

[ON.

In semi-official quarters at Berlin, it is stated that
a convention has been concluded with Russia rela-
tive to the marching of Prussian troops across the
frontier in the event of the rebellion assuming
greatly increased proportions.
The Nord Deutsche AUgemeine Zeitung says :
"The convention newly concluded with Russia re-
lates, it is said, among other things, to the treatment
of Russian troops which pass over into Prussia. We
hear that these will henceforward retain their
arms." The Kreuz Zeitung (also semi-official) adds
its belief that the convention extends to measures
for obtaining the mastery of the insurrection, to
which end the co-operation of Prussia may perhaps
hereafter become necessary, and meanwhile it would
appear that the forwarding of Russian troops
through Prussian territory, and especially by
means of the railway, is one of the points decided
by the convention.
The Indipendance, of yesterday evening, speaks
of a long interview between the Russian minister
at Paris and M. Dronyn de Lhuys. The en-
gagement between Russia and Prussia is said
by the same authority to have caused a
sensation at Vienna, London, and Paris, and
"already a despatch is being concocted in the
Chanoellerie of the French Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, to make known to the Prussian govern-
ment that the Emperor Napoleon sees it
with regret depart in this case from the
principle of non-intervention. The despatch es-
pecially dwells on the view that there are between
Poland and Russia questions of international law,
and of respect for treaties, which interest Europe,
and not merely the powers which shared between
them the kingdom of Sobieski."

BTETTIN, Fire. 14.
The Ostiee-Zeitung of to-clay has the following
news respecting the Polish insurrection :
" The insurgents have captured a courier bearing
despatches from M. de Tengoborski to Baron Rad-
berg, Russian ambassador at Paris, and M. P.
d'Oubril, Russian ambassador at Berlin, relative
to the attitude of Prussia and Austria in reference
to the insurrection, and accusing the latter power
of encouraging the movement.
" The insurgents also captured letters addressed
by the Grand Duke Constantine to a foreign Princess
and the Count d'Aquile, expressing his surprise at
the outbreak of the insurrection, but at the same
time stating his resolution not to abandon the
course he has hitherto followed."

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

After our report left yesterday,
Mr. Aomensow persisted in his clomp of mismanagement
on the part of the directors, and roamtaioed the accuracy of
the figures be had from time to time published, and which
the chairman called in question. He declared that the train
mileage had increased in an improvident manner as corn.
pared with their increased receipts; that their property
was not, am woe stated, in such a peculiar position as to
render comparison with other railways impossible ; that the
working expenses amounted to SI or 58 per cent. of the
gross receipts ; and that with certain reductions of expen-
diture which h enumerated the property would realise the
5 per cent. formerly promised by him. He announced that
be had been entrusted with 800 proxies, and if there was
any doubt as to the fulfilment of his promises it might be
readily tested by a proposition that the directors should
receive no remuneration until 5 per cent. was earned. He
concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that the
report should be adopted only in so far as it authorised the
proposed division of Ili per cent and the consolidation of
the company's shares into stock.
Mr. REYNOLDS seconded the motion.
Mr. RHYMES regarding the issue raised moue of confidence
or no confidence in the present board, or the election or not
of Mr. Anderson as a director, saw no ground upon which
he should support the amendment.
Mr. LEER supported the amendment, but declared that
he should not have taken that course if the object bad
been &party one, to displace the present board, or any Jodi-
ridged member of it. It was only part of a general move-
ment amongst railway shareholders throughout the
country to enforce upon directors a system of economic
management.
A lengthened disc anion ensued, in the course of which
Mr. Smith suggested, as a means of meeting the difficulty,
that Mr. Anderson should be,elected to the board • and Mr.
Freeman suggested the appointment of a committee of six
shareholders, to investigate the differences between the
figures of the hoard and those of Mr. Anderson.
Ultimately • division was taken, and the amendment was
declared to be carried.

Tiise;ritiniwiiidemaoded. the result of which will be an-
nounced at two o'clock on Tuesday.
This brought to a close the proceedings, which throughout

THE FRENCH PRESS UPON THE
IMPERIAL SPEECH.
PARIS, Nov. 6.

The Patric of this evening contains an article in
praise of the Emperor's speech, and ending thus :
" The dilemma of peace or war is stated. It is a
cry which modern Europe utters to the ancient
coalescing courts—a cry which re-echoes at Berlin,
at Vienna, at Rome, and at Venice. It is a cry
which Poland accompanies with her sobs. It is a
warning given by Imperial France while boldly
hoisting the flag of liberty.
" Let us not attempt to predict the reply of the
Europe of 1815. Our part is to wait. Let us be
proud of finding in the language of the Emperor
the thought of a great people. We feel that the
future constantly belongs to sovereigns faithful to
their origin ; and if our patriotism is able to ex-
claim loudly, 'The treaties of 1815 have reseed so
exist,' our generosity is able to add, ' Poland will
soon have ceased to suffer.' "
In the Opinion Nationale of this evening M.
Oueroult speaks in similar terms.
The Prase publishes an article by M. de Girardin
declaring that the Imperial speech desire' the peace
of the world, but affirms that many people consider
it as the announcement of war. The Preen never-
theless continues to consider the speech as of a
pacific tendency.

The Nord thinks the Emperor's speech the most
considerable and significant fact in favour of peace
which has transpired for a year.
In the Sii!cle M. Havin believes there is a possi-
bility of war expressed in the speech, if the Kiup
of Europe do not give just satisfaction to their
subjects.
La France of this evening says :—" We are in
a position to announce that the declarations con-
tained in the Imperial speech will immediately be
fodowed by diplomatic overtures. The Emperor
Napoleon will address a letter to the sovereigns
who are friends and allies of France, to submit a
project of European arbitration for their approval.
An European congress may be considered as being
convoked. We shall know in a few days whether
the proposal is accepted or rejected. The Polish
dispute is now merged in the European question."
The official Yellow-book will not be distributed
among the senators and deputies until Monday.
