FRENCH DIPLOMACY.

The Dnissels independence states that M. Thou-
venel has sent a note to the new Italian ministry
demanding, in the most urgent manner, the cessa-
tion of the meetings of the Provvedimento, or,
at least, that there shall be more calmness
in their deliberations. Diplomatic French

agents have, it is affirmed, Bet out for Turin,
charged to support with the Italian cabinet
the observations of M. Thouvenel, and to enforce
the same considerations upon General Garibaldi
and the chiefs of the committee at Genoa. At the

moment at which M. Thouvenel sends this note,
it is alleged that the minister transmits to the
Marquis de Lavalette the text of the address
of the Senate, adding, that he need not
call the attention of that diplomatist to the
force given by the unanimity of the Senate to the
counsels which, with so much perseverance and so
little result, have been addressed by the govern-
ment of the Emperor to the Holy See. It is said
that in the same despatch M. Thouvenel intimates
to the Marquis de Lavalette that he will shortly be
in a position to send to him the address of
the Corps Legialatif, and will possibly announce
to him at that time new instructions. Lastly,
another despatch of • much more urgent charac-
ter has been addressed by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs to the cabinet of Madrid, demanding that it
should put an end in the shortest possible time to the
misunderstanding which continues at Vera Crux
between the commanders of the Spanish and the
French forma, and informing it that in Case of an
agreement not being speedily established, the im-
perial government would consult its own dignity
and the health of its troops by causing the French
expedition to advance.

PRUSSIA.

Prince Hobenloe, who has just been appointed

President of the Cabinet, is an active member of
she feudal party and the President of the Chamber
of Peers. M. de Hohenzollern, whom he re-
places, was a liberal. The other liberals in the
Cabinet find their position increasingly delicate.
Already M. de Bethmann has given his portfolio
to Count de Schwerin, who, in turn it is
said, seeks to retire. M. de Patow is also
reported to wish for a successor ; and it is
much doubted whether M. d'Auerswald will con-
sent to be one of a Cabinet presided over by Prince
Hohemloe.

The greater number of the deputies have now
left Berlin. In parting the general expression was
"du revoir—in May."

The following " coals to Newcastle" are im-
ported by the Petrie, Prase, and other Paris

ington enabled him to state that, towards the
month of June, a friendly separation will take
place between the North and the South. Three
states, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky, will

be composed in future of 21 states, while the South
will only comprise 13. The two republics will
