By far the most important Woke yet dealt on the
peen has been inflicted to-day upon the journal con-
ducted with so much talent by M. Emile de Oirsrdin.
The Freese (am you have been informed through the
telegraph) has received a second warning from the
minister of police for the answer to M. Grapier de
Cassagnae. It follows that from henceforth, by a
sired, act of the minister, without appeal to any
tribunal, that important organ and extensive com-
mercial concern may be at any moment besought to a
dead stop, and be supiwessed daring two months.

An impression is abroad, which requires to be cor-
rected, that a reduction is taking place in the French
army. The error is not surprising. General Marian
in a recent speech, alluded to the formation of an
army of reserve in terms naturally leading to tho
inference that a reduction in the regular force was
in contemplation. A late decree, fur the suppression
of thirty-six picked companies of the marines, was
interpreted by an English journal as the commence-
ment of the proposed reduction, the fact being that
the composition of those companies being considered
objectionable, they were replaced by troops selected
upon a different principle, but the marine force has
not been reduced by one man. Within the last few
days orders have been issued that soldiers
whose time of service expires on December 31
should be allowed to return to their homes
immediately. This again has been supposed a
part performance of the promise understood to have
been made by General Megrim. lint simultaneously
with these orders a presidential decree calls into
active service 40,000 recruits on the roll of 1851. Of
these 32,417 are for the land, and 7,533 for the sea
forces. They are all to join their respective regiments
by the 20th of October. The decree states that the
outgoing soldiers will bo sent home sooner than their
time is out, in order to prevent " any increase" in the
effective force of the army. It is, however, to be
observed that to this anticipatoy liberation there are
many exceptions. It does not apply to men in
actual service in Algeria belonging to the artillery,
train, engineers, and several companies em-
bay s:. local works. Another most important ex-
ception is that all commanding officers may detain
the old soldiers till the new ones arrive,if they think
it necessary so to do. Besides, the troops. of the
army of occupation in Italy, the " discipliniures" of
the light infantry battalions in Africa, those of the
fusilier and pioneer companies, all men who
desire to re-enlist at the expiration of their
time of service, and all who desire to servo
out their full time are authorised to remain with
their respective corps. Assuming therefore the
number of the men entitled to their discharge on the
31st of December to be equal to that of the new
levy there is still reason to believe that the army
will be materially increased instead of diminished.
Some old soldiers, it is impossible to tell how many,
will doubtless accept the facilities offered for re-en-
listment, and an indefinite number for one or another
of the many reasons suggested will in fact stay with
their corps till December 31st. It is worthy of no-
tice that the men who may be discharged before their
time will still remain on the rolls of the army. The
regulations state that they cannot marry without per-
mission from the military authorities. They may at
any moment, either in ease of war, or otherwise if
the government should think fit, be called upon to
join their regiments. They will receive a route with
payment of travelling expenses to their homes, but
their definitive discharge will not be given them till
the end of the year.
People have been surprised to-day at learning that
M. Maichain, brother of the ex-representative of that
name, has received orders to quit Franco in virtue of
a decision come to in March last, by the mixed com-
mission, of which ho had never heard till now.

Three men and one woman were yesterday found
guilty, by the tribunal of correctional police of the
crime of evil speaking against the Prince President
of the Republic. They were all sentenced to terms
of imprisonment varying from three to six months,
and three of them were besides fined 100 fr. each.
The correspondent of a German journal, M. Sur.
vady, who had been recently arrested, but was set at
liberty at the request of Prince Camerata, has just
been definitively expelled. lie made efforts to re-
main, but his passport was sent to him.
Count Excelmans, the son of the deceased marshal,
has been thrown from his horse near St. Cloud. It
has been reported that the accident occurred near the
spot where his father met with his death, and that
the results were likely to be no less fatal. I hear,
however, that, although the fall was severe, and
Count Excelmans is obliged to keep his bed, he is in
no danger. He was not thrown in the same road as
that in which the marshal fell, but at *spot further
from Paris, near the Chateau of St. Cloud.

GERMANY.
ZOLLVEREIN.

BERLIN, AUGUST 31.
The Prussian government having, it appears, come
to an understanding with the Hanoverian prime
minister, who is at present here, yesterday convened
the Zollverein plenipotentiaries, and delivered to
them its reply to the Stuttgart declaration. I trans-
late the document at full, not only on account of its
importance, but because its ambiguous character pre-
clude@ the giving it in extract. German diplomacy
always so many loop-holes open, that one can
never lied& what it says, unless one pays particular
attendee to hew it says a thing; it expresses itself
to 11•11 h a Namur. that it shall bo able to turn and
twist the Natter at will. In tho present case, too,
when se mach depends on the temper of the irirtirs,
the tone et negtiation must be narrowly watched.
The dosnineut (of which a summary was gi% en in
our columns yesterday) is as follows :
Is the sitting of the Nth July, the Prussian government
designated two points. the settlement of which at the re-
sumption of the esehiseess it domed IbeU bound to regard
es essididers ere tie esstinuese et the eonferencea and fur
the Author pastidgetisa of all seveniesats in the same.
From the deshretise. given by Bavaria, Eason), Wur-
temberg, the two Hewes, end Nassau, on the 21st inst., it
appears that, as regards the first point, the said govern-
ments have drawn, from the discussions in the
conference on the subject, the conviction that the Prussian
proposal for uniting the Steuerverein with the Zollverein
forms no obstacle to the renewal of the Zollverein treaties,
and that they would be ready to accede to the said proposi-
lion with such moditlcans u have resulted from the

negotiations hitherto held thereon: While tieFrussii;
government, after this declaration, may assume that unani-
mity said on one of the most important objects of tho pre.
,cut negotiations, it cannot but recognise herein, with un-
feigned satisfaction, a realisation of the conviction, expressed
by all Zollverein states on former occasions, as regards
the high importance of amalgamating both unions.
Touching the second point (the postponement of all nego-
tiations for a commercial treaty with Austria till alter the
