THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1867.

PARIS, Nov. 13. 1
The Minister of Public Instruction has addressed '
a report to the Emperor, dated Bth November,
recommending that in the Paris International
Exhibition of 1887 there should be a representation
of the progress made by'the moral an
political sci-
ences in France during the last 20 years, by means of
a series of reports from eminent men upon the se-
veral branches of these subjects.
The minister's report is as follows :
Sire, —The idea of periodical exhibitions Im entirely
Frau'. It Wes from Louis XIV. for the fine arts, from
the revolution for trade; end France, suer having gives it
to the world,bas oneessisgly enlarged proportiose in order
reader It more fraitfuL As far book as sixteen years
ago, Sire, you wished to invite all the nations to these grand
solemnities. It was England wbo realised this idea and
saw the stet international exhibition. The palace in Hyde.
park only resolved in 1851 objects faro/abed by asters her-
self or by human industry. Io 1855 the Emperor decided
that the two previous French Exhibitions should be united.
Art was placed aide by aide with ufactures. Amid
the maimitieeime displayed Is Loudon Is 1862 it was maw
sloe& that the most plosions instrument of labour was still
man, and that the productive value of the workman would
be increased by augmenting his intellectual vales. The
English oonimindos ersated a special class of popular
instruction with this same object; the Imperial communion

'l;;YZt7strilrels;dttro. - -
But international exhibitions teed to become the dom.
pieta representation of modern society in all its modes of
activity. After !arise placed art by the side of manufac-
toren which it embellishes sod elevates, your Majesty
wished to place pure science nail the applications which
are oily its outward manifestation. While the Emperor
climate the study of the questions which will lead to the
discovery of that organisation, which since the destruc-
tion of trade csrporations the meet:eagle world has
been issestantly 'asides, you desire, Sire, that it be de-
manded of the morel end political ectienoss what they have
produced to ameliorate the state of society,
end of French
htemittr• what it has dose " to elevate the soul of the

nation.„
The way of realisiog this ides is simple. Let the Emperor
deign to authorise the Minister of Public Instruction to be
an exhibitor. If his productions campy
an small space
under a very modest form, they will noes the lees attract
attention, and I do not hesitate to say that several trill
tinniest the triumph. of tbeir mom brilliant asightiouni,
since the one much more than the other expresses the
mind of France.
I have already secured the support of eminent men who
will describe in a series of report., bearing theirseste
in order that each may have the hamar as well
as the responsibility of his work. 1. The progress accom-
plished in France in the mathematics/, physical, and
natural miasmas during the last twenty years, that is to
say, lime the era of great exhibitions ; 2. The progress
accomplished by the moral and political sciences in their
application to the necessities of society ; 3. The part ful-
filled by French literature, which should be studied less in
point of form, which is the mission of literary criticism,
than in its effects upon the general education of the country.
At the Exhibition Palace, in the midst of those material
products which an a pledge of national welfare, the liberal
arts can only enter by showing that they bring to a people
not only noblifamusemeut, but moral strougth and dignity.
The Emperor, whose solicitude extends from the simple
teaching of the infant school to the highest speculations of
science, cannot give a more useful encouragement to the
latter than this picture of the efforts, the greeteem, and
eves in certain points the defects, of the mind of France.
If foreign 'miaow thought fit to make a similar examina-
tion of thercselves, it would oolongs, only be by tbe inventions
of each that all would profit. By a comparison of the ro-
gues accomplished in various parts in scientific and moral
order, every people would enter the path of fresh progress,
the level of civilisation would rise, and an additional gua-
rantee would be gives for the peace of the world.—l am,

DESPATCH OF BARON VON MUST TO
AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

DRESDEN, N0v.12.

- - •
The following is the text of tke despatch ad-
dressed by Herr von Bengt, Saxon Minister for
Foreign Affairs, to the Saxon ministers at Vienr
and Berlin :
Dresden, Oct. 11.
Oa the oseesion of my reception to-day of the diplo-
made body, the envoys of Austria and Prussia gave me
information of a step which their governments had taken
towards the somata of the tows of Frankfort, namely, that
corresponding notes had been despatclaial to their respec-
tive representatives in the free town of Frank-
fort, in which complaint was urged spirit the
excesses of the recent assembly of deputies, tutee
reap made to the previously proved connivance of the
senate, and stress laid upon the necessity of preventing
repetitious, especially any further meeting of the Committee
of Thirty-six, sod at the same time threats held out of
independent action by both powers in case of Don-complianos.
I did not consider it necessary to ester upon a &tailed
discussion of these documeota. As far as regards the com-
plaints relative to the past, it is the business of the Freak-
fort senate to come to au understanding with the two cons-
planting governments. Bat as regardsthe pond:alit, of
independent action, it is a question of an eventosluity which
dose sot yet present itself. At the same tne, we
do not with that the interpretation of consent
should be put nport our silence, but rather that,
the opportunity occurring, we reserve liberty of
opinion and declaration, all the more since we cannot
overlook the decisions contaiced in the Federal fundamental
law, respecting independent action in case of differences
between the members of the confederation. That the
dis-
advantage of agitating meetiop, possessing no coostitu-
tional hula, being held at the seat of the Federal Diet, is
dwelt spot in both documents is a consideration the right
to make which we are by no mesas inclined to gainsay,
although we are so far surprised at it, since in the mums
of the last six yenta similar meetings have frequently been
held in Frankfort without having given rise to any such
protests on the part of the governments of Austria
and Prussia. But further consideration of the matter
should have brought into notice the fact that Frank-
fort, as the seat of the Federal Diet, is perhaps
subject to an exceptional decision. and that it certainly
must be the affair of the Federal Diet to decide whet
measures it might be proper and necessary to tete or not
towards the territorial government. The premised of the
Anstro-Prassian garrison, which is oleo dwelt upon in both
document+, is certainly a consideration worthy of notice, and
must be takes into account by that body, since their pre-
pence is not based upon treaty or nay other relation between
Austria and Prussia and the town of Frankfort, bat is
rather founded me the close enottexioo of the Nat of the
Federal Diet with that town.
Your Excellency will read this note to the Minister of
Foreign Arkin or his representative. MUM
