LOMBARDY.

MILAN, Orr. 1.
The military manceuvres have been a failure. The
sodden state of the ground owing to the heavy rains
rendered the projected operations impracticable.
The troops were much discontented, and it became
necessary to order them to their quarters. Some
generals lost their baggage, several soldiers were
hurt, and the whole movement resembled that of a
routed army. The Emperor was the more annoyed
because the Prussian General de Wrangel, the ltus-
Bien General Grotcueel, and many European officers,
were among the spectators.

GERMANY.
FRANKFURT.
The following semi-official article, heading the
Frankfort Journal of the 4th inst., gains importance,
from the journal in which it appears and the place it
occupies therein. It may be taken as a hostile de-
claration of all thenorthern powers against the candida-
ture of the Prince de Joinvillo for the French presi-
dency. The following is the article :
It is more than probable that the Prince of Joinville will
present himself as a candidate for the presidency of the re-
public. We do not yet know the programme of the prince,
but we deplore a project which will serve only to divide
still further the party of ordsr, and strike a fatal blow at
the monarchical principle.
All the news from Paris agrees in presenting as doubtag
and under a gloomy colour the struggle that is about le
commence. Europe will be forced, consequently, to plass
itself upon its guard, in order not to be taken unawares.
We have no reason to meddle in the internal affairs et
France, but we should be acting inconsiderately were went
to take vigorous measures to see that these affairs donators-
promise sooner or later the affairs of Europe. It is trees this
point of view that the northern powen look at this mattwalhey
have perceived that the state of France will long sunk
precarious, inasmuch as personal ambitious and the goesime
of the mass are in rivalry, to leave the field open
all possible chances. France will yet for years les
main in this revolutionary crisis, which was set
calmed down either by Napoleon or Louis-Philippe, and
which could not be settled by the Bourbons, because they
did not succeed in finding a legal form for re-establishing
the monarchical principle on a solid basis.
Thus the policy of the powers at this moment leaves en-
tirely aside the question of persons and political principles,
being shaped only according to that of the principle of social
order, of which almost all parties in France have lost sight-
They thoroughly feel that the precarious situation of the
country cannot be replaced in the interval of a day by
the strong monarchical institutions such as exist in
other parts of Europe ; but they also feel that
anarchy will draw from these very sources, which have
been hitherto looked upon as those of order. They
feel that if Prince de Joins ills be elected President
monarchy will be brought down to the level of the republic.
They feel still more, too, that the prince has no great chances
of being elected. In this case, monarchy would suffer one
more humiliation. We repeat it ; this question is for the
present set aside, but measures will be taken to prevent
the monarchies of Europe from suffering damage from the
experiments about to be made in France by the younger
branches of the Bourbon family.
AUSTRIA.

The Emperor reached Schtinbrunn on the 2nd
instant.

SAXONY.

The Kew Preussische Zeitung positively states
that whilst most of the governments forming the old
Zolirercin have assented to Prussia's treaty, admit ing
the states of the Steu rverein, the cabinet of Dresden
has not only refused its concurrence, but it has ad-
dressed to in brethren of the Zollverein a circular iu
which it declares that it cannot assent to the treaty

of the 7th of Sept., which has been concluded with-
out its concurrence.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Ocr. 1.
In consideration of the recent services rendered to
Cuba by General Enna, it is said that the Queen
will grant a pension of 20,000 reals to his widow,
together with the riband of Maria Louisa.
Lord llowden has obtained a promise from tho
President of the Council of Ministers of an early
audience for M. Oliveira, to discuss the question of
the settlement of the debt on behalf of English
holders.
It seems certain that Mr. Labouchere's visit is
wholly unconnected with politics. Having met a
ifriend, also an M.P., at Pau, they agreed to visit
Madrid together. Mr. Labouchero is at this mo-
ment at the Escurial. He has been presented to
Bravo Murillo by Lord Howden, merely as a
traveller of distinction. He is expected to leave in
a few dayr.
