BISMARCK AND DEPUTY VIEOIiOW.
BitaLlN, it= 8.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Herr Forkeubeck, before the order of the day was
taken up, called the attention of the house to the
rumours current of an impending duel between
Herr von Bismarck and Deputy Virrhow, arising
out of offensive expressions need by the latter due-
iug a recent debate.
Herr Forkenbeok observed that a duel on ac-
couut of expressions used is parliament could not
and must not take place. He celled upon the Pre-
sideut to do his duty.
President Grabow hoped that deputy Virchow,
then absent, would submit to the rules of the
house.

General von Roos, Minister of War, said that
when imputations were made two any man's
honour, no power, not even the highest iu the
country, was competent to declare satisfaction had
been given. Tie matter had not been settled by
the remarks of the President. If Deputy Vweliew
declined to withdraw his hastily uttered tamer
Biome, the course to be adopted must be left iu Meer
you Bianiartl'a hands. . .

After a rehemeut debate, in which speakers of
all parties shared, Preeideut Grabow said that as
no motion was before the house, no resolution
could be passed, and he should therefore consider
the matter as settled. Be trusted that, as a mem-
ber of parliament, Deputy Virehow would only do
what he could justify according to the law and the
constitution. _ _

Upon the bowie passing to the order of the day,
all the proposals of the committee ou military re-
organisation were adopted ; while the purely cos-
seurervative propositions made by the government
were rejected.

between Italy and the &inverter; to be adhered to
by the other German states. The Italian govern-
ment considers it incompatible with its dignity and
it. position towards the Italian nation to conclude
any treaty different to those which it has entered
into with England and France. The Italian parlia-
