Is a despatch of the 21st ult. Count Idistisdorff ex-
memo his regret that the Premise reply of the 13th

solution of the question of the Duchies. The

THE PRUSSIAN PRETENSIONS.
The Kreutit Zeitung, with the nairete of the
enfant terrible, thus divulges the motives for the
delays and obstacles which Prussia opposes to the
prompt solution of the question of the Duchies.
It says :—" We do not wish to look to the Duke of
Siestrig-Holstein and his chambers for the WW-
I 411400 to which we have a right in that country ;
we do not wish to demand of them permission to
eater their ports or to visit their fortresses. We
well know that we shall not be able to gain an
immediate triumph for our just pretensions ; but
we know also that no one can do anything there
without us or against us, and in the Prussian
school we have lestrut to wait. Is this

AUSTRIA AND FRANCE.

being universally admitted to be too small for the
Universal Exhibition of 1867, it seems to be quite
decided that a new building will be erected iu the
Champs de Marc The cost, estimated at 18
millions of francs, is to be defrayed as follows :-
6 millions by the subscriber, 6 by the City of
Paris, and 6by the State. The receipts will be
applied—l. To the reimbursement of the pro-
prietors ; 2. to that of the City of Paris ; and 3rd.
to that of the State. By this arrsupment, it is
not d'ubted that the subscribers will get back the
whole of their money at all events ; the City (4
Paris will probably get back the whole or the greater
part, not to speak of the great benefit which the
city funds will derive from the influx of strangers.
The State alone may perhaps lase, and the govern-
ment is resigned to this contingency from the con-
sideration that public money could scarcely be
spent for a better purpose.
Monsieur J. Bonifaoe, whose literary name, J.
B. Xaintine, is well known in England as the
author of " Pit:viola," died yesterday. Few of
your lady reader can have forgotten his charming
novel of " Piociola," which has become almost a
household book, and well deserves its popularity
with careful mothers. The innocent loves of a
prisoner in an Alpine fortress, with the flower
which springs up between the joints of the flags
which pave the yard where he is allowed to take
exercise, have made many a young heart beat, nor
was the effect confined either to youth or to the
softer sex. " Picciola," if not the first, was one of
the first productions of the author, who was a dili-
gent writer, but never in his later works attained
such general approbation. K Xaintine was hono-
rary president of the Sociolt4 des Gene de Lettres.

(WIRRAL THOMAS'S CAMPAIGN.

(From the New York Times of Jay. 10.)

General Thomee, we learn, is concentrating his

magnificeet army at Eastport, is the ourthrostera core
of the Slate of Iliminippi, near the point where the mil.
read to Mobile anew the Memphis and Chattanooga coed.
Hs will thus have the most convenient base of supplies that
our Withers army has had minas Gant fought the battle of
Shiloh—ble line of commnalcatice being by water, on the
Teenemes River. He has not cooly driven the rebels 'likely
out al Tennessee, bat has put the State in a perfect oondi-
tioa of defence, no that he may be free, at his convenience,
to inter on hi new campaign southward.
The public wire probably surprised at the information
whisk we pire, on the very best authority, that Thomas
army is this day twice as strong as it was when he began
his late great and glorious campaign against Hood ; that he
bad hese ea reinforced, and had so eoneentrated the troops
in Wm department, Oaths has sow I. head forty thousand
veterans, sad a 'pleaded cavalry force. This army is
almost as great se that with which Sherman marched
aerearGeorgie to Savannah, and, as is natural after such
signal INICINISIS, ill in the very finest condition and highest
spirit, and eager to be led to farther work.
It ham no ebony bat Hood ; it has no line of march but
southward, through the two great cotton States of Mimi.
sip,' sad Alabama, to Mobile. The only military work of
snagnittede sow to be dose in that motion is to swan pos-
minion of Mobile and Montgomery and the control of the
greet rivers which penetrate the Stele of Alabama. If this
were done, the war in aU the great region west of the
Savannah River would'at moo mouse the character it has
in Arkansas and Missouri. There would be minor spasmodic
outbreaks and occasional denionsteatioas of bodies of
rebels ; but as all the plat strategistl limes, the metres
of population, he rivers aid railroads, would be nadir oar
control, all the efforts of the rebels would sweat to little or
nothing.
In suggesting yesterday that the direction of General
Thomas' campaign would now be through these two cotton
States to the chid Confederate port on the Gulf of Mexico,
we suggested only what was perfectly self-midget, and what
the rebels are powerless to provost. The white popu-
lation of Mieisippi, through which General Thome!
would march, is little less than half as great as that of
Georgia, through which Gemini Sherman has just trium-
phantly marched ; and it has no fighting population worthy
of nodes. beyond that which is attached to the wreak of an
army nailer Hood.
Is the light that it would pat definitely and finally under
oar flag and control all the rich and important region
between the Savannah and Mixdarippi rivers, this priding
campaign will be one of great Importers*. ; and, indthe
hands of a soldier who has never loot a battle, from his first
at Mill Springs, to his hat at Nashville, it. theca* may
be cousidered snored in advisee.
