Abater er may be the opinion in hi plaeos &brit
the V.4410;104 lease, the general lading here MOM
tole that some of our journals have made too much
of the matter. There are not wanting pandas .who
consider that it has been ispioiti as political capital,
while some regard the strictures of our Fees as the
roars ebullitions of our commercial jealousy.
The Dtibata recurring to the subject of the famous
article by Louis Veuillot proposing to reward literary
men, not with the decorations of the Legion of Honour,
but with objects of intrinsic value (upon which, when
labouring under temporary impecuniosity, they
might raise the price of a coat or restaurant bill),
says

The Univers, with a bold metaphor, tells u that " if
Bismger hid been decorated there would not have
been in the Legion of Hower the father of a family
whose ribbon would not line been redacted in his
conntsnanor by the crimson of indignation." The
Univers has • bed memory, and little experience.

The following account of the vintage prospects in
the south of France is from a private and perfectly
reliable source :
After • aeries of bad years mused by the ravages of the
oidium, we may comider that the dieser hr nearly disap-
peared. The dryness of the temperature during the sum-
mer, which has proved injurious to meals and other produce,
has been favourable to the vine. The fruit is abundant end
perfectly developed by the heat, so that in spite of oar hay-
ing been obliged to destroy many old vines in consequence of
their having been attacked by the diadem, we anticipate a
vintage equalling the avenge years of the old times. Pink-
ing for red wine ham begun generally, snd we hare every
reason to believe that the rd wines of 1868 will be excellent
in quality,poseeming tlavour,bodymul colour in a high degree.
An to white wines, the vintage is later than in the cent of
red, and will not begin before the end of this month, and will
continue throughout October. Bhonid the weather remain
favourable, we have the same expectations as to the white
wines as bee been mentioned with respect to the red. For
our sweet wines we require a few days of rain to soften and
swell the skin of the grapes, and thereby prodnos that
quantity of juice which gives them their oily luscious flavour.
Should our antidpationa be realised, there must be a con-
siderable fall in prices as regards new wines ; but stooks of
old are so very low that no fall cm be expected in them.

BERLIN, Barr. 90.

definitively regulates the government. The order
will not, however, be published officially until after
the return of the Prince of Prussia from Hanover
and Warsaw. His royal highness leaves this
evening for the former place."

The National-Zeitung was seized yesterday for— a
political article expressing strong objections to a
Co-Regency. The police officers who executed the
order had no written warrant to show, but acted
from mere verbal directions from their chief. In its ,
evening impression the Nationta-Zeitung protests
against such arbitrary proceedings on the part of
the authorities, and maintains that it is not only the
privilege, but the duty, of every journalist to give
an opinion on the events of the day, the more par-
ticularly when they have reference to such grave
matters as those now pending, which cannot fail to
have a lasting influence for weal or woe on the whole
kingdom of Prussia, both abroad and at home. To
this principle of the expression of opinion the 'Crewe
&aim, subscribes, but takes a different view of the
ease, and is in favour of a simple extension of the
Prince Regent's present powers for as long a time as
they may be required.
Prince Alfred has left Berlin, and is gone on a
visit to his uncle at Gotha.

The Dake of Cambridge arrived here yesterday

and is residing at the hotel of the British Embassy.
Owing to influential representations in the highest
quarter, the seven Danish captains who were con-
victed by the Court of Appeal at Stettin (in reversal
of the decision of the inferior court, which acquitted
them) far transgressing the laws relating to the coast-
ing trade, by bringing down cargoes of grain from
Dantzie and Konigsberg, have received a full
pardon. Their persons are liberated, the fines re-
mitted, and the ships with their cargoes placed at
the free disposal of their respective owners.
