IMPORTANT DEMAND OF THE FRENCH
GOVERNMENT.

PARIS, THURSDAY:

The French cabinet has addressed a note to the
Prussian government, pointing out that the great
changes in the political organization of Germany
render it necessary that the French frontier should
be rectified by a cession of territory to France.
The French cabinet msie yesterday a further com-
munication to the cabinet of Berlin, demanding
the restoration of the French frontier as it existed
in 1814.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

PARIS. Atiourr 9.

The Moniteur du Soir says :—" The Italian
troops have withdrawn from the Tyrol across the
Tagliamento to the line of demarcation demanded
by Austria before negotiating an armistice. There
is reason to believe that the difficulties in the way
of an agreement have been removed, and that an
armistice may shortly be concluded."
The Empress of Mexico has arrived in Paris.
FLORENCE, AUGUST 9.

The Nazione of to-day announces that General
Cialdini, in order not to leave the front of his army
exposed on an indefensible line, has resolved to
take up a position on the other side of the Taglia-
mento. In consequence of this movement Commis-
sioner Sella will leave Udine, and will follow the
head-quarters of the army of operations.
VIENNA, AUGUST 9.

The Prase of to-day says :We learn that Gene-
ral La Marmora had demanded a prolongation of the
truce for several days. This demand was not as-
sented to by the Austrian commander, who would
only grant a further delay of twenty-four hours.
The truce will, therefore, expire on Saturday
next. .

Baron Hubner, the Austrian ambassador at
Rome, visited this city by order of his government,
not in consequence of the state of affairs abroad,
but with reference to home questions.
Count Arthur Skertosch, of General Rlapka's
staff, has fallen into the hands of the Austrians,
and letters of a compromising character were found
upon him. The Vienna papers state that the Prus-
sian General Mutius died from cholera.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Arcusr 9.

Baron von der Pfordten and Count Bray have
arrived here from Munich, and Herr von Freydorf
from Carlsruhe. The Prince and Princess Frederick
William of Hesse, while travelling to Berlin, re-
ceived a communication at Magdeburg, in conse-
quence of which they discontinued their journey.
The semi-official Norddeutache Allgemeine Zeitung
of to-day publishes an article in favour of leaving
intact—as far as is consistent with the general in_
tweets of the state—the vital institutions peculiar
to each of the countries which are to be incorpo-
rated with Prussia, especially their system of ad-
ministering justice, their provincial representation,
and the constitution and administration of their
communes. The Crown Prince has issued an
appeal urging the establishment of a general
national institution for invalided soldiers. His
royal highness, with the assent of the King, has
placed himself at the head of this undertaking.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, AUGUST 7.

The Turkish army of observation on the Danube
is being gradually removed. Routachouk and the
neighbouring places will shortly be occupied only
by the usual garrison. From this circumstance, and
the approaching departure of Prince Charles of
Hohenzollern for Constantinople, it is believed that
the formal recognition of the Prince by Turkey
will shortly take place.
A considerable number of Roumain soldiers have
been disbanded.
