LATEST INTEIALILIENCIL

THE MEETING AT SALZBURG.
The late meeting at Salzburg suggests to the
France a long series of observations in favour of
peace, unless, indeed, Prussia should think fit to
cede to warlike ideas. Neither France nor Austria
has, it says, any intention of interfering with the
Confederation of the North, their object being
to accept, as hitherto, what has been accom-
plished in Germany. There is no eventuality of a
menacing character anywhere unless Prussia should
aim at still further enlarging a position which the
lucky chances of an unjust war had given it. If,
after having incorporated with herself the Northern
States, she should pretend to dominate Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, and Baden, then the gravest compli-
cations would, of necessity, arise.
The Press of Vienna traces in the following
terms the ride which Prussia ought to adopt in
order to assure peace in Europe :

As to that kingdom, we should profoundly deplore that,
in opposition to the tenor of the Tre►ty of Prague, she
should wish to extend the bonds of the Confederation
of Northern Germany to the States of the South.
We should see in it • menace for Austria so long as
Prima:6lnd not renounced her intimacy with Russia.
Surrounded on three sides by Russia and Prussia, and on
the south-east by the small Sclave states, worked by
Russian emissaries, that would be, we must avow, •
situation which Austria could not possibly support
any Icriger. Let Prussia redact, then ; let her
not push matters to extremities, and let her
await the future with moderation and tranquillity,
or, which would be better and more advantageous,
let her break with Russia, and let her join heart and soul
the civilised peoples of the West. Let Prussia think that
in letting go the hand of Russia she will, as far as diplo_
macy goes, entirely disarm Austria. For the latter does
not really wish to place herself at the head of the States
of Southern Germany, and there is entertained here es
well as in France • certain value for the sincere friendship
of Prussia.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.
PARIS, Avous2 27.

The Emperor Napoleon, during his journey to
Lille to be present at the fêtes to be held in that
city in commemoration of the 204th anniversary of
its annexation to France, passed through Arras
I yesterday. The following is his Majesty's reply to
an address from the mayor of that city :
"With pleasure I find myself once more among
you after so long a lapse of time. I have seized
with eagerness the occasion of a national fete to
come and acquaint myself with your desires, and
to assure you that my solicitude for all the interests
of the country shall never fail you. You are right
to have confidence in the future. It is only weak
governments who seek in foreign complications to
divert attention from troubles at home. But he who
derives his strength from the great body of the
nation has only to do his duty and to satisfy the
permanent interests of the country, and while hold-
ing aloft the national flag we should not allow our-
selves to be drawn away by intemperate impulses,
however patriotic they may be. I thank you for
the sentiments you have expressed towards the
Empress and our son. Be assured that they share
my devotion for France, and that their most
ardent wish is to put an end to all misery and
alleviate all misfortunes."

Despatches from Lille state that their Majesties
were received in that town with enthusiasm and
passed through the streets and boulevards in an
open carriage.

The following is the sense of his Majesty's reply
to the address of the Mayor of that town :
" It is now 14 years ago when, shortly after my
marriage and the commencement of my reign, I
was received here in a manner which will always
be remembered by me. I have constantly sought to
make France prosperous and respected. If there
have been some dark spots, France has neverthe-
less resumed her place in Europe. I hope to ob_
tain the co-operation of everyone in consolidating
the work begun."
