The Frame haa fished out of the Moniteur de la
Moselle the following paragraph :

A letter from &makTuia my; that people are more con-
fident than ever of the restoration to France of the local-
ties which helocied to her in 1814, and were extorted from
her by the treaties of 1815. _

These feelers may be, and as far as regards any
proximate action, I think they are mere vain
boasting designed to calm the irritation felt at
France having helped to destroy the treaties of
1815 for Prussia's benefit and not her own.

Emile de Girardin bluntly says, however, the
Emperor has lost the game by not resolutely taking 1
a side with either Austria or Prussia a month ago,
and that the only way now open to him to distin-
guish himself is to apply his whole mind to peaceful
acts, and set an example of disarmament.
It is thought M. Drouyn de Lhuys will follow
the Emperor to Vichy.
The news that Princess Clothilde, with her child-
ren, was going to Ferrara to join Prince Napoleon
and her father Victor Emmanuel is contradicted.
Prince Napoleon, whose mission, whatever it may
have been, is fulfilled, will return to Paris in a few
days.
The Epoque, in two snocessive articles, speaks
as a most important invention of a new lining for
soldiers' uniforms adopted by the French govern-
ment, which will render needle-guns in the hands
of an enemy harmless, since the protecting timue,
while light and comfortable to the wearer, is per-
fectly ball-proof. It has been suggested that the
material can only be canard's down.
Some time ago it was announced from authority
that the law against public meetings did not apply
to commercial people assembling together to con-
sult on their own interests. M. Candas, a Paris
notable, who is a candidate for the Tribunal of
Commerce, thought himself justified under this ex-
ception in calling a meeting of electors to consider
his claims ; but the Prefect of Police does not
construe the law in that way, and the meeting will

not take place.
M. G. Hachette, the editor of the Revue de I' In-
struction Pub Urine, has been convicted of the crime
of analysing some of the debates in the Senate and
Corps Legialatif, instead of publishing the inter- •
minable reports in extent°, which the judgment
gravely says is all the publicity the law allows ; he ;
is fined I,ooofr. If M. Thiess shall ever bring his
historical work down to the present day he will be
just as liable to fine and imprisonment for unau-
thorised parliamentary reporting, should he
state the substance of any important speech
(say, for instance, that of M. Jules Favre on Mexi-
can affairs), as the most pestilent journalist of the
hour. There is no statute of limitations in this
solemn matter; and the law which permits (subject,
of course, to liability to prosecution for excess)
even constitutional questions to be discussed in
books containing more than a certain number
of pages makes no such exception in favour of any
effort to condense the verbiage of the scores of bad
speakers in the Corps Legishitif, and to make the
proceedings of the legislature intelligible to the
general public. There is but one rule on this sub-
ject, applicable alike to the historian, the essayist,
the reviewer, and the daily scribe.
The election for a deputy for the Maine and Loire,
in the place of the late M. Bucher de Chauvigni,
begins to-day. M. de Fallout, the only opposition
candidate, has, I think, notwithstanding consider-
able local influence, no chance. The democratic
party, in whose eyes he is, perhaps, the most
unpopular man in France, will either abstain or
vote for the government candidate, M. Berger.
The return of the latter is certain.
Baron James de Rothschild is about to give a
theatrical entertainment at his Chateau de Fer-
rieres, for the purpose of bringing out a comedy,
written by himself, called Baron et Financier.

PARIS, JOLT 29.
The Constitutionnel of this morning contains an
article signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, in which it
states the following to be the beam of the arrange-
ment by which the armistice has been prolonged :
" The territorial integrity of Austria is to be main-
tained, excepting as far as regards Venetia. Saxony
is also to preserve her territorial integrity.
Austria accepts the formation of a confederation
of Northern Germany, under the exclusive direc_
tion of Prussia. The states of Southern Germany
will retain their separate international existence
and independence, and will be free to group them-
selves as they think proper. Austria will pay
Prussia an indemnity of 75 million francs." The
Constitutionne/ adds : " These conditions are equit-
able considering the state of things created by the
war. The territorial integrity of Austria, notwith-
standing the disastrous issue of the conflict, is an
important stipulation which must be applauded
by all enlightened and prudent minds, by all
who consider an advantage of the greatest
importance to be the maintenance of a great
moderating power in the centre of Europe. W
have reason to believe that M. Benedetti, French
ambassador at Berlin, who was present at Nikola-
burg, had instructions to insist likewise on the
territorial integrity of the kingdom of Saxony."
BERLIN, Jctr 28.
The Officio/ Gaunt of to-day says :—" The course
pursued by some patriotic German papers in agi-
tating in favour of extending the proposed Federal
organization to the states of Southern Germany
influences unfavourably the negotiations for peace.
The territorial unity of Northern and Middle Ger-
many, won by such arduous exertions, and which
remained unaccomplished in 1816, must first be
secured, and then steps be taken for found-
ing a Federal State, composed of allied
Northern and Middle Germany. The regu-
lation of the relations with the states south
of the Maine, with which Prussia is at war,
can be left without danger to a future time." The

THE PRUSSIANS IN FRANKFORT.
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, JULY 29.
The Frankfort deputation returned here last
night, having renounced its intention of proceed-
ing to the royal headquarters. Burgomaster Mul-
ler has been summoned to the Prussian head-
quarters. The compulsory billeting of Prussian
troops upon the principal inhabitants of the town
is being discontinued. The Frankfort Senate
