EXPLANATIONS OF THE MONITEUR.
(PEON ONE OWN CORBZBPONDENT.)
PARIS, VISIMISSDAT EVENING.
The evening Moniteur gives in small unobtrusive
print, as if conscious that it ill bears out the official
statement a few days ago that the negotiations for
the armistice were " progressing," the following
description of the situation to-day :
The German press watches with lively interest the
steps taken to bring diplomacy to bear on the present
difficulties, and its principal organs understand perfectly
the object of the French cabinet. But several journals
seem to think that in interposing its good offices it
sought to induce Italy to conclude a separate armistice.
and was preparing to play the part of an armed mediator
in Germany. This has not been the idea of the govern-
ment. It desired the re-establishment of a general peace
and consequently the only proposal which could be made
to Italy was that of an armistice in common with Prussia.
Nor could the government of his Majesty give the
character of an armed mediation to its aorta.
It has inteivoned diplomatically in hopes of con-
tributing to restore peace to Europa, and of employing its
influence to secure the general interests which are in quas-
i tion. These hopes are founded on the feelings of confi-
dence and friendship which unite it with the belligerent
I courts. It has had no wish to assume a menacing attitude
I towards any one of them, nor did inch seem necessary to
give weight to its recommendations, while they could only
have created new and more serious difficulties. Prussia,
before concluding the armistice, requires that Austria
should accept the preliminaries of a peace treaty. It is on
this point that the negotiations now in progress turn.
The Muniteur abstains from saying what is,
I however, not doubtful, that Austria, after a great
council of war, has positively refused the armistice,
and is resolved to fight to the utmost. M. Lefebvre
de Behaine,the firstsecretary of the French embassy
at Berlin, went to Vienna to entreat the Emperor
of Austria to consent to an armistice of only three
days, but was unsuccessful. What now becomes of
Prince Napoleon's mission) The Patric says :
If we are rightly informed, Prince Napoleon is charged,
on the assumption that Austria will accept the bases of
peace, to settle with Ring Victor Emmanuel the questions
relating to the armistice between the Italian and Austrian
armies and the cession of Venetia.
If his mission be, as seems indeed probable,
based on the assumption supposed, he may as well
be telegraphed for back again.
The Temps has reason to think that the assurance
of sympathetic and favourable dispositions on the
part of Russia was not without influence upon
Austria's final resolution.
The Emperor has paid a visit to Prince Christian
and the Princess Helena at the British embassy.
Count de Flahault, the Chancellor of the Legion
of Honour, has proposed to the Emperor the crea-
tion of a new order to be conferred exclusively upon
women as a recompense for striking acts of courage
and charity. It is to be called the " Order of
Eugdnie."
The Gazette Beige annouces the arrest and incar-
ceration, in the Petits Cannes Prison of Brussels,
of M. Pierre Vesinier, formerly secretary to Eugene
Sue, and who is accused of being the author of a
work called La Vie du Nouveau Cesar.
M. Emile de Girardin states, in the Libertd, that
the report published in the Gazette de France of a
speech delivered by Prince Napoleon at a dinner at
M. Girardin's several weeks ago is inaccurate, and
for this he vouches the evidence of the twenty-five
guests who met his imperial highness at table.
There were rather considerable fluctuations at
the Bourse ; but although a great battle, which
will decide the fate of Vienna, is considered immi-
nent, the belief that peace will not long be de-
layed afterwards buoyed up many speculators.
Bente, after having touched GBfr. 45c., and fallen
as low as 22}c., closed at 68fr. 30c. for cash, and
681 r. 35c. for account, with a rise of 30c. and 10c.

MANIFESTO OF THE NATIONAL VEHEIN.—Tho
National Gazette of Berlin publishes the text of a mani-
festo, which has just been issued by the National Verelo.
The manifesto says that the sacrifices which the present
terrible war is musing must not be made in rain, and that
the political powerlessness and minute territorial
divisions of Germany must cease. The inefficiency of
the federal military organisation has been made
evident to al. A federal constitution, excluding
Austria, and with Prussia at its heal, is the
only thing that can place Germany in a position which
will ensure respect and prevent fresh civil wars. Should
France actively interfere in the struggle, the whole of
Germany would unite in order to protect the inviolability
of German territory against French aggression. In con-
' elusion the address says that Prussia sad its government
have given proof of extraordinary military power, but
that they will have victories to gain as important as
those obtained in Bohemia, when they set about establish-
ing by pacific and constitutional mama a free, Wring, and
spited Gormany.
