(ixorta's Tsunamis.)
FRANCE.

PARIS, JAL IS, Evwxa.

The Froure and Patric of this evening deny a
rumour current here of disturbances having broken
out in Spain.
The Pawnee also denies the rumour that a new
loan would shortly be issued, and the Temps asserts
that M. Rouher has assured several bankers that
the government has not the least intention of con-
tracting a loan.

The Etendarcl of this evening states that the
Sultan is disposed to accord the Cretans an auto-
nomous administration.

It is asserted that the Corps Legislatif will meet

ITALY.

FLORENCE, JAN. 23.

The Chamber of Deputies were engaged in
to-day's sitting in discussing petitions from several
communes in Sardinia, requesting that measures
should be adopted to alleviate the general distress
which at present prevails in the island. The
Minister of Public Works explained that the
government had already taken steps for that pur-
pose, and announced that orders had been given
for the execution of various public works in the
island.

Prince di Carignano arrived here yesterday, and
has since left for Naples.
The Opinione of this evening asserts that Count
Barrel, the Italian minister at Berlin, will be
transferred to Vienna.

The Senate continues its sittings as a high court
of justice, with closed doors, to consider the
evidence against Admiral Persano.

To-day the public prosecutor read the charges
against the accused.

HUNGARY.

VIENNA, JAL V.

Count Andrassy has declared himself willing to
undertake the formation of a Hungarian ministry.
Hisprogramme is identical with that embodied in
the propositions made by the committee of fifteen
relative to the future relations between Austria
and Hungary, with the additional demand that the
Imperial Patent upon the re-organisation of the
army be withdrawn. It appears that the Austrian
government will make its definitive resolution de-
pendent upon the vote of the committee of 67, but it
is considered probable that the wishes of Hungary
will be acceded to.

THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 22.

The Talia and nisi Bari, of the Turkish navy,
have just taken to the Pirteus 440 Creek volun-

necessity of quitting Candia.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Jas. 23, Evrinco.

The King is unwelL His Majesty did not re-
ceive to-day any of the usual daily ministerial
reports.

The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of this
evening says :—" The introduction into the North
German Confederation of the principle of general
liability to military service will render possible a
considerable reduction of the forces of the Confe-
deration in time of peace. Every citizen will have
completed his term of military service at the age
of 32."
The semi-official North German Gazette of this
evening referring to Prince von Hobenlohe's
declaration in the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies,
on the 19th inst., says:—" The division of Ger-
many by the line of the Maine, alleged by Prince
von Hohenlohe to be recognised by Prussia, is a pure
fiction. If the South-German States are willing to
voluntarily renounces portion of their sovereignty
in favour of a closer union with North Germany,
Article 4 of the Treaty of Prague does not prevent
them from so doing."

THE NORTH GERMAN CONFEDERATION.

BERLIN, JAN. 23.

The plenipotentiaries of the North German
States, at the conferences which aro being held
here, signed the Federal treaty the day before
