THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION.

PARIS, Antic 5.

The bureaux of the Senate have sanctioned two
demands for leave to question the government on
the subject of Luxemburg, but the members who
proposed to make these interpellations have since
renounced their intention, in order not to impede
the diplomatic action of the government. The
France of this evening says :—" We have reason to
believe that the Luxemburg question will not be
considered by the signataries of the treaty
of 1839 at a conference, but simply by
means of diplomatic notes. The two propo-
sitions to be discussed are said to be: Has
the King of Holland the right to cede Luxemburg?
and, Is Prussia justified, after her recent aggran-
disement, in continuing to occupy Luxemburg ? It
is said that the government has expressed a desire
that no interpellations on the subject of the Grand
Duchy should be sanctioned for the present." The
Prase of this evening publishes the text of an
address presented by the inhabitants of Luxem-
burg to the King of Holland, soliciting annexation
to France.

BERLIN, APRIL 9.

The semi-official North German Gazette of this
evening says "Itisto be hoped that the words
of the Marquis do Moustier, in yesterday's sitting
of the French Legislative Chamber, will exercise
• tranquillizing effect upon public opinion in
France. No one in Germany wishes for war, and
in France only those can desire it who speculate
upon a general misfortune, and who would jeo-
pardize the results of the labours of the French
nation, and of the empire for the last sixteen
years, in order that their interests might have a
chance of success." The same journal maintains
that up to the present there has been no serious
argument brought forward in favour of the neces-
sity of the possession of Luxemburg by France. It
cites an article of the France in which the words of
the Emperor Napoleon are quoted, that " Europe
is not tranquil when France is dissatisfied," and
considers that the France renders the Imperial
policy a bad service in applying those words to the
present case, or even to the foreign policy of the
French government generally.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 9.

The Prsas of to-day contains an article recom-
mending Austria, in the event of war breaking
out, to adopt a policy of the strictest reserve.

PROSECUTION OF LA LIBERTE.
PARIS, Aram 9.

columns yesterday evening.

TEE SPECIAL COMMISSION IN DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, TVESDAT NIGHT.

True bine for high treason were found to-day
against John M'Oafferty, Thomas Burke, Edward Duffy,
John Flood, and fourteen other prisoners. They will be
arraigned to-morrow. The attendance of juries has been
dispensed with until the 21th inst.

A man named John Kirwan, an alleged Fenian centre,
was arrested by Inspector Armstrong in a house in Bishop-
street, Dublin, on Friday. It is stated that the prisoner
took a conspicuous part in the Fenian movement from the
commencement, and had long escaped the vigilance of the
police. It is also stated that he was present at the affair
rn Talbight on Shrove Tuesday night, and this opinion
appears to be strengthened by the fact that he has re-
ceived a wound from a rifle bullet in the back, which has
rendered it necessary that he should be placed under medi-
cal treatment. He is not sufficiently restored to admit of
his being taken before the magistrates for identification.
