THE TYRQL.
Allharanperor Francis Joseph has addressed the
following manifesto to the Tyrolese :
To my faithful people of the Tyrol,—The unfortunate
events which have occurred in the North have rendered it
imperatively necessary that I Plana reinforce my army
of the North by a portion of my victorious troops of the
South. This step unfortunately increases the dangers
which threaten the frontiers of the Tyrol, that country
which is so dear to me, and now it is more than ever geom-
try that the whole male population, that all men capable
of bearing arms, should range themselves by the aide of my
brave army. I appeal to my faithful Tyrolese, at all times
so faithful, to defend with all their strength their native
I soil, and to rival my brave troops in devotion to the most
, sacred of causes, to God, to the Emperor, and to the
country. The grandchildren will be worthy of their fore-
fathers. The Emperor has unshaken confidence in you.

THE ARMISTICE.
FLORENCE, JULY 24.

The Official Gamete of to-day says :—" The pro-
posals of the Emperor Napoleon to the govern-
ments of Austria and Prussia have been accepted
by the courts of Berlin and Vienna as the bases of
an armistice. Prussia communicated to the Italian
government her acceptance of the proposals, this
acceptance having been given upon condition
of their receiving Italy's assent, in accordance
' with the mutual engagements entered into by
Prussia and Italy. In consequence of this
communication, Italy has declared her readi-
ness to consent to a suspension of hostili-
ties for eight days, on condition of reciprocal con-
duct on the part of Austria. During this period
the negotiations will be continued in order that an
armistice may be concluded of which the condi-
tions may be accepted as the preliminaries of an
honourable peace."

A letter feat Frankfort, in the Temps, says
Tea have dealidess heard that General de Falkenstein
has been named governor of Bohemia, and so be has left his
command here. The first act of his successor has bean to
visit the city with another war contribution. Gonad dn.
Falkenstein had taken 6,000,000 of florins, and his soccer
sor demands, in his turn, 25.000,000 (nearly 60,000,000 of
francs). That fermi a total d nosily 75,000,000 for a city
which has not 100,000 inhabitants. What a joyful
prospect for the future ! "Then is not such a sum in
the city," said the two senators who have accepted the
functions of civil commisnoners. " Oh! " replied the

general, " I do not hold absolutely to being paid in hard
cash. There are good signatures in Frankfort : I will take
bills." " Your axisallenoy, it is impossible !"—" Do sot
pronounce that word, for you will draw on your city the
horrors of pillage." This short but memorable conversa-
tion took place on the 20th of July, in the year of Grace
lOW The commissioners set to work. They bad a

meeting at the Chamber of Commerce of the principal
bankers, and submitted to them the new demands of the
Prussian occupation. A deputation, composed of MM.
de Rothschild, Grumplius, and de Neville, was sent to
General de Manteuffel. It obtained the same reply as
before :—" It must be paid, or woe be to you!" said the
general in dismissing them. " What matters it if they
call me a second Duke of Alva ?' A person kat 'dig
demanded of General de Manteuffel if, in case the city
should pay the demand, it would be safe from any further
requisition, "On my part, yes," he replied, "but I
make no engagement for my successor." When this com-
munication leaves no resolution has been come to.
