THE MEETING AT TCEPLITZ.

The Courricr dm DisitancAe publishes a .corres-
pondenee from Dresden professing to give some
details of the Ciliate and character of the interview
of Tieplits. It results from this letter, to which
considerable importance is attached in Paris, that
the Prince Regent of Prussia thought fit to inform
the Emperor of Austria, whose absence
from the meeting at Baden Baden is alleged
to have ben altogether " fortuitous," not
only of what pealed between him and the other
members of the Germanic Confederation, but also,
and more especially, of the tenor of his conversation
with Napoleon 111. This information was, more-
over, conveyed iu an autograph letter. The
goes on to say that the Emperor Francis
Joseph, being touched by this spontaneous
step of the Prince Regent, which responded
to certain overtures previously made by the ca-
binet of Berlin, lost no tier! iu replying, and that
his answer has an importance beyond that of ordi-
nary autograph letters exchanged between sove-
reigns. Francis Joseph is said to have declared in
the most emphatic manner that lie regarded the
meeting between the two sovereigns as a bene-
fit not only for Germany but for Europe.
The Prince Regent replied at once that
the meeting would give him pleasure." Although
little is known of what passed between the two
sovereigns, this much may be confidently stated
that a convention between the Cabinets of Vienna
and Berlin, which has been long hatching, was
irrevocably agreed upon. The clauses of this con-
vention are yet unknown, and all the details given
in certain journals must be regarded as unfounded.
Thu convention was not signed by the Emperor and
the Prince Regent, but was left to be settled with
as little delay as possible, by their respective
ministers.

BERLIN, Jutx 29.
The official Prussian Gazette contains a leading
article, of which the following is a summary :
" The hopes which had been entertained in re-
ference to the meeting of the two sovereigns at
Toeplitz have not been disappointed. The approach
to a better understanding between the two cabinets
Ins been promoted by this meeting in the manner
to Ins desired.

" The frank and friendly meeting of the two
princes and their principal advisets and the
mutual exchange of their views have brought
the relative pusitiumi of the two states into a

clearer light. A mutual understanding on the
most important questions of European policy has
also been found to exist. It therefore became pos-
sible to arrive at the conditions of a sincere union.
In this union Germany will find fresh guarantees
for her security, and may hope that in future the
importance of her interests will lay heavier in the
balance of power in Europe.
"Europe will by the Toeplitz meeting obtain fresh
guarantees for the maintenance of public peace and
for the respect of the equilibrium."
The article then points out what connexion
exists between the new path Austria has taken in
reference to her interior policy and her approach to
Prussia. The article thus continues :
"There is no doubt but that Austria will con-
tinue in the path upon which she has entered, and
that she is resolved upon following her new policy,
not only as regards religious questions, but also in
reference to the different nationalities of the em-
pire. Thus Austria will obtain a position which
will increase her strength at home and abroad."
The article concludes by refuting the opinion of
those who expect from the meeting at Toeplitz a
change in the interior policy of Prussia, and shows
such a change to be impassible from the known
policy and character of both the Prince Regent and
his ministers.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(IRON OUR OWN CORRNAPONDIINT.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The deliberate and reiterated misrepresentation
of the government press that Turkey had "acqui-
esced" in the French scheme of intervention now
stands confessed. The Presse, which yesterday and
the day before (being no doubt misled by affirma-
tive statements from the police) gave the " acqui-
escence " in the striking form of a P. 8., is now
reduced to say that the conference of the ambassa-
dors has " as yet led to no decision," and that the
objections raised by the Turkish ambassador are
not unconnected with this (non) " result," " for
they provoked, a discussion which certainly was
not of a nature to reconcile the different points of
view in which the representatives of the powers
have necessarily placed themselves. It is from
this conflict of ideas and observations that
a common accord must be extracted, and
it is no doubt with this object that the
Turkish ambassador has thought fit to ask for
fresh instructions, and that several of his col-
leagues have also felt it necessary to refer to their
governments. It is, nevertheless, announced that
the convention may perhaps be signed on Tuesday
next." The Pays and the Patrie discreetly abstain
from the publication of their usual "Latest News."
I have reason to know that the Turkish government
—so far from having acquiesced in what is *eked—
has, only within the last few hours, consented to
negotiate on the question whether any and
what convention shall be entered iuto. Mean-
while, although the fairest promises are made and
the mold moderate language is used by the French
negotiators in order to gain their point, the entou-
rage of the Tuileries boasts in private conversation
that the intervention shall take place gonna mime,
and that the "Eastern Question," in the largest
sense, shall now be propounded.
The Mositeur contains a decree augmenting the
number of staff-officers from 560 to 580, alleging as
a reason that the present corps is insufficient even
in time of peace for the necessities of the service,
"occasioned by the augmentation of the army and
the increase of French territory."

The publication of M. Horn's new pamphlet,
" Libertel et Nationalitis," the proof sheets of which
are said to have been revised. by Kossuth, is post-
poned till to-morrow. The moral appears in the
opening lines :—" Austria believes herself to be on
the eve of a fresh national insurrection. She is
right." The author proceeds to argue that the
court of Vienna can only govern the various races
submitted to its rule by force and violence, and
that the Hungarians, driven to desperation, are de-
termined to reconquer their ancient liberties.
M. A. Lauvray, for many years the writer of

cider against immoral psi/Woes. I have no data
upon which to express au opinion upon this gentle-
man's qualifications for his very delicate
office. He ought above all things to be, and
nu doubt he is iucorruptible, for the amount
of property invested in trivial novels of thaidemily
low moral purpose which are published in news-
papers is immense. Many Cana might be mentioned
iu which the new censor's verdict would be worth a
very large sum of money. Some very extraorilivary
theories about time trite nature of his mission are
afloat. The difficulty of drawing any tangible
line in a moral point of view, between
many works considered classic in France and the
class of light literature intended to be suppressed,
is so great that the partisans of government inter-
' fereueu are reduced to say that the talent of the
authors is to be the criterion. Genius may have
the privilege of being indecent, but all servile imi-
tators are to be crushed. A pretty field is here
opened for favouritism and monopoly ; but virtue
is likely to go to the wall.

TURLti JULY

After the official reception given to Mauna and
Winapeare, the Neapolitan envoys, by the Kii44,
they were again received twice by Count Cavoar.
But whatever the courtesy displayed by the taii
parties towards each other in these converaatioh.,
which have now assumed an official character, it i;
still impossible to conclude anything. The tso
battles fought near Helen() have rendered net:o-
tiations, if possible, still more difficult. In
the meantime, au endeavour is being made t.,
circumvent public opinion at Naples and in fun
countries by a double game. At Naples they
present the alliance to be certain ; the King's par-
tisans go about telling everyone that his env..vs
had been most graciously received by Cavour,
that Victor Emmanuel had returned from hunting
expressly to receive them. At the same time iit her
partisans of the same monarch complain :C.r..adi
that the Sardinian government is doing all it can
to throw the proposed alliance overt, at I,
that it does not wish to check the progre,s
of the revolution, but that it rather favour, it.
The head of the Neapolitan ministry, De 31artilio,
has invited K Bovet, a Frenchman, the correspon-
dent of the Journal des Debuts, to leave Turni sit i
come to Naples. He intends to confide to him the
task of defending the new policy of Francis 11. in
the French journals. At the same time great iiiiers
have been made to those emigrants that have re-
turned home to induce them to give him their
assistau?e for the proper performance of this new
Bourbouic comedy. But the greater part of them
have already suffered too deeply to believe any pro-
mises now made by a Bourbon king, and they will
certainly turn a deaf ear to the charmer.
Two of our men-of-war, the Malfatauo and the
Euridice, have left for the East on account ni the
serious events that have occurred in Syria. We
have many Italians residing iu that part of the
world, Ligurian especially, and they have
de-
manded protection. It will please us much to have
the Englnsli flag so near our own.
Talkmg of ships, we received the news only a
few hours ago, that the Torino, which left (4.11. ht
with 1,500 volunteers on board, had arrived saidy
at Palermo, after a passage of only two days and
Revell hours. _ _

Signor Canofari, the resident minister of Naples
here, is preparing to take his departure, and is
already in treaty for the sub-letting of his suits
of apartments. His departure has no diplomatic
significance whatever, unless it be his prom.ithin
to a higher post, for he has faithfully servol his
government, without compromising it by an ems
of zeal.

Some journals have giveu out that Russia was
going to send to Turin an ambassador extro
ordinary, whose duty it would be to communi-
cate special matters to our government omeerning
the present affairw of Italy and of the East. Ti,d
Count of Stackelbcrg remains absent upon leave,
and the post he has vacated is not tilled up. The
business of the embassy is carried on by secretaries,
but no special envoy has or will come. There is
some appearance of affectation on the part of Russia
in this neglect, it being only too well-known that
she has a great predilection for the Bourbons
Naples, as she has by the bye for the Bourbons in
general, considering them to represent best,
the principle of legitimacy, and to be the mot
consistent opposers of revolution. But on the
other hand, Russia does not wish to constitute
lit-
self too openly the defender of the Neapolitan
King, now that he has committed so great a breach
of decorum by granting a constitution to undis-
ciplined crowds. There was a time when Russia
bestowed her friendship similarly on Sardinia, but
the late Emperor Nicholas withdrew his protection
from Charles Albert the instant that sovereign
bestowed a constitution on his people. Russian
autocrats never can, and never will, love coustitu.
Ronal governments.

(FROM ANOTHER CORRLISPONDER .)

Ttall N. JULY 25.

The Neapolitan ministers were to-day reccivol
by the King, and remained in the palace for about
all hour. It seems, therefore, that it was more
than a formal reception, and that the question
the alliance was brought forward by the tunbasm.
dors. Count Cavour stands in regard to this mat-
ter in a very difficult position. All the ilipbs
macy of Europe--that is to say, England, France,
Prussia, and Russitt—tteriously insist upon its ac-
ceptance, as the only means of consolidating Italy
and putting a stop to the revolutionary movenicet,
which, victorious in Sicily, alight, if Naples to
should undergo its influence, be powerful
enough to be alarming. On the other hand. an
the nation is averse to such an alliance, which 3:
once puts an extinguisher upon the brightest holes
of national unity, now, according to pnbli.: te.
'don within the reach of Sardinia. Besides, d
Garibaldi refuses to submit to the instructions aid
orders from Turin, Victor Emmanuel has no other
alternative than either to (miler his army to Sicily
for coercing the gallant Dictator, or to allow Fralka
to do it. In one ease, as well as in the other, lac
loses his prestige, and revolution and civil war iu
Italy become inevitable. Ou the other stile, it 5,4
morally impossible to refuse seeing the Neapelitiu
ambassadors, who came to offer an allimue
under any condition. Carl/Ilea only poli,)
is therefore to delay the negotiations, shim. tie
logic of events drives Naples into a revolutiow.,
soon as Garibaldi appears on the coast of ton
gala. It is said that his propositions are such
to make their rejection most probable, viz., an er•
change of the garrisons, forty thousand Pieilmite
two troops to be stationed in the kingdom of Nittilts
and about an equal number of Neapolitans to le
sent to Upper Italy and to the _Emilia ; again all
auxiliary army of 50,000 men in eases of a war wuli
Austria, and the full indtleutleuce and transfer
Sicily to the kingdom of Victor Emmanuel. Still
if the King of Naples should accept even this.•
humiliating conditions, what next I The court lie:
neither the power to make such an alliance
able to the station, nor the menus to Gale
to become a party to any agteement with N.:1,1-.
In the meantime, the emit:dittoes to Sicily take
their regular course. Last week Colonel B:weld.. f

irritated by the cold reception he met from

h.el to change his cal.inet three times, and to devote
t tone to ministerial crises when he was eager to
t Lis new army in fighting order. Tired out by
all these intrigues, be invited La Farina to leave
Sicily, and when he refused to comply with the
lb% itatiou ordered him to do so, giving him but
three bourn for hi. preparation. La Farina,
fiiriiiiis about this affront, and in the belief
tint he would be backed by Count Cavour, rushed
at once into print at Turin, describing the
state of Sicily in the darkest colours, spoke about
titian:llv, enemies of law and onler, Mazzituaniam,
and smLvetldVe tendencies ; but his friends, whose
advice to keep quiet he had rejected, kit him to

Lady VOLSCI him ri.liculoun. Garibaldi, on the
other hand, to have his loyal intentions
known to themilkeTng, sent his aide-de-camp, the

adi iiiguislaid member of the opposition, to Sicily,
take care of the administration. Depretis,

structions P of the reshlent of the Council, and pro-
mised to do his best for the SO much ueeded hearty
.a Iteration of theglar government at Turin, mid
the somewhat irregular one at Palermo. Unfortu-
nately, the ship on which Depritis had embarked
was .lania;,..l during the passage and had to return
to Porto Ferrejo; thus Iris arrival was delayed, and
we have no news as yet about his interview with (lari-
habil. The opposition papers mentioned lately that
La Farina is probably won to be comforted in his
distreaa by a seat in the cabinet, but though he
might formerly have liail such aspirations, his last
failure ought to have completely crushed his hopes.

The hill in this case was filed for the purpose of obtaining
the benefit of the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act,
fittif, limiting the liability of ship-owners in respect of
collisions. tin the 11th September, ltin, a collision took
place it! Dungeness between the William Hutt, a
screw steamer belonging to the plaintiffs, and
the Sophie, • Dutch screw steamer. The Sophie
foundered, awl was totally lost. Proeeedin, had
been taken by the owners of the Sophie against the 'otitis
io the Admiralty ('oust, and the plaiutiffs had con-
demned iu damages sad costa. Ao appeal from the judg-
ment of the Court of Admiralty was presented by the plaiu-
tiffs, but di-missed with costa by the Privy Council. The
peewit bill was thereupon filed by the plaintiffsto havetheir
Wibility in respect of the collision ascertained sad limited by
this court under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act ea
of ls.i-4. The argumenta turned upon the question whether le
the provision of the Merchant Shipping Act, 11454, under
which the present bill was bled, were applicable ig
to a case where one of the ships was a foreign
ship; owned by foreigners, and the all of the 1
court was invoked by the owner of • British ship as against lid
the claims of foreigners who were suing him in the English n
Court .1 Admiralty. Some question also arose upon the rt.
evilince as to whether the collision took place within three gt,
miles Isom the coast—the limits of the l uited Kingdom as nt;
opposed to the high eras, 14.
Mr. W. M. Janie., Sir H. ('earns, Mr. Mellor, Mr. Martin, 10
sad Mr. Morally were for the parties. le
The Vice-Chancellor said the question was whether or '
not that clause of the Merchant Shippiibi %et which pro- 10.

of the Admiralty Court went epee that assumption. No t,

of the act of parliament. The case of " Cope v. Doherty," Ist

upon which the present cuss must be determinist was sue
that laid down in the ease of the Zullverein by Dr. 110
Lushington, who very clearly and succinctly stated the law.

arose. More cases had been cited before Dr. Lushington,
