TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

(azuna's TXIIGBAIS.)

THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION.
MARSEILLES, JULY 31.

Intelligence has been received here from Athens
dated 25th instant. The Athens journals publish
the following telegram, alleged to have been ad-
dressed to their governments by foreign consuls in
Candle :—" The Turks are massacring women and
children. The Turkish authorities are neither able
to subdue the insurrection nor to put a stop to
these massacres. Humanity demands the immediate
suspension of hostilities or the transferenw of the
Christians to Greece." The blockade-runner Ar-
eadion had undertaken her twentieth voyage. She
was bringing back to Greece 800 Cretan women
and children. The Greek government had called
out reserves. Several brigands had been killed.

FRANCE.
PARIS, JUT 31, EvENING.

The evening Muniteirr in its bulletin says :
" The Empress has returned from her excursion to
the Isle of Wight, where her Majesty received
from Queen Victoria the kindest and most affec-
tionate welcome. France and England have wit-
nessed with pleasure this fresh proof of the friend-
ship of these two sovereigns, whose lofty qualifica-
tions have inspired both nations with a lively feel-
ing of respectful sympathy."
The same journal says :—" The article in the
M 'tore of the 299th, upon the general political
situation, is considered in France and abroad as a
confirmation of the conciliatory ideas and moderate
views which guide the policy of the imperial go-
vernment, and regulate its relations with all other
powers. its language and its acts afford a valuable
guarantee for the peace of Europe. The good
sense of the public, reassured by so valuable a
declaration, knows how to estimate false rumours
and imaginary alarms."
The l'atrie of this evening, in an article entitled
" Who desires war I" says, " Neither France nor
Prussia desires war—it is only some few of the
papers in both countries which are trying to bring
it about" The article concludes as follows :
" France cannot go to war with Prussia excepting
in the events of aggression and a flagrant violation
of her rights, or she would sacrifice her generous
influence over democratic Europe. Prussia cannot
enter upon a war with I. rants: unless she
resolve to lose the fruits of fifty years' political
efforts and of three months of sanguinary vic-
tories. This is the stake which would be at issue
in a Franco-Prussian war."

The same journal says :—" It is believed that
the arrival of the Emperor Francis Joseph in Paris
will coincide with the visit of the Emperor Napo-
leon to the camp of Chalons, and that the two
sovereigns will return together from the camp to
Paris, where brilliant fetes will take place. After-
wards the Emperor Napoleon will go to Biarritz,
where not Count Bismarck, but Baron Beust, the
Austrian Premier, will also arrive on a week's

There has been a rumour on the Bourse that an
attack had been made by a body of Garibaldians
upon Viterbo. Up to the present, however, no
telegram has been received confirmatory of this
report. The Etendard of this evening publishes
intelligence from China, which states that the
French troops had occupied without resistance
three of the western provinces of Lower Cochin
China, capturing large quantities of munitions and
stores, and that the troops were favourably re-
ceived by the inhabitants.

PRUSSIA.
WIESBADEN, JOLT 31.
King William arrived here to-day and met with
an enthusiastic reception. In reply to an address)
presented to him by the burgomaster his Majesty
said :—" This is the first time that we meet under
the altered circumstances. The change has cer-
tainly been radical, and we observe it moat in this
your former duke's capital. It pained me to have
to act as 1 did, and the decision I came to cost me
a great amount of resolution, but history cannot
stand still—it must advance. The sentiments with
1 which you have addressed me I have heard fre-
quently uttered throughout the country, and I
hope that you have really expressed the feelings of
all good citizens. I also trust that these feelings
will become stronger and stronger ; my officials
shall act with that object in view. Thanks for
your good wishes."

BERLIN, JULY 31, EVENING.

The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette of this evening,
in an article criticising and replying to Baron
Dupin's speech in the French senate, says :—" We
should take no notice of it were it simply the ex-
pression of individual views, and nut rather that of
the feelings of a large proportion of the French
people. Moreover, Denmark might conclude
from it that a declaration of war by France
against Prussia was imminent, and in con-
sequence evade an equitable solution of the
Schleswig question. We reply therefore to
Baron Dupin, and at the same time to
the Danes, that Schleswig did not fall into the
hands of Germany and of Prussia through intrigue,
but as the result of a just war provoked by the
Estematic oppression of the German Duchies of the
Elbe. In the treaty of Prague Prussia entered into
Ilan engagement with Austria to cede the northern
districts of Schleswig to Denmark, in case the inha-
bitants of those districts should by • free vote',
express their wish for such cession. But
for all that Prussia will not hand back to
Danish arbitrariness and fanaticism Germans for
whose liberation German blood has flowed. No,
not even if in France such an unjust demand should
be raised. The Luxemburg question was more of
an international than a national character, but
Schleswig is a Prussian province, which cannot be
disposed of by a conference." The article of the
Cron Gazette concludes with an assurance that as
' Prussia has never interfered in the domestic affairs
of foreign nations, so also will she repel any foreign
intervention in her internal affairs. The
semi-official North German Gazette of this
evening repels the accusations of the
France against the Prussian press of writing in
terms of provocation. "We are ready and willing,"
I says the Gazette, " to use our best endeavours to
put an end to the state of hostility which exists
between the press of the two countries, whose go-
vernments are upon such a friendly footing."
Herr von Savigny has not, as reported by some
newspapers, retired from the public service. He
has only been unable to undertake the duties in
the Federal Council which were allotted to him on
account of a wide difference of opinion between
him and the other members of the council.
It is semi-officially stated that the conferences
between the government and the Hanoverian
notables afford hopes of a satisfactory result, as
concessions have been made by both parties. The
reply of the Prussian cabinet to the last
Danish note will be despatched shortly after Count
von Bismarck's return to the capital.

THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE.
BRUSSELS, JULY 31.
The Empress Charlotte, accompanied by the
Queen of the Belgians, arrived at six this evening
at Terreren, one of the royal castles in the environs
of Brussels. The King and the Count of Flanders
went to meet the Empress Charlotte on her arrival.
The journey was performed in the most satisfac-
tory manner.
