THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION.

PARIS, APRIL 14, Evonsa.

The France of this evening says :—"We have
reason to believe that before many days the govern-
ment will take the initiative in communicating to the
Chambers the result of the negotiations which have
been entered upon in the question of Luxemburg."
The same journal says :—" The chief signatory
Powers of the treaties of 1839 are adopting a course
which is dictated by a aincere desire for conciliation,
and in so doing they have met with that spirit of
moderation which characterises the French policy.
Count Bismarck appears animated by pacific inten-
tions, and the modification which has latterly been
observable in the polemical articles of the Berlin
s preen en the subject of Luxemburg is believed to
be due to his personal influence." The Coustits-
i
Bonn./ of this evening states that there has been
no question whatever of the despatch of an ulti-
matunt to Prussia.

Army Corps.

BAVARIA.

MUNICH, APRIL 13.

Yesterday Prince von Mohanlohe prefaced
his speech, in reply to the address of the
Chamber of Deputies on the subject of Luxem-
burg, with the declaration that he received the
address with joy as a proof that in questions which
affect the honour of Germany there is but one party
in the Diet and in the country ; and also as a proof
that for the preservation of the national honour
the Diet and the country are ready to make any
sacrifice. The minister also characterised the views
embodied in the address as a faithful exposition of
the duties imposed upon Bavaria by her treaty of
alliance with the rest of Germany.

MUNICH, Apßn. 14.

A popular meeting has been held here, at which
resolutions were adopted expressing the strongest
approval of the recent patriotic address of the
Bavarian Chamber of Deputies on the subject of
Luxemburg. The resolutions declare that in the
address of the deputies the meeting rejoiced to
find that the treaty of alliance concluded with
North Germany, on the 22nd August last, is recog-
nised as the first step towards the national unity of
theentire fatherland ; at the same time they consider
that it is the first and most pressing duty of the
Bavarian government to adopt every means for the
material completion, as speedily as possible, of the
Federal and national bond connecting Bavaria with
North Germany.

PARIS. SUPDLT Evans.

The interdiction of the sale of the Liberte in the
streets not having diminished its circulation, but
merely driven the public to buy it in the offices or
in the many licensed booksellers' shops, the follow-
ing very remarkable petition has been presented
to the emperor by the bureau of the benefit society
of the Paris newsvenders :

Paris, April 10.

Sire,—.-The undersigned newsvendere respectfully take
the liberty to inform your Majesty that the decree by
which the Minister of the Interior has prohibited the sale
of the Liberto in the streets, far from having attained the
object desired by the administration, which was to make
that journal less read, has on the contrary only had
the effect of exciting the curiosity of the public. The
undersigned are seriously injured by the measure;
their clients leave them to go to the book shops
in all quarters of the capital where the Liberti is sold, and
these they buy not only the Liberte but the other papers
which they are in the habit of reading. In reality, there-
fore, the decree of the Minister of the Interior operates as
a penalty, not against the Libel*, but against the news.
vendors dray authorised to keep newspaper stalls in the
streets. They are convinced that this cannot have been
intended. They therefore humbly pray your Majesty to
take into your gracious consideration that the tendency of
this measure is to ruin them and their families, for the
benefit of the booksellers, who are for the most part above
want. Knowing the interest your Majesty takes in the
condition of the working classes, they hope this simple
statement of facts will induce your Majesty to take their
grievances into consideration, and to allow them to sell
the Literte as well as the librarians. They have the
honour, arc. (Signed) The President HOUDIN.
(Hells follow the signatures of the other members of the
bure►u.)

The Emperor immediately sent this petition to
the Minister of the Interior for consideration. The
Marquis de Lavalette must find it a very consider-
able bore.

M. de Girardin's trial is fixed for Wednesday
next.

M. Glais-Bizoin, the deputy, has addressed the
following letter to the editor of the Anenir
Xatiossal :

" La tyrannie retrempe les hommes."
" Idees Napoleonieoncs," Vol. 1, p. 376.
My dear M. Pcyrat -I am confident that the arbitrary
act which interdicts the sale of the Arrow National in the
streets will only augment the' number of your subscribers
and readers. Pray put down my dame as a subscriber.

The Franc treats the rumour of a coup d'etat,
the suspension of the Chambers, and the with-
drawal of the liberal measures of January 19 as a
calumnious invention of the Times. Your contem-
porary may be honourably acquitted of any inven-
tion in the matter. Rumours to that effect
have been and are circulating here, and the
encouragement given to the Arcadian Ma-
melukes, such as Baron Jerome David and
M. Mathieu, tends but too much to lend
probability to them. The government seems to be
drifting without a compass, and changes its direc-
tion hourly. The Patric affirms to-night that the
bills on the press and the right of public meeting
are " not to be withdrawn," and that whatever
changes may be made will not be a departure from
the liberal spirit which presided at their initiative.
bet tts hope this may be true ; but the times
are so out of joint that one can be confident of
nothing.
The France pretends to know that the govern-
ment will very soon communicate to the chambers
the result of the negotiations about Luxemburg.
At the same time the Palrie is instructed to deny
that any " notes" or " circulars" have been sent
by the French government in relation to Luxem-
burg. How, then, have the " negotiations" been
conducted, which, according to the France are
already ripe for disclosure ? All these flying
rumours, whatever semi-official garb they may
assume, are thoroughly unreliable.
The Belgian General Chazal, whose military
tour in Germany has given rise to alarming sur-
mises, has been requested by the Prussian govern-
ment not to come to Berlin, in order not to
countenance the supposition that an alliance was
brewing between Prussia and Belgium.
The last bulletin of the young Baron de Bud-
berg is thus worded :
