VENICE.

According to accounts from Vienna, published
by the Paris paper', the Emperor has decided on
giving to Venetia a constitution which will pre-
serve to that province its entire autonomy. The
government of the country will be left to the
Italians, and Venice will be the seat of it.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, WIDNEADAT EVILNING.

To-day the King sent his reply to the address of
the rust Chamber. In this reply his Majesty ex-
presses his thanks for the manifestations of deep
grief at the less of the late King, and for the de-
votion to his own person testified in the address of
the Chamber. The King then continues :
"I have openly and distinctly explained the
principles of my government on assuming the
Regency, and have stated what I wish to aecom-
plish. I will not break with the past, but I intend,
when my convictions urge it upon me, to
make improvements in the institutions of
the country as my father, of glorious memory,
did in 1808, and as my late brother
was also induced to do by the events in
his epoch. I have marked out before me the
limit to which I can go, and I will strictly follow
the course upon which I have decided. We must
not conceal from one another that we are, perhaps,
approaching troublous times. In view of this pro-
bability everything depends upon the country
being, through its representatives, united to me.
I hope, I desire, and I expect this. It is thus
only that we shall be strong, both in the interior
and abroad, and be able to await the future with
confidence."

BERLLN,WIDNILADAT EVECING.

In to-day's sitting of the Clamber of Deputies,
the proposed address in reply to the speech of the
King was read. The following is a summary :

"The Chamber has learnt with /satisfaction that
preparations are being made for the conclusion of a
commercial treaty between Franco and the Zoll-
verein, whereby, among other advantages, the
cheering prospect is opened of two great nations
finding a better opportunity to compote for the
prize in works of peace."
The address expresses a hope that, by the ener-
getic employment of all proper means, the govern-
ment may succeed in re-establishing the consti-
tutional state of things in Hesse Electorele. It
acknowledges it to be a national duty of Prussia to
bring about, in common with the other German
Federal States, a satisfactory solution of the ques-
tion of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, and
considers it certain that in case of Federal execu-
tion in Holstein the right of Germany iu reference
to Schleswig will be reserved.

We (Gali!tatani) learn that the Emperor has pur-
chased the property of Malinaison from Queen Christina,
sad some land near it, particularly what belongs to
M. Lierre. His Majesty's intention is said to ho to
unite these new purchases to the chestnut wood of
La Jonchire, above Bougival, where upwards of 200 work-
men are now employed in improvements. There was some
idea of buying Boispram, belonging to H. Rodrigues. In
