A letter from Copenhagen of the ith says :

The King, who arrived in this city the day before yester-
day has just presided over a council of state summoned to
deliberate on the affairs of the Duchies and the conflict with
the Germanic Diet. It is affirmed by persons likely to be
well informed that the council is unanimously of opinion
that the government ought to maintain the propositions
which were communicated by Mr. Hall to Mr. Paget,
the British ministers, after the conferences they Lad on the
subject at the request of Lord John Russell? and that the
Ring himself thinks the same. Acooediog to those
'propositions the Danish government will consent
to the " consultative vote" which the States of
Holstein possess by letters patent of 23rd September,
185$, being changed into a " deliberative" one—
in other words, a law to possess force in Holstein must be
sanctioned by the States ; but this proposition is only made
as the express condition that the Dist at Frankfort shall
cense to menace Denmark with a " federal execution." It
is further proposed that the share of Holstein in the com-
mon expenses of the monarchy shall be fixed at 810,000
1 crowns, and that the consent of the States shall be required
for any expenses beyond that sum which circumstances may
I render necessary. As to Schleswizk, though it is regarded
as a purely Danish part of the monarchy, the government,
to show a conciliatory spirit., will consent to the rite of
confirmation being administered in Danish or German at
the choice of the officiating minister in the districts in
which the population are of both nationalities. Hereto-
fore this religious ceremony could only be performed in
Danish.

Tae FRINCH TREATY. —We have good reams to
believe (says the Manchester Examiner) that the time ad-
ginally flied for the French treaty ooming into full epees-
tion will be conniderably anticipated. From cirmanudamme
which have come to our knowledge, we consider it highly
probable that, within a few weeks hence, the Moniteur will
announce the Emperor's decision to give immediate effect to
the stipulatious of the treaty, and thereby obviate the in.
COTIVethiIICOI incident to any further suspense in the com-
mercial intercom's of the two countries.

Some of the Paris journals state that a deputa-
tion from South Carolina bee arri►ed in Paris, and obtained
an audience of M. Thonvenel, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
A letter from Berlin states that the severe cold
which prevailed during the funeral of the late king caused
inner among many of the persons who were present. More
than 200 of the soldiers who lined the streets were obliged
to go into hospit►l, snd some of them have since died. A
number of horses have also perished from the same cause.
Prince Sergins Troubetrkoi, the leader of the
cesspiracy discovered on the accession of the late Emperor
Nichols of Russia to the throne. hes recently died as
Moscow, where he had been residing for a short time past,
after thirty years' exile in Siberia.

" Thereis, throughout the Southern Statee,"
says a New York correspondent, "an unsettled, feverish,
suspicions feeling, that seta at defiance all the ordinary
rules of calculation aa well as the ordinary rules of law. It
has booms unsafe for a northern gentleman to travel there
even with his mouth shut. Some prying petty vigilance
°committee will catch • him nod insist upon his speaking.
The proprietors of the Herald sent a gentleman of their
staff into the interior of South Carolina to gather infor-
mation as to the state e feeling there. He was seised
while in the discharge of his duties by one of these self.
seated committees, and detained a day while they subjected
him to a searching croes.exarnimition. and read every scrap
of paper in his portmanteau. This is but one case of many
that have come to my knowledge. the arrests in some cases
being accompanied by acts of brutal violence and ferocity."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS•

true ova core OURESPONDEIT.I
PARIS, WEIINEEIDAT EVECetI.
The Melia!'Ur contains the folowing complaint
of false news relative to French armaments :
A journal speaks of the formation of a fourth regiment
of Grenadiers of the Guard ; this news is utterly untrue.
Another journal hnnounced a few days ago, in an article
which, it is true, it rectified the next day, that a certain
number of soldiens unfit for a campaign had been sent back
to the depAs of their corps, and that all mounted officers
had been ordered to provide themselves with horses by
Feb. lat latest. We take this opportunity to put the pub-
lic ou its beard against false news concerning the army, pro-
mated by journals calling themselves well informed.

This exquisite sensibility of the Monitcar would
be more reassuring if the official journal were not
exposed to the accusation that it strains at a goat
and swallows a camel. Simultaneously with this de-
nial of theformation of a fourth regiment of Guards
and the invaliding of some unspecified number
of men, there appears in the Mositest do r A ern&
an authentic account of a tremendous military
measure, which, however it may be explained or
glossed over, will, I am afraid, be considered in
foreign countries as threatening war. Hitherto it
has been usual only to call out half the number of
recruits annually voted, the remaining half being
only liable to serve in case of extraordinary need.
Blit the Motiitnir chi rA rift& of this morning pub-
lishes a circular from the Minister of War, giving
directions that, by the express command of the
Emperor, every man of the contingent voted is to
be called to arms at once, and assigned to a par-
ticular regiment. The recruits will then be
divided into two portions, the first of which will
serve regularly as heretofore, while the second will
be drilled during three months the first year, two
months the second, and one mouth the third, being
all the time equipped like the regular army, and
receiving the same pay. You will see that the
government journals will have the hardihood to re-
present this measure as one of economy !
Before the end of the week, perhaps to-morrow,
it is expected that the Onixrtibitiontiel is to bring
out a grand and very indignant article on
the subject of Syria, in reply to a despatch re-
minding France of her treaty obligations, which is
understood to have been received from London.
This article will, I dare say, be signed " Bouiface,"
but the rumour is that the writer is M. de la
Guerronniere. It is also said, on, 1 think, re-
liable authority, that the Coitatitutionnel has in-
structions to make another splash about a congress
and to disavow any attack by Italy upon Austria.
The journey of Prince Napoleon and the
Princess Clothilde to Italy continues to be talked
of, and it is said that they will start early in
February.

The continued silence of the Moniker with re-
spect to Gaeta is again observed upon by the
Prow, and the Pays, notwithstanding the general
tenor of the recent news, cannot bring itself to
say more than that the French fleet will " very
probably" leave on the 19th.
Notwithstanding a fall of if in Consols, the Bourse
opened with couaiderable firmness, and when the se-
cond telegram from London came with a reaction of
a, there was • very decided upward movement.
The Relate rose 45e. for cash, and 30c. for the ac-
count, closing at 67fr. 45c., and 67fr. 35c. Mobi-
lier, nearly recovering the heavy fall of yesterday,
rose 17fr. 50c. The Orleans Railway rose 15fr., and
most of the other lines from 2fr. 50c. to Mr. The
reasons alleged for the rise were the talk of a
congress, and a belief in the success of efforts
making to keep Garibaldi quiet.
Count Walewski, exercising the jurisdiction over
the theatres which he possesses as Minister of State,
has forced upon them a wholesome reform in the no-
menclature of their places. The first tier is now to
mean the first tier, and not as heretofore the
second or third, and so with regard to other places
which managers have been in the habit of iniade-
scribing to the confusion and vexation of the public,
who are induced to buy tickets by false pretences.
One of the immediate consequences of sending
so great a man as M. de Maupse to be pre-
fect of Marseilles, is a resolution to build
a new prefecture for him at the coat of seven
millions of franca. The present hotel, which he
finds not good enough, has been bought by the
municipality for 2,500,000 fr. The department of
the Bouchea-du-Rhone is to borrow the rest of the
money, 4,500,000 fr., from the Credit Foucier (an
institution supposed to be founded for the en-
couragement of agriculture), to be repaid in the
short space of 40 years.
It is reported that Mdlle. de Ochoa, the young
lady whose dress caught fire at Mdme. de Errazu's
ball on Saturday night, is going ou so favourably
that no doubt is entertained of her speedy re-
covery.

ITALY.

(ROY 013 Y OW7I

TURIN. Jaw, _l2.

Hassan Ali Khan, Ambassador Extraordinary
of the Shah of Persia, hex had an audience to-
day of King Victor Emmanuel. Ho brought
several handsome presents for the King, in
token of his sovereign's friendship, and
has made arrangements for treaties of com-
merce, and other friendly relations, between
the two monarchs. This incident, however, does
not attract much attention, occupied as we arc
with matters of greater moment. This morning a
despatch arrived at the Spanish Embassy an-
nouncing that the Spanish Ambassador at Gaeta
has sent off a courier with an answer to the de-
mand for an armistice, and other proposals
of a similar nature. The adoption :
Spanish government as an intermediary, instead of
the French, or English, or Russian, leaves us still
in suspense. However, we may be pretty sure that
the Spanish government, like that of Austria and
of Rome, wishes to gain time for Francis 11., put-
ting its trust meanwhile in some reactionary move-
ment, or some European complication.
You may possibly have heard of the present sent
by King Victor Emmanuel to Teresita, Garibaldi's
daughter, who is now residing with her father at
Caprera. It is a diamond necklace with earrings to
match, and was to have been preaeuted to Ler on New
Year's-day, hut that the stormy pea prevented its
being received in time. It is to be hoped that no
overstrained notions of abnegation may prevent the
hermit of Caprera from accepting a gift which ex-
presses the warm friendship the giver has fur
Garibaldi

Meanwhile the Muralists and the republicans
are straining every nerve to prevent a better under-
standing between Garibaldi and Count Cavour,
and are endeavouring by every means in their
power to render the new parliament impotent for
Italian unification. A violent journal has just
been started here under the title of Row and
Venetia. From its tone you would say that it wan
written by desperate fighting luau. But the truth
is that it is written by Signor Brofferio, a
voluble advocate. With him is associated the
advocate Guerrazzi, a man of a similar sort,
who has printed a ponderous volume, which
he calls his " Apology," and which merely
proves that he was always the advocate of the
Grand Duke of Tuscany. In spite of such advo-
cacy, aided by the clerical party, the good sense of
the public will preserve us from the catastrophe
which would overtake us if the forthcoming elec-
tions should return a majority tainted with these
unpatriotic sentiments. The government will have
no objection to see in parliament the best of Gari-

bagi's generals, such as Sirtori, Bi io, Medici, and
Cams, because it knows that they are honest men,
desirous of the glory of Italy, and not
mere self-seeking intriguers who would change
sides if they could gain anything by it. But the
government has no desire to see in parliament the
writers and declaimers of the new journal I have
mentioned ; or Signor Montanelli, who would give
Tuscany to Prince Napoleon ; or Signor Pianciani,
formerly aervant of Pope Gregory, and now playing
the republican ; or other men of similar views,
who in a few days would nullify all that has been
done for Italy, and set the whole of Europe
against us.
Certain journals have announced that General
Fanti has resigned the portfolio of minister of war.
This is not the case. General Fanti has been laid
up more than a week with bronchitis, but he has
still managed to transact important business. He
has given orders that the cadres be prepared for
twelve new regiments. He has also ordered that
the bersaylieri, which have now a single central
office—which is no longer sufficient, as the corps
has been trebled—shall in future be distributed in
legions of six battalions each, so as to be more
manageable.
The editor of the Siena, a journal in the pay of
Austria, has t diedat Trieste. He was a Brta-
cian, named Mazzoldi, who came to Piedmont in
1848, and in company with a certain Perego, now
compiler of the Giornale di Verona, a reactionary
journal, gave publicity to the views now advanced
by the advocate Brofferio.
