PRUSSIA.

According to the Berlin journals, the opposition
against the financial measure* proposed by the Prus-
sian government begins to manifest itself also in the
municipal bodies, aa well u among the higher com-
mercial ranks in that capital. The projected tax on
house property particularly meets with general dis-
approbation, as it will only affect the landlords indi-
rectly, and fall with all its weight on the tenants.

PARIS, FRIDAT ETZPIIIIO.

A telegraphic despatch from Trieste, dated yester-
day, mentions a report that Lord de Redeliffe had
made overtures to the Turkish Minister of War for
permission to send English troops to India through
Egypt, and that the negotiation had failed. Both
the Parris and the Prase, admitting, however, that
the news requires confirmation, incline to infer from
it that Lord Palmereton had recourse to special
pleading, when ho said he "was not aware" that
any application on the subject had been made to the
" Pasha of Egypt." The Parris, moreover, sees in
the refusal a just revenge for the obstinate oppo-
sition of English statesmen to the piercing of the
Isthmus of Suez.

The above Triestc despatch pretends that M. de
Prokesch is gettiog up a collective demand by all
the great powers for the restitution of the Isle of
Perim. Is it for this that we have formed an
Austrian alliance?

Tho Bourse continues precisely in the same state.
The Rente fell sc. for cash, and closed at yesterday's
price, 66fr. 95c., for account, with scarcely any busi-
ness doing. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c. Quotations is
the railways were nearly nominal during the greater
part of the day, but owing to a comparatively smart
demand towards the close of business, most of the

Prince Napoleon, the day before yesterday, paid
a visit to Havre, to see his father, Prince Jerome.

Yesterday their imperial highnesses embarked on
board the Ariel steamer for Feeamp, and thence to
Dieppe, from which place Prince Napoleon returned
to Paris in the evening.

TEST INTELLIGENCE.

ALLEGED DIPLOMATIC NOTE FROM
TURKEY.

Intelligence from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette,
states that the Porte has despatched to its represen-
tatives abroad a statement relative to the Moldavian
elections. It replies to certain facts, of which the
French journals have complained, and seeks to
prove that they must be attributed to the peculiar
ergethation of the Principalities.
A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Gazette de
Jo Bourse, says:
The long malerence yeetteday between Count Buol, Sir
Hamilton Seymour, and Prince Callimaki, related solely to
the question of the Danubian Principalities. The change in
the Turkish ministry la simply a change of persons. Asli
Paths, ea the protocols of the conference of Paris will show,
4 a decided opponent of the union. This statement was mo-
alarmed at yesterday's conference.
The Nouvelle Gazette de Prose, of the 7th, says :
—" We do not know the exact instructions which
Pram* Russia, and Sardinia have sent to their
representatives at Constantinople; but we know
positively that they are not the same as those re-
ceived by the ambassador of France; and this is
natural. Franc* having taken a more active part,
is more annoyed than the other three powers by the
course adopted by the Porte."
We read, in the Gazette de Weser:—" The
Porte has, it is said, resolved to strengthen the
fortifications of Widdin, and to arm them afresh,
as was done in the winter and spring at Silistria
and ltoustchouk. Several engineers have arrived
on the spot to carry out the works after a plan
drawn up by Omer l'aeha. Strong ramparts are to
be erected on the side of the Danube. 200 guns,
dcatined for the fortress, will be brought to Widdin
, from Constantinople by the Austrian Navigation
: Company."

THE COALFTHIPPERS' ACT.

This morning mu printed the Report of the Se-
lect Committee appointed to inquire into the operation of the
Coalehipper( Act (14 and 15 V ict.), and into the state of the
trade and coalwhippers since the expiration of the said act.
The committee state that they "are of opinion, that the
present condition of the coalwhippera, es a class, is deserving
of consideration, and that the grievances alleged are in pert
euaceptible of remedy. In so far es their ecotplsinta alas
to en ineulliolemey of employment, sad a consequent demi •
non of wages, the committee consider their grievanes to be
beyond the province of legislation. They do not
concur in the expediency of reviving the set of 1843.
In so far as their complaint. refer to the hardship. under
which they suffer from contenting their engagements, or re-
ceiving their wages, in a public•heuse, a practice which ope-
rates 'Widely upon them, as involving a deduction from
their earning■ for drink, and which is morally infuriate, as
' enooereging habits of intoxication, the committee are of opi-
•ion that they are entitled to the consideration of parlia-
ment. Following, therefore, the avowed intentions 'of the
legislature, as shown in the Coslerhippere Act of 1803, and
subsequent acts; in the agreement of the 18th of June,
1866, between the Board of Trade and the ooalowners ; in
the principle of the Truck Act, the Merchant Shipping Act,
and in others, the committee recommend that any ship-
owner, masters of vessels, or publican, or their agents, con-
tracting or discharging their engagements with cadwhippers,
or paying wages to coslwhippers, in a public-house, shall
incur a penalty of in every Me proved. With this
view, they Nugget that each employer shall keep a Te-
ener of labour, in which, together with other
details, the time and place when each °eel-
whipper has been psid shall be duly attend, and which
shall be always open to the inspection of any officer deputed
by the Board of Trade, or by the magistrate of the district,
or by any person commisitioned by him." The report was
Inanimately adopted with the exception of one dimentient
(Lord Massie).

PARIS, MONDAT EYTNINO.
The Pays has received a letter from London,
dated yesterday, which states tl* according to a
wide-spread rumour the question of the Principali-
ties had entered into a new phase, and that, follow-
ing the precedent of the affair of Bolgrad, the ex-
isting differences will be submitted to the decision
of a congress. The same letter revives the report
that Lord do Bedell& is coming to England en

cove.
The Patric, defending the conduct of the French
ambassador at Constantinople, says it was impos-
sible for M. de Thouvenel to be satisfied with the
proposal of the Porte to send for the Caimacans to
give an account of their conduct; that would
have been to substitute a question of persons for
a question of fact ; and would have been as incon-
sistent with the position and rights of the ambas-
sador as with the dignity of the Porte. M. de
Thouvenel could not set himself up as a judge of the
conduct of the Caimaeans. The representative of
the French government had nothing whatever to do
with Prince Vogortdes or his agents. Acting upon
his knowledge of facts impossible to be contradicted,
he had protested against the mockery of an election
in Moldavia, but he could not possibly condescend

to act as a judge of instruction to interrogate a
Turkish functionary.

The Emperor end Empress are expected at Havre
st nine o'clock this evening. They will sleep on
board their yachts, and proceed to-morrow to Rouen,
where great preparations are making for their re-
ception. A ditaehment of twenty Cent Garde. has
arrived at Rouen, to escort their Majesties about the
town. It is expected that they will visit several of
the principal manufactories. They will arrive at

. .
St. Cloud to-morrow night.
The Bourse was exactly in the same state as on
Saturday. There was little business doing : the
fluctuations were not considerable, but the attempts
to bring down the Bente were firmly resisted. The
Three per Cents. closed at 66fr. 90c. and 67fr. 10c.,
being a fall of Bc. for cash, and Saturday's price for
account. Mobilier fell 2fr. 60c. The railways re-
mained almost stationary.
The annual distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne
took place to-day. The hall was, as usual, very
crowded. M. Rowland, the Minister of Public In-
'traction, presided. In his speech he referred to the
recent alterations in the university programme,
and said that although the government was
in favour of liberty of instruction, it did
not mean that the State should be an indifferent

spectator. It was by its alliance with the State
that the corps of public in.stractore would derive
additional strength, The reform of the Lyceums
had been misrepresented. Although the govern-
ment thought that a larger part should be given to
the sciences, it had never intended that the classios
should be neglected or put in the back ground.
On the contrary, they would continue to be an
object of great solicitude to the University.
