Oar correspondent writes is follows :
BERLIN, Nov. 19.
The ministerial organ, the Deutsche Wow,
memo at last to have discovered the importauos to
Prussia of the proposed military intervention by the
troops of the Bundestsg in Schleswig Holstein, moos,
in an article, in the evening edition, it declares that
no forcible decision can be permitted by Prussia
to take place in the duchies by the troops of the
Bundestag until the free conferences shall have
expressed their opinions on the German question,
and a peaceful settlement be at hand. It says
further, that Austrians can never march into
the duchies as troops of the Bundestag. The
mighty importance which this question really posers,
is increased by the fact that the Duke of Brunswick
has refused to permit the troops of the Bundestag to
yeas through his territories, and has applied to
Prussia for assistance in carrying out that refusal.
Prussia is boned to grant this assistance if it should
become necessary, both by the convention of the 26th
of May, which originated the Erfurt Union, and by
the separate military convention concluded with the
duke. The Schleswig-Holstein question thus be-
comes of greater momentary importance than the
intervention in Hesse Cassel, the tree conferences,
or any other question concerning which Prussia
and Austria are at variance. The Emperor of Rus-
sia, whose envoy in Frankfort, the Prince Gortsoha-
koff, procured the resolution of the 11th inst. for im-
mediate military intervention, is known to be urging
upon the Bendestag the necessity of carrying out
that resolution. The armistice between Austria and
Prussia, which appears to have been silently dr cided
upon, prevents the Bundestag from obeying the be-
hests of the Russian Czar, who will not be satisfied,
however, with a delay which may give to the Schiele-
wig-Holsteiners an opportunity of strengthening their
position.
The ministerial journals argue that the tree confer-
ences cannot be assented to unless in the form pro-
pored by Prussia, and in some neutral city, and
unless it be previously agreed to that Prussia and
Austria shall be placed on a footing of perfect
equality.
Dispatches have arrived from St. Petersburg,
which the Deutsche Reform Nays are not unfavourable
to Prussia.
The Exchange was agitated to-day by reports of a

change of ministry.
The Berlin .band Reform, of the 19th, states that
Baron Prokesch has declared the strong desire of his
government for peace, and intimated that Prince
tichwarzenberg is disposed to suspend its proceedings
in Hesse and Holstein until after the termination of
the free conferences; to admit the right of Prussia to
form alliances lees intimate than those of the union ;
and, farther, to keep the Diet in abeyance until the
reconstitution of the confederation.

ITALY.

TURIN, Nov. 17.
The Chamber of Deputies has validated the
election of M. Memel', ex.minieter. It then voted
the thirty articles of the law for the definitive consti-
tution of the Bank of Deposits and Loans.

LA PLATA.
The Constilittionnel (of Paris) has the following
on the affairs of La Plata :
Since the arrival of the Peony, which, as we have already
announeed, brought the government the new treaties COD-
eluded by Admiral Le Prides, with Generals Roses and
Olive, several journals have again discussed them. They
are, doubtless, like ourselves, ignorant of the precise tent of
the treaties. Nevertheless, we do not think we are wrong
in saying that if all the meditations demanded by the go-
yernmeat have not been obtained, those which have been
made render the acceptance and the ratification of these
treaties perfectly possible. In order to give more fore.
to their attacks, in the default of official documents,
some organs of the opposition press have published an
inexact text, taken from the journals of Monte Video, and
have grounded their remarks on erroneous information.
Public opinion should not allow itself to be led away by a
language dictated by passion, particularly on a question
which so nearly concerns our commercial interests. The
government has already sufficiently shown how jealous it is
on the point of national honour, for everyone to be per-
suaded that on this as well as on every other question it will
know bow to defend the dignity and the intents of the
country. Since the day that fresh political complications
arose on the banks of La Plata, the face of things has
completely changed; the French subjects who ware esta-
blished in the Uruguay, have crossed the river and removed
their establishments into the provisos of Buenos Ayres.
According to the most certain information the number
of those who are now in the Argentine confederation
amounts to nearly 26,000; on all the territory conquered by
Onbe, the French populetion ham attained the number of
more than 2,000. Then are, therefore, from 25,000 to
27,000 French subjebta living under the laws of Row and
of Oribs. At Montevideo the French population does not
exceed 2,500. To carry war into these countries would be
to condemn to certain destruction the numerous Frenchmen
established in the Argentine proviso:l or on the Oriental
territory subjected to Oribe. We are not of the number of
those who wish for peace at any pries, but when peace is
compatible with national honour, and its conclusion has for
object to MUT* tie existence of important material interests,
we shall always advise it.

DAMASCUS.—Au insurreoti on broke out at Da-
mascus on the same day as that of Aleppo, but was
put down by the troops. A battle was fought be-
tween the troops and the Emirs of Baalbee at the
defiles of Maloolah, near Damascus, in which the
Emirs were completely routed and aken prisoners.
They were walked through the streets of the city
with irons on their lege, in their shirts, and wit
brooms on their shoulders.
