topol have produced a very good impression on

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ar-
rived here last evening at eight o'clock, and took

remain in Paris two days.

ing to the effect that the Frankfort. act, contrary
all exp,;Qtation, lices voted, tilt, id a
lcderal army of 250,000 men, anti that Prussia
voted with the majority. The great rise at the
Bourse, difficult to explain in the face of the

arf
threatening aspect of affairs, and theulni.billitl
crisis in England, lend a degree prow
this account. 000
