LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1864

Upon this day pre-arranged before the holidays
fur the resumption of the business of the session
by Parliament it will certainly be allowed that
there is no lack of interesting and, some of it,
very important intelligence.

From the seat of war in North America the Aus-
tralian brings us tidings that General LEE has
broken up his encampment on the Rapidan, and
that he is said to be moving on the Shenandoah
Valley with a view apparently to an early attack on
the army of the Potomac.
From the seat of war in the north of Europe
comes, via Hamburg, the intimation that the Austro-

Prussian troops, in lieu of continuing their direct as

sault upon D tippel, now propose turning the Danish
position there, or at any rate attempting to turn it,
by crossing over to the island of Alsen by means of
Austrian pontoons, everything already, it is said,
being fully prepired for that same formidable move.
ment.

From Paris we learn simultaneously, in re The
Conference, that—according to M. PAUL LIMAYRAC
speaking through the columns of the Consti tutionnel,
and seemingly with an air of confidence so impres.
sive as to indicate the announcement as having been,
if not directly authorised by the Imperial Govern.
tilr.nt, at the very least what is called by our neigh-
bours "semi-officially inspired"—we learn thus from
the French capital, in re The Conference, that the
Government of his MAJESTY seriously proposes to
suggest at the council-board of Europe the solu-
tion.of the Danish Problem by an appeal to Universal
Suffrage in the disputed Duchies, to wit in Schleswig
a'ad in Holstein I An announcement so strange of its
kind that the mere fact of its publication in the Con-
stilutionnet appears of itself to have caused—and no
wonder—a snsation among the Parisians.
Simultaneously with these remarkable fragments
of information coming to us from such wholly diffe-
rent points of tho compass, there are others drop-

ping in upon U 3 at the same moment from other

dtrections altcgether'; fragments of intelligence there
ladt only second in importance to those already
enumerated. A few of the more remarkable it may
be worth while jotting down, here, in a rapid
'catalogue.

The Archduke MAXI'JILIAN, then, to begin with,
is announced as already on his way to assume his
newly created throne beyond the Atlantic, as the
first Emperor of Mexico, all the difficulties hitherto
Preventing him fr.= doing so, having at length, it
is said, been removed.
The intelligence brought from the extreme north
of Europe to the effect that the Nor wegian Stor-
thing has just been closed, iA accom panica by
