PARIS, AUG. 15.
By an Imperial decree published today an an•
anal addition of 50fr. has been made those clergy-
men who are over 60 years of age.
M. Behic, the Minister of Finance; M. Stourm;
M. Forcade de la Roquette, Councillor of State; M.
Vintry, the President of the Bank; and Cardinal
Donnet have been appointed Grand Officers of the
Legion of Honour; and M. During, the Minister
of Public Instruction ; MM. Emile Pereire and

By Imperial deoree, Colonels the Marquis de
Toulongeon and Count Lepic, aides-decamp of the
Emperor, have been promoted to the rank of Gene-
ral of Brigade, and placed hors cadre. This latter
arraugemunt is probably in order to enable them to
hold ti eir present positions at Court.
A telegraphic despatch from Berne announces
that the Federal Council has formally claimed the
release of the ex-Polish Dictator Langiewicz, who
has become a Swiss citizen. It may be remarked
that this demand of the Federal Council is not new,
and the belief was that the Court of Vienna some
weeks ago decided on acceding to it. Some jour-
nals even made known the conditions laid down for
giving liberty to the ex-Dictator, and accepted
bath by M. Langiewicz and by the Federal Govern-
ment. The affair appeared to be thus terminated,
when everything has again been called in question.
The assertion now is that it is Count de Itechberg,
who, on his return from Kissingen, raised fresh
difficulties, and in some measure withdrew the pro-
mise which had been given. This explains the late
step taken by the Federal Council.

DENMARK.

The news that Schleswig Holstein alone is to
bear the whole expense of the war has produced a
painful impression in the Duchies. The Kiel Jour-
nal gives expression to the public sentiments in
demonstrating that there is no just ground for im-
posing on the Duchies so heavy a burden, simply
because Denmark is too poor to indemnify the Ger-
man Powers :—" The cost of the war," says the
Holstein journal, "ought to be paid by the party
which provoked it. The conqueror may, out of
generosity, refrain from exacting payment, but he
has no right to impose on another country the obli-
gation of paying in place of the vanquished.
Assuredly, deliverance from the Danish domination',
is a great benefit to the Duchies, but that is .not a I
sufficient reason for compelling us to pay a sum of
75 millions of francs." The liquidation of the war
expenses encounters other obstacles besides these.
The preliminaries of peace make no allusion to the
vessels captured. The Prussian shipowners, how-
ever, demand an indemnity, and they appeal to the
promise made by the Prussian Government to that
effect. It thus appears that the financial side of the
Dano-German question presents scarcely less com-
plications than the political arrangements.
