RUSSIA.

A Warsaw letter in the lnvalide Russe gives
the subjoined details concerning the publication of
the Emancipation Manifesto :
" Notwithstanding the damp and gloomy
weather, crowds of people assembled from all the
streets, at the several squares where the publica-
tion of the decrees was to take place. I saw the
Alexander Square and the peristyle of the church
covered with an impatient multitude. At teu
o'clock appeared the procession, at the head of
which advanced 0., horseback the aides-de-
camp of the Governor; then came the District
Grand Master of Police and the trumpeters of
the Grodno regiment of Hussars ; nest, the
Grand Master of the City of -Warsaw, Baron
Frederiksz. Two heralds, clad in tabards of cloth
of gold, with the arms of the Empire embroidered
on the breast, preceded the General, the Count
Baranoff, who had brought the Imperial message.
A squadron of the hussars of Grodno closed the
march. The procession halted in front of the
church, the trumpets gave the signal, and in the
midst of deep silence on the part of the crowd a
herald began to read the proclamation, the last
words of which were saluted by huzzas. The pro-
cession then advanced in the same order, followed
by a dense crowd, to five other places, where the
same reading was to take place. During the march
the Grand Master of Police and the aide•de-
camp of the Governor threw among the crowd
packets containing copies of the proclamation.
The next day couriers were despatched to all
points of the kingdom to announce the message."

TILE PROPOSED CONFERENCE,

FRANKFORT, March 27.

At the sitting of the Federal Diet held yesterday,
Sir Alexander Malet, the. English Envoy, commu-
nicated to the President an official document upon
the Conference without armistice or fixed basis pro-
posed by England in the Dano-German question.
This document is said to state that the English
Government communicates to the Diet, provisionally,
the new proposition it has addressed to the Courts
of Vienna and Berlin, and confidently expects the
Diet will not fail to perceive it is with especial
regard to its position in the question that England
has abstained from laying down a basis for the
Conference. The present communication is only
to be looked upon es confidential, the pros-
pect being held out of a subsequent formal
invitation. England appears desirous first to as-
sure herself of the assent of the signitaries to the
London treaty. In diplomatic circles it is gene-
rally believed that the Diet will accept the Conter
rence by a large majority.
In confirmation of this the Frankfort Europe of
to-day says :—" The Germanic Diet held an extra-
ordinary sitting yesterday, at which its president
communicated two English notes. In one of these
communications the English Cabinet notifies to the
Federal Dietthe proximate meeting in London of a
Conference in which Austria, Prussia, Denmark,
and England will take part. In the other note the
Germanic Diet is invited to send a representative
to the Conference. The two notes were referred to
the united committees upon the. affairs of Schles-
wig-Holstein, with instructions to report upon them
with the least possible delay."
