" 4. This resolution shall be brought to the cognisance of

the Governments ofAustria, Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover
by their envoys, and those Governments will be called upon
to make all the necessary preparations, that the measures
decreed may be immediately put into execution.
On this question the Journal desDebats publishes
the following, dated Frankfort, Oct. 1
" A note has been addressed by the English Government
to Baron de Kubeck, President of the Assembly for Austria,
in which Earl Russell calls upon the Diet to open fresh ne-
gotiations with Denmark through the intermedium of Aus-
tria and Prussia before carrying out its threatened invasion,
in the hope of thereby attaining a pacific settlement. The
English note has been referred to the two united committees,
who will make a report to the Assembly in an early sitting.
This new diplomatic incident will necessarily lead to a de-
lay in the execution of the military measures which the
Confederation proposed to take against Denmark. The con-
tents of the English note dwell, we are assured, upon the
proposals which the chief of the Foreign-office addressed
simultaneously on Sept. 20, 1862, to the Diet and to Den-
mark ; they pointed out the basis upon which a friendly
entente might be established between the two pat ties inte-
rested. Germany, it will be remembered, showed itself in-
clined to accept those proposals, but they were not well re-
ceived at Copenhagen."

The Moors and Forests in Scotland.

(From the lure? ness Courier.)

The moors and hills aro so difficult of access, on account
of snow, that very little sport has been obtained during the
past week. Deer-stalkers especially are compelled to
remain idle, and most of them have left for the South.
Lord Selkirk took his departure from Gildermory, on the
Novar estate, this morning, his lordship having this year
concluded one of the oldest shooting leases in the North of
Scotland. The following are the notes which we have been
able to collect :

-- -
Lord Dacre and party have killed 37 stags at Ceanacroc,
up to Monday last. On the 23d ult. his lordship killed a
very fine royal, with a head of 13 points. The brow
antlers measured 12 inches in length. Lord Middleton has
shot a number of fine fat stags in the Applecross Forest.
The weight of one of them has been tested, ani found to be
20 stones 21bs. clean, with a fine " long-tined and beau-
tifully-formed" royal head ; span 341 inches. Captain
Ayre also shot, in the Applecross Forest, 6 stags, from
10 to 12 points, by only firing seven shots, and only kill-
ing one stag at each shot. A few days ago, Lord IL
Bentinck shot two stags right and left in the forest of
Glenavon, and two on each of the two following days.
On Friday week he shot three stags at one sta/k, and an-
other stag on the afternoon of Saturday. Asnoi.ig these was
a royal, and another with 11 points. All were in. good con-
dition, averaging about 15 stones. lordship. has now
.
left for the forest of Loch-Errocht, and will finish
his deerstalking for the season by returning to Mar Forest
through Glenavon, thus hunting three extensive forests in
one season. Up to the present time, 19 stags have been
killed in Sir James Matheson's forest of Morsgail, in the
Lows, most of them in very fine condition. In spite of the
weather being unfavourable, Lord Kinloch has succeeded
in bringing down three stags, one of them having a head of
14 points. Sir Gr orge Denys has shot three stags, Mr. E.
A. Tanford one, Mr. Magnay two, one being a royal; Mr.
Eyrie two, one with 14 points, and one a Royal. The sal-
mon fishing in the river Creed, near the Castle, and at the
Ghrimersta on the west side of the island, has been success-
ful, although the season was a late one, owing to the dry
weather during the summer preventing the fish running up
the river. Mr. E. A. Tanford has caught 98 salmon, having
several times brought home eight or nine fish in a day, and
on one occasion at the Ghrimersta, 13. Three gentlemen
from the Castle, in a day and a half, caught in the Ghri-
mersta, 27 salmon, the two largest weighing respectively 15
and 16 pounds ; and two gentlemen, a short time before,
caught in little more than two days 32 salmon. In fact the
lochs and river at the last named places quite swarmed with
fish, affording sport unsurpassed in Scotland.

LOLD CLYDE'S BEQUEST TO GENERAL VINOY..--.
In a codicil to his will, dated May 23 last, the late
Lord Clyde thus expresses himself in reference to the above
distinguished French general, now commanding the Ist di-
vision of the army of Paris :—" I give and bequeath to
Lieut.-Gen. Vinoy, commanding a division in the French
army, and my old and beloved comrade in the Crimea, the
sum of £5OO, as a token of my especial esteem and regard."
During the Crimean campaign Gen. Venoy commanded a
body of French troops placed near those commanded by Sir
Colin Campbell at Balaklava. On several occasions difficult
and perilous duties were confided to their united forces.
The upshot was a warm and lasting friendship between the
two generale, whose example contributed much to the esta-
blishment of that thorough good understanding, kindly feel-
ing, and mutual admiration, which marked the intercourse
of the Zouaves and Highlanders throughout the Crimean
war. If we are not misinformed, a portrait of Gen. Vinoy,
painted expressly for Queen Victoria, now hangs in her
Majesty's writing-closet at Windsor Castle, as a companion
picture to that of his comrade in arms, Sir Colin Campbell.
At the assault and capture of the Malakoff General Vino!
greatly distinguished himself, and at this moment there
