FRANCE.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night] :
" It is by mistake," says the Debats, " that it has
been stated that Al. ANDRIAN, Vice-President of the
Assembly of Frankfort, is coming to Paris on an extra-
ordinary mission to the Republic. AI. ANDRIAN is only
to pass through the capital, and proceeds to London.
It is M. FREDERICK DE RAUMER, the eminent historian,
who is charged to convey to General CAVAIGNAC the ex-
pression of the sympathies of the Lieut.-General of the
Empire of Germany for the Government of France. If
the mission of Al. DE RAUMER should extend to other
questions, and especially to the desire of the Empire to
take part in the negotiations concerning Italy, it would
only be, we are assured, with the well-decided intention
to take a conciliating position as regards Italian liberties,
in case they should be threatened by unjust pretensions."

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
The following correspondence has passed between the
Danish and the Prussian Generals on the subject of the
armistice :

" Neile, July 24, 1848.

" I have had the honour of informing your Excellency on
the 12th instant that the King, my august master, has au-
thorised me to sign with your Excellency an armistice on
the basis reciprocally agreed upon at Malmo, under the aus-
pices of Sweden. This basis was accepted and confirmed by
his Danish Majesty on the one hand, and by his Majesty the
King of Prussia on the other. This, at least, was the ex-
press assurance of the Court of Berlin to his Majesty the
King of Sweden and Norway.
" Your Excellency has been kind enough to inform me on
the 13th inst., that you had likewise received from his
Majesty the King of Prussia the full powers requisite for
negotiating and signing an armistice. I had, therefore,
every right to suppose that the armistice would be signed on
the basis which had been agreed upon.
" But from the very first preparatory conferences at
Beilerm, near Kolding, you, sir, have thought proper to
thrust forward certain conditions which but ill agree with
those of Malmo, to cancel the conditions which could be of
any value to Denmark, and to insert others, by far less fa-
vourable ones, in their stead. Nevertheless, I did not think
myself entitled to break off this negotiation, however
strangely its features were changed. I appealed to my Go-
vernment for instructions. I was then authorised to propose
to your Excellency, through Mr. Von. Beedtz,
certain modifications, which, it was hoped would
lead to an ultimate agreement. But the Counts
of Youmans, Oriole, and Aliinster, who acted in your
Excellency's name, have in the conference of the 19th inst.,
and in the presence of the Ministers of Great Britain and of
Sweden, made almost the same demands which had been
advanced in the preceding conferences. There were, indeed,
some alterations, but these could not make them less objec-
tionable in the eyes of the Danish Government. Your Ex-
cellency has, besides all this, expressed your intention of sub-
jecting this arrangement to another ratification, the refusal
of which would suffice to cancel the whole agreement.
" The King's Government has clone all that it could do to
put an honourable term to the hostilities, but it cannot pre-
vail upon itself to consider as nugatory the engagement
which his Majesty the King of Prussia made with Sweden,
and to think that this Sovereign, who began the feud by an-
ticipating the decrees of the Germanic Diet, should no longer
be competent to putting a stop to it, and that in spite of the
powers plenipotentiary with which he has been invested for
that purpose.
" If your Excellency be of another opinion, then its re-
sponsibility rests with you, and it is you who again appeal to
the fate of war. As for me, I have to inform you that I am
still ready, this very day (before the expiration of the cessa-
tion of hostilities), to sign the armistice such as it was agreed
upon at Malmo.

" I remain, Sir,
" H EDEMANN."
Copy of a letter from General WRANGEL to the Gene
ral lIEDEMANN, Commander-in• Chief of the troops oi
his Majesty the King of DENMARK:—
" Hadersleben, July 24.

" Sir,—l learn from your Excellency's letter of this morn-
ing that you intend to break off the negotiation, for you not
only reject all the modifications which I thought it my duty
to propose to the primitive draught of Malmii, but also that
particular clause by which the ratification of the armistice is
reserved to his Imperial Highness the Regent of the Empire.
I have, therefore, the honour to inform you that the Count of
Pourtalis leaves my head-quarters this day, and that hostili-
ties will recommence from this evening at ten o'clock.
" I remain, tec.,
" WRANGEL, General of Cavalry."
