FRANCE.

The Siecle announces that it is abc.at to publish a
'romance from the pen of the Emperor NAPOLEON.
M. PAUL LACROIX, in the following letter to M.
LOUIS DENOYERS, explains the history of the MSS. :
" My Dear Friend,—You have not forgotten the dis-
covery of autograph MSS. of Napoleon Bonaparte,
which were found at Lyons lying in dust and forgetful-
ness from the time that the pupil of Brienne had be-
come general of the army of Italy. These MSS., which
were comprised in the inheritance of Cardinal Fesch,
uncle of Napoleon, and Archbishop of Lyons, be-
long unfortunately no longer to France; but an au-
thentic copy has been given to roe to make what use I
please of it. I bestow the copy on the Siecle, which may
publish the principal parts, with all necessary proofs of
their authenticity. Among the manuscripts of the Em-
peror's youth appear a Corsican romance and several
tales, which, without being chefs d'oeuvre, show real power
of imagination and originality of style, as the readers
of the Siecle will soon be able to judge. It cannot be
denied that the name of the author of these works con-
fers upon them immense interest, and we feel assured
that no contemporaneous publication is better calculated
to excite public attention.

GERMANY.
Accounts from Dresden of the 20th inst. state that
the conferences still continue.
The following from Berlin, of the 21st, is given by
the Sicle •—" The system of M. DE MANTEUFFEL
appears to be coming to a close, and the slightest in-
cident may cause its fall ; for it cannot be concealed
that a great discontent prevails on the subject of the
retrograde march of our policy in all its branches. If
the present Ministry be overthrown, it is a Cabinet of
the Right, and not of the Left, which will come
into power. M. DE RADOWITZ, as far as regards
the present state of affairs, evidently belongs to
the latter. The discontent now felt is caused
less by the difficulties with Austria and the
abandonment of the policy of the Union, than by
the irresolution and hesitation evinced in all the
acts of the present Ministry. The KING and the
Cotart have all their sympathies on the side of the
Holy Alliance, and, unless extraordinary events
should arise, our domestic policy will have as its
principal basis a co-operation with Austria and
Russia. Count D'ARMIN BROCHENBOURG will be the
necessary successor of M. DE MANTEUFFEL, and every
one is acquainted with the principles which guide that
statesman."
A letter from Berlin, of the 22d, says :—" One
of the facts in which may be seen a symptom
of reconciliation between the two German
powers is the approaching evacuation of Hol-
stein by the Austrian troops. 3,000 men have
already taken the road towards Bohemia, via
Madgeburg and Dresden, and the Prussian corps
of observation on the frontiers of Holstein is to be
shortly broken up. There will only, it is said, re-
main an Austro-Prussian corps of 8,000 men to
occupy Hamburgh and the neighbourhood. The
action which Prince ALBERT, the husband of
Queen VICTORIA, had brought against the
Treasury of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha on the
subject of the rente of 25,000f1. coming to him from
the succession of his mother, has been decided in his
favour. From the matrimonial conventions made
between Prince ALBERT and the Queen VICTORIA,
and which have been submitted to the judges, it
appears, that in the event of the Ducal Crown
of Saxe-Gotha passing to the descendants of
Prince ALBERT (his eldest brother the reigning
Duke is unmarried), it will be the second son of the
QUEEN that will succeed to it. Toe duchy would
in that case devolve to the Royal Family of Great
Britain. The situation of affairs in Electoral Hesse
does not appear to improve. The military tribunals
continue to condemn civil functionaries and members
of the Commission of the States. The attitude of the
inhabitants appears to be still hostile to the govern-
ment of the ELECTOR."
A letter from Munich, of March 20, says—" In
the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day,
it was resolved to take into consideration a pro-
position of Prince WALLENSTEIN, that documents
relative to the question of Electoral Hesse and to the
intervention of the Bavarian troops in the Electorate
shall be produced by the Government. The discus-
sion of this affair will cause some agitation ; but it
will not, it is stated, result in the impeachment of
Kinisters,:as desired by the Prince. The Cabinet has
declared that it does not recognise the right of the
Chamber to interfere in acts of the Government which
do not concern the constitution. But the Chamber is
determined to oppose that pretension, as, if agreed to,
it would remove from its control not only all questions
of foreign policy, but also the German question.
