tious. A Madrid paper states that in 1864, when
Maximilian unfortunately accepted the throne of
Mexico, verses were in circulation at Trieste to the
following effect :—" Maximilian, do not put confi-
dence in the Mexicans. The worm-eaten throne of
Montezuma is like a Gallic cup overflowing with
froth. Who forgets the time° Danaos ? Under the
purple the rope is found."
There was a Cabinet Council this afternoon at
the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, July 24 (Evening).

The Italia of this evening sass Signor Rattazzi
was present at the last sitting of the committee on
the bill for the suppression of the forced paper cur-
rency. He declared that the Government would be
enabled to withdraw the forced paper currency if
the Chamber would grant them the 600,000,000
lire they had demanded, and which they proposed
should be raised in the form of an extraordinary
tax on the ecclesiastical property. The committee is
disposed to propose an additional clause to the
bill, stipulating that the withdrawal of the forced
currency shall be expected on the Ist of July,
1868. The Government will, however, be allowed
a few months' latitude, in order to facilitate the
operation, and to provide by other means for the
wants of the Treasury.

PRUSSIA AND DENMARK.

BERLIN, July 25.

The reply of the Danish Government to the last
Prussian Note upon the North Schleswig question
is to the following effect :

In the matter of the guarantees asked for by
Prussia, Denmark has not been able to recede from
the point of view she has hitherto maintained.
The Danish laws, well known to be liberal, secure
equal rights to all subjects of the State, and there-
fore afford ample protection to German residents.
Special guarantees, therefore, are not required.
With regard to the co-operation of Denmark in
settling the frontiers of the districts proposed to be
restored, touched upon in the Prussian Note, the
Danish Cabinet points out that Denmark is ex-
cluded from taking the initiative in this matter by
the clause of the Treaty of Prague referring to the
subject. Denmark must therefore await the pro-
posal of Prussia.

The Note concludes with the expression of the
readiness of the Danish Government to enter into

negotiation with Prussia.
