the birth of the Princess Louise-Marie Amalie,
daughter of the Duke de Brabant.
Some foreign journals publish the memorandum
of the Prussian government on the act of naviga-
tion of the Danube. This document declares in
principle that neither the signature of that act nor
the exchange of ratifications changes in any respect
the necessity of submitting the result of the de'i-
berations to the examination and approbation of all
the powers who signed the treaty of Paris.
The Gazette de Lyons says,—

" The sentence of the Military Tribunal on Lieut. de
Mercy wa., as is usual in France, del.vered in the ab-
sence of the prisoner, and a friend went in a state of
great agitation to the cell in which he was confined to
communicate it to him. ' Well I' asked de Mercy anxi-
ously, on the door of the cell being opened. `Allis lost!'
answered the friend, `Sou are condemned !' ' To what V
'Death !' Ah !' answered de Mercy, apparently relieved,
'you frightened me ! I had imagined, from your agitation,
that I was condemned to hard labour !' Shortly after he
wthaienktatkheeny to the court to hear the sentence read. He
afterwards embraced his mother-in-law and brother-in-
law, the Marquise and Marquis du Chatelier, spoke
with emotion of his children, and warmly thanked his
advocate. f

army as a simple soldier, and was about to be promoted
to the grade of captain when the unfortunate event for
which he was tried occurred, He is tall, of somewhat
haughty bearing, and not yet thirty years of age. He
married, in 1853, Mlle, de Chatelier, who was of a
noble family and very beautiful, but, like himself, with-
out fortune. She died in 1856. They entertained a
sincere affection for each other, and a number of her
letters to him, written in touching terms, could have
been produced on the trial if necessary.

Advices from Vienna state that information had
reached that city by telegraph, to the effect that a
proclamation of the Ottoman Government had been
distributed throughout the whole of the Herzego-
vina. This document announces that the Sultan
of his free will has just granted such reforms as ke
considers useful, but that at the same time every
measure had been taken to make the authority of
the Government respected. This last phrase ap-
pears to allude to the reinforcements which, accord-
ing to the last accounts from Constantinople, had
been sent off to the Herzegovina.
A letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette,
says :-4, The Austrian military commanders on the
Turkish frontiers have received orders to observe a
strict neutrality, but to disarm at once all refugees
from Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Montenegro, and
to despatch them at once into the interior. Orders
have been given to prohibit the sale of arms or mu-
nitions of war in the bazaar of Cattaro, but Prince
Danilo had already procured a sufficient supply from
Corfu during his visit the last year. He has de-
spatched to that island his archives and famEy trea-
sure, and has, it is said, completed the defences of
the mountain passes in such a way that 50,000
Turks could scarcely force them."
