LONDON, S.I2"URD:II7, .IUGUS7 17, 1867.

The affairs of Germany generally engage parti-
cular attention at this time of the year, and although
we have now no disturbances to chronicle, it cannot be
said that all is settled in the state of the country, or
that the multifarious arrangements are by any means
completed which are supposed to effect unity, and
make one kingdom or empire out of a score of small
principalities. Not that it follows that this will be
lasting when it is done, for there does not seem to
exist much agreement among the divers interests
and various claims. In pursuance with the wish of
some of the members of the Bavarian Chamber, a
meeting of South German Deputies was held the
other day at Stuttgardt, at which resolutions were
passed more or less significant, but the general
tenour of them seems to inculcate a spirited
feeling. It is stated that it is imperatively neces-
sary that the South German States should be re-
united with Northern Germany. The fifth resolu-
tion is an important one, which states that the
people must demand their full share of the benefits
of the constitution of the North German Confedera-
tion. It seems, indeed, as if the chief object of
these assertions were to vindicate the rights of the
people, and to point out how and in what manner
general freedom might be obtained. German
citizens, kis said, ought to settle trade and
legislate on Matters, and it is evident that the
demands of South Germany to regulate these in
common with the North is " fully justifiable, and
cannot be refused." The only way, it is declared,
to attain a complete union of the South German
States with North Germany will be to enter the
North German Confederation, " in spite of the de-
fects and faults of its Constitution, and of the de-
plorable mistakes of the Prussian Govern-
ment." This is plain speaking, at any rate,
and cannot be interpreted in any way that is
favourable and flattering to the Berlin Govern-
ment. The final resolution affirms that the
German people, so soon as they possess the
necessary organs of their will and power, would
take care of their own interests, and " satisfy their
desire for free development, and fulfil their mission
for the civilisation of mankind."
however it may suit the views of some to declare
that all is proceeding exactly as Count BIS3IARCK
may desire, it looks very much as if those represen-
tatives intended to assert the rights of the commu-
nity, and to make the influence of the people felt, if
possible, in contradistinction to that of the oppres-
sive weight of Prussian dictation. When all is
arranged according to the best of Count has
plans, he may find the task he has
imposed upon himself an impracticable one after
all, and the end may be that an amount of peace
and a degree of liberty little expected or desired
by that statesman may be obtained by the German
States. It is well known that the extraordinary
successes of last year would never have been gained
by Prussia had not there been a strong desire on
the part of many German States to become joined
with Prussia rather than remain as they were.
German princes were fast becoming nonen-
tities ; but we expect that, long before
this, those most anxious for a change have
discovered that they have substituted King Stork
for King Log. At any rate no one at all competent
to judge can dispute the fact that a general dislike
to Prussia is the prevailing sentiment among all the
lesser states and principalities, and such a result is
indeed a deplorable one. If a war had broken out
this summer between Prussia and France, where
would King WILLIAM have formed willing allies?
Not among those whom he had cajoled, and
then deceived, outwitted, and then trampled
upon. When the inevitable crash comes,
and hostilities, long delayed, at last ensue,
between these two rival Powers the world may
learn a lesson of the value of truth and honesty by
witnessing the evils wrought to Prussia from the
want of those principles of action.
The French Emperor will soon meet the Emperor
of Austria, and who can tell what may be the result
of their conferences. Prussia is now moving heaven
and earth to gain over all interests to herself from
France, but she may not find it so easy to do so as
she imagines. The prestige of the French Govern-
ment far excels that of the authorities at Berlin,
and we would not give much for the
chances of the one against the other. It is curious
enough to notice that when any one begins to sum
up the various events of the last few years, he is
met at every turn by the traces of Prussian cruelty,
and the records of her treachery are innumerable.
Thus Denmark has not been forgotten, nor, indeed,
is it likely that her wrongs will be suffered to pass
into oblivion, for her sacrifice has had many bitter
consequences. The war of last year was mainly
attributable to the effects of the Dano-German
war, and the more momentous struggle that
in all probability is yet impending may be traced
to the same cause. Prolific of misery, and most
fruitful in evil consequences, has indeed been the
whole course of Prussian policy of late years ; and
the worst of it is that the effects will fall not only
upon the people of Prussia, who are in a great
measure innocent of the intention to do harm, but
on many others also. Germany unity is a grand-
sounding thing, but who shall define its exact
meaning ? One thing it does not mean, and that is
attachment to Prussia and reliance on her pro-

mises.

It would seem from the news brought by the
Persia, from New York, that the Democratic party
is rapidly gaining ground, having carried the elec-
tions in Kentucky by a majority of GO,OOO, electing
the Governor, most of the members of the Legisla-
lature, and the member to Congress, Mr. GALTO-
DAY. In other parts of the country the Radical
commanders are resolved to make the most of their
power while they have it. General SICKLES has
ordered the postponement of the North Carolina
Legislature until further notice, and directed
the suspension of trial by jary until the jury
lists are revised. So that the favoured State of
Carolina will be without any sort of popular retro-
sentation, and without trial by jury, two of the
fundamental guarantees of public liberty. The same
thing is going on all through the South. General
POPE has ordered all civil suits against otlicers for
acts done in pursuance of military orders to be
abandoned ; General SIIEP.IDAN has removed the

city treasurer of New Orleans and appointed his
successor. It is manifest that great abuses of
power are likely to accrue under such a sys-

It is nothing Letter than wholesale des

Supreme Court itself affords them no protec-
tion, since we find that the Attorney-Ge-
neral has received complaints that the mili-
tary commander at Washington obstructs
the serving of civil processes issued by Chief Jus-
' tice CHASE. In fait the whole system throughout
the South is based on the same principle, the object
being to crush all independence out of the white

population.
The Mexican news, which comes through Florence,
is `,,to the effect that the Diplomatic Body intend
leaving Mexico and proceeding to Washington to
await the instructions of their respective Govern-
ments. • JCAUEZ has many difficulties to contend
against, since LAZADA defies him, and it is re-
ported that MARuEz, the brother of MIRA:MON,
and other generals, are organising a large force in
the mountains. An officer of the United States
navy has gone to the capital to demand, it is said,
the person of SANTA ANNA, who is now reported to
be alive, and in captivity at Campeachy.

Among the constant proofs of the general gre
and selfishness of the money-getting world tha
thrust themselves unpleasantly upon the attention
it is gratifying to meet, as we sometimes do, with
evidences of large-hearted generosity and public
spirit. We have iu the records of to-day two such
instances, reflecting honour ou our countrymen,
and showing that England has still among her
men of business individuals with whom the
acquisition of money is only regarded es a
means of benefiting their fellow-creatures.
It is just ten years ago since Sir FP.ANCIS CROSSLEY
presented a People's Park to the Mayor and Cor-
poration of Ilalifax, accompanying it with the con-
dition that they spent not less than £315 per annum
in its preservation. This they gladly undertook to
do, and the park has ever since been a source of
pleasant, healthful, and innocent recreation to the
busy and populous neighbourhood. Sir FRANCIS
CnossLEv has now enhanced the value of his gift
still further. By the munificent donation of
£6,000 he has provided an investment for
realising the necessary income, so that the inhabi-
tants of llalif ax have no longer any responsibility
in connection with the park, which remains the free
gift of its public-spirited and munificent donor.
The other instance of generosity to which we alluded
is even more remarkable. At the annual meeting of
the Mersey Steel and Iron Company, held yester-
day at Liverpool, with Mr. T. HoIISFALL, M.P., in
the chair, it was stated that, owing to the general
been a loss in the year's
depression of trade, there had
workings of £6,712, added to a loss of over
£7,000
from depreciation of the machinery, Sce. The
chairman stated that himself and his brother, after
mature consideration, had agreed to waive their
claim to £64,000 of the goodwill, which was valued
at £94,000 at the time the business was transferred
to the company. Such an act speaks for itself , and
will bring its own reward.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS

the Bank, in order that she might claim it again
on the ground that payment had been made with- '
out due caution. Supposing the documents to
be forged, however, they were perhaps forged
with the connivance of the decaased, who
intrusted the prisoner with the business, as they
were in partnership together, and it was done for
their mutual benefit. In conclusion the learned
counsel said—" I repeat, the prisoner had not ex-
hibited any fear, because she knew that it was God
who enlightened judges, and as God enlightened
there could not be any mistake, and therefore the
jury would say that she was innocent."
Nothing is thought of today but the grand fete,
and the crowds are everywhere enormous.

An extraordinary change in the weather took
place about three o'clock this morning. It became
much colder, and rain began. There was a great
deal of rain in the early part of tho day, and the
temperature was fresh—an excessive relief aftcr the
tremendous and prostrating heat of yesterday.
The fete to-day is not only that of Napoleon, but
is kept by the Catholic Church as that of Saints
Marie and the Assumption.
Soon after the arrival of the King of Greece in
Paris he left for the camp at Chalons to visit the
Emperor.

PARIS, Friday Evening.
No papers have been published this morning, the
printers having had a holiday yesterday in order to
enjoy the Emperor's fete. Never was it celebrated
with such eclat. The spectacle last night in the
Champs Elys6e,,, the Place de h Concorde, and
the Tuileri,:s surpassed in glitteriag splendour all
that is recorded by fancy in Eastern tales. It may
be safely described as a sight unparalleled for
brilliancy and marvellous dazzling. The miles of
route of the Champs Elys6es, with the avenues in
all directions, formed a rich blaze of various
coloured lights. The flower-beds and trees seemed
on tire, and the fountains played around lamps ex-
hibiting all the colours of the rainbow. The crowd
was enormous, but, as far as I have heard, nothing
occurred to mar the delight of the evening, as was
unhappily the case last year. As to the fireworks,
the " oldest inhabitant" never saw anything like
them. They as well as the fete went off well.
The last word is not yet said about Madame Fri-
gard, the lady who commits murder and forgery
without premeditation." Seldom has so much morbid
curiosity and interest been displayed as in this case.
Sad to say, the women seem to sympathise more
with the prisoner than with the victim. The court
was crowded with women. The jury deliberated
more than an hour. On their return into court
