It appears from the language of the official journals in
Prussia that that State would not consent to a conference
of the Great Powers except on the preliminary condition
that France should evacuate the Roman territory. The
Independance considers it probable that the French.,
Government would willingly recall its troops to satisfy the
Prussian scruples. The Etendard anticipates that the
ciple of a conference will be accepted byall the Powers. The
same paper states that all through the Italian embroglio the
Prussian Cabinet has made use of the most friendly terms
in its communications with the French Government.
The Prussian Ambassador was instructed to make known.
at the Tuileries King William's personal sympathies fry
the cause which France was upholding in Italy—that ief
public order and international right. We are not informed
what assurances have been given to the Court of Berlin.

PROSPECT US.

The President of the Republic of Honduras, being duly
authorised, has given full powers to Mons. Victor Herran,
Minister at Paris, and Senor Don Carlos Gutierrez, Hon-
duras Minister in London, to contract on account of the
Government a ',Dan, to be applied towards the construc-
tion of an Interoceanic Railway from Puerto Caballos, on
the Atlantic, to the Bay of Fonseca, on the Pacific.
To show the importance attached by the British Go-
veanment to the Honduras luteroceanic Railway, it may
be stated that the line has been surveyed on the part of her
Majesty's Government by Lieutenant-Colonel Stanton,
R.E., and a detachment of Royal Engineers sent out for
the purpose. Colonel Stanton reports "That the harbours
at both termini are unexceptionable, and that the read can
be constructed " without any sharper curves or heavier
gradients than are to be found on existing lines over which
locomotives work without difficulty."
Tho new Treaty between Honduras and Great Britain
declares that—
" In order to securo the construction and permanence of
the route or road herein contemplated, and also to secure
for the benefit of mankind the uninterrupted advantages
of such communication from sea to sea, her Britannic
Majesty recognises the rights of sovereignty and property
of Honduras in and over the line of the said road, and for
the same reason guarantees, positively and effiaciously,
the entire neutrality of the same. And when the proposed
road shall have been completed, her Britannic Majesty
equally engages, in conjunction with the Republic of Hon-
duras, to protect the same from interruption, seizure, or
unjust confiscation, from whatsoever quarter the attempt
may proceed."
Treaties signed by the Honduras Government with
Franca and the United States contain the same provisions,
and th•, French Government, considering the public utility
of the Honduras Railway, has promised the official quota-
tion of the Honduras Loan ou the Paris Bourse.
The following official report by Rear-Admiral Davis,
made to the Secretary of the Navy of the United States
Government, in compliance with a resolution of the
American Congress on the 19th of March, 1866, demon-
strates likewise the importance which the United States
Government attaches to the construction of the Honduras
line :
" The reader who follows the course of the surveyors,
naturalists, and geologists from the capacious, safe, and ex-
cellent harbour of Puerto Caballos, through regions re-
markable for their salubrity, fertility, great variety of cli-
mate and productions, and valuable mineral resources, to
the waters cf the splendid harbour of La Union (Bay of
Fonseca), cannot but regret that capitalists have not found
it to their interest to curry out one of the most promisinc,
and one of the least embarrassing enterprises of the
day."

ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
Sole Lessee and Manager, Mr. Vining.
Mr. and Mrs. DION BOUCICAULT in Arrali-na-Pogue.
THIS EVENING the performances will commence
with a Comedietta by T. J. Williams, Esq., entitled A
LITTLE FLIRTATION.

The line of railway has been carefully selected and sur-
veyed by Mr. Trantwine (late engineer-in-chief of the
Panama Railway) and an efficient staff, and a contract has
been entered into for the construction of the whole line
with stations and rolling stock, for a stipulated sum of
about V.,000 a mile, including every outlay, and the works
are to be proceeded with in sections.

From lime to time, as the instalments of the present
Loan aro received, the proportion to be applied to the
construction of the first section of the railway will be
handed to and held by trustees in trust, to pay the con-
tractor the instalments ou his contract, as certified by the
Government Engineer. The balance of the Loan will be
applied in clearing the forests, and in payment of engineer-
ing and other incidental expenses.
The interest and sinking fund of the Loan are specially
guaranteed by a first charge upon the intended railway
itself and its revenue, and also by a first mortgage upon
the whole of the domains and mahogany forests of the State
of Honduras, which, according to official report, are of im-
mense value.
It is arranged that the whole of the produce of the above
mortgagee State domains and forests shall be consigned
direct to London by the Honduras Government to Messrs.
Bischoffsheim and Goldschmidt, who will pay over the peo-
ceeds of the sales towards the annual interest and, sinking
fund, and the construction of the remaining sections of the
rail way.

It has been further arranged in the contract that, as soon
as any portion of the railway is completed, the contractor
shall bring down to the terminus, free of charge, by the
return empty waggons, any produce of the Government
forests and domains that may be ready for shipment to Eng-
land.

Beginning at the harbour of Puerto Caballoe, on the
Atlantic, the railway will proceed over the table laud of
Honduras—in a line of 230 miles to the Bay of Fonseca, on
the Pacific.

The ports at either end are spacious, safe, and easily
accessible for the largest ships.
The steaming distances from Liverpool to San Fran-
cisco, touching at Jamaica, are—by way of Panama, 7,980
miles; Nicaragua, 7,720 miles; Tehuantepec, 7,740 miles;
Honduras, 7,320 miles.
The distance between New York and San Francisco, by
Panama, is 5,224 miles; by Nicaragua, 4,700 miles; by
Tehuantepec, 4,200 miles; by Honduras, 4,121 miles— a
saving, by way of Honduras, as compared with Panama,
the only line on which a railway is already constructed, of
1,103 miles.

The difference in actual distance, coupled with the su-
periority of ports, the facilities of embarkation and disem-
barkation, and the connection with the American coast
lines, will effect a saving in time, as compared with the
Panama route, of not less than five days between the
Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States.
The line will afford the easiest, safest, and speediest
route between Great Britain and British Columbia; it will
also offer the increased facilities of first-class ports for the
establisnment of speedy intercourse with Australia and
New Zuland, and will bring Jamaica, Belize, and other
British possessions in the West Indies into the direct line
of communication.

Last year the dividend paid by the Panama Company
was at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum on a capital of
£1,600,000, in addition to a bonus of 40 per cent, from
accumulated profits. The Honduras line will in all pro-
bability return as much profit as the Panama line, if not
considerably more.
Sufficient of the proceeds of the present issue will be
applied to the construction of the first section. from Puerto
Caballos to Santiago. This section will enable the ex-
portation of the mahogany, &c., to take place ; the means
of transport now existing being too expensive to bo re-
munerative. Careful estimates have satisfiedt he Honduras
Giverninnt that the surplus revenue of the State domains
and forests will b amply sufficent to complete the whole
line. without any further issue of stock, but in case it should
be foamd advantageous, on account of increasing traffic, to
accelerate the opening of the railway from sea to sea by
raisiug more money, further stock will be issued for the
construction of the roma:fling sections of the railway.
several contracts and other documents can be in-
in ,p,',cted at the 0i1.a3 of Messrs. Baxt.r, Rose, Norton, and
Co., sAicitors, No. 6, Victoria-street, Westminster.
Applications for the Loan will bo received from Mon-

schmidt, and Co., 26, Rue do la Chaussed d'Antin. Pay-
