The Monitcur of this day publishes an article on
General Dumont's mission to Rome, in which it
says :—"
The journals are discussing the mission to
Rome, which had been entrusted to Gen. Dumont,
and publish a speech alleged to have been delivered
by him. It is necessary to state the exact truth of
the affair. The Minister of War has simply re-
quested General Dumont during his stay in Rome
to inquire into the causes which led to a certain
number of desertions from the Antibes Legion. As
regards the speech attributed to General Dumont,
suffice it to say it was not spoken. The reports
published of it are apocryphal."
The Constitutionnel of to-day publishes an ar-
ticle by M. Paulin Limayrac, in which he shows
that France had not interfered diplomatically in the
differences between Prussia and Denmark. In-
structions had been sent to the French representa-
tive at Berlin, from which all idea of interfering in
the negociations now pending between Berlin and
Copenhagen was excluded.
The Moniteur has stated the truth of the situation
by declaring that"no note has been either presented
or read to the Berlin Cabinet relative to Schleswig.
It was, however, not stated that the French Govern-
ment had not written no despatches to its Chargé
d'Affaires at Berlin on the subject. Every one
knows that Governments almost daily send off de-
spatch,'s containing instruetionss or directions on

the various pending questions, and frequently
their representatives--read or communicate con-
fidentially such documents. These are mere acts
of courtesy, bearing no official character, and in no
way affecting the relations existing between the
States. The presentation of a note would have been
serious, but the existence of several despatches to
our agent in Berlin is hardly of a nature to occupy
public attention. Rather would the Prussian Go-
vernment itself have been astonished had the French
Government withheld its opinion on so important a
question, and would regard such silence as b.td
augury, thus creating► one of the situations which is
seldom produced, but which always creates distrust.
Such are not the relations of the two Cabinets."
