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

berations to the examination and approbation of all
the powers who signed the treaty of Paris.

Tile Gazette de :Lyons says,—
" The sentence of the Military Tribunal on Lieut. de
Mercy wm, as is usual in France, delivered 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 l' asked de Mercy anxi-

answered the friend, `you are condemned !' To what I'
'Death !' Ala!' answered de Mercy, apparently relieved,
'you friestened me ! I had imagined, from your agitation,
that I was ccndetnned to bard labour !' Shortly after he
was taken to the court to hear the sentence read. He

purpose. The prisoner i 3 of an excellent family
of Loraine, but is without fortune. He entered the
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, du 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 he
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 The Austrian military commanders on the
Turkish frontiers have received orders to observe a
strict neutrality, but to disarm at once all refugees
from
at once into the interior. Orders
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 family trea-
sure, and has, it is said, completed the defences of
the mountain passes in such a way that 60,000
Turks could scarcely force them."
