THE ALLEGED FRENCH DESPAICH,

VIENNA, July 27
The Presse of this evening says
‘, The North Schleswig question assumes a
constantly increasing political interest. It is
believed that, circumstances permitting, France
might be disposed to avail herself of it to quarrel
with Prussia. The difficulty for Prussia to with-
draw herself from this affair is not small, as German
national feeling would be hurt by the retrocession
to Denmark of districts in which Germans, in not
inconsiderable numbers, live side by side with
Danes. We can only hope that the same spirit of
moderation which brought the Luxemburg question
to a peaceful solution may also prove efficient with
regard to North Schleswig. The affair has entered
a more serious phase by the undoubted official
intervention of France that has already taken place
in the respective negotiations between Berlin and
Copenhagen. A Berlin correspondent writes to us
on the 25th— in tolerable conformity with the state-
ments of our edition of this morning—as follows
upon the French despatch :
" I hear some details as to the communication
respecting North Schleswig made by France to this
Court. M. Rouher first observed that Prussia will
probably not dispute the right of France to concern
herself in the execution of Art. V. of the
Prague Treaty, as that article, which refers
to North Schleswig, owed its origin to the
influence of French diplomacy, whence must
also follow that all arrangements should
iu reality be carried into effect as promised at that
time by Prussia to France. Bismarck must there-
fore have made verbal promises to Benedetti which,
as it seems, were only uttered to prevent the failure
of the peace. In reference to this point, the French
Cabinet further remarks that, without the promises
given by Prussia in Art. V., France would have
been unable to consent to the acquisitions made by
the war, especially as the French wishes had been
restricted to a minimum. Upon the basis of actual
facts and positive obligations entered into by Prus-
sia, that Power, to whose influence the existence of
Art. V. was altogether due, was entitled to ask
how satisfaction was to be given to Denmark. In
so doing, the French Government took into account
a desire of the French people, who had always felt
sympathy for the fate of Denmark, and had recently
given expression to that sympathy in a greater de-
gree. The intervention of France in the Germano-
Danish dispute is effected with the most courteous
formalities, but nevertheless betrays the desire of
France to adhere to the point of view she had
adopted. As France openly takes the side of Den-
' mark, it is no longer to be expected that the Copen-
hagen Cabinet will hasten to smooth away the dif-
ferences of opinion between this Court and Paris by
limitation of its demands.' "

TION.

ROME, July 22.

The recently constituted National Roman Junta
has issued the following proclamation in this

" Romans !—Suffering, anxiety, and sacrifice, and
the increasing audacity of enemies, neither diminish
nor weaken your patriotism, but rather redouble and
reinvigorate it. The proof of this is in the faith
that constantly animates you, in the concord by
which you seek fresh strength for the final contest,
and in your fixed purpose to conquer or die for
your country, relying upon none but yourselves.
We unhesitatingly accept, therefore, the charge
confided to us. We do not doubt we shall be
enabled to fulfil it, and any deficiency in our
strength will be made up by your valour.
4, It is time to put an end to a state of things in-
tolerable for all. You have waited and suffered
enough for the welfare and the interest of Italy.
The French occupation was endured to the end,
nor was the execution of the September Convention
disturbed. Time enough has been given to the
Italian Government to prove but too clearly that
it has abandoned you to yourselves. Free, there-
fore, from all engagements, you are now masters
of your own destinies. It is for you to show
that calmness was not indifference, delay not
cowardice ; and that, the moment having arrived,
you can defy and overthrow Papal despotism.
" Rome, Italy, and modern society expect this
from you.

" There is nothing to hope from diplomacy or
from the Italian Government. The former gives no
furtherance to the emancipation of peoples, the
latter is bound by a solemn treaty. Both will accept
the accomplished fact, but they cannot provoke it.
" For us, Romans, for us alone, therefore, is the
settlement of the Roman question reserved. While
respecting the spiritual power of the Popes we have
to overthrow the temporal power—eternal and im-
placable enemy of liberty and all human progress,
to secure for Rome by uniting it to constituted
Italy the position assigned to it by the Italian Par-
liament, and to inaugurate for Italy herself an era
of order, peace, prosperity, and greatness. Such is
our twofold and glorious mission.
" Row shall we attain our end? Chiefly by
courageous action. Six years' experience have
proved that moral means alone do not suffice with
the Roman Curia. They merely result in syllabuses,
in factious assemblies, and in fresh defiance, insult,
and intrigue against Italy. Other means are
therefore necessary. We require arms and the will
to use them, and not to lay them down until we are
victorious.

"Nor can our triumph fail. Let us only move
in compact unity and the mercenaries of the Pope-
King must give way before the shock. On them
fall the malediction of the civilised world, with us
be the wishes and vengeance of the Italian nation.
"Romans !—Let us each do our duty, we in
preparing and conducting the work, you in ensuring
its success. Let there be no discussion, but strenthen
and close up your ranks. Promote the cause by
every means in your yower, by money, by counsel,
by arms, and you will receive your guerdon from
a redeemed country.
" The flag that we display is not that of one party
more than another, but that of all who desire to
abolish the temporal power and reunite Rome to
Italy. This is the flag around which all may rally,
it is the flag of Rome.
"If we would succeed, union is necessary above
all. If we would act speedily, there must be con-
cord and assiduous labour. The more perfect our
unity the greater our strength, and weaker and less
firm will be the resistance opposed to us.
" The eyes of the nation, of the world, are upon
us, let us not fail nor belie the glory of the Roman
name. "THE NATIONAL ROMAN JUNTA.

GARIBALDIAN ENROLMENTS.

FLORENCE, July 21.

A. few days ago the Minister of the Interior for-
warded a circular to the Prefects of the Kingdom,
requesting them to take immediate and effective
measures to prevent the enrolment of young men
destined to take part in revolutionary projects
against the Pontifical Government. In consequence
of these instructions, the prefects have addressed
circulars to the mayors of their respective provinces
stating the wishes of the Government. The circular
of the Prefect of Umbria, dated 21st July, with
which those of other prefects correspond in effect,
is as follows :

"The confidence which reciprocally unites us in-
duces me to address you in terms dictated by the
great love 1 bear to my country.
" Persistent rumours assert that it is desired to
effect the settlement of the Roman question by
violent means. These rumours have little founda-
tion, but they have become magnified by repetition.
Among us it is said that preparations are being made
elsewhere. Elsewhere it is asserted that we are
making such preparation. Meanwhile this agitation
creates illusions, which, when dispelled, leave ran-
cour and recrimination behind them.
" The national programme, which trusts to moral
means and international treaties, the violation of
which would entail a most serious responsibility,
renders it certain that the great majority are sensi-
ble of the injurious effect and the danger of this
continual agitation which, while disturbing admin-
istrative regularity and checking mercantile pros-
perity, only delays the political settlement of the
question. Nevertheless, a recent fact convinced me
that there are still some young men whose passions,
generous though they may be, greatly mislead them.
You were aware that those young men were
arrested on their imprudent path. Should others
follow their example they will be similarly checked.
I feel bound to repeat this to you once more in
order that you may be able to warn any who may
deceive themselves as to the intentions of the Go-
vernment. The accusation that the Government
connives at or tolerates such attempts, should be
wholly disproved by the testimony of facts.
Nevertheless, it is repeated from time to time, and
this only proves the conviction existing even
among the most unscrupulous, that such enterprises,
in order to secure accomplices, must be masked
under a show of order.
" The Government will never tolerate any viola-

tion of the September Convention. I declare to
all that the authorities to whom the sacred deposit
of public order and respect for international trea-
ties is entrusted will not hesitate to oppose any at-
tempts to violate these obligations ; and 1 beg you,
in your zeal for the public welfare, to use your in-
fluence in preventing them.
(Signed) " The Prefect, GADDA."

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO KELSO.—The forth-
coming visit of her Majesty to this town is a matter of un-
usut.l interest in the district, and the various arrangements
for the reception are being completed with great expedition.
It has now been announced that the Queen will arrivo at
Kelso on the morning of the 21st proximo. On her arrival
at the station she will be met by the Duke and Duchess
of Roxburgho, and be conducted by them to Floors Castle.
Nothing of an official character is expected to take place
between the railway station and the town, but at the
entrance to the latter there will be a deputation waiting to
receive her Majesty. It is also proposed to have a general
illumination of the town at night.
SUICIDE BY A SOLD' EB.—On Monday morning a
private of the 2d Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, stationed
at Wellington Barracks, shot himself through the head
with his rifle.
FATAL STABBING CASE IN BIRMINGIIAM.—On
Monday William Silvester, a button-maker, was charged
with causing the death of John Sheppard. From the de-
position of the deceased man, taken on Sunday evening, it
appears the prisoner aLd liis father came to the house of
the deceased's father on the night of the 20th, when Shep-
pard's father was knocked down, and Sheppard himself
stabbed in the shoulder with a knife. The unfortunate
man died in the hospital, to which ho was removed im-
mediately after receiving the wound. The prisoner was
remanded to await the result of the inquest.

ADVEUTISEMENT.]-110110Way'S Ointment and Pills.—
Cough, Emaciation.—These symptoms, slight, but steadily
advancing, mark a depraved condition of the body, which
will run its rapid course to consumption, unless some re-
sistant remedy be at once applied. All congestion of the
lungs and engorgemeuts of the air tubes are removed by
rubbing Holloway's ointment upon the back and front of
the chest; and. all impurities are extracted from the blood
by his purifying pills, which establish a good digestion,
and so strengthen the system and avert both present and
future danger. These potent remedies require no foreign
aid to change the consumptive tendency, and to remove all
obstructions springing from impure blood, deficient nervous
power, or other constitutional or local defects.

THE SULTAN 1N AUSTRIA.

4

VIENNA, July 27.

At 6.45 this morning the Emperor of Austria
arrived at the Western Railway Station, to wait the
coming of his illustrious guests. His Majesty wore
the uniform of an Austrian marshal, and was de-
corated with the Mejidie, and various other high
orders. Upon the telegraph announcing the ap-
proach of a train conveying the Padishah, the spec-
tators who had been allowed to enter the station
arranged themselves in parallel lines, the guard of
honour presented arms, and the band struck up the
Turkish Hymn.
The train could not be brought to a standstill at
the proper time, and therefore considerably over-
shot the place where the Emperor was waiting to
receive his guests—a mishap at which his Majesty
seemed much amused. He hastened after the
train, and as soon as the Sultan stepped out of the
carriage at once offered him his hand, upon which
the two sovereigns exchanged bows and greetings.
The Emperor then spoke for some minutes in
French, his words being translated into Turkish by
Aarify Bey, the chief interpreter.
The Sultan looked fatigued, owing no doubt to
his long and rapid journey. He wore a a simple
Turkish uniform, ornamented upon the breast with
one Austrian order. The Emperor escorted his
guest to the guard of honour, inspected the men,
and then repaired to the place set apart for their
Majesties, where Burgomaster Zelinka, the Gover-
nor of Lower Austria, the Commandant of Vienna,
Adjutant Bellegarde, and the Chief Equerry, were
presented to the Sultan. his Majesty gave each of
these gentlemen his hand to kiss.
After the presentation their Majesties passed
into the Imperial waiting-room, the Sultan acknow-
ledging the salutes of the bystanders by touching
his fez. The suite of the Sultan, including Fuad
Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna, and
many high officials of the Ottoman Empire, passed
through the station to their carriages, the Sultan's
son only being admitted, by the Emperor's order,
to join their Majesties in the waiting-room. After
a' short stay their Majesties then repaired to the
court-yard. Four open court carriages, each drawn
by six horses, led the procession, which numbered
upwards of fifty vehicles. The Sultan, his son, the
Emperor, and the chief interpreter, occupied the
first carriage ; the Sultan's brother and Fuad Paella
were in the second ; and the remainder were filled
with Turkish and Austrian officials. When the
'cortege issued into the street it was received with
oud cheers and shouts, which continued through"
out the drive.
The members of the Imperial family awaited the
arrival of the Sultan in the court-yard of the Castle
at Schonbrunn, where a numerous and select
company belonging to the upper classes was also
assembled. Among the Princes were noticed
Archduke Carl Ludwig, the Grand D uke of Tuscani•
Archduke Albrecht, Archduke Wilhelm, and Duke
Maximilian of Bavaria, brother of the Empresg•
After the first general welcome, the Emperor pre-
sented the members of his family to the Sultan,
through the medium of the interpreter. Their :NW
jesties and suite next passed up the grand staircase
into the grand saloon, where a short conversation
took place, after which the two Sovereigns with-
drew to their apartments, and the Archdukes drove
back to Vienna. A Court dinner was given at
Schonbrunn in the evening.

The Volunteer Artillery Contests at Shoe'

fire, hands joined, and " Auld Lang Syne" was sung
with effect. A number of men holding port fir°
marched round, and " God save the Queen" 'o3*4
