BERLIN, JUNE 22.
The official Preussische Zeitung of to-day in a

leading article says, among other things, as fol

Lows :

" The Franco-Sardinian army is moving near the
frontiers of Germany. The Prussian Government
has repeatedly declared that it regards the security
of Germany as intrusted to its care. The Italian
conflict is assuming ever-increasing dimensions.
England and Russia are arming on the greatest
scale. The Prussian Government would be faith-
less to its duty, and to the sense of the nation, if it
should neglect to act commensurately with that
spirit by which Prussia has become great. Prussia
is free from every engagement; she obeys only
those obligations which spring from the innermost
nature of her State interests. It will soon be seen
whether Prussia's initiative will be supported with
the necessary weight by the German States. Prus-
sia's policy stands firm, and whoever lays obstacles
in its way may consider that he is rendering ser-
vices to the enemies of the Fatherland."

A letter from Brescia, in the Siecle, relates a
fresh exploit of General Urban, as he passed through
Calcio some short time back :

"Being desirous of continuing the traditions of his pre-
decessors, ho immediately, on his arrival, summoned to his
presence the heads of the municipality. When they ar-
rived, he ordered them in a peremptory manner to deliver
to his army, within the delay of seven minutes, 100
oxen, 100 sacks of oats, 100 casks of wine, and
12,000 swanzigs. The delegates remonstrated, say-
ing that the village was poor, and that the time
allowed was too short. The only answer made by the ge-
neral was to draw out his watch, and pointing at the hour,
to say, The delay I allow has commenced, gentlemen,
The delegates looked at each other in alarm, and after a
minute's consideraton proposed a sum of 14,000 swanziga
in lieu of the other objects demanded. The general made
no answer until the seven minutes had elapsed, when he
said that he would make necompromise, and arrested the
delegates as hostages. On the following day, during theted
hasty retreat of the Austrians, the three prisoners fecal
their escape and returned to Calcio. Thesegenii nmetti'

have also seen here several officers of the French navy,
which rather surprised me, as this place is more than 50
leagues from the sea. I went to the railway station to
get some explanation relative to the appearance of those
officers so far inland, and I there saw an immense quantity
of naval articles, and among the rest six large waggons
carrying gunboats taken to pieces, so as to be easy of
conveyance. The passage of those boats through
this place, accompanied by a number of sailors,
has been going on for two or three days. These boats
when they left France were intended to operate on the Po
and perhaps to act against Piacenza, but the battle of
Magenta caused their destination to be changed. They are
now being sent to the Lake of Garda, where they will lend
a powerful aid to the army in the siege of Peschiera, as it is
against that place, report says, that the allies will first
direct their forces."

A Paris correspondent of the Nord of Brussels

says
" In what sense and at what moment will Prussia bring
forward her mediation ? This is a question which every one
asks. According to diplomatic despatches from London
and Berlin, one would be tempted to believe that it is after
the first great battle in Italy that this mediation will be pro-
posed ; and if we may believe rumours which are current, the
Cabinet of Berlin is'at this moment occupied in concerting
the basis of it with the new English Ministry. These
bases will, it is said, be as follows :—Lombardy shall
become an independent State ; Venetia shall be governed by
an archduke, and an energetic application shall be made to
