LA TEST INTEL LICENCE,

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, MAY 16.

It is officially denied that Count von Bismarck
has been negotiating with the leaders of
the Opposition in view of a modification of
the Cabinet. The Government desires, however,
to come to a better understanding with the
Opposition. It is also officially stated that there
was no necessity for the Prussian Government to
send any reply to tue Austrian note of the 4th inst.
since Austria declared that all discussion on the
question of disarmament was exhausted.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian army
has not yet been appointed, and no head quarters
have been determined upon.
The National Zeitung of to-day publishes the
following official communication. :
" The statement made by several German jour-
nals respecting alleged efforts of mediation on the
part of Russia, and also the assertion that the Czar
had declared himself ready to support Austria in the
event of her being atackedby Prussia, would appear
to be untrustworthy. Irrespective of the fact that
Prussia will not take the aggressive, such a decla-
ration does not appear probable, considering the
relations at present existing between Austria and
Russia."

Should the Middle and Minor States reject the
Prussian proposals for Federal reform, Prussia will
make an appeal to the whole German nation em-
bodying propositions of the fullest and most com-
prehensive character.

BRESLAU, MAY 16.

The Municipality and Common Council of this
city have sent an address to the King of Prussia, in
which they acknowledge the justice of the motives
which are leading his Majesty to war with Austria,
and declare that the nation is ready to make the
same sacrifices as in 1813, particularly as the wis-
dom of the King will find means to increase the
popular enthusiasm by terminating the domestic
conflict between the Government and the Chambers.

MUNICH, MAY 15.

The editors of the journals of this city have
been requested not to publish any intelligence re-
specting the movements of troops.
BERNE, MAY 16.

The Italian troops who were stationed on the
frontier of the Valteline have been withdrawn into
the interior of the kingdom.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, MAY 15.

The Chamber has again adopted, by 111 against
6 votes, the proposal to confer the throne, of
Roumania upon Prince Charles of Hohenzollern.

PARIS, MAY 16.

The Constitutionnel of this morning says :—" The
Paris Conference has decided in favour of the union
of Moldavia and Wallachia should the inhabitants
of the Principalities combine in demanding to be
united. The Conference, however, has not con-
sented to the election of a foreign 'Prince.
France would have been glad to see such
an arrangement effected, but as it did not meet the
approval of the other Powers, the French Cabinet
could not think of imposing its opinion upon the
other European Governments."
The Constitutionnel proceeds to express a wish
that the Principalities should listen to the wise
counsels of France, and return to that prudent
attitude which can alone save them from painful

emergencies.
The Emperor Napoleon received yesterday a letter
from the Tycoon of Japan.
