REMALKP.

The diminution in atmospherical pressure on the N.E. coast has
been considerable during the last twenty-four hours, the difference
In readings at Nairn and Aberdeen being nearly half an inch, whilst
In the S. and W. readings are slightly greater. Pressures are low in
the N., increasing in amount to the southward : the difference
between Aberdeen and Rochefort is half an inch. Tempera-
ture is generally lower. On our Channel coast a high wind from the
S.W. blew yesterday, which increased to a gale from the west at Cape
Gris Nez, and is continuing. Westerly winds are prevalent this
morning in the N. and W., and south-westerly on the S. coast of
England. Much rain has fallen doze ye;terday---sspecially in
Scotland. The weather is generally cloudy, end mist is reported in
the S.W.

The Opinion Nationale says it has received information
from a thoroughly trustworthy source to the effect that
the English Government has made fresh overtures to the
Cabinet of Florence respecting the passage of the overland
mail by way of Brindisi.

The replacement of General von Falkenstein by General
Manteuffel as commander of the Ist corps d'armde
is the topic of the day in Prussia. The former
is very popular, the latter just the reverse. The
part which General Manteuffel played in Schleswig-
Holstein and in the campaign of 1866, in wYcli he re-
placed General Falkenstein as commander-in-chief of the
Army of the Maine, has not by any means semred for him
a share of public esteem. The disgrace of one of the most
popular generals in Prussia is regarded with universal dis-
satisfaction. General Falkenstein is a decided supporter
of the scheme of an alliance between Austria and Prussia.
Has this predilection contributed to his downfall ?

The TVeser Gazette states that the North German Con-
federation is about to ( p3n negotiations with the United
States, Great Britain, and, if occasion require, with other
States, for the purpose of determining some principles of
international law on the subject of the transport of emi-
grants by sea.
The full text of the speech delivered by Baron Beust at
the banquet which terminated the great rifle meeting at
Vienna has been published. The Fp eech was graceful
and eloquent, and appears to have been received with
great enthusiasm. It is vague and indefinite—containing
much about " the billows of discord" as opposed to the
" calm current of peace "—as is the wont of speeches
coming from highly responsible personages. But the
statement that " the policy of Austria no longer presses
itself into the affairs of Germany, and no aspirations after
vengeance fill the public mind in this empire," must fairly
be deemed of some importance. The speech was decidedly
pacific, and, together with the manifesto of tho Emperor
Napoleon at Troyes, ought to produce a good effect.

A short timo ago it wad announced that the Servians
who had been arrested in Hungary for complicity in the
murder of Prince Michael were to be tried at Pesth. It
has been found, however, that some of the facts adduced
in evidence can only be established on the spot, and
accordingly the Hungarian Minister of Justice has been
asked to send three migistrato fo Deign& for the (pur-
