The replacement of General von Falkenstein by General
Manteuffel as commander of the Ist corps d'armde
is the topic of the clay in Prussia. The former
is very popular, the latter just thn reverse. The
part which General Manteuffel played in Schleswig-
Holstein and in the campaign of 1866, in wh-e'l he re-

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 the Emperor
Napoleon at Troyes, ought to produce a good effect.
