PARIS, Aug. 26.

The Moniteur contains a report of Marshal Vail-
lant's speech at Dijon on Monday in opening the
Councils-General.

After pointing out the abundant harvest just
gathered in, he said :—" This abundance is the
more to be appreciated because it occurs amidst the
most reassuring circumstances. The Emperor said
very recently that peace must not be disturbed, and
that everything promised well for its duration. In-
deed, gentlemen, abundance in peace, but in a peace
that has not been preserved at the cost of patriot-
ism—you have there in two words the position of
our country."

Several journals have announced that the bishops
of Linz and of Brunn had placed themselves in
open opposition to the new Constitutional laws of
Austria, by refusing to remit to the civil autho-
rities the documents concerning marriages. The
Government was also said to have summoned those
prelates to obey within a fortnight. We find in
the General Correspondence, of Vienna, some details
respecting this affair :—" A few days back," says the
Austrian journal, " the tribunal of this city notified
to the Episcopal Consistory that a commission
would shortly be issued to take possession of the
documents in the custody of the Council having
charge of matrimonial causes. The members of the
Commission did in fact repair to the place, but the
directors of the Consistorial Chancery refused to
give up the records, on which the tribunal referred
the matter to a superior Court. The ulterior mea-
sures to be taken against the Bishop of Trieste and
his brethren of Linz and Brunn have lately been
the object of declarations on the part of the Minis-
try of Justice, and the question has been solved.
The decision is that the deposit in the tribunals of
the documents in question will not be insisted on ;
inasmuch as, according to the law, only such docu-
ments as the Courts may require in each particular
case can be demanded." If this statement can be
relied on, the prelates in question cannot have been
summoned to yield within a fortnight.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE

New colours were presented to the 67th Regi-
ment, under the command of Col. Thomas, yester-
day, by Lady Buller, in the Governor's-green, at
Portsmouth. The regiment was drawn up in line
on the Green at half-past 11, when a brilliant and
numerous company were assembled to witness the
ceremony. Lady Buller, accompanied by Major-
General Sir G. Buller, K.C.8., commanding the
South-Western district, and his Staff, arrived on
the ground at 12 o'clock, when the old colours were
trooped to the rear of the regiment, the band play-
ing " Auld lang syne ;" after which the regiment
formed three sides of a square, and the band taking
up their position in front, the drums of the regi-
ment were piled and the new coloursplaced on them.
Lady Buller, with the General and his Staff, ad-
vanced to the front, Colonel Thomas and two of
the majors of the regiment took their stations in the
rear, while the Venerable Archdeacon Wright and
the Rev. Mr. Orr, chaplain to the forces, occupied
positions on the right and left. The band then
played and sung a suitable hymn, after which the
Archdeacon proceeded to the ceremony of conse-
crating the colours. This being concluded Lady
Buller, in a most suitable speech, in which she
enumerated the good deeds of the regiment, pre-
sented the new colours in the name of her Majesty.
Lieut.-Col. Thomas, on behalf of himself, officers,
and men, thanked Lady Buller for the kindness she
had shown in presenting the colours, and the good
wishes she had expre: sed, and trusted the regiment
would always merit the good opinion expressed by
her. The officers subsequently gave a d'jeuner in
Anglesea Barracks. The men of the regiment were
not forgotten. Theypartook of an excellent dinner,
while the children were regaled with a tea. The
sergeants will give a ball this evening.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg published the fol-
lowing telegram :—"Cologne, Aug. 13, 1868.—The Kul-
nische Zeitung says that during his sojourn at Paris Lord
Stanley insisted upon the absolute necessity of preserving
peace, and led it to be understood that England was ready
to support any scheme for a disarmament. His lordship
said that it was easy to give to the Conference, which is
to meet at St. Petorsburgh in October, the occasion of
opening negociations to that effect."
