FRANCE

A number of Legitimist operatives, amounting to
about 3,000, presented on Monday, through a deputa-
tion maned by them, a memorial to the represen(a-
fives of the Eight, calling upon them to vote against
the law on the press. The address was expected to
appear in the papers of that evening.
A considerable number of the editors of the pro-
vincial journals have arrived in Paris, to impress in
person on the representatives of their respective de-
partments the necessity of also voting against the
law. One in particular, who has great influence iu
his department, and who contributed powerfully to
the success of the Moderate candidate, has declared
that if the law be persevered in by the Government
he will use that influence against its candidates in
any future re-elections.

GERMAN Y.
The Munich Gazette, the official organ of the
Bavarian Government, publishes a reply of the Aus-
trian Cabinet, dated Vienna the 13th, to the collec-
tive note of Bavaria, Saxony, and AVertemburg, for
the constitution of a new federal state in Germany in
opposition to that of Prussia. After some preliminary
observations, the note says :—" These three Govern-
ments propose to form a federal organ, which, by the
simplification of its composition, and the sphere of
its attributes, shall answer its intended purpose,
at the same time that its organization shall remove
all fear of an abuse on the part of any power ;
whilst the convocation of an Assembly of Deputies
would sati.fy the wish for the suitable participation
in the settlement of common affairs." After some
remarks on the nature of the proposition, the note
continues—" The possibility offered to Austria and
to Prussia to accede with all their States to an
Austro-German Federation on such bases, places
the Imperial Government in a position to recon-
cile the political unity of the monarchy, called
for by preponderating reasons, with the obli-
gations which it will have to fulfil as a
member of that Confederation. The establishment
of a superior Tribunal of Arbitration responds
to a want which has been long and generally
felt, and the reserved agreement of an Austro-German
federal representation cn the new constitutional under-
taking fulfils the promise made by the old Federal
Assembly in the name of the Government. The ad-
vantages of this alliance for Germany, as well as for
Austria, as far as concerns material and common
political interests, are too evident for it to be ne-
cessary to here point them out in a particular
manner; but even in a European point of view,
a revision of the original federal treaties, such as
is proposed by the three royal Governments, and
the enlargement of the Confederation resulting
from that revision, does not appear to give rise to any
well-founded objection, as such modifications are
justified by the said treaties as well as by existing
circumstances, and as they must be regarded as na-
tural and even favourable to the general interest."
The Zara Gazette, the Breslau. Gazette, and some
of the Vienna journals, mention a report that the
Austrian Government intends to allow a Russian fleet
to station permanently at Cattaro, in Dalmatia, or
even to cede the port altogether to Russia.
