The particulars Of the assault are briefly told.
| Her majesty, accompanied by her children and
| Lady Joceyn, called yesterday upon she Duke OF
Cambridge, about six o'clock in the evening
| About the same time, and while the carriage was
within the gates Of Cambridge house, man, pe.
| specially dressed, and TO outward appearance a
gentleman, was observed lettering about the en-.
trance, and as though waiting for the departure OF
the Queen. No notice was taken Of 30 common a
circumstance that gentleman should interrupt
his walk for few minutes in order 10 ace the
Queen drive past A little after six the carriage
drove out, and just passing into the road

struck smart blow at the Queens iace. The
blow took effect upon her majesty's check, and
crushed her bonnet Owe her forehead. The ruttan
was instantly seized by the bystapders his stick
was wrested from him, and he was conveyed 10 the
station house. The Queen proceeded 70 Hnckng-
ham Palace, and haa sustained 20 little injury from
this dasardly assault that she was able to appear
at the opera IN the course Of the evening,
Her majesty betrayed no feeling OF alarm, and
Immediately after the occurrence drove up PIC
cadlly on her return to buckingham Palace, the
mark Of loyalty and affection which her complete
self possession enabled her TO acknowledge with
her usual courtesy and condescension.
In order to correct an erroneous impression very
likely to prevail after reading the exaggerated re.
ports which appeared In the evening papers, may
be well to stale that the small stick with which the
prisoner struck the blow was not thicker than an
ordinary goosequillthat it measured only two feet
two inches in length, and weighed less than three
ounces OF course such weapon as this could not,
under any circumstances, occasion very serious in
jury, and her majesy's appearance within two
hours in the royal box at the Covont Garden Italian
Opera proves beyond all possibility of doubt that
she has not sustained much injury.

PARIs, FRIDAY, June 81.
General Lahitte announced this afternoon in the
National Assembly that the question between the
English and French governments was arranged,
the cabinet of her Britannia Majesty having con-
scented to accept the treaty of London. and to sub
stitute for the provisions Of the arrangement con-
cludcd at Athens the 9th of April the CORE
spending stipulatons of the cont cntion agreed 10
in London ON The 18th OF the same month. lie
added that the French government consequently
accepted that solution.
Ii is rumored that a contradiction will be Civcrs
by the government, through the press TO the ale.
CATION respecting Baron Gros not having commu-
nicated the fact of the London convention to Mr..
Wyse in due time,
We are happy to find that the difference between
ii. -. :. a
brought 10 n close by the adoption of lloBe terms
Of the convcntion OF London which were refused on
the l4ih May. We do not presume to blame lord
Palmerston for any amount of submission 10 which
he may have been reduced in order to escape from
the consequences of this pitiful AFFAIR." bet it must
be obvious to all the world that our English" min
ister has been compelled in this instance TO surren-
der at discretion 20 the not very mild circumstances
of General Lahittc. In some respects therefore,
this termination Of the French quarrel does not d.
ininish the weight of ccnsurc against the plumbers
out Of which 1t nrusc.-Lordon Time'.
Germany.
The idea Of Third German Union, discussed somo
time since, has been formally avowed and proposed
TO be carried into effect by the government Of Han
over. Ii is the plan Of a north German union, TO
be formed Of Hanover Oldenburg, the free cities
and those smaller States that naturally allied TO
Hanover. The principle of the alliance Ia that Of
frcc-tredc, which, 20 these States, is essential 10
their material interests The movement Of the
south German manufacturers ia favor Of High pro-
tcctyc duties, sanctioned by the Prussian minister
Of commerce, has induced Hanover 10 announce
distinctly the plan Of this third Bund. Il has
municatcd the design Of the union in note al
ready communicated 10 the Scuatcs Of Hamburger
and Bremen, and TO the governments of Oldcuburg
aud Prussia, in which il fret enters into long
gumcnt 10 show that Hanover neither legally nor
virtually bas now any connection with the Prussian
union OF May 20, 1912 IL adds, also, that II was
not invited TO attend the congress Of princes Ia Bcr
lin, at which the final scccptatUn Of that union by
the several States was 10 be concluded; and con-
cludcs therefore, that the omission of the invitation
equivalent TO a recognition by Prussia that it
had ceased 10 be member Of it's Bund. The note
then describes the geographical position and tho
special interest that make such an alliance as that
proposed matter OF necessity, and urges the adj
vsntages of an independent legislation in CONNER
cial questions, fixing duties, &c, the grounds
for the sccoptation Of the plan by oldenburg and
the Iiausc towns II any further explanation IL
required by the governments and authorities, IL
viii be readily given.
A thc Bund thus proposed will be more than
commercial union, and form political pact also,
il may be easily anticipated that the reply Of Prus-
sia to the note will be ono Of disapprobaton and
Encouragement Some Of tho States thus invited
to new combination arc already bound to Prus
sia.
