A miracle is alleged to have recently taken
psce in the church of Saturnin, canton and arron-
basement Of Apt, department Of the Naucluse,
consisting in the flowing OF blood from picture
representing the descent OF Jesus Cnrist
from the cross. The occasion was tae

officer of gen d. armes, and sub-Preiect. Rosette
on being Intercepted by the sub Preiect, SAID
1God had effected this miracle for the conversion
of sinners, and He had specially chosen st. Sstqr-
nn because, four years ago, this locality was the
witness ofa great scandal. Her conduct she sd-
ded, had been outrageously illuminated, as alse
that of priest; but she had not demanded repair
alton from God" .
The blood which oozes from the painting is said
10 haye been analy sed by two medical men, who
have declared that its chemical composition ex-
actly corresponds with that OF human blood.
From GERMANY we hear of the opening of the
Dresden Free Conferences with all due ceremony.
The German papers publish the text of the open
ing speeches Of the Austrian and Prussian Min
listers.
Prince Schwsrzenburg said
"GEETLEMEN: trust that it is not only the COM
mon and great object Of this meeting which unites
as here, bat that every one of us is impressed
with desire to see that object attained in the
shortest possible time, and TO contribute to such
attainment.
1.-THE readiness which those who sent you
showed in answering to the invitations OF Austria
and Prussia and the choice which they made of
aheir Representatives, are guarantee for the
harmony and the successful issue Of our endeavors
1.-THE Germanie Confederation, which was pro.
duced by necessity which was inculcated by the
teachings of a most eventful period, has for 80
years been the guardian Of the general peace to
ihe preservation of whichit has materially contr
buted.
ain the interior of Germany, too, that Confede-
ration has wrought great benefits, although there
are many who would not or could not understand
and acknowledge thus much, because the Conted-
Grafton did not act according to the leanings Of
1heir minds, or because it did not at once realize
all those benefits the germs OF which had most
providentially been deposited in its Constitution.
This latter reproach, although possibly founded
on truth, may still be met by the consideration
that absolute perfection is stranger TO all hu-
man things and undertakings
But the incontestable advantages OF the Con
federation are apparent from review OF the Z.
great blessings which Germany enjoyed under
Its protection and of the present state of things,
of which the development 10 owing to time In
which that protection could no longer be etiectual.
and sufficient.
THAT time, too, has become lesson to US, and
it has again served 10 warn us to make use Of our
dearly bought experience.
THAT experience has shown the futility of all
attempts to create an absolute novelty. 1t has
shown that the foundations which the COnfede
ration reclnes are not only good and servlceaole,
but that they are the ones which are suitable Tor
a fabric in which community OF STATESMEN as
Germany includes-can be expected TO live IN
harmony, and in a state of general property
But that experience has likewise shown the short
comipgs of the Federal Constitution such as 1t
hitherto has been and it has pointed out the spots
where remedies ought TO be applied. Among
these mention the strengthening OF the cme1 or
gan OF the Confederation by arrangements which
will enable it for the future to stem the tide Of re-
rolution and to protect the principle OF monarchy
"Gentlemen their recognition OF this truth sug-
gests our obligations and duties at this place,
viz: the revision of the Federal Act, and of the
laws which emanated theretrom.
"Let us make the original Federal Constitution
abe basis and the starting point OF our negotiations
Get it be our object to complete that Constitution
by the lessons of experience, and with consider
alton to the real desires and the welfare OF our
common country; let us create supreme federal
board, which shall be sufficiently strong to protect
2he individual Governments against the enemies
of order and to preserve the most sacred blessings
OF society.
1--WE shall thus answer TO the claims of Justice,
of equity and to the suggestions OF soand policy,
and of the duties to which those who sent us are
bound by sacred treaties and engagements among
themselves and to their peoples. have not the
least doubt, gentlemen that your Governments,
as well as yourselves, concur with this view OF
Abe situation, which sm instructed to submit to
you on the part of His Majesty the Emperor, my
gracious master.
FIVE are aged as to the starting point, the
direction and the object Of our endeavors, we are
certain OF success.
"Let US then honestly and confidently and with
the blessing Of God, begin the work, and success
will be ours.
"The country, whose prosperity has been shaken
from the pressure Of existing circumstances-the
country, gentlemen, watches our proceedings with
expectant interest and it's hopes of better future
are bound up with their results.
"These results only can secure order, Legality
