THE POSITION OF PRUSSIA.

THE POSITION OF PRUSSIA.
Berlin, Thursday. Prussia has demanded
permission to march thirty. one thousand troops
through Hanover to the Rhine between the first
and fifth of July. The Guards will remain at
Berlin and Pots,Iam and six regiments of CAV
airy and Infantry will be cautioned in the prov
ince Of BrandenDurg three corps d'armee will
take up positions between the lower and CEN
trail Rhine. Two other corps d'armee will be
stationed on the Rhine and the river Mantle
One of these corps will proceed to their destina-
tion through Silesia, Saxony and Bavaria. The
departure of the troops will take place about
the first of July.
The Independence gives another version of the
propositions which Prussia is said to have made
for the establishment of peace, but does not
guaranty their authenticity. According to the
later information, Prussia proposes that Lom-
hardy be annexed to Piedmont, Parma. Modena
and Tuscany be restored to their legitimate SOW
eregns; the authority of the Pope re establish
ed in the Legations Venice to become indie
pendent, and the four famous iortresses Of the
Minclo annexed to the German Confederation,
thus preventing an aggressive return to Lom-
hardy on the part of Austria, and thwarting
the aggrandislng prospects of Piedmont
has to play just now is very complex, owing to
her European and Germanc interests crossing
each other at several points, the Daily NecS
shows the meaning of the advance of Prusian
troops to the Rhine. The Prussan government
has announced its intention to interfere diplo-
matcaly for the restoration of peace, but it
has not yet thought it time to propose a basis
for pacifcation to France.

after a grave disagreement with France, such as
the rejection Of an offer Of mediation, would
have a seriousness which would be incontestible;
but that is not the question. Much remains to
be done before case for the employment OF
Prussian troops can arise. Prussia arms in or
der that when the time for mediation comes she
may interfere with effect
The Journal DIES debats asserts that the Bava-
rian government has refused to allow Prussiar
troops to pass through its territory until the
Prussian Cabinet have answered series of ques
lions as to the meaning and purpose of the res,

The basis of mediation proposed at Berlin fol
the termination of the war being certain of re
lection by the Emperor Napoleon, it is conse
quently concluded that Prussia will 90 to war
