visions in the villages occupied by the allies.

erals were killed, but four or five were wound
ed Several colonies and numerous other Off
GERS were killed or wounded.

The Attitude. of Germany.
AT Frankfort on the I'd inst, in the Federal
Diet the proposition of Prussia to place corps
of observation in the upper Rhine was almost
unanimously agreed to. Representatives from
several governments were without instruc-
lions. On the 4th there was an extraordinary
sitting of the Diet when Prussia presented
new and further proposals respecting the es-
tabishment, extension and commandments
of said corps of observation Immediately
after the sitting, NJ. de Usedoru left for Berlin.
A dispatch has been issued by the French
government to the representatives at foreign
courts, making known the opinion of the
French government as to the policy and atti-
.tude of Germany The dispatch fully endorses
the circular sent by the Russian cabinet to its
agents in Germany, declaring the opinion OF
Russia that the confederation had not on
Nv no grounds for interference in the present
war, but Germany by mixing in the conflict
would depart from her treaties, and this opin-
ion the French dispatch declares to be true
and just.
The new Prussian military measures have
not inspired the French government with UNI
easiness as France cannot disagree with the
views stated by Prussia for taking steps. The
dispatch concludes by stating that without be-
ing vet officially acquainted with the views OF
England, France is authorized to draw from
the circumstance of their coming into power
most favorable conclusions for Italy.
Prussia, it is said, has given tranquilizing
assurances to the French Government. A
Rerlin correspondent of the Times says the
Prussian proposals were in the hands of Rus
sia. and the writer says, by the end OF the
week. the Prussan army will be III full march.
Two corps d'armee will be stationed on the 81
lesian frontiers, in case of an unexpected at
tacl, On the part of Russia. On the lower and
middle Rhine, 100000 Prussians will be sta
toned When these preparations are COM
Melted Prussia will probably make her propos-
ais 10 France. and this will unquestionably be
refused. The same correspondent gives an
outline of the proposals, which include the
erection of Venice into separate kingdom,
with the Archduke Macmillan as King.
The Papal States.
Jnnuirv into the late disturbances at Perugia
have been ordered.
An official condemnation by the French gov
eminent of an article which appeared in the
Paris Steele afiirms that respect for the papacy
forms a part of the programme which the EN-
peror is carrying out in Italy. The response
bility of the conflict at Perugia is cast upon
those who compelled the pontitcal government
TO make use of armed force for legitimate de-
fence.
