"BERLIN, Friday, July 22d.-The official
Prnsstan ffazsfe contains the following:
1.-THE various erroneous opinions which
have been of late promulgated, as regards the
objects Prussia had in her endeayors for me-
diation, have induced the Prussian Cabinet to
address the following correctional circular dis
patch TO the En- basses in Germany:
"Count Rechberg, Immediately after his re-
turn from Verona, said to the Royal Prussian
Ambassador at Vienna, as follows: Austria
has accepted the preliminaries of peace, prin-
cipally because the conditions of mediation
proposed by the neutral great Powers were
less favorable for Austria than those upon
which the Emperor of the French desired to
treat
of the 18th inst, expressed himself TO the same
effect:
..'To the circular of Count Rechberg, recent
ly confined to me, a project of mediation, said
to be communicated to France by England,
was added to the conditions Of which Prussia
| should have consented. The Maiaser Journal
of to-day also publishes the above project.
"'You are authorized to express most posi-
lively,
"'i. That on the side of Prussia no condi-
tions of a mediation whatever had been ad-
vanced, nor have any such, coming from any
other Power, been accepted by her.
"'2. That the project added to the Austrian
circular, and since published in the newspa-
pers, was entirely unknown to us.
Berlin, July 2l. VoN SCHLEINITZ.''
BERLIN, Thursday.-The Prussian Gazette
mentions the news published by the Mayence
Gazette of this day respecting certain propo-
sails of mediation made by the great Powers,
and declares that the communication, as far as
it corcerns Prussia, is void of foundation.
THE GERMANIC CONFEDERATION.
A letter from Munich, on the 18th inst, says
The members of the Chamber of Deputies
have already held a preparatory meeting, and
it is said that they are all agreed that reform
al hn German Federal G
Bile. That question will form the basis of the
address which will be presented to the King"
A meeting of men of the Democratic party
from all parts of Germany has been held at
Eisenach. The following resolutions were
agreed to:
1. We see in the present condition of affairs
great dangers to the independence Of our Ger
man fatherland. and these dangers have been
increased rather than diminished, by the
peace just concluded between France and
Austria.
. These dangers have their ultimate cause
in the faults of the Federal Constitution of
Germany, and they can only be averted by a
speedy modification of that Constitution.
3. With that object, 1T is necessary that the
Germanic Diet should be replaced by Central
Government of Germany, tirm strong, and
permanent, and that q National Assembly shall
be conyoked.
4. Under present circumst stances the proper
steps for attaining that object can only eman-
ate from Prussia, and it is therefore necessary
to use every effort TO induce Prussia to take
the initiative.
S. With that object, and to preserve more
eficc cctualiy the foreign interests of Germany,
it is eXpedient Professionally, and until the
definitiye constitution of the central German
Government. to confer on Prussia the drec-
ton of the German military forces, and the
diplomatic representation of Germany abroad
g. 1t is the duty of every German to SuDDort
with all his might the Prussian Government
rs far as it tends to this object; and assuredly
the German people will not shrink from any
sacrifice required by the independence, unity,
and happiness of the German fatherland.
The Federal Council, on the 2lst ult., unani-
mously agreed to the proposals of Austria and
Prussia respecting the restoration of the Fed
eral conungents and fortresses to peace foot
ing.
At the Brussels Chamber of Representatives,
