leon has made pacific speech in response
to the address of the French Senate
The new French loan is to be raised by
public subscription. The business of the
new rebel Minister in France is to notify
Napoleon of the recognition Of the Empire
in Mexico by JEFF Davis, and to beg the
recognition of the confederacy by France
in return for this valuable service There
is no change in the Schleswig- lolstein
question. Denmark will not Iorcibly OPP
pose the Federal execution. The King
of Denmark will Withdraw his forces from
Holstein, but will not acknowledge the
execution. In spite of the ministerial
explanations, the Prussian chambers have
voted an address to the King, and refused
to vote the proposed loan. Twenty-Five
thousand Swedish troops, headed by the
King, are in motion, in which direction it
is not stated.
