THE DUCHlES.

The following circular has been issued
by the committee of thirtysix delegates
from the minor German States perma-
nenily in session, 10 all the members Of
popular representations throughout the
country =
"By The Gastein Convention the Co
vernments Of Austria and Prussia have
violated in the MOST fragrant manrer the
c~learest principles ofright, and especially
that of the Duchies TO- settle their own
future, only limited by the ~intercs, of the
German nation. The measures which it
was. to be foreseen would follow this
convention threaten, in addition to Shak-
ing the sentiment of right of the German
people. to annihilate for years the mate
rial and moral prosperity of the Duchies
freed from the Danish yoke by German
blood. The undersigned committee con-
sidefs itself, therefore, in duty bound to
request the re-assembIy of the members
OF German Diets. already unanimously
determined by the special committee of
the Schles wig-Holstein clubs, in order to
discuss and resolve upon the best means
OF saving the condition of public right in
those lands, The committee expects
that the German delegates. who solemn
iy promised at the meeting of Dec. 81,
1868, and by the protest handed in at
The London Conference of April, 1864,
to advocate the free right of seIf-dispo-
sal ofthe Duchies, and to support their
rights generally, will now redeem this
promise by their appearance at the new
assembly. The undersigned accordingly
invites all present, members of German
Diets, 10 . meeting at Frankfort on Sun

THE DAVENPORTS IN PARIS.
COMPILE rE EXPOSURE.

A Paris correspondent writes on We'd
nesday:-
"The Davenport Brothers appeared for
the first and probably the last time in
Paris yesterday evening. They had taken
the precadlion to print upon the tickets
(price IS francs each) q notice that the
spectators must implicitly obey the in
structions of the interpreter. Notwith-
standing the price charged the room was
filled, but already before the commence
ment of the performance there were
symptoms that things would not pass SO
quietly as in the private abode of the
adopts. NJ. Robin had the evening be-
tore given an exhibition very closely re-
scmbllng the spiritual manifestations Of
which the par fr0tr~m are the mediums,
SO that the audience was not only criti-
cal, but well up in the subject. Some
delay occurred in commencing the per-
formance /; q meagre band of musicians

THE GAsTElN CONVENTION.

The Paris correspondent of the Inde-
pendences Beige asserts that the Russian
Government has sent a circular TO its di-
plomatic agents abroad, respecting the
Gastein Convention, in accordance with
The. circulars Of the English and French
Governments. The same correspondent
also learns from the best sources that
England. France and Russia long since
exchanged views respecting the Duchies,
and that a perfect agreement exists be-
tween the three Powers in their manner
Of viewing the S~aIzhurg treaty.

confidential preliminary meeting is to be
held on Saturday, September 80, in the
evening. Signed on behalf Of the COM
mittee,
CDR. SIEGMUND MULLER"
The semi-oficial Norddeatsche AHgemet-
ne Zeitung denies that The Cabinets of
the Tuilrries and st. James's, upon re-
ceiving information Of the Gastein Con-
v%enlion, declared that as it was Of q pro-
visiohal character they would reserve
their Judgment until a definite settlement
should be arrived at. The NorddeutSche
then continues 1.-THE text of q pretend
ed circular Of the French Government,
reproduced by the Patrie from a Belgian
paper, is a pure invention. The West
ern Powers simply acknowledged the re-
ceipt of the notification of the Conven-
ton without comment"
The Putris says that Ear! Russell has
addressed a circular note to the British
agents abroad, in which his Iordship ex-
presses the same views upon the GaStein
Convention as the Cabinet of the Tuiler-
les, and in which be declares t~extualIy
that the Convention is an act unworthy
OF The present age.
The Ministerial Provincial Corresp0qn-
denz of Berlin says THE payment of
the indemnity to Austria for the Duchy
of Lauenhurg will be made for the pre-
sent from the Kings privy purse. The
occupation of Lauenburg will take place
without delay. Count Armin Boytzen-
burg, formerly Minister of State, has
been appointed Commissioner in that
Duchy, and will proceed thither very
shortly. Further settlement of the posi-
ton of L%auenburg towards the Prussian
Crown has been postponed"
The Provincial Correspondent also pub
fishes a leading article upon the policy
pursued by Prussia and the Gastein Con-
v%ention, concluding as follows :-"The
Prussian stipuIatious Of February remain
in full force, for they still exist, although
an important change has undoubtedly
taken place. On the one hand, the esta-
bIlshment of another Government in the
Duchics is no longer dubious; and on
the other Austria, in addition to the total
cession Of Laurnhurg, has readily yielded
in the present provisional slate of affairs
to the most material demands made by
Prussia in February. Thus, the Gastein
Convention, maintaining the present ami
cable relations between the two Powers,
is an important step towards the fulfil
ment of the hopes and demands of Prus-
sia."

RAILWAY Posi- OrrICEs-The system
Of distributing letters, and making up
mails on board the trains, instead of vast
ing the time heretofore consumed in these
processes in the Offices, is fast being
adopted on. our lines of railroad. Five
lines running westward from Chicago.
have now the Improvement in use. They
are the roads running to Burlington, to
Quincy, to Davenport. to Cedar Rspids
and to Dunleith. The Illinois Central
and st. Louis roads are also preparing to
extend the required facilities to the postal
department, and a through line from Chi
cago to the East is nearly completed.
The advantages Of the system are safli-
GENTLY shown in the fact that GO,Ol2 let
tiers recently passed through Chicago in
one week, on each Of which saving Of
nearly twelve hours Of time was affected.
1t is but simple justice to the several rail-
road companies above named, to say that
they have shown themselves. not only
willing, but anxious to do all in their pow
er'to serve the residents along the lines Of
road under their supervision.

tor Of the plan, meets with little but tho
most gratifying encouragement in the de-
