PARIS, Friday, March, 3, 1865.
German politics are usually made up of such
long discussions and slow progress, TINT ono
rarely has courage to enter upon them until
the appearance Of some practical conclusion
presents itself. Such IN unusual termination
seems now to be In view with respect to tho
1nal disposition Of the two Duchies, which
have been tom from Denmark. At least the
1foaitcur Itself treats us authentic the propo-
sails which have been somo time since an
npunced as submitted by Prussia to AustrIa
on tbls subject, and which appear to be as
fl llows:
In the first place, as regards the military
forces Of the new States reincorpo-
rated with Germany, these are to be
enrolled and organized on the
same system as that observed IN
Prussia, and are to be placed and to act
under tie command Of that p,wer. Next, as
regards nayal arrangement, the port OF Kiel
is to be converted into q naval arsenal, and
tint also is to be placed under the authority
Of Prussia. The maritime population, too, Of
the Dnchies is to serve the time required of
It by the naval conscription on board Of Prus-
sian vessels Of war. With regard to CONNER
cial arTangements,a a canal is to be constructed
to put the Baltic In communication with the
North Sea. The construction Of this csnal is
to be contracted to Prussian company, and
The safe custody oflt is to be also certified
to the Ptussian government. 4 commercial
po1t ts to be conceded to Prussia at the en-
france Of the canal on the shores Of the Bal
tic; and last, though not perhaps least In
flucntial In lis effect, the postal and tclegra-
fIan na $tiaf u.

Berlin.
Such are .he proposals Of Prussia for d
sss IT of political and commercial union''
between herself and the newly acquitted Ger
nan territory, and which, rs ,hs 4 Monitsur sig

tulnly very diff rent from mere confederation
in The old German sense OF the word. In fact,

tor the present, they fnevitably imply ab-

TO be any likelihood that Prussia will recede
frt n these propositions now that she has put
them forth. 1hersmaller German States are
alt. se,hcr impotent to prevent her carrying
:! this arrangement into execution aud even
