bring us-the details OF the foreign
news. by the steamer Gernania, to
the 18th inst. The Austrian e9lbas-
sador had left Berlin, on the 18th, by
the order of his Government, which,
according to the despatch of Count
Bismark, puts an end to all friendly
relations between the two countries
The Austrians have withdrawn from
Holstein, and the Prussians are now
in possession of that Duchy.
The London Times, of the 18th,
says:
"The whole country is now hushed
in expectation of the first cannon
shot. Armies more numerous and
complete have seldom been arrayed
against each other. According to
trustworthy estimates, the Austrian
army will number not far from $780,
900 men, while the Prussians have
280, 900 in the field, with f. reserve of
SO, 900 between Berlin and the Saxon
frontier"
The Paris PresSe says:
: ''The Emperor of Mexico had re-
quested financial assistance from
France, declaring his intention to
abdicate unless such assistance were
afforded. The French Government,
it is added, had resolved to refuse
this demand, and instructed Marshal
Bazaine to institute fresh Ple5isci-
tum in case the Emperor Maximilian
should carry out his intention of ab-
dicating."
From the letter read to the Corps
Legislatiff, from Louis Napoleon, it
would appear that France will remain
quiescent for the present.
