the straits to which Count Bis
mark has brought Europe to warrant
considerable alarm. nothing has really hap
Pened to preclude the possibility Of the
maintenance Of peace. We find, on the con-
tFary, TINT the Emperor Of Russia Is using lis
great influence to avert war, and the masses
Of the German people arc holding public
meetings to the same end in every part Of the
Fatherland, while the Bavariau and other
German Governments work In similar Jencft-
cent direction.
Count Bismark, in the meanwhile, finding
his attempt to ignore or s'lrplant the Federal
Diet OF Frankfort altogether abortiyc, has
taken the Initiative in causing the Pr1ssian
Representative to convene on the 9th instant
an extraordinary meeting Of the German Diet
for the purpose Of making the following prop
osi;ions:
IL. Tint an assembly shoull be convened,
" composed or members directly elected
" throughout Germany by universal suffrage,
ITO meet upon day 10 bc appointed, in
''osder to receive proposals 10 be laid before
" the German Governments for reform Of
p" Federal Constitution.
" ?. That negotiations should in the mean
:" inc take place between the various Goy-
g seiulnents tu settle the above proposals.
"A motion brought forward By tue Aus
" trim Representative, as President Of the
:" Dict, demanding the immediate comnuni-
:" cation 10 the Federal Governments OF the
" pe1,ssian motion, was agreed TO.
The Prussian Representative advocated
'ttle earliest possible appointment of com.
- *'mittec for the examination of the proposal
" made by this Govc1n,ncnt.''
While this proposition indicates an intcu-
tion 10 attempt settlement of the present
complications through tue German Dict and
tile German people, the latter will not sacrifice
themselves either tor Holenzol!ern or for
1lapsburg, and are, On the contrary resolved,
Us we have anticipated, to use the armed con-
t1ict between these two rival dyuasties tor the
rindication Of their own liberties.
At Nuremberg, one Of the most ancient aud
historic towns OF Germany, several thousand
citizens assembled o few weeks ago for the
purpose OF proclaiming ''tlat if Austria and
"Prussia were to come to blows the people in
the minor States, at length freed from The
pressure Of The -iustrtdn and Irussian armies,
"so long ,reighing then, dopn, shall acQH teu.-

At Stuttgart, the committee Of the Liberal
party Of Wurtembu1g Issued the following
proclamation:
