The foreign files up to the 25th ult., received
70 day, bring confirmation OF the arms ice
reports gwen by the Atlantic Cable, and some
details OF recent operations OF tne Pru'slan
force, The Berlin correspondent ot the London
Times describes
THE OCCUPATION OF THE SMALLER GERMAN STATES.
Excepting the 0denwald hills, all DaImstadt,
inclusive OF the capital, Is now occupied bv the
Prussans. The Grand Duke and Herr Won Dal.
WICK, his PrussOphobe Minister, have fled to
Munich. Prince Charles OF Hesse and his CON
Sort a PnIssian Princess, together with Prluc ass
Alice, the vile of Prince Ludwig, their son, are
reported TO be staying at DarmStIdt
The Duchy OF Nassau also has been entirely
soverrun since my last, an event leading to the
immediate decampment OF the petty tyrant SO
long lite sovereign. Before ab ,cending, Duke
.Adolph-the NEST hated, perhaps. among toe
German potentates, whose every act has been
denounced by his par lament, and whose very
existence on the sovereign list would naye long
been impossible had he not reigne6 under the
shadoW OF the Austrian Oayonets at Frankfort
and MaYence-before abscondlng, this model
ruler had the lmpudenCe to issue procllma'
ton to the Nassauers, in which he charged them
to remain "as true to him as they hau al FaFs
been" To this modest request vas added the
consOling assurance that, as they were his
Landesklnder, he would care and toll tor their
interests whether in their midst or NOE. Landes-
kinder, indeed In one sense lie Roi d'TVetot,
400, was the father OF hls people.
The conquest of Nassau was not complete
until the fortress protecting the territory 0t this
the name OF this redoubtable STRONGHOLD. Is
situate near Coblentz, on the Nassau side of the
Rhine. 1t consists of one tower, rather the
worse TOR wear, and in its romantic position, on
q viDec'ad hill, may be occasionally mistaken
for positive run and regular medieval Zion"
BY the benighted foreigner. In its rickety
chambers an old hali-pay captain has long re-
sided in luxurious ease, and the tact of his boast
ing the title OF Commander of the Fortress
has been ever regarded as the most conclusive
proof to be adduced that the fortress really
exists.
THE PRUssIAN CoNsCRIPTIoN.
Prusslan reinloreemonts have been sent to
Bohemia to ma &c up Tor the troops detached to
watch OlmutZ aud KOniggratz. While the peo-
pie believe III a speedy restoration OF peace, the
Government are preparing against the Contin-
eency OF prolonged war. The conscrlpton Of
sixty thousand men is scarcely over, and the
embodiment OF the second ban OF the landwehr
consisting OF one hundred and twenty thousand
men not vet concluded, when new enlistment
Is reported to be contemplated for the beginning
of August.
THE ARMIsTICE.
The London Times ofJuly "a says:-
1.-THE five days armstiCe between Prussia and
Austria has Depn accepted, and the two powers
enDsent to take into consideration the prelmI-
naries of peace, the main point OF viii 'h-the
exclusion OF Austria from the German Confede-
raton-ls already admitted by Austria. Peace
NAV therefore be looked upon as virtually CON
euded. We need hardly dwell upon the unutter-
able reliet with which these glad tIdings will be
received throughout the world. The tecm5 now
agreed upon do not, in al probability, materially
after th1 Ce Gays battle before the ramparts of
FlOndso~f. Humanity is, therefore, the gamer
by all the blood thar would have oeen split in
such Wanton slaughtern
