The City of Paris brings Liverpool

are not yet untangled. No definite re-
suits had been obtained by the negotia-

entertained. Prussia is firm, and it is now
said that she has declined to accept the
terms OF the armistice. The Vienna pa
pers say that Napoleon will interpose
armed mediation in case his peaceful
efforts are not successful. The Italians
appear equally as firm as Prussia, and are
advancing into Venetia in spite of French
orders. Two French squadrons were un-

russians are reported to be marching on
Frankfort, which was being put in state

believe that the continent is on the brink

served his country faithfully during the

disahles him from following many active

he isn't popular enough or Objectionable,

head and front of patent democracy-the,
two Soldiers Clymer Club orators-are
not even honored with recommendation
for County Auditor.
