,rOtestation of the deputies against the de-

FAObSS1aSlOA VI tHo u6putitS against Tie u0-
cree of the ministry rendering the mem
beers of parliament responsible fer their
speeches. The relations between Austria
and Prussia are no longer so friendly as
they were. The former country is trying
to regain its former position of g liberal
power in Germany. Whilst Prussia is
governing the population of Schleswig
HOlstein with an iron hand, Austria is
allowing them to have it all their own
way. 1t is reported that Herr Won Bis
marck declares 1t impossible for things to
go On in the Duchies in this way any
longer, and he proposes the re-establish-
ment Of a government common to the two
Duchies, which Herr Mensdorff, the
Austrian Minister, has refused. There is
much talk of
A MEETING BETWEEN FRANZ JOSEPH AND
NAPOLEON III
which will be brought about by the inter
vention Of Prince Metternioh, which may
have unpleasant consequences for Prussia.
1t IS certain that the Prussian minister
has proposed to the King to abandon the
idea of annexing the Duchies. to Prussia,
but to attach them to the Prussian crown,
AS is the Duchy of Luxembourg, leaving
them in possession of all their ancient
privileges. 1t is for the execution of their
plan that Herr Won Bismarck is in want OF
Austria, as the latter mach the
Convention of Gartein, and leaves the in
terror government of Holstein TO Prussia.
As Franz Joseph will not agree TO this, it
Is affirmed that Herr Won Bismarck will
carry out his plans, should a rupture be-
tween Austria and Prussia be the 0nse-
quence.
MARSHAL o'DoNNELL
Is playing AZ o Bismarck, in Spain.
The press is now being hunted down; an
editor of one of the first papers was last
week condemned TO seven years imprison-
ment. Order has been r-e-established, but
the shooting Of those led away by Prim
still continues.
The Gillian question is now the order
of the day. The government refuses to
give letters of marque until it is officially
proved that the Chilians have taken a
similar step. The Minister of Finance
assures us that the financial state of the
country IS better than was expected. Pri-
vate correspondence, however, informs US
that such Is not the case, that there Is not
Il maraCedj in the State Golfers, and that
the country is on the eve of bankruptcy,
&c. To all these evils we must add the
campaign against Chill.
PARIS cHIT-cHAT.
I told you in the beginning of my letter.
that all Paris has been dancing for the
last month. There have been a great
many balls in the monde Official, and more
especially masked balls. The vOtaries OF
fashion have been racking their brains to
invent original costumes, as those We have
had hitherto have become stale, fat and
Improbable. Madame -, the wife of
one of the members of the Diplomatic
Corps, appeared at the Admiralty ball as
the Arehangel Michael, which caused
much scandal and Indignation among the
pietists. There is now q great tendency
amongst the ladies to return to the COS
tunes of the time of our mother Eve, as
the dresses are becoming every day more
and more decolletss.
Bat you know that we have full liberty
to do everything we like in Franco save
talking politics. Those who turn up their
noses at the frivolous pleasures of the day,
and spend their time in perusing the
newest literary works of the day as they
appear, viii read VI. james last work,
TRAVELS IN ITALY,
with u~nbounded pleasure. Monsieur
james, is well known for his celebrated
work on the history of English
literature. The mania for writ
ing is now in all classes of society,
and we are shortly to have the Memories
dc PoHcebo, who was executed at Yer
sailles the other day, written by himself
after his condemnation.
The masked balls have been very pre-
judicial to the theatres of Paris during
carnival time However can mention two
novelties, one at the Opera Comique, and
another at the Varieties. The title at the
Opera Is Fiar GAIiza, q subject well
known to,those familiar with the work of
Lamartine. The extravaganza at the "a
Tteties Is called La BGr5e Blue and caused
oar of laughter from beginning
to end This piece will no
doubt haveas great a run rs the same au-

THE TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC
1t Is said, is to visit US in the COM
spring. The weather has been so mild
this winter that the flowers in the gardens
of Paris are beginning to blow, and the
trees are throwing out their leaves. The
is still at Brest, and in Spain, and
it Is generally feared that it will return to
capital, if energetic measures are not
resorted to, to keep it from our doors. We
have not yet entered into Lent and as the
amusements of Paris will be reduced to
concerts and theatres we shall have ample
time to lay in sdck-clo.h and attend to
more religious matters.
The project of making a bridge of
boats between Calais and Dover meets
with much appreciation on this side of the
and Lord Malmesbury, who
AXES great interest in it, has already had
IN audience with the Emperor on the sub
ect.
