Opinions of the French Press ON tn e
approaching european War. r-
New YORK, April H. The steamer
America from Southampton, the 18th, has
arrived. 80 F,-.. -. o.
Times believes some means should be fouI d
to reconcile-t the conflicting pretensions be-
tween France and Prussia.
La Presse says: However there is one
point, and one only, on which France can
not accept of any compromise, and that Is
the presence of Prussian soldiers in Lux
emburg.
IG is announced that the factory of Steel
lieni has Just delivered 10000 needle guns
to the French Minister OF War. The estab-
lishment is said to be in position to be able
to claim the premium of $4,000 francs offer
ed by the Government for the completion
OF 100000 rifles by the end OF April.
The La France says the news circulated
about calling out the reserve is devoid OF
all foundation.
The Gazette of France says: If we are
well informed, the Florence Cabinet has
already caused it to be intimated to the
French Government that in case of a war
between France and Prussia, Italy would
be on the side of her allies OF 1856. NJ. Re-
colsoli, on the contrary. is inclined toward
the Prussian and Ministerial crisis, which
is not quite over. Though a RattaZzi Min
istry is constituted, it is said to have been
occasioned especially by the question of al
lance with view to the approaching Eu-

Debate i'm North German Parliament.
New YORK, April 2S.-The new steamer
Cambria, from Southampton, April IL, ar
rived this A. M. The Paris Presse has a
rumor that Bismark would resign, in con-
sequence of difference of opinion between
himself and King Lamer, being unwilling
to accept the evacuation of Luxembourg on
principle. 1t was said the Count Won
Dere oltz would succeed him. Reports are
current of the arrest OF Prussian officer
by the French authorities at Theonville,
and of the arrest of French officer at
Mayence and London, but they were de-
cIared unfounded. A circular from the
French War office, fixes the price of eX-
emption, from military service at 1900
francs, for 1867, and each year remaining at
600 francs. i -. ..'N
In the North German Parliament Bismark
made speech, announcing his concurrence
in amendment to draft a Federal Coustitu-
tion by which the strength of the army on
peace footing would remain unaltered.
until the comnOn Federal code laws could
be promulgated. He opposed the amend
ment that the next five years should be
considered years of transaction, and that
after that period, owing to the peace foot
ing, should be maintained at the same
strength as hitherto, until the promulga-
ton of the general code of laws, when the
army expenses should nevertheless be fixed
by special law, on the basis of the hith-
erto existing Organization. .
The amendment that Bismarck support
ed was rejected by 167 against ITO.
Then Bismarck urgently requested the
House to pass an amendment which would
leave the Government the choice OF time
for promulgating the common Federal
code of laws and saying, unless the amend
ment was adopted, the Federal Government
would not agree to the draft, and the task
of drawing up the Constitution might pos
sibly, at the last moment, be frustrated.
Notwithstanding this, the amendment
was rejected-l57 against 119.
The amendment which Bismarck oppos-
ed was then adopted--202 against 80.
All remaining articles of the draft were
then adopted. -<
The Polish members who had sup
ported Bismarck then resigned their seats
in consequence, they said, of the failure OF
the last attempt to prevent an act of ViO-
lence committed by their interpretations in
the North German Confederation.
The Italian Government has given very
stringent orders to prevent or repress any
attempt to violate Pontifical territory.
The Courier de Lyons confirms previous
statements of the dispatch of war materi-
ais to the east and northeast of France.
A Berlin letter to the Times says: Rus
sia seems favorably disposed to Prussia,
while Austria affects an impartial but some
T what suspicious neutrality.
= Russian journals claim that LuXem mburg
Z is German, though not belonging to the
= confederacy. They also state that Polish
fortresses are being armed with rifled ar
Isl tillery.
