The Paris correspondent OF the Lon
don Times believes some means can be
found to reconcile the conflicting pre-
tensions between France and Prussia.
The La Presse says, however, that
there Is one point and one only in which
France cannot accept of any eOmptos
mise, and that Is, the presence of the
Prussian soldiers in Luxembourg.
1t is announced that the factory OF st.
Etiene has just delivered g, 900 needle
guns to the French minister, of war.
This establishment, 1t is said, is in a
position to be able to claim the pre-
MUM of 900 francs offered by the
government for the completion of l00,-
600 rifles by the end of April.
The France says: The news In cir
culation 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 1t to be intimated to
the French government that in case of
would be on the side of her allies of
1856. NJ. Ricolsali, on the contrary, is
inclined towards Prussia; and the min
isterial crisis, which is not quite over,
though a RattaZzI ministry Is coustitu-
ted, Is said to have been accustomed
especially by the question Of alliances
with view of an approaching Euro
pean war.
The Paris press has rumors that Bis
marck-would resign in consequence of
the difference of opinion between him
self and the king, the latter being un-
willing to accept the evacuation OF
LuxembuFg on the principle it was
said that Count Won DergaltZ would
succeed him.
Reports are current of the arrest of
Prussian officers by the French at Thi-
onville and of the arrest OF French
officers Mayenee and London, butare

In the North German Parliament Bis
marck made speech announcing the
concurrence in the amendment to draft
Federal Constitution, by which the
strength of the army on a peace footing
remain unaltered until the common
Federal code of laws could be promuI-
gated. He opposed the amendments
that the next five years should be cons
sidered years of transaction, and that
after that period the army, on a peace
footing, should be maintained at the
same strength as hitherto, until the
PRONUNCIATION of the general code of
laws, when the army expenses should,
nevertheless, be fixed by special law on
Zation.
The amendment that Bismarck sup
ported was rejected-l67 against
ITO, when, Bismarck urgently re-
quested the House to pass an
amendment which would learn to
the Government the choice Of time for
promulgating the federal code OF laws;
saying that unless this amendment
was adopted the federal Government
would not agree to the draft, and the
task OF drawing up u Constitution
might possibly, at the last moment. be
frustrated; Notwithstanding this amend
ment was rejected by 159 against lis,
the amendment which Bismarck op-
posed was then adopted, 202 against so.
All the remaining articles of the draft
were then adopted. The Polish MEM
bers who had supported Bismarck then
resigned their seats, in consequence,
they said, of failure in his last attempt
to prevent the act Of violence commit
ted by their interpretations in the North
German Confederation. The Italian
Government has given very stringent
orders to prevent or repress any attempt
to violate pOntificial territory.
