The Official Staats-Anzeiger, Of Berlin, of
July II, publishes, under reservation OF further
communication, two official documents, IN
order to explain certain statements put for
ward by the French Ministers in the sitting of
the Legislative body held on the 18th instant.
The irst document, which has been drawn mp
under the immediate superintendence of the
King himself, states that NJ. .Benedetti de-
manded, on the 9th instant, that the KING
should order the hereditary Prince OF Hohen-
zollern to withdraw his acceptance OF the
Spanish Crown. The King, however, de-
ciared that not having ordered the Prince
to accept the Crown, he could not order
him to renounce 1t. In second audi.

this audience, on the ground that no itlrther

The Roman correspondent of the Allgemeine

nelli note from his government relative 10
the occupation Of Civita Vecchia by Frencn
troops In this note the French Government
states that 1t has been urgently requested py
Italy and other Powers to put an end TO tne
French occupation OF Rome, and that oeioEe ore
giving definite answer to those demands tne
Duke de GTammont thinks 1t necessary nrst 70

party, on the subject. He therefore invites
Cardinal Antonelli openly to state whetner
there is any ground for fearing attacks on the
integrity OF the Papal territories In the event
of withdrawal OF the French troops, IN order
that France may be enabled to take an accurate
view of the situation, and regulate her policyi In
pending questions accordingly. To this Cardinal

were attacked either by regular troops or 6y
volunteers, directly or Indirectly supported 6y

disposed Of by the Papal militia, such cam

[Berlin Correspondence July l5) of the London

The plan Of the campaign Is openly spoken
of even by such as really ought to know some
thing fit But this Is always the case here, and
Gun hardly be otherwise, where the voluntary
cooperation ofthe whole people is expected. It
consists in simultaneous advance OF the whole
army, without the reserves, towards the

altogether stopped for private traffic during

The advance will be concentric upon Paris,
