Secret Clause in the Frankfort Treaty..
A telegram from Berlin published hfst IN
in the NouuelIes Telegraphiques, asserts the
existence of q secret clause in the lteaty
of Frankfort, stipulating that the Natlonal
payment of the war indemnity is compile

The "Placetun, Regians" in Prussia.-lf
the Berlin correspondent of the Augemesne
Zeitung is to be believed, fresh engine OF
repression is in preparation for the Cnarcn
publication of Bulls, Briefs, etc, without

that its re-imposition ID imminent. Inc
royal expectations, it it said, expressed IN
the proclamation which abolished II, Shat
no disorders or evil consequences could re-
suit from its abolition, have now peen
nroyed to be upfounded, and it is abso-
| iutely necessary, adds the writer, to rein
trodnce the regulation and to enforce II
vigorously. In support of this view the
opinions Of Prince Won Hohenlobe ane
other Bavarian politicians are quoted.
