The Sun. — 1868-08-12 (London, England)

REMALKP.  The diminution in atmospherical pressure on the N.E. coast has been considerable during the last twenty-four hours, the difference In readings at Nairn and Aberdeen being nearly half an inch, whilst In the S. and W. readings are slightly greater. Pressures are low in the N., increasing in amount to the southward : the difference between Aberdeen and Rochefort is half an inch. Temperature is generally lower. On our Channel coast a high wind from the S.W. blew yesterday, which increased to a gale from the west at Cape Gris Nez, and is continuing. Westerly winds are prevalent this morning in the N. and W., and south-westerly on the S. coast of England. Much rain has fallen doze ye;terday---sspecially in Scotland. The weather is generally cloudy, end mist is reported in the S.W.  The Opinion Nationale says it has received information from a thoroughly trustworthy source to the effect that the English Government has made fresh overtures to the Cabinet of Florence respecting the passage of the overland mail by way of Brindisi.  The replacement of General von Falkenstein by General Manteuffel as commander of the Ist corps d'armde is the topic of the day in Prussia. The former is very popular, the latter just the reverse. The part which General Manteuffel played in SchleswigHolstein and in the campaign of 1866, in wYcli he replaced General Falkenstein as commander-in-chief of the Army of the Maine, has not by any means semred for him a share of public esteem. The disgrace of one of the most popular generals in Prussia is regarded with universal dissatisfaction. General Falkenstein is a decided supporter of the scheme of an alliance between Austria and Prussia. Has this predilection contributed to his downfall ?  The TVeser Gazette states that the North German Confederation is about to ( p3n negotiations with the United States, Great Britain, and, if occasion require, with other States, for the purpose of determining some principles of international law on the subject of the transport of emigrants by sea. The full text of the speech delivered by Baron Beust at the banquet which terminated the great rifle meeting at Vienna has been published. The Fp eech was graceful and eloquent, and appears to have been received with great enthusiasm. It is vague and indefinite—containing much about " the billows of discord" as opposed to the " calm current of peace "—as is the wont of speeches coming from highly responsible personages. But the statement that " the policy of Austria no longer presses itself into the affairs of Germany, and no aspirations after vengeance fill the public mind in this empire," must fairly be deemed of some importance. The speech was decidedly pacific, and, together with the manifesto of tho Emperor Napoleon at Troyes, ought to produce a good effect.  A short timo ago it wad announced that the Servians who had been arrested in Hungary for complicity in the murder of Prince Michael were to be tried at Pesth. It has been found, however, that some of the facts adduced in evidence can only be established on the spot, and accordingly the Hungarian Minister of Justice has been asked to send three migistrato fo Deign& for the (purpose of making Inquiries, It is stated that Princc Ale?rtglaq- KarkPorgoilt4b) w4NtLAIIIILktairrAtO  1 ~. 5..~.  ant .';i4rl.' -60 7 it .I,yrt
