DISSOLUTION OF THE GERMAN CON. FEDERATION BY THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.

In the despatch which Count Bismarek has addressed to the Prussian representatives on the hostile vote of the Diet, hé déclares the Confederation to be dissolved. The Prussian Government, in this despatch and in its pro- Clamation to the German people, declares that the old Confederation has come to an end because it did uot faithfully represent Germany, and has been turned unlawfully by one power to the injury of another. The whole country is now reduced to its politieal elbments: it is no longer a Federation, but anumber of States, great and small, which, according to the de- | claration of Prussia, are no more connected | than any others on the Continent. The des. | patch, in explanation of the entry of the Prus- | sian troops into Hanover, Saxony, and Elec- toral Hesse is equally decided in tone. The Minor States are menaced in a fashion of which we should hardly have thought even Count Bismarck capable. The King’s Government, it is said, proposes te the Northern Govern- ments a new alliance, the acceptance of which would avert the dangers with which, aceording to Count Bismarck, they threaten Prussia. But it must be on the condition that they re- store their forces to a peace footing or unite them with these of Prussia, and that they as- sent to the convocation ofa German Parliament. “If these moderate couditions be not accepted,” says the candid satesman, “the Government will feel itself oblized to have recourse to force, and to employ all the means in its power ayainst those Governments which show themselves jts

The Florence papers state that, putting aside the Venetian question, Italy has a vital interest that Austria should not have the supremacy in Germany, and should cease to be the negation of the principle of nationality, and consequently a menace to Italy. They continue as_fol- lows :—* The reeonstruction of the Italian and German nationality requires, in fact, either that the Austrian monarchy should disappear ex pelled from Germany as from Ttaly, or that Italy and Prussia, with the principle of nation ality which they represent, should be crushed. Vietor Emmanuel and King William will carry out their double programme to the end without partial compromises.’

ALLEGED OVERTURES OF RUSSIA TO THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT.

The Paris correspondent of the Times states that if what is said im certain political circles ot Paris be true, there is reason to apprehend that the Russian Government has not much faith in the absolute neutrality of France as may be de- sired. !t is stated that offers -have been made at Vienna on the part ofthe Czar for an alliance between himself and the Emperor Francis Joseph by way of counterpoise to French in tluence in Prussia. The offer was declined “forthe preseut,”’ ou the ground that an alliance between Austria and Russia would afford pretext for France to openly take part with Prussia. Meanwhile Russia seems resolved to be vigilant. It is also stated in La Liberte, not the best

authority, however, that Russia has written a

despatch approving of the “attentive neutrality” of France,and promising that Russia will assume

a similar attitude, The Paris correspondent of the Daily News writes that there are sizvs of the French Emperor having miscalculated, and that things are net proceeding as he ex- pected. After all he may not intervene. The Mouniteur reminds all non-political papers that if they publish any war news they will have to smart for it.

Panis, Tucrspay.—The Constitutionnel points out the pacific sense of the Emperor's letter to M. Deouyn de Lhuys. “ Peace,” it continues, “has the preference and the best wishes of the Emperor, and his hopes must be also on that side, for after having positively de- clared that France would not engaze in war except under a decisive state of things, he has grounds to believe that none of the belligerents will desire to assume the responsibility of provoking it by creating such a position of affairs.”

THE CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY.

The Times says, the vigour of the Berlin Go- verument has had its reward. The Prussians have seenred the two important cities of Dres- den and Leipsie, with all the advantages they ean give tO anarmy. It is not stated that the Hanoverian armies has been cut off, and will have to surrender. A murderous conflict has occurred on the Hesse Dramstadt territory. It is probable that the Prussiaus will endeavour to treat the Dramstadt Government as it. has. done those of Hanover and Electoral Hesse. | With a promptitude whieh is creditable to them | the Prussians has seized the Saxon capital. They entered Dresden vesterday. The armies which are concentrating in the neighbourhood of Dresden ave vast in number,and will probably | fight ayvreat battle for the possession of the Saxon kingdom. The armies of the three minor | kingdoms which will have joined the Austrians must amount to 100,000 men,

THE PRUSSIAN SQUADRON,

The actual commencement of hostilities at sea by the Prassians, was announced on Wed- nesday by telegraph from Bremen, datéd there the previous evening. This was to the effect that the three Prussian men-of-war named re- spectively the Arminius, the Jnde and ‘the | Serely, had put into the Bremerhaven Roads,’ and that the Sorely immediately seized the Hanoverian ship Sandwursten iving there at

Italy, with ardent pulse, longs to re-incorpo- rate Venetia; and her native population have no sympathy with the Austrian, to whom their country was handed over by the “ treaties,” and whose rule has utterly failed to amalga- mate Southern warmth and viyacity with the evld and unimpassioned temperament of the German. In fact, the constitution of the Austrian Empire rendered a yenial fusion of its heterogeneous elements akin to impossible.
