FRANEFORT-ON-THE4rAIN, June 14, 29.
P. M.—The Austrian proposal for the mob
ilization of the Federal Army has been
adopted in the Federal Diet to-day by nine
against six votes.
Paitigraph 1 was adopted- in so far as it
relates to the mobilization of the 7th, Bth,
9th and 10th army corps. Paragraphs 2, 3
and 5 were also agreed to, but no decision
was arrived at upon paragraph 4, which
proposed that the Diet should nominate a
Federal Cominander-in-Chief.
The members of the Confederation voting
for the adoption of .the. proposal were Aus
tria, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, Wurtem
burg, Electoral Hesse, Hesse Darmstadt,
Nassau, and the 16th Curiae. The members
voting against the proposal were Prussia,
Luxembourg, and the 12th, 14th, 15th, and
17th Curiae. The Baden representative,
being without instructions, abstained from
voting.
The Prussian representative had pre
viously declared the motion to be contrary
to the Federal Constitution, and protested
against any-action being taken thereon by
the Diet. After the motion had been adopted
he declared that Prussia considered the
Federal Pact to be dissolved. He then
submitted proposals for the constitution of a
new Bund, announced that Prussia seceded
from the present Confederation, and
diately Withdrew from the Assembly. •
The Austrian Minister-President addressed;
the Diet in a speech, in which he referred to
Article I. o f the Federal Pact, and Article V.of
the Final Act of Vienna, and- insisted upon
the indissolubility of the Federal Pact. He
protested against the Prussian project, and
maintained the• continuance of the Confed
eration, with all its rights and duties, de=
daring that no member was at liberty to
secede from the Bund, and that the whole
of Germany had a right to demand that the
Confederation should remain intact.
He concluded by inviting the Diet to unite
with him in a solemn protest for the pre
servation of the rights and competency of
-Abe Band, which s.hOuld continue in fall
force and binding upon all its members. •
The Diet adopted a resoluting expressing
its adherence to the declaration of the Aus
trian representative.

fur Vienna.,
The Bavarian contingent in this town is

.Federal Diet have
resigned their functions.
In the voting at the Diet on the proposal
for Federal mobilization, Wiirtemberg
alone voted in exactly the same manner as
'Anetria.
Brunswick, which forms with Nassau the
13th Curie, .did not assent to the proposal.
The 16th Curie, though not fully instructed,
believed itself empowered to vote in favor of
the motion.
Baden proposed that the motion should be
referred to a committee, but this proposal
was not supported by Prussia.
Of the six Curies composing the minority,
Saxe-Meiningen and Frankfort were in fa
vor of referring the motion to the Military
Committee.
SINES & SHEAFF
A Conference of- the Ministers of those
States which support Austria will be held
on the 17th insr., to discuss a proposal for

Jrnum 15.—The eight votes (excluding Ala
tria) given yesterday in the Diet in favor of
the proposal for the mobilization of the
Federal •Army represent a population of
13.859,711, and contingents of 173,798 men,
*bib the five votes. (excluding Prussia)
aw-clust the proposal represent a population
0r2;954,580, and contingents of 33,500 men.
The mobilization of the Federal army was
not voted in the form proposed by Austria,
but in the following amended shape, which
was proposed by Hanover and supported
by Electoral Hesse
"That in view of the present differences
between Austria and Prussia menacing -the
internal security of the Confederation and
causing an apprehension that hostilities
-
might occur between the two Confederate
Powers; and 'considering that Federal
Diet has been called together on the ground
of Articles 18 and 19 of the Final Act of the
15th of May, 1829, in order to mainthin the
peace and security of the Confederation and
to take the necessary measures for prevent
ing the independent action of any member
'of the Confederation; and further consider
ing that, in order that the resolutions which
' :might be taken by the Diet should be car
' ried out,—a speedy disposal of all the mili
tary forces of the members of the Confede
ration not involved in the present difficul
• ties between Prussia and Austria is a ne
cessary prelinainav-condition to any suc
cessful mediation.'
The Hanoverian Government votes for
the first paragraph of the Austrian propo
sal, with the modification that the 7th, Bth,
9th and 10th Faderal Army Corps should be
mobilized.
Hanover votes also in favor of Article 2,
3 and 5, but not for Article 9, respecting the
appointment of a Federal commander-in
chief, which she does not consider to be yet
called for by the present state of things.

PIIIISSIA.
BERLIN, Junei--15th.--The 'official Staats-
Anzeiger of to-day publishes an article
which says:
"By the un-Federal procedure of tne ma
jority of those German Governments which
have hitherto been its allies the Prussian
Government has been compelled to take
step that materially changes the existing
state of Europe as established by treaty.
Article 19 of the Vienna Act could only
form the point of departure for legal proce
dure, but not afford support to warlike
Federal measures. The mobilization of the
Federal army against a member of the Con
federation is directly opposed to Article 2,
Article 11, and Paragragh 4 of the Federal
Pact, which articles, incorporated as Arti
cles 54 and 63 in the Vienna Congress Act
of the 9 h ofJune,.lBls, constitute a portion
of European public law. Federal and Ea
ropean law were therefore violated by the
Austrian motion. As, notwithstanding the
protest of Prussia upon the 14th inst., this
motion was nevertheless carried, the King's
representative at the Diet announced the
rapture of the Confederation and quitted the
Assembly."
The Staats-.A.nzeiger then publishes the
text of the declaration of the Prussian En
voy, a summary of which has been tele
graphed.

President, moved - that an address be pre
sented to the King, declaring that yestent

feneration was a step which threatened to
involve Germany in civil war, imposed
upon Hanover excessive burdens, and en
dangered bar independence. The proposed
address further requests that the Mintstera

Federal mobilization be dismissed, at the

its adoption will thereby commit an• act of
hostility against Prussia, in defiance of the
Federal law. In the war which may then
ensue Prussia: will allow herself to be
guided only by her own interests and those
of the States friendly to her cause. The
adoption of the motion will be looked upon
by Prussia as a military solidarity on.the
part of the consenting -States with Austria,
who will make her declaration of war
alone, and will consequently consider their
assent as no - many independent declarations
of war. Those members of , the Confedera
/SR
tion whose territories are situated between
th Prussi provinces are particularly en
joined to to e note of this communication."

city of Vienna with great satisfaction. I
have done everything in my power to pre
serve the peace and liberty of Germany,but
it has been made impossible in all quarters
for me to do £O. This is the most arduous
period I have experienced since my acces
sion to the throne. I now resort to the
sword with eonfidence in God, my good
right, my valiant army, and the co-opera
tion of my faithful a subjects. But I must,
in especial, expressomy fullest satisfaction
with the unanimity and attitude of Vienna.
Notwithstanding that considerable sacri

most exemplary order prevails here in com
parison with other countries, and I cannot

letter of the Emror Napoleon, in a recent
number of the . 4 berte, in an article signed
by:M. Emile de Girardin. The' Constitu,

"M. Girardin makes a strange abuse of
words in interpleting every alteration in
the map of Europe as a disturbance to the
European equilibrium. • There are natural
and' legitimate annexations which consoli
date instead of disturbing the equilibrium.
This 'is true as regards-the restoration of
Venetia to - Italy anti Savoy to France. In
the same manner, irGermany, now divided
into 29 States, should wish to reduce the
number, the order at present established in
Europe will not thereby be in any way.
shaken. What the Emperor meant was
that the equilibrium of Europe would be
destroyed if Austria or Prussia should ab
sorb the whole of Germany."
Intelligence received here from Bordeaux
announces that a fire has taken place in the
general warehouses at that port, which has
destroyed coffee, sugar, indigo, and leather
to the value of several million francs.

PALACE OF THE TuiLkiarks, June 11.—
M. LE Musisr - kk: At the moment when
the hopes of peace, which the meeting of
the Conference made us conceive seem to
be vanishing, it is essential to explain in a
circular to the diplomatic agents abroad,
the ideas which my Government contem
plated presenting in the Councils of Europe,
and the conduct it means to follow in pre
sence of the events which are preparing.
This communication will place our policy
in its true light.
. Had the Conference taken place,your lan
guage, as you are aware, would have been
explicit. You werelo declare in my name
that I repudiated all idea of territorial ag
grandizement so long as the equilibrium of.
Europe was not disturbed. In effect, we
could not think of an extension of our fron
tiers except in case of the map ef Europe
being remodeled for the exclusive benefit
of a great Power, and of , the conterminous
provinces demanding, by votes freely ex
pressed, their annexation to France.
Outside these-circumstances, I think it
more worthy of our country to prefer to the .
acquisition of territory the precious advan
tage of living on good terms with our
neighbors by respecting their independence
and their nationality.
Animated by these sentiments, and
having only in view the preservation of
peace, I appealed to England and to Russia
to address at the same time words of con
ciliation to the parties interested.
The accord established between the
neutral Powers will of itself be a pledge of
security for Europe. They showed their
impartiality in resolving to limit the dis
cussion of the Conference to the pending
questions. In order to resolve them I think
it was necessary to address ourselves - to
them frankly, to disengage them from the
diplomatic wail which covered them, and to
take into serious consideration the legiti
mate wishes of Sovereigns and of nations.
The conflict which has arisen has three
causes—the geographical situation of Prus
sia imperfectly limited; the wish of Germany
demanding a political reconstitution more
conformable to its general wants, and the
necessity of Italy to secure her national in
dep end en de.
_ _
The neutral Powers could not interpose in
the internal affairs of foreign countries.
Nevertheless, the Courts that participated
in the constitutional acts of the Germanic
Confederation had the right to examine
whether the charges demanded were not of
a kind to endanger the order established in
Europe. We should have desired, in what
concerns ourselves, for the secondary States
of the Confederation a closer union, a
stronger organization, a more important
position; for Prussia, more homogeneous.
ness in the North; for Austria, the mainte
nance of her great position in Germany.
We should have desired, moreover, that
for an equitable compensation, Austria
should cede Venetia to Italy, for if, in con
cert with Prussia, and without regard to the
'Treaty of 1852, she made war in Denmark
on behalf of German nationality, it seemed
to me just that she should recognize the
same principle for Italy by completing the
independence of the Peninsula.
Such are the ideas which for the repose of
Europe, we should have tried to carry out.
To-day there is reason to fear that they can
be decided only by arms. In such an emer
gency,wh at is the attitude it becomes France
to assume?
Ought we to manifest our displeasure be
cause Germany finds the treaties of 1815 in
sufficient to satisfy her national tendencies,
and preserve her tranquillity.? In the war
which is about to break out we have but
two interests—the maintenance of the Eu
ropean equilibrium and the maintenance of
that which we have contributed to constitute
in Italy.
But to save these two interests does not
the moraLforce of France suffice? In order
that her voice shall be. listened to,will she be
obliged to draw the sword? Ido noLthin" k
so.
If, in spite of our efforts, the hopes of
peace are not realized, we are nevertheless
reassured by the declarations of the Courts
engaged in the conflict, that whatever be
the results of the war, none of the questions
which touch us shall be resolved without
the assent of France. ,
Let us„ then, continue in a vigilant lien
trality ; and, strong in our disinterested
ness, animated by a sincere desire to see the
nations of Europe forget their quarrels, and
unite in the cause of civilization, liberty
and progress, let us still remain confident
in our right and calm in our force. Where
upon, M. le Ministre, I pray to God to keep
you in His' holy guard. NApozmos.

The Emperor , fe evidently convinbed of that

says so very clearly. _As regards Italy, the

A German View of the Letter.-
(Fyne the Cologlie Gazette Jane /5.1
In the event of either Prussia or Austria
appropriating new territory, France would
then annex, by means of universal suf
frage, contiguous German provinces. This
is a warning which ought somewhat to di- •
minish the warlike passions of the German
Powers, and make the military party of
Vienna and Berlin reflect before precipi
tating the country into endless troubles.
The letter should also make the
smaller States reflect, fori; while wish

m
and Prussia, the peror Napoleon inti
mates that he desires a little slice of Pres
aia and he could have no better pretext for
this than that of the minor States being silty
enough to join Austria in a war against
Prussia. Prussia will naturally come down
upon those States, and once occupied, she
will not readily relax her grasp. The letter
of the French Emperor can only serve as a
warning to all German Patriots, and must
weaken the fatal tendency toward war.
The Fenian Failure.
The failure of the Fenian invasion of
Canada caused much joy in England. The
London Times, of June 16th, concludes a
long article on the subject as follows:
Before congratulating ourselves and the
Canadians on this satisfactory result, we
hasten to express our sense of theadmirable
spirit displayed in - these transactions by
of the United States. It would
be im . -sible to exaggerate the good faith,
the is 'mess, the sincerity, and the re
gard mutual obligations which hap
prompted these energetic and decisiv._
measures. If we have sometimes though:
that the American Government were tard
in discerning sufficient grounds for their in.,

when the occasion occurred they have acted
in a manner which even exceeds anything
that cduld reasonably have been expected
from the most friendly nation. _ The
public will not fail to see the most conspien,

a subordinate military officer might ha

so trivial a disturbance. But, instead
this, the Federal Government have e

Lieutenant. General Grant, in America
holds something of the position•which th
Duke of weilengton held among our,:
selves, and General Meade was only sub

officers is not only to insure that the Feniai
attempt shall be most effectually . sapi
pressed, but to give the most conspicuottel
evidence tf the determination of the Gs**
vernment to oppose, and, if necessary,
suppress, the Fenian Society. In point oh
moral force, President Johnson's proclamaz'• •

This document, however, and the arrests
by which it has been accompanied, are the
most complete blow which could have been
struck at the movement, and will do for us
everything we could have wished to do fai t .
