No man in England Deleves fora moment that there will be apy chance at ‘mi for the Grand Dukes to resume the reins of power in ‘Buseany, Modena, or Parma, or thatthe Pope can hold ‘als temporal power in the Legations. The prospects of ‘war, too, seem more and more remote. Public opinion mow seems to be settling down into the conclusion that ‘King Victor Emancel and the Emperor have understood ‘ene another from the start, and thet this is the way they Ihave taken to bring about certain results, to wit, the mmnexation of Nice and Savoy, and the consoli- ation of the power of Victor Emanuel over Italy.

Next to the campaign by a second Napoleon ‘tm Italy, this constitutional and peaceful gathering of the people and their silent but expressive voices for a new head to the States is the greatevent of the period. ‘The Pope has excommunicated the King of Sardinia, ‘but neither be nor his priesthood will pay any ‘wttention to the bull. But did not Pope Paul III. enunciate against Henry VIII.—in the language of a historian of the period—‘‘a terrible thundering bull,” such as was never ‘weed by his predecessors.” And did not Pias V. excom- maunicate ‘Elizabeth, pretended Queen of England,” de- @laring ‘this very woman’ to be ‘‘cut off from the unity @f the body of Christ,” and ‘‘to have incurred sentence @f anathema.” Ho ‘‘declared” ber ‘deprived of her pretended title to the kingdom aforesaid, and @f all dominion, digmity, and privilege whatso- ever.” He also did ‘‘oommand and interdict all gad singular the noblemen and people,” ‘‘that they ume not to obey her, or her monitions, mandates and Ewe,” and if they did he declared he would “involve ‘them in a like sentence of anathema.’’ To use a modern phrase, that sort of game has been ‘‘pl out.’’ Tempo- ral pewer the Pope has none beyond the city of Rome. It is @ very important historical, legal and political fact that in the reign of Henry VIII., before Pope Pius ex- communicated the King, the question was put to the assembled bishops of the State church four in number, whether ‘the gine Pope) had any power at , ecclesiastical or otherwise, other foreign bishop; and every one, Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, voted in the ni ive. ‘King or sovereign was the head of the church then, as he ig to-day in Engiand, France, Russia and other countries; and it has been only operating on their fear, in a spiritual potters teeaty: ‘and ecclesiastical sense, that the Pope has, during the last ‘one or two centuries, come to hold @ certain sway over Catholic potentates. Louis leon and Victor Emanuel are superior to that contem| balderdash. Old women of both sexes, blind bigots and idiotic sovereigns, who are under the mental and political thraldom of priests and females—characters like the Queen of gare Ferdi. mand of Sicily and the Emperor Axstria— come under its influence, force of character, as {fit rise siperior to it.

OUR LONDON CORRESFONDENCE. ‘Lonpon, March 24, 1860. Heenan’s Cclors—Sayers’ Training—Cheap Chance for Fame—Ancther @hallenge to the “Benicia Boy’'—The State of the Odds—What One of Hieenan’s Backers Thinks—Sclect Character of the Fight, de. Since I last wrote you nothing particularly new in rela- tion to the coming fight between Heenan and Sayers has transpired, with the exception, perbaps, of a more fully confirmed belief that it will certainly take place, and also that it will come off before the time set—namely, the 16th of April. The pecuniary interests of the backers of the two men are 80 great that the ‘mill’ will be fought, though it take place in the parlor of some country inn, with no one present but the parties themselves, half a cozen witnesses and the referee. Under any circum- stances it is intended that the affair shall be conducted ‘With as little display as possible. This seems to be par- ticularly to be the desire of Heenan, who says he has come over bere to fight for his own money, and not to make a show of himself. With this view he has refused a thousand invitations of every description which have been offered him, and has set himself determinedly at work to prepare himself to win if possible. 1 told you in my last letter that Sayers had issued his “colors.” Heenan has done the same, and his fiag may now be seen in the windows of the sporting print shops. His symbol is the eagle, bearing in his beak the laurel wreath of victory, with the motto above, ‘ May the best man win.’’ The bird’s wings are extended, and on his crest is a sbield, containing horizontal and vertical stripes. In his right claw is another sprig of laurel, and in his left & bundle of arrows. The border is red, white and biue. These colors are furnished on the same terms as are those of Sayers; that is, a guinea each is paid for them, with the understanding, however, that if Heenan is defeated the money is to be returned. Both the men are getting into excellent condition. Sayers is working very hard at Newmarket, and his daily exercise is as followe:—At six o’clock he rises, aud after taking @ cold water bath he walks two miles before break- fast, which consists of eggs, mutton chop, beefateak and other nutritious food. He then rests till ten o'clock, when he starts off on walk of thirteen miles, which he does in about three hours; then, at two, he eats a hearty dinner, after which he spends the afternoon and evening leisurely and comfortably. ‘ An enterprising print seller in the Strand, whose win- dows are filled with full length pictures of the prominent pugilists of the day, in fighting costume and attitude, offers persons who intend being present at the fight a cheap op. portunity to immortalize themselves. He proposes to Publish, as soon as possible after the occurrence, a grand pictorial repreeentation containing fifty portraits of pe- trons and supporters of the ring, which will be photo. free of charge, and he requests ‘gentle who pena figure in this historical ‘picture to send thetr cards.’ By the way, the res of Heenan in this win- dow have a little bi ical sketch eath them in which it is stated Now yore the “Boy” ‘porn in “Troy Sam Hurst, known as the “Stalybridge Infant,’ has issued a challenge, offering to fight Heenan, whether he win or lose with Sayers, or any other man in England with the exce of Sayers, for £1008 side, or any foreigner for aside. It is not unlikely that after the termination of the match with Sayers, Heenan will have plenty of invitations to test his powers further, and thould he win the Champion's belt, he will of course feel bound to accept them. Under any circumstances, he in- tends remaining in England till June, attending the prin. cipal races, and enjoying himself, and seeing something of England and English life, as of course he cannot now do, while working as hard as he is, to prepare himself for the coming encounter. I heve just had a conversation with a gentleman thorovghly familiar with sporting matters, and who is taking the odds on Heenan. He says, however, that although there are such quotations as six to four, he can- not get them, and has never been able to get over five to four. Sayers, he says, isa bard fighter, but he bas been ‘once defeated, and may be again; and he considers that if he is beaten by Heenan it will’ be no disgrace to him to be defeated by a man five inches taller, three stone heavier than himself, ee ee ee as Heenan is. The fight, he thinks, will be of shori dura tion, and Sayers’ game will be to keep ‘‘the Boy” as far off from him ae possible, not allowing him to close and overcome him by his superior size and weight, if he can avold it. Nat Langham, the only man who ever whipped Sayers, has been giving nan some lessons in and gays he has improved wonderfully. The fight is going to be a very select one. The price of tickets for the ‘‘excursion’? will be put at such a price as to exclude the ‘‘roughs’’ who usually gather on such oc- casions, and the locality of the ‘‘mill’’ will be made known only the day before it comes off, so as to prevent them from reaching it in advance by the ordinary means of conveyance. Still it is altogether probable an immense number of persons will be present. I shall send you a full account of the affair. Our Paris Correspondence. Panis, March 22, 1860. Austrian Attitude Towards Sardinia—Enthusiasm of the Peo- ple of the Provinces—Firmness of the French Emperor— Jealousy of the Great Powers—Attitude of Russia—Victer Emanuel andthe Pope—The Inhabitants of the Roman States Petition Victor Emanuel for Protection—A Bloody Struggle Anticipated— Warlike Preparation in Austria and Russia—Proposed Visit of Prince Napoleon to America—The Pope Ezcommunicates Victor Emanud— Threatening Attitude of Switzerland, dc. The moet important event of the past week has been withoat/doubt the protest of Austria as regards the accept- ‘ance by King Victor Emanuel of the annexation of the Duchies. The King has not only accepted, but he has sig- nified his pleasure at so doing and Austria, loudly protests, putting at once an end to all diplomatic relations between Sardinia and herself, and showing by her attitude that she is ready for another war. I shall further along notice the tremendous preparations now going on in Venetia, al- though it was supposed tbat nothing more could be done im that line than had already been duly attended to, Herewe have excitement enough. The King of Sardinia having ceded by treaty Savoy and Nice tothe Emperor Napoleon, or rather to France, the people of those prov- inces are pleased and take every occasion to show it. But this will not answerfor England. Her ranting House of Commons does not see fit to allow France and Sardinia to settle amicably a matter that regards only them; so discussions of a most vexing nature for the country are kept up, to the disgust of even the English journals. But this does not stop the Horsemanns, Peels and such fry; they, like the war horse, smell the battle afar off. They see the Rhine torn from Prussia, Belgium becoming the property of France, and then they quake for themselves, with the same insane fears they have so often and so ludicrously betrayed during the last few years. The consequences of sucha course of conduct are inevitable. Germany takes tho alarm and thinks seriously that she is menaced, and so a feeling of unnecessary uneasiness has been raised. The Emperor Napoleon is pledged to,the French’ people, that in case of the formation of a great Power in Central Italy, ho would by annexing Savoy protect his frontiers, and he now has no other course to pursue. The country in dis. pute has been ceded to him, and he will take possession of it. Itis worthy of notice that no alarm was created when Austria ceded Lombardy, but forsooth, because Sardinia codes Savoy and Nice, the alarmists af once predict no end of unhappy consequences. All this is but the result ofa jealous fear that is felt by the meaner intellects among ‘land’s statesmen. re can exist no doubts upon the intentions of the Emperor Napeleon. He finds it impossible to please ali, and go he will begin by pleasing his own people. This is wise, the more 80 a8 he is perfectly justified in the course he is pursuing. A deputation of Savoyards is now here, and was received yesterday by the Emperor. The depa- tation presented an address to his Majesty, respectfully p against the dismemberment of Savoy, as it was ‘well known that bis Majesty, with a desire to preserve a fect unde Fstanding upon the question, was willing to ‘cede that portise of Savoy that Switzerland claims. ‘ate wil now the aus. | wee fatter ot while re 4 = ey A ee be useless, igs bul one course lafi:'bo must | annex. As for » she will not interfere ins mailer | , She we somly eee i getting ready for the prosecution of her intent as regards Turkey, and will most probably rejoice whem | the La ene Struggle between Central Italy and Austria | is commenced. Now thatthe annexation is decided on, is au fast accompli, the French troope are leaving Lombardy | on their return movement to France; but you may rest | assured they will not go far from the scene of thelr late | explotis, At ® moment’s notice the vicwr of Magenta | and Solferino will return unto the plains of Italy, and | again will the stolid Germans be routed by their flerce | opelaught. Of course all eyes are mow turned towards Central Italy. ‘The Catholics of Earope are anxiously awaiting the action of the Pope as regards the Romagna. King Victor Ema- Buel secepted the vote of the people of the Legation as he did that of Tuseany, Parma and Modena, but he added an expression of his devotion 10 the Pope, whose inde- pendence he was ready @p defend, and to whose sove- Teignty he was willing to Fender homage. Will the suo- cessor of St. Peter be satisfled with these sentiments? I fear not. He will, with his twenty thousan4 mercenaries, attack the Legations, and will bring about a most fearful state of anarchy and confusion. From Umbria and the Marches the last accounts are not reassuriog. The ple bet the most intense exasperation, arising from the arbitrary procedure of the Pope’s government. The inhabitants of Rome, Umbria ana the Marches have pre- tented to Victor Emanuel an andress soliciting his pro- tection, The commencement of the document is remark- able. I shall cite it, as well as the end, which is quite as much 80:— “Sire, on that tolemn day when the people of Romagna atiach themselves by their vote to the Btates of your Ma- jesty, the people of the other Roman provinces (up till this time their companions in misery) feel the more pro- foundly their condemnation to a long and unmerited mar- ie We present ourselves before you, sire, de- clare that the Romans, the Umbrians, and the people of the Marches, though not enabled themselves to deposit their 8 in the urps, are nevertheless prepared to give triu ant welcome at the fitting time tothe victor of Palestro and San Martin. * * * * * # If, in the midst of the sufferings that tyrannously over- whelm them, these people can only learn that your Ma- jesty has generously consented to listen to their prayer, ‘they will support their burdens with greater firmness till the bour shall atrive for them to break their chains and upite themselves to thatarmy which your Majesty will Jead to the conquest of the independence and treedom of the Italian nation.”” ’ Let the annexation go on-let the foreigner be at driven definitively from the lan¢d—let the Italians arrange, ‘as it is but fair, their own affairs; and | deciare that, be- fore ten yeare are over, Victor Emanuel will proceed to Rome to find the kingly crown of regenerated Italy. His Holiness displayed afew Jays since an inclination to get rid of the French troops at Rome, and he informed the French government that he could henceforth take care of bimself, But he bas somewhat changed his mind since, as Tam now assured on good authority. The King of Na- les was to furnish the Eterpa: City with a sufficient num- of troops to keep the people quiet. But it seems that upon due reflection Francis I] came to the conclusion that the experiment was too bazardous a one, and he now hesi- tates. Should France order her troops Holy Father would be in a most embar: ing posi The King of Naples has trouble enough of hie own to look after. His whole pn ge is in a state of feverish anxiety and excitement, which the foolish severity of his police may at any moment cause te break out into open rebellion. The London journals public a correspondence from the Engiien minister at Naples to his government, confirming the statements I made in my last letter as to the nume- Tous arrests at Naples of persons of the highest rank and influence. The list sent to the British Cabinet by Mr. El- Hot is precisely the same that I forwarded a week pre- viously to you. It is now evident to all Europe that war isathand. The armaments of Austria, Rome and Naples have opened the eyes of the most blind, and one and all fee) that the war cloud, with its load of tyranny and op- pression, must soon burst. As foundation for these alarms, 1 may state that the Austrian military authorities are displaying a marvellous activity. Quantities of poate, of a light structure, lined with iron and mounting a single gun of long range, are being constructed at the arsenals at Venice, to be em- apa om the Lago di Garda. A correspondent from taly eays they purchase, with a like object, considerable numbers of the stoutest fishing boats of Chioggia. These. when transported by rail, are to be stationed at Riva and at Peschiera. Thousands of workmen are employed night and day on the new fortifications of Peschiera. Forty pew detached forts are in course of erection at Mantua. Verona is crammed with troops; a nume- rous staff is also concentrated im that city, Frade the Lieutenant Marshals Degenfeldt, Lederer, fermhardt, Mezzini and Stadion, besides ® number of generals of brigade and colonels; ail the military personnel, as well ag the troops, being paid and maintained upon the war footing. Numerous regi- ments are stationed in the Tyrol, along the entire course of the railway: The masses of Austrian cavairy and ar- pre 7 Sal concentrated between Rovigo and Padus. In Jess than six days, 100,000 men can be thrown into Cen- tral Italy from other side of the Po. The only which embarrasses the Austrians is the difficulty of ob- taining provisions for this vast army. The Venetians have been too long exposed to continual spoliation to af- ford any further resource, and the other provinces of the empire, such as Croatia and Hi , are themselves suffering too much from scarcity wo be able torender any material aesistance. Asa further symptom of approach- ing rupture, they now begin to refuse, though without apy avowed motive, the passage of the Mincio to all Lom. bards desirous of proceeding into the Venetian territory on private business, though provided with Piedmontese rts. The mixed lo- Austrian commission sitting tor hmitation of the frontier has |, afer a se- ries of stormy debates, without arriving at any definite conclusion, The Venetians await the commencement of the struggle with the most intense anxiety; the Lombards ‘anticipate it with the utmést ardor. One of the principal organs of the Milanese press, the Perseveranza, thus ex- presses itself on this important ‘The nation will accept the combat without Dr: jo, but with becom- ing firmness, We have a valorous army, habituated to victory, @ proud and energetic government, and a peo- ple who can be capable of every sacrifice. A defensive war bas nothing in it which should alarm us, and if, in the event of a war which we bave not provoked, France chooses to cross her arms, and remain supinely a specta. trees of the struggle, we shall not seek to make her par- take our perils a second time. We hope, on the contrary, to prove to her shat we have not forgotten all she has done for us during the late war, and that we are worthy to appertain to that Italian nation which ahe so powerfully contributed to create.” ‘To add to the universal uneasiness, Russia is commencing & movement of troops towards Bessarabia and the south- ern parts of the empire. That is, to say the least, most ominous when taken in connection with the alteration of steam commercial vessels s0 as to serve as transports for troops. It is also asserted that the attitude of the Rus- sian Ambatsador at Constantinople is such as to inspire ‘eat distrust. The public is now awakening to the truth of the alliance between Austria and Russia, as announced gome time since by the Morning Chrotice of London, and which I assured you in my correspondence was really a fact, having been so informed by persons whom Ihave always found to be correct. In Prussia a feeling of irritation and distrust also per- vades. The new military law has thrown the people into @ atate of great excitement, Coming evil is foreshadowed; the liberal party is diseppointed thereby, for. they feel that the augmentation of the army is dangerous to their liberties and beneficial but to the petty nobility. The increase of the stand- 5 in troubled internal policy, has not as yet B srmrege in the Savoy affair. She fears that Napoleon III. will be vexed enough at her increasing armamentg, let alone annoying him by interfering with his policy. To resume: the chief point of discontent with the Prussians is the fact that the whole malg population is subjected for years to come to martial law in case the military bill passes. The visit of the Prince of Wales to the United States and Canada is now decided upon, and the equadrom that is to accompany him ordered to as- semble at Spithead. This vieit will no doubt revive the desires of Prince Napoleon as regards his intended jour- ney some time back to the United States. I am told that more than likely bis Highness will be in America during the ensuing autumn. would of ceurse be quite a lion, but the interest of such a visit would fall far short of that created by the visit of the Prince of Wales. We hear from Madrid that the Spanish government has determined to continue the Moorish war, as the Moors will only consent to pecuniary sacrifices as conditions of peace. Thave just ascertained that the Sardinian troops have commenced the evacuation of Savoy. The first detach- ment of the French troops from Lombardy will arrive to-morrow in Savoy. We have just received to Count Rechberg: by M- Steiger, thes to y M. ', the Swiss charge @oeffairs at Vienna. In the circular the Federal Council ee Powers that guaranteed the treaties at jenna against any measure having for its object the in- corporation of Chablais ith French empire. Count Rechberg answered that Austria reserves her definitive reply until she had ascertained the disposi- tion of Europe; but he reminded M. Steiger that last year, when the French troops were conveyed by rail- ‘ways from Culoz to Chambery, the Austrian cabinet in vain represented to Switzerland, as well as to the great Powers, that the neutrality of that of Savoy ought to be re- the French troops that neu- reported cation of King Victor Emanuel has been sent by the to Turin. The King coolly handed the document to Council of State, and there, for the present, ends the bogbear. Truly the days of priestly power are passing away, and common sense and reason are fast putting down bigotry and superstition. IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT. Thave just received a piece of most startling informa- tion which will sadly complicate affairs here in case it is correct, which I believe it is:—The Swiss government is said to have sent troops to occupy Chablais and Faucigny: ‘This is, of course, a defiance of France, which is so daring and irrational as to force the conclusion that Switzerland is acting in reliance upon some great Power at whose in- Stigation the act was undertaken.

That was to be expected. Indeed, of late the lamentations and bitter mournings that have issued from that temple of Mammon, the Bourse, have been quite heartrend- ing. “Peace! peace!” is the cry; ‘when will our Emperor let us, as he promised, sit every man under bis own vine and his own fig tree?” and, ‘unquestionably, the gorgon head of war scems forever mocking and jibing the vahappy Agent de Charge as he steps forth to perform his wonted daily labor. It is observed that with respect to what has taker place im Central Italy, notwithstanding the hundreds of leading articles published on the subject in the Paris journals, few or any of them venture to comment on the King of Sardi- nia’s position. Of course the clerical organs have their say; but the Pays, the Courrier de Paris and the Constitutionnel are perfectly dumb. The Patrie says a word or two, but im such a shape that it can rocall it without diMculty, ‘The fact is, whether we judge from such pubiic organs as stil) make a show Of representing opinion, or from what ‘we see and hear in diplomatic and well informed circles’ or among the more general class of citizens, we can but accept one condition, namely: that while all Frenchmen, as Frenchmen, are sincerely gratified at the acquisition of Savoy and Nice, and at the great principle of glorious re- suscitation involved in it, they do not dieguise from them- selves the conviction that new struggles await France. “We shall have war, sir; we must have war,” is the re~ flection of every man you meet; ‘‘and we are not afraid of it.”? The Emperor himself speaks very unreservedly of af- faire, and apparently with a firm conviction that all things will find their level without further violence. But itis remarked that when an habitually silent man takes to talking he is only beaking, to augment his power of con- cealment; and few believe the Emperor says what he thinks when he expresses such hopes of a pacific solution, ‘The troops you will perceive are already withdrawn from Lombardy, but only to take up thelr quarters at Nice and Chambery. There is to be no dismemberment, and Switzerland, despite her energetic protest, must bide the Emperor’s pleasure. The words of M. de Lamartine, in 1847, are quoted by the Patrie to give additional zest to France’s new acquisition. ‘Savoy,’ says the poet, ‘is entirely French in its language, its race and ite manners, In all the great commotions of the world Sayoy must de- tach herself; from Italy, and of her own self fall on our side. The Alps area frontier too necessary for the two people to belong to one alone. If their southern slope is towards Italy, their northern is towards France. Snow, sun and water Lega this on tee | peat oe twixt the two people. licy cannot wi impunity against nature.” The Patrie, while compli- menting the author upon his eloquent language, takes oc- casion, ever, to observe that policy would, notwith- standing, have very long prevailed against nature but for Napoleon the Third. ‘The state of Naples is again causing great stir among the Morat party. at the Prince de Wagram’s, whose daugh- ir the grandson of Joachim Murat, ex King of Naples, arried, there bave been of late frequent gatherings and congratulations. Prince de Wagram, son of Marshal Berthier, is himself a narrow minded man, and who will only be heard of in any politicn! commotion when the division of the spoil takes place, at which time his voice ig likely to be loud enough.

Whoever it is thatad- vizes these legal proceedings seems generally to lead the government into mischief. Out of the many prosecutions which have occurred here, few have terminated in any definite result. In the present instance common sense absolved the Bishop. The Siecle and other journals had more than once intemperately assaulted him, and nothing that he said in returm could reasonably be felt to be be- Hare justification. As for the relatives of the former ishop, whom M. Dupanloup never brought into the controversy till forced to do so by the semi-official Consti- tutionnel—if such reletives are to be indemnified each time as ancestral public character is criticised, there would be an end of all public discussion.

Presrian View of the Annewation of Savsy and Nice—Lord Bloomfield's Despatch to Lord John Russell— Hostility.of dal in High Life, hc. ‘The publication of Lerd Bloomfield’s despatch to Lord John Russell, giving an account of his conversation with M. de Schieinitz en the Savoy question, has thrown the Prussian diplomacy into a terrible flutter, Not that it con- ‘ais apything discreditable to them, or anything with which the publié were not tolerably well acquainted before, Dut it completely upsets aM their ideas of official secresy tohave their negotiations trumpeted forth to the world while they are still pending, or to have opinions fixed upon them which they are mot able to act up to, and which, therefore, at some future moment they may think advisa- ble to disown. It is impossible, they say, to pursue any regular line of policy, if England comes with her Bluo Book, and betrays everything to the profane vulgar ere the first steps you take have led to any tangible result. It is like discugsing your most private affairs in the marke, Place, or discovering your hand at cards to your adversa- ry. M. de Schleinitz vows that Lord Bloomfield has mis- Ha represented his words, and that he did not express his to ing “(distrust’”’ of the French Emperor in the offensive man- relal in ner ascribed to him, but there is no reagon to doubt that roby the statement given by the British ambassador is in the main correct. The Prussian statesmen are excessively alarmed at the annexation of Savoy. ‘They very natu- rally view itas a precedent that may be used at some fature day against their Rhenish provinces, which may be revendiquer as the natural frontiers of the French em- pire in the East, on the same ground as the Alps are in the South. The least they could do, therefore, would be, ‘as M. de Schleinitz intimated, to require France ‘to take no further action in the matter without calling a confe- renoe of the European Powers,” and it was of the highest importance for them to prevail upon England to join them in such a course; but events are now progressing at 80 ac- celerated a pace that in all probability the annexation will be an accomplished fact before the two governments can offer their joint remonstrances. A formal protest will hardly be resolved upon by Prussia; the French Cabinet will have the rebutting argument ready by referring to” the case of Cracow, which was annexed to Austria with the consent and through the co-operation of Prussia and Russia, notwithstanding the protests of France and Eag- land. “ You were the first to break the treaties of 1815,”” Louis Napoleon might say, ‘and you have clearly no right to ingist upon my respecting them more than you did your- selves.”” The cry of ‘‘stop thief’’ comes with an ill grace from the man who has just assisted his confederate in ab- stracting a purse. But, protest or no protest, it is cer- tain that the annexation will produce an entire change in the relations between France and Prussia, which have hitherto ae ymrose di pepe ap.
