The relations of Prussia with ‘France are especially satisfactory, and the pubtica- Mon of these treaties had no other object than to reassure the North German Parliament respecting the German policy of the Prussian government. The wame paper, speaking of the negotiations between Hol- Mand and Beance relative to Luxemburg, says that the Anitiative in this matter came from the Dutch govern- ment and not from France, and that it would be erro- moous to suppose that the interests of Prussia could in any way be endangered by these negotiations. “Suspocted’’ emigrants were arrested daily, by order ‘of tho British government, at Queenstown.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALO. @brictian Organization Against Turkey The Pert for War—Russin nd Prossia Prepared tor Bvontualities—Turkey, Austrin and Russia thet ee ee Pants, Mareh 26, 1867. Intelligence of an important character begins to come in from the Christian communities of Turkey in Europe, showing the imminence of a very genera! revolution in that region. It is now announced that treaties of alli- ‘ance have beon entered into by Servis, Bulgaria, Monte- Rogro and Greece, by which they engage to sapport each other in an effort to expel the Muesulmans from Europe. ' This information fully bears out the statements of your St, Petersburg correspondent, made week ago, in relation to Eastera affairs, and coming events will still further justify bis repeated predictions that a general uprising will take piace in all the Turkish posseattons ou this continent before the summer comes. The secret Central Committee of Bulgarians has just sent to the Sultan a petition, in which it asks Ite ‘very gracious master and father’ to proclaim the autonomy of Bulgaria, and eabmits the basis on which the people desire the act. irst—They demand a national and constitutional gov- ernment, Seoond—Bulgaria, with all the provinces inhabited vy pen Say cy shall form a State, under the donomi- nation of the Kingdom of bul; ‘Third—Tne Suitan shall add tohis title of ‘ Sultan of the Osmantis,”’ that of King of Huigaria, ‘Pourth—The salian shail alt be crowned as king in ene of the ancient capitals of aon coe by a Christian elected by the [N Assembly, and recog. ‘The National Assembly shal) be composed of ascertain nember of members, elected by a mafority of votes of the people. ‘The memoir is written in the most vigorous style, and is a model State paper. It gives a history of the Bulga- rion affairs, and shows the necessity of the Sulian grant ing the roquests made, and the danger of a refusal. No one who is familiar with Ottoman policy will be- lheve for @ moment that the “ultan will pay the slightest heed to the representations of the Revolutionary Com- mitteo, howover well founded they may be in fact. The more granting of such rights as they demand practically destroys the authority of the Sultan over Bulgaria, be. cause when the National Assembly was once fairly in the saddle no force that the Sultan could exercise would suffice to keep it within bounds. But he will not Naten to the appeals at all, but will strengthen bis gurrisous in the ipee and trust to their activity and vigor to maintain his authority. ‘This is isely what tho Christians most ardently prefer a refusal to a partial extension of cing & fight, and to fnally support their claims. lution could be averted now if Turkey consented to allow ail that the communities The nes ‘end the crash must come in spite effort to escape it. ea have been too carefully elaborated to be inid aside a: ‘he last moment.

Novertholess, if I am to be lieve the information I have reosived, the treaties just Published do not contain the whole extent of the stipula- lion. Thera is till a supplementary article which it has been thought proper to keep secret, in order not to be obliged to submit the treaties to the approbation of the Chambera. The clause in question relates to the organi- zation of an armed force. Count Bismarck does not want more soldiors; he wishes lo have well drelled men," and ho bas therefore stipulated that the contingents of the South should be reorganized on the mode! of the Prussian army, And if any differences arose at the con- ferences, they turned only ona aincle polnt, namely, the sort of flo that ought to be adopted. Military Preparations in Germany. {Mayence (March 17) Correspondence of the Courier of the Palatinate.) What is taking place here {9 worthy of observation, and not without importance. There is au activity in the fortress which can only be compared to that of bees in a beehive. Detachments are continuing to reinforce the garrisou, which 1s now as numerous as whon it was gar. risoned by federal troops. You may judge of the nccu- mulation of arms hero from the fact that the Baden Military Commission bas recoived six thousand needle guns ont of the fortress without causing any approciable void in the arsenal. Contrary to the prac- tice iu other countries, the Prussian army, or at ail events, the garrison of Mayouce, is busy all day. More a 18,000 cartouches are wanufactured daity, and you can judge of the accumulauon of material from the fact that this work is systematicaily going on, The mwni- tions which were left at Rastadt aro being now brought to this place by way of Ladwigshafen. Tho Baden gov- ernment have received 700 quintals of cartouches for the needle guns, The artiliery of the fortress is being a'so Organized, especially with a view of increasing tho Strength of the batterios, We see by this waseless activiiy, pursued tite that of the quiet artisan, with the greatest regularity, that the Prassian stateamen who are now in power havo a clearer and more precise idea of the meaning of an armed peace and of the duties of a standing army than those of other countries where, from tong custom, the army does. no useful work. fo. do not wish to inquire just now what consequences tany be drawn, a8 far as concerns the < and projects of Prussia, . from the activity and zeal wphuch she chibite in the. organization of her mili- lary force.

This disorganization gave them an opportanity ; but if they had failed to take advantage of it, thoy must have bowun de- stroyed. They have chosen a better part. They have consulted their own reputation, as well as the good of their country, in acced ng to the advice tendered to thom, and have resolved to do their best to accomplish a setiloment of reform.

The simple trath is that the association of the two subjects ts perfectly arbitrary, and only adopted as a subterfuge for limiting the numbers of the enfranchised, {From the London Telegraph, March 27.] * Suppose that Mr. Disraeli, contrary to what he Limself said last night, allows his bill to be as clay in the potter's hands, and consents to have it squeezed into decent shape, Still, according to courtesy and cus- tom, the tory government will have the conduct of the measure, It can fix or postpone the nights for the dis- cussion; and, finally, it has charge of the measure in the Lorde: There tho ministers can suffer the scheme to be mutilated and maaled by conservative amend. meee when it eriras the heron magd late in the year—probably when the grouse are getting stro on the wing—Mr. Disraeli can oropose that he amende ments should be accepted by the Lower House.
