The Berlin correspondent of the Times states, on what would

appear to be official authority, that the Emperor of the French entirely failed in his design at Salzburg. He found that the Southern Governments would not help him to resist Prussia, and that Austria was in no position to make war. He therefore, while sanctioning alarming telegrams, gave up the design, and returned intent on peace. His great preparations, however, have kept up the fear of war till French commerce has begun to suffer, and it has become necessary for the Emperor to explain that he does not regard the unity of Germany as a menace to peace. It is

supposed that some declaration of this kind will be made at the meeting of the Chambers, so as to account for the withdrawal of the Army Reorganization Bill.
