There is hardly any fresh news. of importance from any
quarter.of . the Continent.
In the French Assembly, yesterday, M. Jules Tavremade an elaborate attack on the Government; endeavouring, by a multitude of minute de- tails to establish the charge that the Government has been using the offi- cial; of the Post office to further the chances of General Cavaignac's elec- tion to the -Presidency. M. Dufaure replied successfully Ma long, and elo- quent speech.
The Regent of Germany has issued.= address "to the German People."
He cites the deplorable schism between the Crown and Parliament in Prussia, ending in the Assembly's resolution to prohibit the levying of taxes. The voice of passion, has been heard and passion begets passion; but the Imperial Assembly has tittered the soothing words of. peace. It has solemnly pledged itself.termain- Min the rights insured and promised, but has declared the resolution of the Prus- sian Deputies to be null android. He then apostrophizes each party in turn. "Prussians! the decision of the Imperial Assembly is supreme law to all." " Germans! I will not allow the resolution which endangers the peace of Germany to be carried into effect." " Prussians ! avoid illegality and violence— keep the peace, and I will maintain it also." "Germans! stand by me, and I will stand by you." The long-desired object is nearly within grasp. The labours of the Constitution are nearly ended, and " our beautiful fatherland will be power- nil in unity and freedom !"
There had been no political change in Berlin up to the evening of the 21st. Keen winds and snow-storms kept perfect order in the streets.
The Paris papers of yesterday confirm previous rumours' that Count Rossi had been killed at Rome by an-assassin; -but no details had arrived. Ludwig von Sohwantater, the classic sculptor of Munich, •died on the 14th instant, in his forty-seventh year.
