      PRUSSIA . The Grand Duchess Dowager , mother of the Princess of Prussia ( grandmother of Prince Frederick William" ) , and aunt of the Emperor Alexander , died this e rening at eight o ' clock . The Independance Helge says : — " VVe received this morning from Paris anew version of the proposals said to have been put forward by Prussia with a View of re-establishing the peace and maintaining the equilibrium of power in Europe . Lpmbardy would be annexed to Piedmont , Parma , Modena , and Tuscany restored to their legitimate sovereigns , the authority of the Pope re-established in the Legations , Venice converted into an independent State , and , finally , the four famous fortresses

      of the Mincio annexed to the Germanic Confederation , which would thus , by the influence of her neutrality and the power of her garrison , preserve Loinbardy from any aggressive attempt on the part of Austria against the rights -which Piedmont will have acquired by conquest . In this form the Prussian proposals are , without doubt , more in harmony with existting facts , and consequently more acceptable to France and Piedmont , but for the same reason it appears to us doubtful whether Austria will be willing to subscribe , to them . The correspondent who reports these proposals to us , places great confidence in their efficacy . We put them forward , however , without sharing his optimism , and , indeed , expressing the uncertainty we feel as to the authenticity of his information . "

      The Journal des Deltals , alluding to this subject , sayS : —Our usual correspondence from Berlin informs us of an unexpected incident which retards for a time the execution of their military arrangements . According to this information , the Bavarian Government has refused to allow Prussian troops to pass through its territory , until the Prussian Government shall have answered a series of questions as to tho meaning and purpose of tho resolutions it has taken .

      KING VICTOR EMMANUEL . The 3 ioniteur of this ( Friday ) morning contains a note explaining the character of the dictatorship offered in Italy on all sides to the King of Sardinia and the conclusion drawn that Piedmont wishes to ' unite all Italy in one State without consulting the populations and the great Powers . Such conjectures have , it says , no foundation . The people , whether delivered or abandoned , wish to make common cause against Aiistria , and with that intention they place themselves under the protection of the King of Sardinia ; but the dictatorship is a power purely temporary , which , whilst unitingcommon forces in the same hands , in no way prejudices any future combination .
