GERMANY.

The Gazette of Darmstadt publishes an official
communication made by Austria and Prussia to the
Germanic Diet, relative to the Eastern question.
After announcing the extent to which he proposes to
disarm, the Emperor of Austria says that he has no
intention to take part in the hostilities between
Turkey and Russia. On the contrary, he has chosen
the present moment for effecting a partial disarma-
ment, in order to give a new guarantee of his pacific
sentiments, and of his confidence in the amicable
termination of the dispute; and that his Government
ventures to encourage and to express the hope that
its attitude, and the tendency of its policy, will find,
in the deliberate judgment of the other Govern-
ments of Germany, such an appreciation as will
tranquillise their anxieties. In conclusion, the Eni-
remr trusts that they will give him their effective
support and assistance. The Prussian Envoy con-
curred in these sentiments.

Several Wallaehian boyardes.and their families
have arrived at Vienna t►nm llticharest. Amongst
them are Prince Soulzo, M. Cambisse, M. Catorno,
and others of distinction. The Hospodar Prince
Stirbey, who had arrived previously at Vienna, paid
court visits to most of these boyards. The Prince
has, however, received an intimation to abbreviate
his stay in Vienna. He intends to proceed to Paris.
The King of Prussia has convoked the Chambers
for the 28th inst.

The Post Ampt Gazette says that the Germanic
Diet has voted by a great majority the proposition
to vote 100,00 U thalers, in ease the Germanic Con-
federation should find itself led into a war.

The Cologne Gazette states that great want of
money is felt in Electoral Hesse, so that it is almost
in contemplation to suspend the payment of the sa•
laries of the public functionaries. A million of
florins had been in vain asked for, as an advance,
front the firm of Rothschild. No one will take the
bonds of Electoral Hesse.

The difficulties that have arisen between the Grand
Duke of Baden and the Archbishop of Friburg ap.
pear to grow more complicated. The archbishop
shows no signs of yielding. He published an address
to the Ministry, maintaining that ho was not bound
to submit to the Senate laws of the country. On the
10th a ducal decree was published, attaching to the
prelate a special commissioner, without whose signa-
ture no decision of the archbishop, nor any public
measure in his name, will be executed or recognised
in the Grand Duchy. The special commissioner
appointed is M. de Barger. The archbishop re-
torted on the l 4th by issuing a decree of excommu-
nication against the superior members of the
Ecclesiastical Council.

BELGIUM.

King Leopold, on the 11th inst., received a depu-
tation from the Senate, presenting the address in
reply to the speech from the throne. Ilia Majesty
replied :

" The address causes me lively satisfaction. I find in
it the expression of the sentiments to which the Senate
has long accustomed me. To consolidate Belgian na-
tionality, by developing the moral and material eondition
of the country, is a tusk worthy of all our sympathies. In
assuring to my troventment its loyal co-operation, the
Senate gives me a new testimony of its patriotic de.
vuteduess."
