GERMANY.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Berlin, Jan. 13,
says: " A royal decree has just appeared, ret.toriug
the Council of State. The Minister Vun Manteutia
is nominated President ad interim."

It was stated in Vienna that an immediate levy of
80,000 men is to take place in the course of a month.
The gendarmerie were also to be reinforced. The
treaty of commerce between Austria and Turkey
had reached Vienna, ratified by the Porte.
The Suabiwa .merry states that the Wiirtemberg
Railway loan has been taken at par by the houses of
M. A. Rothschild and Sons, and the Brothers Ilene-
, diet. The statement that Austrian troops, to the
number of 4,000 men, were about to settle perma-
nently in Hamburg, and that barracks were about to
'be built for their accommodation, has been warmly
contradicted by the Prussian government papers.
The .loburg Allyr»irine Zeiler's!, was seized last
week at Munich, a misfortune such as had not
befallen that celebrated journal within the last
twenty-five years.
Experiments on the rapidity attainable for ex-
press railway trains are being made. From the Ist
April the journey from Berlin to Cologne will bo
made in thirteen hours, or at the rate of fitty-tive
English miles in the hour. The German railroads
are doing very good business, and paying buproving
dividends.

A *,tter, dated Berlin, Jan. 12, states that the de
u the motion above referred to excited more
thin :ALA interest, the galleries not having been so
crosikd dating any former debate of the session.
ihv motion of M. Claesscn and his supporters called
se the house to declare illegal the conduct of the go-
v‘mmt at is forfeiting the trading licenses of printers
vast booksellers without trial, prohibiting the eon-
maw, of certain newspapers by the post, and
diem aing to extend the same prohibition to others.
Ttre am. ailments were moved, all alike for pro-
etilng to the "order of the day," and differing
sc't to thiir reasons or motives for doing so; the
b.. titov,il by Eynern, stated, that though it
sto mainly true the Chamber had refused to the
eamment the power of forfeiting the licenses to
nary oa business, or refuse conveyance by the post,
br mere order of the executive, yet it by no means
anted that such measures, if carried into effect, are
that the Chamber ham not the right coned-
ft:totally to decide by its own resolution merely
this or any other legal controversy on the construc-
t:: ofa Low, and that it was rather to be expected
that he government would itself take steps to settle
the doolgs raised on the question in a regular man-
arr For these reasons no discussion of the motion
vas :dvisable. and the " order of tho day" moved.
th,‘erred amendment of M. Landfermann also ad-
mud that the forfeitures and prohibitions were not
jtsfl,d by the letter of the law; but also stated that
the di•pulo could not be settled by a vote of the
lewd Chamber alone, and though it was notorious
lathe prohibitions and forfeitures had been en-
forted. and more were threatened, yet it was not
Fold that they were made on the authority of the
Laatry. or were approved by it; that it must I
tither he assumed the government would only
salorig measures in all respects legal, and on
Meal would justify no others, but that for any
lotitai measures taken by its subordinate officials it
woad furnish a remedy ; on these grounds, there-
fore, the "order of the day" was again recommend-I
rd. The third amendment, moved by M. Reichena-
Pew. was simply a declaration that it was not ex-
act the Chamber should discuss a question now
1,19,‘ the proper authorities, and awaiting their de-
aeon.

M. von Manteuffel then read the following coin-

stating that more severity rather than lees was re-

Government ought, in fact, to be absolute. After
a speech from M. Vincke, severely condemn-
ing the Government for the threat by which it
had met the motion, without giving any explanations
of facts, the " simple" order of the day was moved
from the extreme Hight. This motion puts an end
to all discussion ; but on this occasion it was rejected
by an immense majority, and the debate adjourned
till to-morrow. At the opening of the bitting the
resignation of several Deputies was announced;
many others have applied for leave of absence.
