The following telegraphic dispatch received from
Berlin, is published in the Cologne Gazette of yes-
terday :
BERLIN, APRIL 19.
To-day took place the opening of the congress of
the Zollverein. M. do Mantenffel, president of the
council of ministers, pronounced the opening speech,
is which ho expressed regret that circumstances had
not permitted the government to convoke the eon-
gm:sooner. He manifested, at the same time, the
that the deliberations would lead to a re-
newal of the Zollverein, and that it might be
extended to other states by means of consti-
tutive treaties, which would draw closer the existing
union by creating at the same time new interests
destined to develope material prosperity. Colonel
Meixner, plenipotentiary of Bavaria, answered
the speech of the minister. He expressed
his snail that Austria should bo admitted
to participate in the deliberations of the Congress
by the organ of a plenipotentiary; but ho did not
fix any preens period for this admission.

On the 15th the Bavarian minister, von der Pford-
ten, handed to the President of the Second Chamber
a written request that the chamber might give the
cabinet the accessary authorisation for treating at
the Berlin emigres. with the other Zollverein states
on matters touching the finances of the kingdom.
In the course of this document the Bavarian govern-
ment complains of the one-sided treaty made
by Prussia with Hanover, and declares that it
changes the principles of the Zollverein, and
must have the effect of restricting the freedom of the
impending negotiations. On the other band, it is
satisfactory to the Bavarian government to know that
the reconstruction of the Zollverein opens a prospect
of its development, not only in a northward direc-
tion, but also towards the south-east of Germany,
through the proposals for a general Germanic cus-
tom' union which are made by Austria. The esta-
blishment of such a union, but a few years back the
subject only of audacious hopes, is now so practicable
that its accomplishment depends on nothing bat a
determined will. With such a will Bavaria will
enter upon the deliberations at Berlin.
