GERMANY.

The conference of the Sovereigns at Teschen has
taken place, and the King of Prussia returned to
Berlin on the 10th inst. His Majesty was received
at the Austrian frontier, and afterwards at Teschen,
by the Emperor and Empress of Austria, with the
utmost possible cordiality. The subsequent con-
sultations also seem to have passed over in amicable
fashion. After dining together in state we are told
that the two Sovereigns withdrew to hold council,
whilst Counts Buol and de Thun on the one side,
and M. de Manteuffel and Count Alvensleben (sent
for expressly from Vienna) on the other, likewise
retired, and held a deliberation, which lasted until
a late hour. After the interview was over, the
Emperor of Austria decorated several of the official
personages who had accompanied the King of Prussia,
and the latter in turn presented orders to some of
the Austrian State functionaries. On returning, the
King of Prussia expressed himself highly gratified
and satisfied with the results of his visit.

SATURDAY,

What these results were, or indeed what were the
precise topics which came under deliberation on the
occasion, we are not informed. It is stated that no
document was drawn up and even no pen put to
paper at the conference. The Paris Moniteur,
however, publishes an omcial despatch from Vienna
of the 13th, stating that

" the Austrian Government congratulates itself upon
the results of the interview at Teschen. The Cabinets of
Vienna and Berlin are agreed as to the reply to be made
to the objections of the Conference of Bamberg, and u to
the means of obviating the difficulties which those objet.
Lions excite. Colonel Manteuffel is about to set off for St.
Petersburg, and will be the bearer of a despatch from the
Prussian Cabinet in support of the summons 'addressed to
Russia by Austria."

On Tuesday last the King of Prussia left for the
eastern provinces, to inspect the troops and public
works in those districts. The Prince of Prussia also
left Berlin that same day to inspect the troops and
to join the King at Konigsberg.
Respecting the Bamberg Conference alluded to in
the despatch given in the Moniteur, the following
details are given by the Dkbats :
" The States represented at the Conference were the four
kingdoms of Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and Wirtemberg ;
the Grand Duchy of Hesse, Electoral Hesse, Baden, and
Nassau. The Conference of Bamberg had its origin with
the dispute between Austria and Prussia about the Cue-
some Union, and was got up by Austria for her own pur-
poses; but the States, having on that occasion caused their
power to be felt, have remained in coalition, and have even
the pretension to overrule the Germanic Diet. On the
Eastern question they have shown a strong disposition to
support the Prussian policy ; and when Prussia had, by
the diplomacy of Austria, aided by the influence of the
Western powers, consented to sign an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Austria, the Conference of Ramberg
resolved to attempt to undo all that had been done in the
interest of France and England, and to turn against Austria
the weight which that power had given to the States coin-
posing it by forming them into a coalition. With this
view, whilst the Conference of Bamberg declared that it
adhered to the principle of the Austro•Prussian treaty, it
laid down as a condition that the question of absolute in-
tervention should be subjected to it—that is to say, that
the Conference of Bamberg should have the right to say
when neutrality should be departed from, and that no step
should be taken without its sanction. This state of things
rendered au interview of the Sovereigns of the two great
German States necessary."

Accounts from Berlin, of the llth, repeat the
rumour that the army in Silesia is to be mobilised.
Sunday last, the 11th, was celebrated with many
festivities in the Court circles of Berlin, as being the
" silver-wedding" day, that is, the twenty-fifth anni-
versary of the marriage, of the Prince and Princess of
Prussia. On Monday and Tuesday deputations from
the city of Berlin and principal towns of Prussia
waited on their royal highnesses with congratulations
on the occasion, which was also marked with sundry
observances of festive and respectful characterin the
capital and provinces of the kingdom.

ITALY.
The King of Naples has prohibited the (import of
sulphur from Sicily to any port of the belligerent
nations.

SPAIN.
Alarming rumours of an approaching "emeute have
been current in Madrid for several days. On the Bth
the capital was still quiet, but it was said that the
popular rising was only postponed for a week.
The Bank of San Fernando has undertaken to pay
the next dividends.

TURKEY.
From Constantinople on the sth instant we receive
news of another change in the Ministry. Redschid
Pacha retires from office; Chekib Effendi is ap-
pointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in his room ;
Kiamil Pacha is President of the Council ad interim;
Kernel Effendi is Ambassador to Berlin, and Karadia
Ambassador to the Hague.
Namid Pacha has returned to Constantinople after
having failed in all the attempts which be made
during six months in Paris and London to contract&
loan in the name of the Turkish Government.
Colonel Beatson, who had a command in the Nl-
zam's irregular cavalry in India, has arrived in Con-
stantinople. He is to receive a command of 4,000
Bashi Bazouks, and will no doubt do all that is pos-
sible to turn them into good soldiers.
A grand dinner was given on the 30th ult. at the
British embassy to the Duke of Cambridge. The
chief incident in the evening was the speech of M.
von Bruck, the Austrian Internuncio. His of cel
lency proposed the independence and integrity the
Ottoman empire, and declared that his Government
was ready to uphold the principle laid down in the
protocol of the four powers. He applauded the firm-
ness of the Western powers, which was likely to
result in a settlement such as would be beneficial to
Europe, and afford assurances of a permanent peace.
Three cheers were given at this declaration, the
British Ambassador giving the signal. In after"
conversation the Internuncio declared himself autho-
rised to use the expressions which had elicited
much applause.
