BERLIN, AUG. 7.

protest against the incorporation of the duchy of
Laueaburg into the state of Denmark; the duke
claims the reversion of Lauenburg in the name of the
Ernestine branch of the Saxon family.

The congress of ministers of the coalition govern-1
ments takes plane on the 10th inst. at Stuttgart. The
south German press begins toadvocate the preservation
of the Zollverein with more than usual warmth ; and
as far as one can judge from the tone of semi-official
journals, the coalitionists seem pretty generally to
repent their Darmstadt treaty. The question is,
whether, even if they desire it, they can extricate
themselves from that treaty P I have been assured
by a person who has good sources of information that
Saxony, which was at first one of tho moat violent
promoters of the coalition, has been so much shaken
by remonstrances from the Saxon merchants and
manufacturers, that it has sent M. Von Beast to
Vienna with the commission to do his utmost towards
breaking up the coalition and retracting the pledges
given in final protocol of the Vienna conferences. It
possible that this be true. If so, it is highly
important, and will lead matters to a speedy con-
clusion. If Saxony, as well u Wurtemberg and
Baden, show signs of deserting the coalition, Austria
must either interpose its full authority, and back its
will by an armed demonstration, or it must retire
altogether, and leave Prussia in full possession of the
field.

The Belgian government seems to be damaging its
credit by its railway undertakings. It has guaranteed
4 per cent. interest on the stock of the new Dutch-
Belgian Junction line, in spite of which no money
could be raised in London. The necessary sum has
at length been negotiated here, but only as four-and-
half per cent. stock, and at a discount of 12 per cent.
The judicial authorities of the University of Bonn
lately caused the lodgings of the students to be

ly wounded, and several were arrested.

A junction railway is to built, it us said, from the
Prussian Great Eastern to the Warsaw-St. Peters-
burg line. Russian and Prussian engineers are in-

The Lithographirte Correspondent says :—" im-
mediately upon the marriage of Louis Napoleon with
the Princess Caroline of War, a notification will be
transmitted to the different courts. This notification
would appear the more nerrary, since the marriage
of the Pre.ident with a princess of equal birth ap-
pears to form the preliminary to the foundation or a
new dynasty in Europe. Louis Napoleon, it is stated,
will express himself in this sense. The notification,
it is asserted, will also throw light upon the contin•
gency of the Empire."
