GERMANY.

The resignation of M. de Wintzingerode, minister
of Nassau, marks the triumph of Austrian diplomacy
in another German state. M. do Wintzingerode suc-
ceeded M. Hergenhahn, the minister of March, 1848,
when the latter was compelled to retire before the
necessity of abandoning the constitution of 1848,
and accepting that of the three kings' league of May,
1849. From that time Nassau his been faithful to
the Prussian system, and only acknowledged the au-
thority of the restored diet when the Manteutfel
cabinet consented to de so. Since that period M.
IWintzingerode his followed the course of events, and
lately countersigned the ordinance by which the duke
abolished the constitution. It is stated that his re-
signation was immediately caused by his refusal to
sanction a measure by which the domains of the
state were to be declared the private property of the
prince. The government of Nassau, which his for
some time voted in the Diet against Prussia, will
now abandon itself all the more readily to its new
policy.
The municipal council of Vienna resigned in a
body on the 27th ult.
A letter from Radstadt of the 24th, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, says:—" Notwithstanding the tran-
quillising news which have been received from
France, the measures adopted relative to the fortress
have been maintained. Before the Carlsruhe post
another gate, defended by pallisades, has been sits
blished. However, the Baden fortress of the gar-
rison has only been slightly increased, and it is not
true that any army of the Upper Rhine exists."

BERLIN, Dec. 28.
The dialculty of bringing the question about the
German fleet to a conclusion, arises from the circum-
stance that Hanover ardently desires its preservation
and development, because it would naturally, from
its geographical position, gain the largest slue of
Maumee and patronage in a federal navy. Prussia
and Austria* would, if consulting their own wishes
alone, soon break up the embryo flotilla ; but they
desist so long as they both pay court to Hanover, as
an important element in the pending contest for the
direction of German commercial policy. Baron von
Koller, hitherto Austrian ambassador at London, has
bees adored to Hanover, in order to back the influ-
ence of his court with his well-known energy.
Prussia, it is now reported, will send to the Vienna
conference, not a delegate, but a reporter, for whose
admission negotiations have been commenced. The
Berlin conference of the Zollverein delegates is an-
nounced for the 27th January, somewhat earlier
than was formerly intended. On the 20th inst. the
members of the Frankfort Diet made their definite
embrations relating to the draft of a coin-
Munial convention, drawn up in Dresden and
indeed with the help of special delegates at Frank-
art. Prussia, Mecklenburg, and llolstein refused
their assent. M. von Manteuffel has from the out-
set inflexibly refused to be accessory to any inter-
ference of the Diet in commercial arrangements, well
knowing that the Diet would become a mere vehicle
for establishing Austrian authority over them. The
Diet has, indeed, no right of deciding on tariff ques-
tions it can only offer its mediation, with a view to
dheling unanimous agreements; but even this dß-
dames@ Prussia resists, lest it may be made a we-
eniest for usurping further authority. Besides this
IC:of principle, however, Prussia takes care, at VelLet critical moment, not to bind itself in any
Mr whatever towards parties, against whom it may
Nee be driven to defend itself by all allowed means
of repulse and retaliation; it therefore declines sign-
in a which would deprive it of the
of imposing differential duties, transit duties,
tolls, and the like, on the commerce of German
states, many of whom may, perhaps, exclude Prus-
sian products by high protective duties.
Dec. n.
The resignation of the Austrian Minister of
Finance, M. Von Krauss, took the people of Vienna
wholly by surprise, no circumstance indicative of
seek change having previously transpired ; nor is
relative to the cause yet known. M. Von
having been nominated u his sac-
emir, time is a vacancy in the Ministry of Trade.
Tim ,Auntrian Minister for the Home Department,
De. Doi, has again been made to feel the irrecon-
Muth disfavour with which the Russian court re-
issuing his former liberalism. It will be remem-
bered list the Emperor of Austria was obliged to
exclude him from the visit to Olmilts, the Cur
having expressed his disinclination to receive his
which was the more awkward, because Dr. Back, V
the full expectation of being presented, had shaved
off a very line beard, Russian etiquette not tolerating
such excrements in civilian visages. H. hes new
been pointedly excluded from the grand &pins*
dinners given at Vienna by the Russian ambassador,
Baron Von Meyondorff.
The renewed commercial treaty between the Zol-
verein and Belgium reserves for Prussia the right of
with three months' - the let of

cancelling it, notice, on
January, 1853. The most important alteration made
is, that Belgian pig iron, hitherto admitted at • duty
of 10s. per ton, while pig iron from other ports pays
20a., will in future have to pay 15s. A claim made
by Belgium, for securing the admission of piratic
editions of books, has been rejected, on the ground
that a treaty with France, for the mutual protection
of copyright, is proposed.
=The Hanoverian plenipotentiary at Frankfort has
declared his government's assent to the convention
for mutual facilitation of commerce, on condition that
Austria continue in its relinquishment of the prohi-
bitive system; and that the convention be a general
federal measure, having force only when it shall
have received the adhesion of all German states. If,
therefore, Prussia persist in standing aloof, Hanover
is not bound by its present assent.
The Knits*: &Rung pretends to have heard that
Bavaria has distinctly declared its intention of ad-
hering to the Zollverein, with full confidence in
Prussia. Letters from Nassau state that the mercan
