partments, together with the military and civil ad.
ministrations, will be maintained in the same con-
ditions.

The decrees of the Prince will bear the signs.
Lure :—By 'delegation of his Majesty the King : the
Prince of Prussia.
The Ministerial journal, Le Temps, announces
that the Prussian Government has directed its re.
presentative at the Diet to demand, without loss of
time, the intervention of the Germanic Confedera-
tion in the Holstein question, and to request the
support of Austria.

With regard to the views of Prussia towards the
Principalities, we learn from good authority (says
a letter from Vienna in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin)
that the policy of Prussia relative to the Principali-
ties has lately undergone a very essential modifica-
tion, and it is very probable that in the Conference
of Paris Prussia will vote curainst the union.

On the 21st inst. Count Lavradio, the Portuguese
Envoy Extraordinary, applied formally to the Prince
of Hohenzollern for the hand of his daughter, the
Princess Stephanie, in the name of his master the
King of Portugal. It is already settled that after
the preliminary espousals by proxy the bride elect is
to proceed to Lisbon in the steam yacht Grille,
which will be convoyed thither by the frigate Thetis,
which has just been commissioned nominally for a
cruise in the Mediterranean.
According to the latest arrangements, Prince .
Frederick William will come to England in the early
part of next month, and stay at our Court until after
the birthday of the Princess Royal.
LISBON.
The terrible fever, which some declare to be the
real vomito, and which is ravaging this city, con-
tinues to spread. The deaths average from eighty
to ninety daily. The King is behaving in the most
kingly manner. He refuses to leave the palace of
the Necessidades, daily rides through the streets of
Lisbon, and does everything in his power to calm the
fears of his people. The movement everywhere
(says one writer), and among all classes, is to get out
of the town and into the open county} :
So many people have left Lisbon that the altered
state of things is obvious to everybody. There is no
appearance of life, no business—the shops are shut up;
no carriages wake the echoes of the silent streets ; on
'Change it is the same, hardly a dozen merchants are to be
found at the hours of business: few bills are negotiated,
and everything in the shape of trade is paralysed.
THE NEW SPANISH MINISTRY.
The Cabinet is now definitively constituted,
and is as follows :—President of the Council and
Minister of War, General Armero ; Foreign Affairs,
Martinez de la Rosa ; Justice, Casaus ; Finance,
Alexandro Mon ; Marine, Admiral Bustillo; Gober•
nacion, Bermudez de Castro ; Interior, Salaveria ;
Governor of Madrid, Marquis de Corbera.
TURKEY.
Redschid Pacha has once more returned to power.
Further Ministerial modifications are expected.
The Courrier de Constantinople of the 21st
announces that a great financial operation is pro-
jected by the Turkish Government with the Ottoman
Bank. It is to involve a loan of 200,000,000 francs
at ten per cent., destined to liquidate the debts of the
civil list, to withdraw a portion of the paper money,
and to restore the exchanges to their normal state.

AMERICA.
The intelligence from America, which reaches
down to the I 7th inst., is on the whole satisfactory.
The great monetary crisis is considered to be at end.
The banks have g'nerally resolved to suspend specie
payments.
A 3espatch from Washington says :
It is not true, as stated, that the Government of Ni-
caragua have recognised and agreed to the details of the
treaty with that Republic adopted at a Cabinet meeting.
The question is still under consideration. Yrissari, the
Minister of Nicaragua, has left for New York. The
statement that Lord Napier had given orders to the British
squadron in the Gulf to arrest the Filibusters is wholly
untrue.

There had been some rioting at Baltimore.
