GERMANY AND THE MIDRIBS.

Letters from Berlin state that the two powers
are on the point of coming to an understanding
with the Diet as to the future government of the
Duchies. At Vienna it is suspected that France,
Russia, and England are about to overthrow the
preliminaries of peace and adhere to the personal
union. A secret treaty ban, therefore, it is alleged,
been concluded between the two German
powers consisting of four clauses--let. Prussia
engages to submit the question of succession to the
Diet ; 2nd. Sleewig Holstein shall enter the Zoll-
verein ; 3rd. Rendsborg shall become a federal for-
tress ; 4th. A certain solidarity shall be established
between the land and sea forces of the new state
and those of Prussia.

FRANC&
PARIS, Sin. 24, MORNING.
The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article
examining the Franco-Italian treaty, shows that
the imperial government has been faithful to its
mission. Ever convinced that the temporal
power of the Pope was not opposed to the liberty
and independence of Italy, it was sufficient for the
government to know how to await the proper
moment to effect a solution, which should at one
and the same time put an end to the retrograde
tendencies of the Holy See, and the revolutionary
tendencies of Italy. We ought to congratulate
ourselves that time bas rendered possible the
combinations which will accomplish this double
result so necessary to the tranquillity of Europe.

THE RIOTS IN TURIN.
LOCARNO, Sm. 24.

Advises from Turin to the 22nd inst. say :
" The mob, after repeatedly insulting the soldiers
at the Hotel de Ville, were at last fired upon by
the troops several times, and numbers were
wounded. Several arrests were made. Among
those wounded and arrested several were found
armed with daggers and revolvers. Tranquillity
was restored at 11 o'clock at night."

AN AUSTRIAN LOAN.
VIENNA, Sm. 23. EvetrniG.

The A bendpost (the evening edition of the official
Weiner Zeitung) of to-day says :—" It was owing to
the relations of Austria both at home and abroad
that she has hitherto failed in concluding a loan.
Now, however, the position has changed. Instead
of an absence of producers and an importation
exceedingthe exports, producers are now numerous,
and our exports are considerable, trade, commerce,
and shipping being thereby favourably influenced.
Taxes are most regularly paid. A speedy conclu-
sion of peace will cause the extraordinary war ex-
penses to cease, and the outlay already incurred
will be returned by Denmark. We may, therefore,
hope that the moment is favourable to the negotia
tions of a loan, if not abroad, at least at home."
