GERMANY.

The Prussian government is concerting measures to
preclude the excess of foreign paper money which is
finding its way into the commerce of the kingdom. A
proposal of this kind has been forwarded to the vari-
ous Chambers of Commerce in Prussia, with a re-
quest that an opinion upon it may be returned
within a week. The necessity of some such pro-
ceeding has long been felt by the commercial public of
Prussia. Although no particular paper is mentioned,
it is well understood that that of Electoral Hesse
is chiefly aimed at, the number and nominal amount '
of the notes issued by the Elector and M. Hessenp•
flag being already altogether out of proportion to
the extent of the state and the number of its inha-
bitants, while a recent arrangement promises to in-
crease them enormously. The credit of the Hessian
state is chiefly based on the commercial intercourse'
of the population with Prussia, in which kingdom,
as can be proved statistically, half its paper
currency circulates. This intercourse the dis-
solution of the Zollverein, threatened by Hesse
Cassel among other states, would suspend, and
since the states with whom, under such cir-
cumstances Hesse would be in relations of commerce,
have already more paper money of their own than
they can get rid of, the Hessian currency must
of necessity undergo depreciation of a must serious
character.

The ministers Buol-Sehanenstein and Bach left
Vienna on the 22nd to meet the Emperor at Pesth.

BERLIN, June 24.
The Leipsie Gazette and the Zeit confirm the
important news that the Austrian government
has invited the states of the Darmstadt coali-
tion to a renewed conference at Vienna,for the purpose
of settling the arrangements pointed to in the third
Darmstadt protocol; Austria is to engage itself,
namely, to form a Zoliverein with the coalition
states, and to guarantee them a customs' revenue equal
to nine-tenths of their present receipts, in case they
secede from the union with Prussia. It can
hardly be supposed that Austria would take this step
without previously having assured itself of the wil-
lingness of the coalitionists to quit Prussia and join
Austria. It really appears as if the southern states
were proceeding in good earnest to split
the present Zollvercin. If they really send
plenipotentiaries to Vienna, the negotiations in
Berlin must of course be broken off; the step would
form an irretrievable breach, and could not be re-
garded as a mere manoeuvre fur trying the adversary's
resolution. Matters certainly do stand very cnti-
cally. The coalition states are preparing a conjoint
reply to the l'russian declaration of the 7th June,
wherein they are reported to repeat their demands
as an ultimatum, and to conclude with requesting a
prompt decision, in order that they may prepare the
measures rendered necessary by the dissolution of
the present union. The Calayne Gazette states that
the draft of this reply has been sanctioned by the
plenipotentiaries of all coalition governments.

The committee on the revision of the Hanoverian
constitution held a sitting on the 22nd, and seemed
hut little disposed to deprive the judges of the right
which they at present possess of dec►ding on their

own competence, in order to transfer it to the High
Court. The committee has decided that Art. 6of
the Constitution, declaring that the exercise of poli-
tical right' is independent of religious belief, shall
not be changed.

The prorogation of the Chambers is expected to
take place in the beginning of next month. The
committee on the Civil Marriage Bill is somewhat
divided. Althouga all the members approve the
principle of the law, some nevertheless do not con-
sider the reform proposed by M. Buoncotupagni as
sufficiently complete, and the greater number arc
anxious to remove all pretext fur a conflict between
the state mid the church. The project regulating
the civil conditions is entirely copied from the Code
Napoleon. It is probable that it will not come under
discussion before the prorogation.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 22nd,
states from a source which, it says, May be relied on,
that the Prince of Monaco is treating with Austria
for the sale of his principality, now, as is well known,
incorporated with Piedmont against his will. The
above paper adds, that both the French and English
governments have expressed their disapprobation of
t such proceedings to the court of Vienna.
