GERMANY.

The Emperor of Austria went a few days on his
annual visit to Ischl, but his journey is unconnected
with political events. His Majesty returned to Vienna
on Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock. An hour
later Feldzeagmeister Hess was with him.
The army corps under Prince Francis Lichten-
stein is ordered to advance from Pesth to Galicia.
The Austrian army in Galicia is moving towards the
frontiers. Archduke Albrecht, has removed his head.
quarters to Cronstadt, in the south-east corner of
Transylvania.
The diplomatist Gortschakoff has been informed
that after the Emperor of Austria has joined the
army no further negotiations relative to the evacua-
tion of the principalities can be carried on.
Their Prussian Majesties left Berlin on the 20th
for Bamberg, whence they continue their journey to
Nymplienburg.
The grand autumnal manceuvres of the sth
(Posnanian) and 6th Silesian) corps d'armie are
ordered to commence upon the 20th of August. The
corps will work separately and by divisions at first,
and then concentrate for combined work in the
presence of the King, somewhere within reach of
Breslau.
A despatch from Munich of the 28th, in the Moni-

tour, says:—
" The King of Prussia Arrived last evening at the chu•
tean of Nymphenburg. The King of Wurtemburg is to
come to-day to Munich, and in a few days the King of
Saxony and the Prince Regent of Baden are expected."
The blockade of Russian. Baltic ports has produced
results which nothing else would probably have
effected. By a ukase of the sth ult. a modification

727

on import and transit duties has been ordained upon
107 articles, to the amount, in some instances, of
from 20 to 25 per cent. Prussia benefits largely
from the temporary modifications. Bales of goods
can now be transported from Memel, or from any
place in I'russia, to St. Petersburg, Moscow, Riga,
Ice., without being detained, opened, and ransacked
at the frontier. Letters from East Prussia state that
the demand for flax is so much greater than the
supply from Russia that foreign agents purchase all
they can meet with in that province, and export the
same as Russian produce. It is added that much
larger breadths of land will be sown with this article
than has been the case heretofore.

DENMARK.
The King of Denmark, assuming that autocratic
power against which the Diet has frequently pr.-
tested in advance, issued on the 29th ult. an edict
decreeing a new political organisation for the entire
mous: ...y. A council of the realm is to be formed,
and to be composed of fifty notables, who will meet
at Copenhagen once in two years, and have a deli-
berating voice respecting new taxes, but only a con-
sultative voice in other matters of finance. The sit-
tings of the body will not be public, and its president
will be named by the King.

SWEDEN.
The Minister of War in Sweden has addressed a
circular to all the military governors of the kingdom,
demanding the space of time which it would require
to concentrate all the troops in garrison in the dif-
ferent localities on one given point. It is supposed
that this measure is the preliminary to the formation
of an army to be ready to march where circumstances
might demand its presence.
