MARCH 25, 1.85

Tuning for having published a letter from M.
Manin, an Italian refugee. L'Orientais, a paper
published at Lorient, has received a second warning
for divulging intelligence respecting the preparations
now being made for the expedition to the East.
PRUSSIA.
M. ManteufTel made his expected application to
the Chamber for a loan of thirty million Prussian
dollars on Saturday last, and in doing so declared
that Prussia would avoid war, preserve an indepen-
dent attitude, and stand ready to protect German in-
terests. Prussia, he said, does not disclaim her
share in the Vienna note, but her sword will not be
drawn except to defend German interests. The
King's Government had come to an understanding
with the Austrian Cabinet on that subject, and
would yield to no pressure from any quarter.
The project of the loan and the proposed increase
of taxation have mg experienced a favourable re-
ception. People would have preferred that the Go-
vernment bad come under some formal engagement
on the Eastern question. The discussion of the
subject in the Chambers will doubtless be very ani•
mated.
The Berlin Government has absolutely prohibited
the transit of arms.
The English Government have applied to engage
sixty Prussian pilots at Swinemunde, the port of
Stettin.

AUSTRIA.
The Austrian Correspondenz of Tuesday confirms
the perfect agreement between the Vienna and Berlin
Cabinets. The interest (it says) which Austria must
protect are identical with the interests of Germany.
If all Germany is firmly united no power on earth
dare dispute its perfect liberty of future action, which
will be decisive for the welfare of Europe. An offen-
sive and defensive alliance between Austria and
Prussia is spoken of.
The subscriptions on the new Austrian loan were
closed on Wednesday. Even more than the re-
quired amount of fifty millions of florins has been
subscribed. Messrs. Rothschild have subscribed ten
millions towards it ; Baron G. Sins has subscribed
five millions.
The Austrian consul at Bucharest has declared
that if the Russians pass the Danube the Austrians
would pass the Carpathians, in order to occupy Wal•
Ischia.
Major Toms, attaché to the Prince of Schwartzen-
berg, on the staff of Prince Gortachakoff, for the
purpose of surveying the movements of the Rus-
sians, has just been recalled by the Austrian Govern-
ment. This recal has produced a great sensation
among the Russians. It has been considered as a
first step towards a rupture between Austria and
Russia.

Hamburg is rejoicing in an accession of trade
arising out of the present warlike aspect of affairs.
England orders hams, sausages, and other prepa-
rations of animal food, while Russia orders what she
wants in the way of English products, coals, twist,
iron, &c., from this free and ancient republic.

DENMARK.
In Copenhagen the Ministerial crisis continues.
Hitherto the Cabinet has refused to give way, while
on the other hand the Parliament suspends the
passing of the Finance Bill. This has given rise to
innumerable guesses and combinations, especially as
his Majesty gave the deputation to understand that
at least Orsted and Sponneck would retire.
Admiral Napier arrived at Copenhagen in a steam-
frigate on Monday, and disembarked. The King, it
is said, would shortly receive him. The British fleet
was in sight.
SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
The Hereditary Prince, son of the Prince Royal of
Sweden, died on the 13th.
The Norwegian Diet, following the example of that
of Sweden, has voted the sums demanded by the
Government for the national armaments.
ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the sth, in the Messagere
di Modena, states that it is the intention of the com-
mander in-chief of the French forces at Rome to
establish an entrenched camp near Civita Vecchia,
with a view to fortify that place on the land side, and
that a preliminary survey has already been made
with that view by the French engineers.
SPAIN.
The Finance Minister has terminated a negotia-
tion with the Bank of St. Ferdinand, the result of
which will be an advance to the Government of fifty
millions, on very advantageous terms.
The officers and sergeants of the Regiment of
Cordova who have fled to France have been sum-
moned to present themselves before the proper
authorities at Saragossa, unless they wish to be con-
sidered as deserters and treated accordingly.
TURKEY.
A letter from C onstantinople of the 12th an-
nounces the departure from Beicos of two French
