"Nov. 11, 1850."
The Nurnbergen Correspondent also publishes the fol-
lowing resolution of the Bund, under the date of Aug. 23rd,
touching restrictions on the press :
" The Diet, acting on the suggestion of the committee of
the Dresden Conferenee, of the 10th of July, touching the
necessary repression of the abuses of the press, calls upon all
the governments of the confederation to use all legitimate
means for the suppression of all journals and periodicals
which pursue atheistic, socialistic, or communist °Weds, or
which tend to the downfall of monarchy, and to par-
ticularly careful that legal means arc not wanting in the
different states to accomplish this purpose. The Bund offers
to the committee one or several special assistants for
drawing up a plan to attain this end, and leaves the choice
of these amstants to themselves."
1 cannot help stopping to remark here upon the calumny
that is cast solemnly by the resolution of the Diet on the
German press. It is designated, by more than mere irde.
rence, as atheistic, socialistic, and communistic, and, as an
enemy to monarchy. Whereas there is really r.ot in the
whole world any press so moderate, sotr-mperate and
so cautious to avoid all offence. But when children's
school-gardens are suppressed, as tley lately haw been
here on the same charge, viz., that laursery maids and female
teachers taught children from the age of four to the
age of eight, atheistic, communistic, and socialistic princi-
ples, it will be seen that the accusation is as ridiculous as
it is rabid. By the bye, in one of these very school-gar-
dens in the Rhine country, the Duchess of Orleans sent for
a short time the young Count de Paris, several years ago,
to receive there the inlantine instruction that is alone im-
parted.
To return to Frankfort, the confederate army that is to
be quartered in the neighbourhood of that town is to con-
, sist, several papers say, of 4,000 Prussians, 4,000 Aus-
trians, 1,500 Bavarians, a battalion of Hessians, a battalion
of Baden troops, a battalion from Nassau, and a corps of
cavalry 1,500 strong, with 30 field pieces.
The maintenance of the German fleet is likely to be
finally determined on. Ilanover, Oldenburg. Bremen,
Hamburg, and Mecklenburg are very zealous fur keeping it
up. It is said to have been proposed that this fleet should
exclusively belong to the middle and small states of Ger-
i many, leaving out Austria and Prussia, and that the sea-
, coast states should defray by far the greater part of the
expense.
it is confidently reported that a trade and industry con-
gress will meet at Frankfort on the Ist of October. The
Diet will send deputies thereto. The materials collected at
the Dresden conferences will be submitted to this Assembly.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 5.

The position of Iteschid Pasha has not been
weakened by the new ministerial changes; and the
Sultan continues to grant him the same confidence.
The usual annual cruise of the fleet in the Mediter-
ranean will not take place this year, from economical
motives. Nothing was definitively arranged with
regard to the Egyptian railway. The Sultan has
addressed a letter to Abbas Yoshi, commanding him
to suspend the works and wait for the authorisation
of the Porte, who insisted on havingthecontract for the
construction of the railway annulled. Although the
new envoys of the viceroy, Kiani and Ilassan-Pacha,
&vitro that all the observations that can be made
by the Porte arc now of no avail, the viceroy having
pledged himself, and the works of the railway
having even been commenced, the divan appears not
tho less determined to obtain satisfaction on the
point. To that end there was some intention lately
to send an ultimatum to the viceroy, declaring that
any further refusal on his part might lead to his de-
thronement. This document was communicated to
the ambassadors of England and France, and Sir S.
Canning, it is said, thought it somewhat hasty to
have recourse to threats; he recommended a modi-
fication in that respect, and promised to induce Abbas
Mucha to make concession. It isnot known whether

any change was effected in the ultimatum, but it was
not sent. It is asserted that the Chesil' of Mecca,
who was to paid through Egypt, in proceeding to
his place of destination, was charged to make with
the viceroy a new attempt at reconciliation, and
that a reply from him is waited for, before any defi-
nitive decision is come to. Meanwhile, the works
on the railway are being proceeded with, and the
difficulties can only increase. The commission ap-
pointed to report on the question of the holy places
pursues its task with activity. The murder of the
l'icdmonteso Capuchin, Father Basil, at Antioch,
was, according to the arrangement made with the
French embassy, to have been brought for trial
before the Supreme Council of Justice. But this'
course has not been followed. The trial has taken
" place before the municipal council of Antioch,
and the leading prisoner, Earner Effendi, has been
acquitted. 'lwo other obscure individuals, who
denounced Eumer Effendi as the author of the crime,
have been condemned to death. The Christians at
Antioch have been thrown into consternation by this
result. the French embassy insists upon the affair
being referred to Constantinople. The Hungarian
refugees were expected at Constantinople, where the
American steam-frigate Mississippi is waiting to
convey them to London. The Countess of Bathyany
arrived at Constantinople on the 4th, to join her hus-
band, who is among the prisoners liberated from
Kutaiha. The Austrian government is greatly irri-
tated at their release; it has strengthened its cordons
of troops on the Servian frontier, and is trying to raise
embarrassments to the Porto in this province.
