GERMANY.

The German papers inform us that the report of
M. Manteutfers retirement from the ministry of fo-
reign affairs continues to prevail. The Calnyne
Ihrzelle speaks of the critical position in
which that minister stands with a high person-
age. In case of his retreat from the tbreign
office, it is said, however, that he will retain his post
as President of the Council. Count Alvensleben's
services at Dresden in checking the downward career
of concessions, the same journal says, are be-
ginning to be appreciated as well by the
king us by the public. The contents of the
last Prussian note to the Austrian cabinet
are not known ; but a complete reslnralenn plan, it
is reported, has been laid before the two governments
and partially acceded to. The prevalence of this re-
port shows the exasperated state of the public mind
in the liberal political circles. The Austrian Reirks
Z,itany says that a memorandum on German affairs
is in preparation at Vienna, which is to be commu-
nicated to all the German governments, urging them
to adopt the Austrian policy, as their only security
and defence against revolution.

BERLIN, Malin( 24.
The all-important conferences with Count Alvens-
leben have terminated. After having had several
long interviews with the King and Baron Munteuffel,
the count returned to Dresden by an early train this
morning. A ministerial conference took place this
afternoon, at which the results of the deliberations I
between the Prime Minister and the Prussian pleni-;
potentiary were laid before the cabinet., Their exact
nature cannot of course be known ; but it was
whispered about to-day that the result would he the.

of an executive power. The old Plenum and the

distribution of votes or not depends, I understand,
on the negotiations with Vienna. Both powers are,
however, said to have agreed to restore the old Diet.
