GERMANY.

In the Exprtas of yesterday we published a tele-
graphic mref age from the Cologne Casette. dated
Viruna December 5, stating that a mihioterial crisis
had occurred at Vienna.

An extract from our correspondent's letter of the
4th inst. alludes to the same subject.
VIENNA, Drc. 4.
_

The ministry is not without internal disie:,sions.
The opposition of the press has latterly become much
louder and more energetic; and cannot be brought
to the muzzled state without much danger. Great
fault seems to have been fourd with Bach by
hii colleaeues, becsuse that mitiiiter promised to
effect wonders on the state of public opinion, and to
bring round a highly favourable tone of feeling
towards •the government, by sitting up the .Reieha-
seitting against the Preen, which was thereby to be
silenc, d and thrust out a circulation. This scheme'
has entirely broken down ; and while the Prease,
opening a more di tided opposition, finds more readers
than ever, the ministerial journal mak, s not a single
new friend. However toil may be, points of dis-
sension are said to prevail between the minister of the
interior and his colleagues, which may possibly ter-
minate in his retiring.

BERLIN, Dec. 7.
The Minister of Finance has to day laid upon the
table of the Second Chamber the budget fir 1850
He accompanied it with the following communica-
tions (referred to in yesterday's Express):
The revenue for the year 1830 is estimated at
91,302,333 dollars, and the expenditure at 91,293,140
dollars ; thus a small surplus of 9,213 dollars is ex-
pected. Amongst the exraditure are extraordinary
expenses for the marine, the m tk•ng of male and
canals to the amount of 4,934,219 dollars. The deficit
to be covered amounts to 20,500,000 dollars. It
ar;ses from the following items:
D•b
Excess of war expenditure in 1849
Sevatge to be deducted

Leaving
Salaries and expenses ci! the Prussian deputies

at Frankfor-
Excess of expenditure for the Prussian C' am-
b r iiove the origh al estimate of 100,000
dolls's
Expected exc'ss of expenditure in 11.50 6,000 000
Toe coastruction of eta e railways in 1800 6,000,000

78,791

Total

In order to cover this deficit the Minister of
Finance, in the name of the government, made the
following propositiot s, which are to be provided for
by part cular bills to be laid before the Chamber.
1. From the contents of the public tressry the rt-
maks of the voluntary lo.n, the railway fuels, eight
millions are to be obtained, having really only twelve
millions and a half to be provided for.
2. In 1827, bale e.n account el the national debt
(Knasen anweisunyen Steals Schuldseheine), of the
nominal value of six millions, were laid by; these
are to be transferred to the finances department, and
put in circulation.
3. At former eeriods the Prussian Bank obtained a
ban of s.x millions, and the " Seehandlunz " a loan
of two millions, in treasury notes, from the state, upon
the security of funds in the national debt. The bat.k,
however, owes only the sum of 1,100,000 dol-
lars, which must be repaid in the year
1850; and the state, thrrefse, has to receive
from the two institutions a sum of 3,100,000 dollars.
A-cording to the law, however, the repeymert of
these loans must be mule in Treasury notes to the
amount of the debt, which are to be immediately de-
stroyed. But the Minister of Finance proposes on
this occaslon not to de sttoy Treasury notes in
question, but to trar efer them to the finance depart-
ment. No danger, he said, need be appr. handed by this
course, as Treasury bills were already in sirculetion,
and even during the past year Prussian paper money
hid Enjoyed the best possible credit. Nor was there
any danger in the proceeding proposed to be adopted
of circulating deposited Stoats-schuldscbeine (na-
tional debt b lls) as the Pru-siin credit was suffici-
ently firm not to require such a guarrntee, and on the
other hand the papers in question did not in reality
sill.rd any guarantee, as they were sure to fall in
value whenever the times became agitated. 4. Ano-
ther source of assistance was to he found in the caution
monies deposited in the treasury, which amounted
to 3,400,000 dollars, and which he proposed to transfer
to the financial department. 5. Finally, Prussia had
in the pres-Lt year to demend from Bavaria, Baden,
and Sixony, the payment of 2,400,000 dollars for
war expenses. And thoazh perhaps the whole pro-
portion due by Baden might not be received at the
proper time, still the sum of half a million dollars
might reasonably be expected to be paid in the course
of 1850, and the remainder might then stand over
until 1851.

The Minister of Finance concluded his exnosition
with a reference to the much hardet final:Mal mea-
sures which other states had bet n compelled to recur
to at the present moment, and recommehdid his own
measures on the ground that if adopted, the railway
loan already granted would be decreased by five mil-
lions, because (as is stated above) the current expenses
for the cot struction of railways during the year
1850 to that amount were already i eluded in the
above-mentioned twenty and a belt million..
The statement of the Minister of Finance created a
great impression in the chamber, and when, in the
course of his speech, the Minister of Finance said,
that, " accordihg to a very general estimate, the ex-
cess of expenditure for military purposes amounts to
10,400,0004 Hats," very perceptible irgns of astonish-
ment were visible and audible among the members.
Was any one of them .ufficiently enlightened to
remark how expensive reaction really is?

TURKEY.

Our correspondent writes
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 21.
It seems to be the general nein', n here amongst
wed-informed people that the Emperor of Russia In-
tends to allow the difference existing between himself
and the Porte to remain unsettled until the spring,
when he will be ahle to commence hostilities. At
present there is not the slightest prospect of friendly
relations being re-established between the Sultan and
the Czar. It is true that the demand for the extradi-
tion of the Hungarian refugees has been given up,
and that the Austrian cabinet has even con-
& mind the precipitate manner in which Count
Sturmer suspended diplomatic relations with the
Porte. But the fresh demand made by the Russian
ambresador for the expulsion of all Polish refugees
resident in Turkey since the revolution of 1830, it, as
little likely to be complied with by the Sultan's
ministers as that made by Prince Radzivil. The
refusal of the Porte fur the expulsion of the Polish
refugees, as well as the delay it must occasion, was of
course foreseen by the Czar. The note of the Turkish
cabinet on ehs subject has been sent to St.
Peteraburgh, aid six weeks or two months will
elapse before M. de Titoff can receive fresh
instructions from his government. In the meantime,
diplomatic relations continue to be suspended be-
tween the allied imperial powers and the Porte. The
same irritation and anxiety prevail as before, and the
Turks continue with the same energy their prepara-
tions for defence. As I mentioned in a former letter,
M. de Titoff objected strongly to the presence of the
Brit'sh fleet in the Dardanelles. He said it was a
violation of the treaty, and that the renewal of friendly
relations between the Porte and Russia was utterly
impossible whilst Sir Wm. Parker remain, d in
the Straits with his squadron. The French and
English ambassadors have, from the commencement
of the present question, advised the Porte to adopt as
conciliate ry a tone as possible toward Russia, and to
avoid all measures calculated to cause unnec_ssary
irritation, The Turkish ministers, therefere, showed a
willingness to make any concessions, consistent with
national dignity, which would facilitate the renewal
of diplomatic reunions between this country and
the allied imperial powers. In this they met with the
eoncarrenee of the representatives of England and
I France. As a preliminary step, Sir Stratford Canning
consented to tire withdrawal of the British fleet
from the Dardanelles. Ti a British ambassador
wrote to that effect to Sir William Parker, and the
admiral a few days since sailed from the Straits a d
anchored outside. Sir S-ratford has visited the tie t
at its present station, and has had a long conference
with the commander-in-chief. After every c.m-
cession mane to the Russian envoy, he raises
new obstacles, which prevent an am'cable ar-
rangement. M. de 'I itoff's object, indeed, seems
at present ta be, to keep up the irritation caused by
Prince Radzivil's mission. He now boasts of
having driven the British fleet from the Dardanelles,
of having fore, d the English ambassador to consent
I to his demande, whilst at the same time he treats the
Turkish government with utter contempt. He refuses
Ito re-establish diplomatic relations, and yet when it
pleases him he has interviews with the grand vizier
and the minister of foreign affairs, and has conferences
with the representatives of powers in friendly relation
with Turkey, and all this with the ceremony and eti-
quette of an accredited ambassador in the full exercise
of his functions. Ho made a very angry complaint
the other day, &calve Kossuth and his fellow re-
fugees had made a sort of triumphal entry into
Shumla. The guard pros e nted arms as the refugees
entered the town, and the military bands played and
flags were flying as on days of high festival. This
enthusiastic mark of sympathy from the garrison of
Snumle, for Kossuth and his companion,-, has given
great displeasure to the Russian ambassador, and,
though he has not renewed diplomatic relatiots, yet
he demands an explanation. e Turkish ministers
do not seem diapered to give any explanation, and
here, therefore, is another and not very trifling c te,e
for deepening the already existing miunderatanding.
'the Porte is justified in refusing the expleuaio
which M. de Titoff demands, as they cannot recognise
his official character in the present state of rel atoms ;
and the haughty tone in whi3il the demand was made
did nut much incline them to adopt a flattering man-
ner toward- tt,e Itueeian envoy. Front the conduct of
M. de Tituff, si ce the arrival of Fuad Effendi's de-
apatches, cantaining an account of his interview with
the Czar, it will be- seen that there is good foundation
for the opinion that the Emperor Nicholas " bides hie
time."
