GERMANY.

A telegraphic despatch from Berlin dated the 20th
instant, brings the statement of a decision on the
part of Austria in a question about which much has
been said of late. _ . .

It has been diversely stated how Austria would
act with regard to certain reservations made by
Prussia in reference to the mode of numbering the
minutes of the Frankfort Diet. On the surface this
question has no political bearing, but at bottom it
assumes importance from the fact that it involves
the recognition or non-recognition by Prussia and
her allies of the proceedings of the Diet previous to
their joining that assembly.
The telegraphic despatch from Berlin says :—" It
is stated that Austria has declared in reference
to the reservations of Prussia with regard to the
minutes of the Diet, that each party will be at liberty
to interpret these reservations as they may think
most convenient."

This decision of Austria, if real, seems to leave
things exactly in state quo. Further intelligence
from Berlin of the 20th announces the departure of
Marshal Paskiewitsch for Warsaw. The negotiations
for replacing M. Rabe, minister of finance, by M.
Duesberg, are stated to have failed. It is said that
the Diet at Frankfort has prolonged for six months
the plenary powers of Austria and Prussia to settle
the Hesse Cassel question.
The question of the provincial states or diets is
likely to become further complicated by a ministerial
decision meddling with the states of circles, or parts
of provinces. Government has, it is said, determined
that in the meetings of these states of circles no votes
will be held valid except they be unanimous. Num-
bers of the revived provincial states and states of
circles continue to declare their incompetency to
deliberate. _ _ .

Letters from Vienna of the 15th instant announce
that the mission of Count Dictrichstein to Paris, for
the purpose of urging at the Elysee the policy of
admitting all the Austrian states into the confedera-
tion, has failed.
We learn from Vienna that the Austrian Minister
of the Interior has called upon all Frenchmen in the
states of the Emperor to make a declaration of their
being there, and to state whether they are residents
or merely travellers. This order has been issued at
the request of the French government, in order that
the new census of the population of Franco may be
eomplete.

We learn from Friburg that the Court of Assizes
of that place has delivered its verdict in the caso of
the three brothers Carrara and their 37 accomplices,
who were tried as the principals in the late insurrec-
tion. The three Canards have been declared guilty
of the crime of high treason without any extenuat-
ing circumstances. Six of the prisoners were found
guilty of the same offence, but with extenuating cir-
cumstances ; twelve were found guilty of aiding and
abetting in the crime ; one was condemned for excit-
ing to revolt, and sixteen have been acquitted.

The Moniteur Algtlrien of the 16th contains the
following :
We stop the press to announce the receipt of favourable
