MADRID, Aram 12.
It is confidently @seeded that the government is
about to obtain a concordat from the Pope, and that
the Nuncio has already had several communications
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject.
Tne evening ministerial journal contradicts the state-
ment that an order in council had been given to pre-
vent any more admissions of nuns or monks in the
existing convents. The order, which I know was
Riven, for I have seen it, was withdrawn before it
had been sent to the provinces, on acupuit of the re-
monstrances of the Nuncio.

SARDINIA.

The discussion ontieiillflirthe abolition of diffe-
rential duties was continued in the Chamber of Depu-
ties of Turin on the 12th. On the motion of Count
Revel, a clause was inserted, making reciprocity a ne-
cessary condition for the abolition of those duties with
respect to ship.i of foreign nations. C mint Balbo
also moved that beside the right vested in govern-
ment of maintaining differential duties with respect
to a nation, it should have also the power of abolish-
ing differential duties in case a nation should offer
advantages equivalent to reciprocity. The motion
was adopted ender this form by the Chamber. Act. 3
of the bill which concerns the coasting trade, entirely
reserved for the Sardinian flag, was again referred to
the comm•.ssioo, on account of some difficulties arising
from the geographical position of the island of Sar-
dinia. In the sitting of the Senate of the same day,
several bills, which had already passed the Chamber
of Deputies, were presented. The sitting was prin-
cipally taken up with the discussion on postal reform.

SERUM, Aran. 14.
The dt cision of the Erfurt parliament to adopt the
constitution en blue hes taken people hers by
surprise ; all are astonished at the very large ma-
jority by which that decision was carried. It was
anticipated that the communications of Radowita and
the argnments of Manteaffel would have seseeeded in
procuring a revision. The Baherhof party have not
harmitted themselves to be frightened or cajoled., and
ve stuck to their text with a laudable onaounity
and courage. What the next step of the Prussian go-
vernaseni will be it is difficult to say. lam to-day
assayed, however, that its opposition to the en Woe
adoption was merely for the purpose of showing to
the other powers that it would be useless, and that
the majority of the parliament were determined at all
bawds to establish the federal union. Had this
not been the ease Prussia might certainly have
backed out of the affair. Now it is bound by all the
ties of honour and duty to posh it to a conelasinn.

VIENNA, Aran 12.
The Austria publishes the cos'ome receipts for the
year 1849, throughout the whole of the provisoes,
with the exception of the Lombirdo-Venetian king-
dom, Hungary, and Transylvania. The total amount
of import &Vies received wail 10,207,426 florins; in
the le +r 1847 it was 16,864,953 florins, and in 1848
only 8,884,631 /labia I the transit duties amounted
in 1849 to 48,690 florins, in 1847 to 117,037 florins,
