The Hesse-Camel tioestioo, according to the ashr-
ams of the journals, is progressing towards a peace-
ful termination. This statement, say letters in
the Cbingm Gazette, is repeated by persons en-
frosted with the conduct of the affair. The Elector
has, it is said, written • letter to the King,
offering to place the arrangement of the differences
between himself and the chamber in his hands.
The nomination of • new ministry likewise points to
a change of disposition at Wilbslinsbad. The new
ministry, of coarse, will favour the Prussian alliance,
and have the good wishes of every politician in Berlin.
The newspapers speak of a joint intervention by
Prussia and Austria in Hesse, and also of an agree-
ment between the two great powers. Thies state-
ments are of very doubtful truth.

Herr roe der Heydt, the Minister of Oseaseros, is
one at the loaded advocates of the old absurd guild
laws, which are enacted with greater severity in
Prussia than in any other part of dam esseisst.
ggeammests have bees found useless, pennesion has bees
&non away by more enlightened minds, to convince
the Minister of Commerce of their absurd and Wu-
rises nature. The laws, however, are beoobing too
' aboard to be tolerated meek longer in a serious state
I blur Prussia. The confectioners of Breslau lately
complained that the combos bakers bake sweet cake%

and that they trespass upon the privileges of the
putrycook and confectioner in so doing. The grave
and lean ed magistrates of the city, appealed to
decide the question, naturally required the bakers to
produce samples of their ware. The court Was re.
Baled with a variety of pies and patties, all of which
were nibbled at by the bench, who then seriously de.
tided that the cakes were cakes and not bread, and
' that the bakers of Breslau were in future to con.
fine thenuelyas to the production of cakes made
with yeas'. Sugar is prohibited in the Brea''s
bakehouses, and the little children must henceforth
wander to the privileged bat dearer shops for their
sakes and tarts. The scene in court with the reverend
tee
udges tasting the biker's confectionary is a fit sub-
et for the pencil of a Doyle or a Leech. Can anyttAng
more ridiculous or foolish? It puts one in mind
of Bing Frederick William 11., who, in 1717, pro-
hibited the wearing of wooden shoes and ~lippera,
because it injured the trade of the shoemakers, aid or.
dered all each offensive articles to be seized acd
burned. The magistrates of that day were ordered to
visit the villages under their jurisdiction, once ee.ary
quarter, to search fur wooden shoes and slippers,
under pain of incurring a penalty of 200 ducats.
Under the present circumstances a cavalry racer
particularly of the Cuirassiers would have made I
better judge of cakes. These gallant heroes having
nothing to occupy themselves with while in garrison
here, spend their mornings in recrui•ing their
strength for the fat'gries of the evening at the c es-
fectioners. Every cuirassier officer enjr.ys the repu-
tation of being a ' pastry dr stroyer," and all have an
extensive knowledge in that department. The con-
fectioners at Breslau have triumphed over the bakers,
just as the tailors of the same city triumphed the
other day over the ready made cloth sethrs. The
latter were put down, and the bakers are ordered to
confine themselves to baking bread.
