GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.

We have news from Berlin of August 10. A
nourier had left for Vienna on the ilth inst. bearin; a
decided declaration to the Austrian cshint:. that
should the latter persist in convoking the die- and in.
vite Prussia to take part, the latter would ref and
further, in case of an attempt to impose the rw.i-
tions of such a body on the states of Germany. woiild
resist it by force. The response of Prince S..nwar-
renburg is expected, and will decide the go-eminent
at Berlin. Nothing further is known of the

Letters from Nlayence of Angus; say " The tiec-
done for our Second Chamber are now proyeding
with great activity, and a day or two d:ec:ose
their tival result. It may, however. be nt
stated that the democratic candidate have, %...n tho
exception of the neighbourhood of Ststtaburg,
everywhere a majority of supporters. and the limber
may thus by anticipation be lesigna!el as porely
democratic."

FRANKFORT, Arcusr s.—Representations hire
now been made by English, Belgian, and French
agents against the Prussian proposals for altering the
customs tariff. A great number of foreign ministers
are met at ('easel, and spare no pains to prove the
ruinous results which the adoption of these proposi-
tions must lisre on the foreign commerce of the
Zoliver-tin. On the part of Belgium the muds-
qusey of the native iron works to supply the
wants of Germany is pointed out, and the im-
portation of cheap Belgian iron maintained to
be a public benefit. The Belgian envoy charac-
terises the determination by Prussia of the treaty of
IS II us ruinous step, whose consequences mast fall
on Germany, since Belgium, situated between France
and Germany would be thereby compelled to unite
her commercial interests more closely to the former
than would be desirable for the interests of the lams
country. The French minister opposes the Prussian
propositions, alleging the great increase of
.commer-
oial intercourse in favour of the Zullveretn states.
France, according to hint, is prepared to stimulate
this traffic still further by liberal reforms. Oa the
other hand, should the Prussian proposals
become law France would make reprisals.
It is forgotten meanwhile that the pro-
ducts introduced into France from the Zolive-
rein states, are principally such as French industry or
consumption cannot dispense with, while an enhance-
ment of the price of French articles of taste would
scarcely be felt by purchasers in Germany. 'lam pro-
ducts of French industry imported into the /olive-
rein states exceed in value the export from thence to
France. The Saxon commissioner at the customs
congress at Cassel has received new instructions: it is
therefore probable that the proceedings of that body
will shortly recomtnence.—Augsbetry Ga:eite.

BELGIUM.—We mad in the independence of
grameis:—.,. We think we may affirm that the minis-
terial modifications called for by theretirement of the
Ministers of War and Public, Works have been de-
tiuitively decided on, and that the Monitesr will
probably publish to-morrow Royal Decrees appoint-
, tog the new ministers. According to information
which wo believe to be correct, the portfolio of the
War Department will be confided to General Boil-
moot ; M. Van Hoorebeeke will be named Minister
at Public Works; M.Teech will replace M. de thusly
as Minister of Justice, the last named gentleman be-
coming Governor of tho National Batik. It is mud
that the administration of public safety will be re-
moved from the Department of Justice to that of the
Interior."
