The bill for an extraordinary vote of money to
c ;c: military expenditire is now printed. The sum
required is 1.2 mllions of thole!". The Minister of
FILMIC* is empowered to raise the money by a loan
bearicv interest, and to be liquidated within a proper
term. An a:count is to be rendered to the Chambers
in the nest session. The bill is accompanied by a
memoria. which begins by stating that darn; 1830,
l'ruse.a sill probably be compelled to mamtain a
military force eveilliw the peace establishment,
partly to be prepared Iv external eventualities, and
portly to preserve o: to restore tranquillity and order,

mem amounts to about 121,000 men, out of which garri-
eats tor 2.t. fortresses end the chief cities have to be fur-

nrpooes. The troops employed in foreign countries, as

go-Ultimo on the Schleswig-Holstein ques-
tiOu kn: n idiitg a critical phase. It is expected that
the ewit,er-propositioce to the Danish will be pre-
* rated h 3 tat Prussian plenipotentiary to-morrow.
Thv main feature, I understand, in these is, that the
None sort of union. sbou:d exist between Denmark
et'. the Isuchies xi-ts between Sweden and Nor-
u sy. The 114f-fence between this and the Danish
kopo,iti,,a of January 17 is, that the latter proposes
Er.ineial union, the suns army, navy, and
ir`rtign representation ; whereas, Prussia admits
a ur.eit which extends only to common administra-
-I.dr. of foreign affairs, and common sovereign. Mean-
vi.iie it is an absurd misrepresentation to accuse
of refusing to negotiate on the basis of the
rot•4!oticro of July In, which expressly stipulated the
d. renitence of Schleswig u far as compatible with
under the same sovereign. If the most import-
ant afliirs, such as the budget, were discussed
' Iprohagen it is clear that independence
Is to what is called the internal adniinistra-
tion is of the least possible im The
grind condition of independence, with every consmu-
MitY tot well se individual, is the raising and spend-
iof its own money. The Schleswig-Holstein dem-
Los. art seeking an interview with the king. The
cN'ef of their visit to Berlin is the removal of the
crninistrstive commission and the ro-installation of

MOLDAVIA.—JASSY, JAN. 25.—A1l doubts as to
the pod& solution of the refugees question must now
cease, as the matter has been already settled. The
refugees who have embraced Wan are to go to
Aleppo, or, according to others, to Diarbekir ; the
others to %ankh. Fuad Effendi has been appointed
paths and presented with 2,0001., Reschid Puha has
received 20,00 W., and Ali Pacha 10,0001. M. Titoff
has formally renewed diplomatic intercourse with the
Porte, bat the dispute with Austria still remain■ un-
settled. It is confidently affirmed that the great coo-
'piracy discovered in %vela has contributed potently
to the setting of this question at rest. Prince Ohiks
has received the order of St. Anne of the first chums,
with an extremely flattering letter from the Russian
cabinet.

DENNIARIL—The Borsenhalle has a letter from
Copenhagen of the 13th inst., stating that in answer
to a question put in the lower assembly on that day,
the minister for foreign affairs had declared that,
"though a prolongation of the armistice had been
talked of in diplomatic circles, no negotiations on the
subject were being carried on nor had any taken
place."
BELGIUM.—The Independence says, it is assure
that • treaty of commerce and navigation has just
been concluded bttween Belgium and Russia, and
that the treaty was signed at Berlin at the latter end
of last week.

ALGlnas.—A letter from Oran of the 101 instant
says: --•• An important expedition has just R ken place to
the south ot the sub division of Litman, under tie com-
mand of General WMahon, and has been attended with
complete enema Stine fractions of the tribe of Aoedisa, in
a state of revolt, had crossed the frontier. General Mldahon,
at the head of his column, overtook and inflicted a severe
chastisement on them, bringing back the greater part of the
tribe, and taking from them 14,000 sheep. The troops have
just returned to Hemeen with their booty. The most
parfeet:tralottillity seisms in every part of the province."
SENZGAL—The Governor ot Senegal, in a despatch
to the French Minister of Marine, dated the 16th October,
gives as account at an expedition sgainst a chief, named
Bourake, and oaten, for having stopped and pillared some
French baats, and raised the pretension ot compelling every
one who might pass through thar villages to pay a tax. The
expedition resulted in the destruction of two villages of Lan.
nel, and in the restitution of the pillaged things. This exploit
had tattled a peat impression on the neighbouring
_popula-
tions, sad a abler, the Alm tray of the Fouts, who had shown
some hostility to the French, hastened to make afters of
pest-. Although the expedition took place in the bad wagon
in a temperature of from 35 deg. to 40 deg., and in an un-
wholesome climate, the French not only lost no men, but
had not even sine sick—an unexampled circumstance.
