GERMANY.

The Emancipation of Brussels says :—" It is stated
that the negotiations which have just been opened at
Vienna on the custom's question will in principle be
only confidential. The Austrian cabinet, before
making any proposition, wishes to be sure of the ac-
ceptance of all the plenipotentiaries. A first prepa-
ratory meeting took place on the 22d, at the ministry
of foreign affairs."
The primary elections for the second chamber are
terminated in Prussia. At Berlin they are such as
was anticipated. The democratic party abstained,
and the other electors showed but little eagerness to
vote. We do not yet know the result of the elections
in the provinces, but it is more than probable that
they are like those of the capital.
A journal announces the death of Baron Jean de
Gagern, who played an important part at the Con-
gress of Vienna, and made himself remarkable for his
determination in claiming Alsace for Germany.
Count Appony, who was a long time Austrian
ambassador at Paris, has just died in Hungary.
_ The Voss Gazette says, under date of Vienna :
It
aia,is positively stated that not only Austria, but also
Bavaria,
has made propositions for arrangement to the
Cabinet of Berlin."
