GERMANY.

Russia is understood to be favourable to the re-
construction of the Verein, and adverse to the for-
mation of a third " commercial " group of States.
In the Augsburg Gazette we find the following :
" In the early part of this month, M. de Meyendorff,
Rukdan Ambassador at tho Court of Vienna, handed
in
to the Austrian Cabinet a note lo; hich the Czar de-
clared himself in favour of the preservation of the Zil-
verein, and consequently against the formation of a
third group of German Customs, which would furnish
fresh facilities to radicalism and foreign influence. The
Emperor of Russia does no', any way pretend to
meddle in the affairs of Germany, or to trace out the
limits which Austria, should make in the interest of her
ootiaracrcial policy, but he desires for the interest of
Germany that the petty states should attach themselves
to one of the great Powers of the Germanic Confedera-
tion. 4 therefore, they wish to detach themselves
from the Zollverein, they should rally to the side of
Austria."

The following address has been issued by the
German manufacturers who are favourable to the
maintenance of the Zollverein

"To the Trading and Commerciallnterests of the
German Customs Union.
" Since the year 1848 the commercial activity of Ger-
many has been oppressed by the nightmare of our po-
litical circumstances, which has paralysed the spirit of
enterprise and fettered intercourse. More recently this
difficulty has teen increased by the uncertainty as to
the future extent of the commercial territory and the
impending modifications of the existing tariff. And now
we are tbyeatened with the worst that can befall the
commercial activity of Germany, and its interests gene-
rally—a breaking up of the Zoilverein itself. This, in
a material point of view the most important and bene-
ficial creation of the century, the Trade and Customs
Union which has existed for 18 years, a work which to
pr-serve, strengthen, and extend, ought to be the first
object of every
.German Government, appears at the
resent in the highest degree endangered: for, in fact,
the Darmstadt resolutions, of the authenticity of which
there can be no doubt, attack the very existence of the
institution. No one can be for a moment uncertain on
this point, that the North German Governments, united
by the treaty of the 7th of September, cannot comply
with such demands, which would reduce them, more or
less, to passive instruments. All that is most calami-
tous
hre
national and
ofd un -
commercial
appears by them to enter into the
p uand the phantom of a division of
o
territory into two hostile camps,
sr
possibility,em a n
not long ago laughed at and despised, seems about to
take shape and substance. Its realization would pro-
nounce the doom of German commercial enterprise. The
trading interests of North and South Germany—of
Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg—are all
alike The consequence of such a division must
bee ff
explained to all of thew, and the steps necessary to
prevent it must be considered. The undersigned, there-
tore, invite all connected with the mercantile and ma-
nufacturing interests of the Zollverein to assemble at a
meeting at Halle, on the 27th of May ; they are con-
vinced, considering the urgency of the present state of
afriirs, that every State of the Zollverein will take an
active part in the proceedings."
This is the first public appeal that has been made
to the parties concerned.
The Emperor of RUSSIA, on leaving Vienne, pro-
ceeded on the 12th to Prague to pay a visit to the
ex-Emperor FERDINAND. His MAJESTY arrived at
twelve o'clock, and found a large crowd near the
railway station waiting to see him ; he proceeded at
once to the château of Hradschin, where the ex-
EMPEROR resides. After breakfasting he left for
Dresden. Prince ALBERT of Saxony left Dresden
to meet him. After attending the anniversary of the
marriage of Prince CHARLES of Prussia, at Potsdam,
the EMPEROR is to proceed to Warsaw to attend the
military manoeuvres. In the month of July the CZAR
is to return to Potsdam for the EMPRESS.
The Earl of WESTMORELAND, the British Ambas-
sador at the Court of Vienna, gave a grand ball there
on the 13th, at which the Emperor of AUSTRIA and
several members of his family were present.
A Vienna letter of the 14th states that during
he had
during the
stay of the Emperor of RUSSIA in that city,several conferences with the Austrian Minister for
Foreign Affairs, at which Count NESSELRODE was
present. It is stated in the same letter that some
angry notes have been exchanged between the Aus-
trian and Prussian Cabinets on the subject of the cus•
toms' conferences, but that a compromise is expected
through the intervention of Count NESSELRODE, in the
rna
name of the Emperor of RUSSIA.
The Austrian Government has, it is said, resolved
on important reductions in the War department.
A letter from Munich informs us that Prince ED.
Va') of Saxe Altenburg died on the sth
The Bavarian Chamber of Deputies has, says a
letter from Munich, resolved to request the Govern-
ment 1 .
to withdraw the two Bills on the press, and the
trial of political offenders, and to wait for the revi-
sion of the code on these points. It was thought that
the Government would comply with the request.

EGYPT-
A remarkable phenomenon took place at Cairo on
the Ist inst. regular contest between the Kham-
sin or wind of the desert and the North wind, the
latter was at length the victor, after a hurricane of
unheard of violence. Trees were torn up by the
roots, and the magnificent garden of Choubra and
others in the environs of the city were seriously in-
jurtd. Never in the memory of man was thunder
heard, or hail seen at this season in Egypt. The hur-
ricane was succeeded by a heavy rain, which lasted all
the night of the Ist, and on the following day the
Is.hamsin was more suffocating than ever.
