GERMANY.

A Berlin journal states that the Government of
Hanover has made another proposition to the Ger-
manic Diet, with a view to prevent the dissolution of
the German fleet. It appears that Hanover is dis-
posed to raise, in conjunction with some other states,
the funds necessary to prevent the projected dissolu-
tion of the fleet.

The Augsburg Gazette states that Prince George of
Waldeck, who attained his legal majority on the 14th,
has refused to take the oath to the liberal constitution
drawn up in 1849, and left the government of his
Principality in the hands of his mother until the mo-
difications that he desires can be effected. He has in
the meantime returned to the University of Bonn to
resume his studies.

The Breslau; Gazette of the 18th states, under the
head of Vienna, that the commission appointed to re-
form the laws of the Empire is composed of men
justly entitled to public confidence, and that their
names will shortly be submitted to the Emperor for
his sanction.

The Vieniul Gazette announces several promotions
in the higher grades of the army, and the appoint-
ment of several generals as commanders of garrison
towns and fortresses.

The Customs Congress at Vienna adopted, on the
15th, the basis of the treaty proposed by the Austrian
Government for a Customs Union between Austria
and several of the German States.

A letter from:Pestb, 12th, in a Bohemian journal,
says :—" The missionaries of the English Bible
Society, who have been residing here for some time,
have recently received orders to quit the Austrain
States and to follow an itinerary traced out for them
beforehand. They are not allowed to pass through
Vienna. As the majority of these missionaries are
men with families, they bad asked for some delay, in
order to arrange their affairs • but their request has
been refused, and they have been ordered to leave by
the 115th inst. at the latest."
A. letter fram Hamburgh asserts that some of the
Danish Ministers do not approve of the treaty relative
to the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, recently con-
cluded by Count Bille-Brahe, on the part of Denmark
and the principal German powers. A Ministerial
crisis was consequently considered probable.
The Augsburg Gazette, under date of St.
Petersburgb, Ist inst., says—" Letters from Tiflis
announce the arrival there on the sth of December,
of the Persian Ambassador Extraordinary, Sada
Mirza Mohammed Hussein, on his way to
the Russian capital. The wishes of the Imperial
Cabinet have been thus realised, as it could not pardon
the Shah for having first sent an Extraordinary Am-
bassador to Eogland. The éclat with which the new
Ambassador was received at Tiflis proves that much
importance was attached to his mission to St.
Petersburg!), although it cannot be concealed that
English influence appears to predominate at the
Court of the shah. The Ambassador was harangued
on his arrival by the General-in-Chief of the
army of the Caucasus, and by the authorities of
the town, who accompanied him to his residence.
The Civil Governor sent him, according to the custom
of the east, a present of the rarest fruits, and in the
evening the Ambassador supped with the Persian
Consul at Tiflis."
It is stated by the Journal of St. Petersburgh that,
in addition to the advantages in the Caucasus recently
obtained by the Russians, Hadschi-Murad, one of
the principal officers of Schamyl, has made his sub-
mission to them.
