MADRID, FRIDAY, DEC. 3.
The Gazette of this day contains a project of a
new constitution, published on royal authority
alone.

The principal provisions are :
To make the Senate a body of hereditary legis-
lators,
And to reduce the number of the Chamber of
Deputies to 171,
Each deputy to be appointed by 150 of the most
heavily taxed electors.
There are many other projects of administrative
reform, all of a reactionary character.
Public excitement is very great.
The funds rose. The Three per Cents. were done
as high as 47, and were quoted after the Bolsa had
closed at 46-1- ; Deferred ditto, 25g ; Redeemable
Debt, first class, 111 ' • ditto, second ditto, 5i ;
Coupon Certificates, 4. Exchange on London,
50 80.

GERMANY.
The organisation of the reserve of the Austrian ,(3'
army will be carried into execution at the end of St
this month. The duration of service will be eight
years ; about one-eighth of the total of the army 6;
will enter into the reserve in December of every 6,

year ; by this means the Austrian reserve will be
about 90,000 strong on the Ist January, 1854.
Negotiations are being carried on between Aus-
tria and several German Governments for the pur-

pose of concluding a convention, in virtue of which
the subjects of the contracting powers in either of
the states will, when ill, receive gratuitous medical

advice and attendance.
We learn from Berlin, that the state of Prince
Charles has become so much worse that serious

fears are entertained for his life.
The Prussian Government intends to introduce
into the Press Law of last year an article which
was struck out during the discussion of the bill ; it
gave the Minister of the Interier the power to pro-
hibit the introduction into Prussia of any work
hostile or dangerous to the order and morals of the
State. Foreign newspapers can be prohibited and
stopped at the post-office, but foreign books and
pamphlets can only be seized and their sale sus-
pended after importation, a Court of Law having
to decide whether that suspension is to be con-
tinued, or the work, in certain cases, is to be de-
stroyed. By the proposed amendment to last year's
bill, books will be placed on the same footing as
newspapers, if they are published in a foreign
country. •
The Saxon Government has announced that the
persons imprisoned for their participation in the
insurrection of 1849 will be pardoned, and set free
before Christmas. Dr. Herz, of Dresden, Advo-
cate Steinert, of Zwickrau, and an official named
Kranz, of Gruenhain, will therefore be liberated
from the dungeons of Hubertusburg, to which they
were condemned for life.
The construction of railroads in Hungary is ac-
tively proceeding. In addition to those, which the
Government is building, the Danube team Com-
pany will build one from the great coal mines of
Fuenfldrchen to Mohacs ; and the great Vienna
banker, Baron Sina, will build one from Ofen, vii
Raab, to Vienna, thereby opening the shortest way
for the transport of the immense supplies of corn
from Wieselburg, and making the capital the chief
grain market. But he has a more direct private
interest in the undertaking, because the line would
touch some large estates of his, and also greatly
increase the traffic on the suspension bridge between
Ofen and Pesth, of which he holds almost all the

shares.
A Konigsberg firm, Pollack's heirs, has obtained
a concession for a line of steamers from Stettin to
St. Petersburg. The ministerial gazette warns
merchants to send their shipments for the Levant
vid Hamburg or London, and not by Trieste, be-
cause all packages are opened by the Austrian cus-
tom house officers, and not only damaged by care-
less repacking, but also not unfrequently pillaged.
Travellers through Austria, too frequently have to
complain of missing things, particularly shirts, after
their trunks have been searched by the Austrian
douaniers at provincial station. The number of
ships which have entered the port of Hamburg this
year down to the 30th of November is 4,190, in-
chiding 682 steamers ; the number during the
same period last year was 3,934 including 566
steamers. This year there were 3,744 arrivals
from European, and 446 from transatlantic.
