agitate both the Conservative ani Liberals parties.
The Madrid papers also state that the news that
Don Juan de Bourbon is about to return to Spain
is entirely unfounded.

BERLIN, JAN. 6.
Shouts of " Wolf!" are so common in Germany,
and so habitually die away
without the smallest
damage having ensued either to flock or to shepherd,
that one gets to lose faith even in the most
threatening signs. Hence it doubtless is that the
majority of the politicians one converses with in
Berlin are utterly incredulous of anything serious
springing out of the question now at issue in
Frankfort. Oa the other hand, the opposite
view is held by a minority, comprising persons
whose opinions have sufficient weight to entitle
them to serious consideration. The difference is
not as to whether M. von Bismark be disposed to
bring about serious external difficulties, and even
a war with Austria, as a means of overriding the
opposition of the Chamber and of the nation to
his domestic policy. Most people are agreed that
he is quite capable of resorting to such extremi
ties. What they differ about is, whether be will
be able to carry out his designs. The support of
the country we know that he has not; will he be
able to drag the King along with him, and
—a still more doubtful question—will his oppo-
nents at Frankfort be so unwise as to afford him the
opportunity he desires ? This last is what many
doubt. By pressing their motion Austria and the
Wurzburgers will evidently play into his hands.
Should they think better of it, they will easily find
means to get out of the affair without humiliation.
The limbo of the Frankfort Diet affords abundant
facilities for unostentatious retrocession. And
it is, moreover,
not considered certain thatthe report of the majority of the Committee
will obtain a majority in the Diet. As yet, such
majority does not seem secured. Here, all the
rumours, and some small facts, have a warlike
colouring. There has been much talk, these last few
days, of a stormy conversation between M. von.

texpressedaed of war as probable, and
Karolyi, in
in a manner
which the former is
almost too indiscreet to be credible even of the
present Prussian premier, although his indiscre-
tion and habit af unscrupulous assertion are ex-
tremely notorious. Little credit is attached to a
statement in a Frankfort paper conce •
min a sup-
posed note, couched in bitter and threatening
terms, of which the Prussian Envoy refused to
leave a copy with Count Reehberg. The journal
w hich tells this tale is no authority. If we may
judge from articles in some of the Vienna
papers, a conflict is there discredited.
Atten-
tion has been drawn to the calling
outof the re-
serves for the Prussian garrisons at Mayence and
Frankfort. Various explanations of this
measure,
for the most part extenuating its supposed import-
ance, have been advanced, and the t u most that can
be said is that the Prussian contingent to the Fede-
ral garrisons in question is brought up to the full
peace establishment, below which it lately
owing to the premature release, for economy's sake,
of a certain number of men per company, and to the
tardy summoning, for the like reason, of the con-
scripts due last autumn. Nevertheless, the mea-
sure has startled people at a moment when there
are
t ere
are rumours of possible approaching hostilities be-
tween the two great German Powers. Believers in
war of course see in it an expectation of a struggle
and a precaution to put the Prussians in •
a position
to hold their own in case of need.
Some of those persons who disbelieve that any
real danger is to be apprehended from the De legi •r-
-ten Versammlung quet,tion, are disposed to attach
much more importance tohome
that reaction in Prussia is
likely to proceed trium-
phantly on its path. They talkof
a possible change,
by decree, in the electoral law, and of increased re-
striction of the press, 1 •
already sufficiently harassed.
Every day one hears of
papers seized or brought to
trial. Sunday the
Cologne Gazette was seized for
making extracts from R •
ussian papers on the situa-
tion in Prussia. It seems that even the Muscovite
press is getting too liberal in its •
views to suit AI.
von Bismark and his
a report has been current that Count Eulenburg
is to give up the Ministry of the Interior to M.
Salchow, the lately appointed Minister of Agricul-
ture. The inference from this change would be
that Count Eulenb
erg is not sufficiently retrograde.
It is matter of
conjecture
whether he could remain
in office, taking another department.
The Gazette publishes a Royal Order, to the effect
that, on the 17th of March,
the day appointed for
the celebration of the
close of the Seven Years' War,
and of the summons of
Frederick William 111. to
his people, in 1813, the first stone of a monument
to that Sovereign shall be
The King further orders that, immediately on the
assembling of the Chambers, bills shall be pre-
sented, authorising an increase of pensions to the
invalids and veterans of the campaigns of 1831
to 1816.
