GERMANY.

A 18tter from Frankfort of the 23d, in the
Suabiatt Mercury, says :—" It is announced. that
the Austrian Government has sent to the Germanic
Diet a claim of 106,838,800 florins, for the expense
of the repression of the revolts at Prague and
Vienna, and the wars in Hungary and Italy, by
which the frontiers of Germany were protected.
Prussia, it is added, has sent in a claim of 19 mil-
lions and a half of thalers for the repression of the
revolt in the Grand Duchy of Posen."
The Germanic Diet, in one of its recent sittings,
adopted the following resolution, on the proposi-
tion of Austria :—" The proposition made by the
Government of Grand Ducal Hesse, in the seventh
sitting of this year, is referred to the political com-
mittee, which is charged to examine what measures
it may be right for the Diet to adopt for its pro-
tection in case, contrary to all expectation, the

means employed by the British Government shal
not prevent the political refugees from making an
abusive use of the right of asylum, to the inkkry of
tho Confederation with which Great Britain main-
tains relations of affiance and friendship."
Several thousand workmen were last week dis-
charged from the manufactories in Vienna, in con-
sequence of the stagnation of business which pre-
vails in that capital.

HOLLAND.
The Chambers are dissolved, the elections aro
being fixed for the 27th of May, and the opening
of the session for the 18th of June.

The programme of the Government announces
that there will be no change in the Constitution.
Freedom of conscience is granted, but with a
strict surveillance ; centralisation will be dimin-
ished, and the action of the provinces and com-
munes more free.
The programme announces changes in the organic
laws ; the executive power will be invested iu the
King, in reality, not in appearance. It concludes
by an appeal to the nation.

TURKEY.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from Con-
stantinople, 11th

"Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, who arrived here on
the sth with his suite, was received by Col. Rose at th'
head of all the personnel of the embassy. The Colonel
and the Ambassador are not, it is said, on very good
terms, and it is added that Prince Menschikoff is not
very well disposed towards the former. Lord Stratforo
landed on the 6th. The English residents at Constan
tinople and 12,000 other persons received him with the
loudest acclamations. The following is the speech which
he delivered on the occasion Gentlemen, I thank
you for the reception which you have given me.
Although some disagreeable events have taker
place during my absence, I think that under exist
ing circumstances the best plan to pursue is to
forget the past and oaly to think of the future.
I consider myself happy in finding in you so much frank
ness and good feeling, and I rely on your ulterior sup
port. The views of Great Britain are directed to tb
stability and independence of the Ottoman Empire.
There is nothing to inspire us with any doubts as to its
future progress, and I think that I shall not have to re-
pent of the great sacrifices I make in leaving my family
and my friends to come among you. I again thank you
for the welcome you have given me.' Lord Stratford
afterwards visited the Grand Vizier, with whom ha
remained in conference for more than four hours.
Colonel Rose left Constantinople on the Bth, in the
Fury steamer, for England. Disturbances have re-
cently broke out in the mines of Dakatskoi. The
workmen assassinated the Turkish director and all
his family. Order was re-established by a detachment
of troops under Hussein Bey. Five of the ringleaders
were executed, and the others, to the number of 90, were
condemned to different degrees of punishment. Dedjer-
ley, the farmer of the Customs at Constantinople, hap
been released from prison on the intervention of Prince.
Menschikoff."
The same journal states from Belgrade, 76, that
the Servian Government has refused to attend to
the injunctions of Russia to discharge the Director
of the Military School at Kraguzewatch, M.
Jach, an Austrian. The Senate has promised to
support the Prince in his resolution.

THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.

The United States' mail-steamer Atlantic, West,
commander, arrived at Liverpool yesterday, bring-
ing advices from New York to the 16th inst., 151
passengers, and $264,000 in specie on freight.
The screw-steamer Alps arrived at Boston on the
14th, and the Royal mail-steamer America on the
15th, both from Liverpool.
The United States' steam-ship Washington, from
Southampton, arrived at New York on the 15th
inst.

The news by this steamer is almost entirely de-
void of interest.

Tho Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing on the 13th instant, says :
" The Cabinet were engaged for several hours yester-
day and to-day in the consideration of the Nicaragua
question and the recent occurrences at San Juan, but
have not yet come to any definite determination. It
is said some difference of opinion exists which may
lead to difficulty. It is certain, however, that the
President will insist upon such a course as to
effectually put a stop to the humbugging, thimble-
rigging policy, which has characterised the conduct
of England in relation to the affairs of Central America.
The President does not consider that the interference
of England in the affairs of the Central American States
is either proper or necessary ; and he believes that the
true position for the United States to assume is that of
perfect independence in our intercourse with other
countries, permitting no third power to become a party
to our arrangements, whatever they may be. Mr.
Buchanan, who is still here, has been consulted in
the matter."

Quebec advices of the 13th instant state that the
House of Assembly had adopted the Inspector-
General's changes in the tariff, as already reported,
with the following additions :
" Salt to be entirely free ; printing presses and
materials, except paper, 2i per cent. The produce of
the sea from Newfoundland and Labrador to come in at
the same rate as from Nova Scotia--virtually free.'

The yellow fever had made its appearance among
the shipping at Jamaica, and had in many cases
proved fatal. The captain of the ship William
Jardine, bound to India with Coolies, had died of
the disease.

General Santa Anna arrived on the Ist inst. at
Vera Cruz, where he was very coldly received.
He started immediately for his farm at Encerra,
near Jalapa. Carravajal was again on the move.
He, with 60 followers, lately recrossed the Rio
Grande into Mexico, and took possession of the
town of Reynosa. His men immediately seized
two alcades, and tortured them by hanging until
they had extorted $4,000 as a ransom for their
lives.

Late Mexican accounts state that the informa-
tion given by Mr. Falconnet to the English bond-
holders, that he had been compelled to pay $60,000
to buy some members of the Mexican Congress,
created great excitement in the capital. The press
has excited its indignation, and the members of
the late Congress affirm that they are innocent.
Messrs. Mariano Zavala, Pedro Celestino Perez,
and Ramon Andrade, accompanied by General
Mariano Martinez, called upon Mr. Falconnet to
ask him for an explanation, Mr. Falconnet an-
swered that he would give an explanation in the
papers. Yanez, Cuevas, Dover, and others, in-
tended to institute a criminal prosecution against
Mr. Falconnet. Mr. Esparza, who was Minister
of Finance when the $2,500,000 were taken out,
addressed a note to the Ministry asking that the
matter should be at once inquired into. Two
members who had voted for the free exportation
of the $2,500,000, have declared that they had
voted in accordance with their consciences. It
seems President Lombardini was thinking of giving
Mr. Falconnet his passport, with an invitation to
leave the Republic. It is rumoured that the
Chamber of Deputies being thus exonerated, the
Government of Arista may have received the
$60,000, and inquiries are being made into t
ho
matter. On the other hand, it is stated that Mr.
Falconnet had formally denied the truth of the
statement. Writing to the Traits d'Union of the
10th ult. he says
" I have read with as much surprise as indignation
the account of the proceedings which took place at the
general reunion of the Mexican bondholders held
London last January • and, for the satisfaction of
