THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBR VARY 3, 1853.

GERMANY.

The Lloyd of the 29th January states that the ar-
rangement of the difference between Austria and the
United States has been confirmed by dispatches
from Washington brought by a special courier. The
best disposition is said. to prevail in the States to-
wards the Austrian Government. _ _

The Correspondez of Vienna complains that the
new customs tariff issued by the Ports in 1852 has
failed to benefit the Austrian traders in Bosnia and
Herzogowina, and the Danubian principalities, who
are continually subject to oppressive dues and rates
arbitrarily levied by the Turkish authorities. This
(says the Ministerial organ) is a direct infringe-
ment of the Passarowitz treaty, which guaranteed
to Austrian merchants the maximum of a three
per cent. import and export duty on their wares,
in common with the most favoured nations. In
1839, in consequenceof the Anglo-Turkish treaty of
trade, a 2 per cent. import and a 9 per cent. ex-
tort duty were adjudged to the Porte. This treaty
Austria acceled to for maritime traffic, and for
that only ; so that the stipulations of the treaty of
Passarowitz, relative to the commerce on the
borders, remain in force, to the conclusion of all
other:—the more so, as in the above-named pro-
vinces monopolies never existed. From the same
source we learn that the silk export trade of Lom-
bardy has within the last ten years considerably
declined. Two million and a half pounds is the
fining off in the exports to England, owing to the
increasing trade with China ; and Chinese silk,
equal in quality to the Italian, is finding its way
into Germany. It is, therefore, essential (says the
writer) that in the commercial negotiations with
Germany stress should be laid upon this point with
a view to promoting the interest of the silk growers
in Austria and Italy.

rated from the church of the country I'withh,e a
great-
est portion of the Protestant commune, and who
s
had been exposed on that account to varioueswaat
tacks, has been found dead in the forest. H
shot in the back with two balls, which came out
through the breast. The assassin has not been dis-
covered."

A letter from Berlin states, we have arrived at
the Ist of February, and, with the exception of
two days, the thermometer has not fallen below
freezing point. We are meantime deluged with
rain. Ice is so scarce that even opticians are com-
pelled to pay large prices for the necessary regula-
tion of their thermometer manufactories.
