PRESENTATION OF PROTOCOLS TO THE

GERMANIC DIET.

In the sitting of the Germanic Diet, on the 24th,
Austria and Prussia presented five protocols of the
Conference of Vienna, and made a collective de-
claration, from which it results that the good un-
derstanding is maintained between the Four Great
Powers forming part of the Conference of Vienna ;
that the continuation of the war between Russia
and Turkey exposes her own territories, and that
the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire
must be maintained. The treaty concluded be-
tween Austria and Prussia was afterwards pre-
sented to the Diet, and the German States invited
to adhere to the different clauses a it.
PESTII, May 19.—A Greek bishop was arrested
here on the evening of the 18th, as a Russian
emissary, and taken to the New Building, where
political offenders are kept. Important papers, it
is said, were found on his person.
VIENNA, May 22.—0 n the 16th Prince Paskie-
witsch gave orders that the bombardment of Silis-
tria should cease. We do not know whether this
is to be attributed to the menacing attitude of
Austria or to some negotiations for a capitulation
that may be going on between the Russians and
Turks. Baron Meyendorff communicated the news
of the order for a levy of 95,000 men to Prince
Paskiewitsch as well as to the Russian Cabinet.
The intelligence of the extraordinary levy was com-
municated to the representatives of Austria at the
various foreign Courts, with a notice that this Go-
vernment had not relinquished its mediatory policy,
but would always be ready to further any measures
for the re-establishment of peace which might be
consistent with the honour and interests of Austria
and the general balance of power in Europe. The
Archduke Albrecht now has his head-quarters at
Hermannstadt, in Transylvania.
The Ost Deutsche Post has advices of the 20th
from Cracow, according to which preparations are
making for " mobilising" all the troops in Russian
Poland. Au artillery park of 70 guns has already
reached Kielce, where one of the three Russian
corps is to be placed.
The Austrian, Lloyds of Vienna announces that
a complete understanding prevails between Prussia,
Austria, and Bavaria on the one hand, and the
Western Powers on the other.

A letter from Berlin of the 22d states, as an
almost official fact, that the accession of the four
free towns to the Austro-Prussian convention has
been officially notified in that city.
A letter from Berlin, 23d, says :—" The heredi-
tary Prince of Wurtemburg, who has just quitted
St. Petersburg, where he had long resided, will
visit our Court. He will be accompanied by his
wife, the Grand Duchess Olga. The Bavarian Go-
vernment has communicated to the Cabinets of
Vienna and Berlin the note which it has addressed
to the Greek government, representing the dangers
of its policy, and engaging it to pursue a different
line of conduct."

The Weser Gazette states from Berlin that the
English Ambassador in that city has expressed to
the Prussian Government the uneasiness occasioned
to his Cabinet by the recent changes in Prussia
(the forced resignation of General de Bonin, the
Minister of War, and the recall of M. de Bunsen.
from London, are evidently alluded to). Lord
Bloomfield is said by this journal to have declared
that his Government regretted much to be forced
to make observations respecting the internal affairs
of Prussia, and that it was not insensible to the
valuable services of M. de. Manteuffel, but that
the changes in question were so important that it
was impossible to.refrain from noticing them.
The Col•gne Gazette publishes a letter from Ber-
lin contradicting the statements of the departure
of the Prince of Prussia from Berlin having been
caused by dissatisfaction at the conduct of the
Prussian Government. This letter, which appears
to come from a ministerial source, states that the
Prince was a warm partisan of the Austro-Prussian
treaty, and that he has in all things shown great
devotedness to his Sovereign.

27, 1854.

are too many bashi-bazouks about to advise any one
to leave the vicinity of Constantinople unarmed.
Travellers who wish to keep in good health should
recollect that the climate in summer is changing from
one extreme to another, and that the same day, even
the same hour, may be intensely hot and cold. They
should wear cotton shirts and flannel; their outer
dress should be of light make and colour, asforlndia,
but they should have some very warm and portable
outer clothing, to provide against a sudden change
of temperature. On coming here, they should not
adopt the Fez, which exposes novices to a coup de
soleil, but they should wear white hats or caps, of
such a make as to shelter the head and keep it cool.
Those that would smoke cigars should bring them,
for cigars here are as expensive as in London, and not
near so good. It is the same with gloves and other
small luxuries. Goods of this class sold in Pera are
bad and dear. It should be recollected that the cli-
mate of Constantinople, with its thin, pure, and ex-
citing air, is salubrious, but also very dangerous, and
that persons of a foil habit, or those that are in-
temperate, are liable to acute diseases of an alarm-
ing character. Catching cold very frequently leads
to bronchitis and pneumonia ; intemperance pro-
duces dysentery. Wine, water, milk, eggs, and
fruit, if not actually obnoxious, ate at least dan-
gerous. The water should never be drank pure,
but mixed with wine or coffee, and those that
would be in very good health should profit from
the hint the Turks take from the climate, and
drink as much black coffee as possible. But as
Turkish coffee is too strong for English palates, it
should be thinned with water. Cold water mixed
with coffee is a delightful and salubrious beverage
—at least in this country—and those alone can
appreciate it who have vainly sought to quench
that consuming thirst from which all strangers
suffer in summer.
