GERMANY.

A letter from Hamburg, of the 13th, says :
" The customs treaty concluded between Denmark
and Oldenburg, relative to the principality of
Entin, has been officially promulgated. The state-
ment published by some journals that the Austrian
Government had stopped the works of demolition
of the fortress of Rendsburg is incorrect."
The Darmstadt Bank has announced to the
Grand Ducal Government that its first series of
shares of the nominal value of 10 millions of
florins has been issued. The Bank is consequently
constituted according to its statutes, and will im-
mediately commence operations.
A letter from Vienna of May 15, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The King of the Belgians con-
tinues to attend the reviews of troops with the
Duke de Brabant. His Majesty also visits the
various public establishments. The King of Prussia,
as well as Prince Charles and his son, will arrive
here on the 19th inst. Amongst the demands of
Austria to which the Porte has acceded on the ap-
plication of Count de Leiningen is that of restoring
the jewels and the 2,000 ducats which the famous
Bollyak had stolen, and which are to be given back
to the heirs of Count Zichly. The jewels and
money have been already sent to the Austrian em-
bassy at Constantinople."
An important change has just been made in the
general direction of the Austrian consulates, which
up to this time have been under the management
of the Minister of Commerce at Vienna. For the
future the consuls will receive their instructions
from the department of Foreign Affairs, and will
only correspond with the Minister of Commerce on
commercial affairs.

TURKEY.
Prince Menschikoff has given the Porte eight
days to consider its decision on his 'ultimatum. The
representatives of England and France, consulted
on the subject of the Divan, have sent ff couriers
to their respective Governments.
Advices from Smyrna are of the 11th of May.
The town was tranquil. The French squadron

It was asserted in Paris yesterday that an elec-

The German Journal of .Frankfort contains a
letter from Constantinople of the 3d, which
says :—" It is known that the Government dis-
covered a fortnight back a conspiracy against
the Turks, which had for object to massacre the
Greeks and Franks ; the conspirators were for
the most part Mollahs. A great number had
come up from the provinces for the purpose.
Thq centre of the conspiracy was in the theolo-
gical schools connected with the mosque of Sultan
Maliomet. The schools in consequence have been
closed, and the pupils sent home to their families.

Several Mollahs have been arrested and sent back
to the provinces."
By a letter from Cairo we learn that Abbas
Pacha left that city on the 26th ult., to make an
excursion in Lower Egypt, and to attend the fair
of Tantall, which is always of great importance,
and which in April generally attracts about
150,000 persons. Tantah is noted for containing
the beautiful mosque and the tomb of Said le Be-
douin, a famous Mussulman saint.
A letter from Beyrouth states that the celebra-
tion of the Easter ceremonies at Jerusalem gave
rise, as usual, to scandalous conflicts between the
Greeks and the Armenians. On one occasion they
fought with such fury that the armed force had to
be employed to separate them.
