The German Journal of Frankfort, of the 30th u.

says—
" A new law is daily expected at Limberg respecting
the forced labour of the peasantry, and containing many
concessions in their favour. It is said that Tarnow will
be the seat of government of Western Galicia, that
Cracow will be fortified, and that all the commercial
privileges and franchises now enjoyed by Podgorze will
be extended to it."

The Aix-la-Chapelle Gazette, of the 30th ult.,
states that so great is the distress of the labouring
classes at Berlin, that they are compelled to pawn al-
most everything they possess to procure bread. The
crowd is so great at the doors of the pawnbrokers, that
it has been found necessary to place sentinels there to
procure order.
We learn from Berlin, 26th ult., that the deputa-
tion of merchants and traders, who had arrived there
from Breslaw for the purpose of representing the in-
jury that the commerce of Breslaw would probably
sustain from the incorporation of Cracow, had been
received by the Ministers, CANITZ and BODEL-
SCIIWINO, who obtained for them an audience of the
KING, in which his MAJESTY declared that every-
thing proper would be done in the negotiations with
Austria to protect the commerce of Silesia.
It has already been stated from Berlin, that there
was no truth in the rumour of Austria having, in
return for the annexation of the territory of Cracow
to her empire, given Indemnities of territory else-
where to Prussia and Russia. This contradiction is
bow officially given by the Austrian Observer.

A letter from Bologna of the 25th November,
says :
" During the last week an occurrence took place at
Bassano, in the province of Bologna, half a league from
the Duchy of Modena, which had fatal consequences. A
party of young men at a tavern, while regaling them-
selves, were singing the popular hymn in favour of Pius
IX., when some carabineers of the police interposed,
and an altercation ensued. The soldiers withdrew • but,
in the evening, as the young men were retiring, the sol-
diers fired upon them and killed M. Minelli, son of the
cure, and another person. The exasperation of the
people became so great that they went to the barracks
where the carabineers retired, and commenced a riot,
which was only appeased by the intervention of the
magistrates of the town, and the delivering up
of the offending carabineers, who were 'con-
ducted to Bologna, and there committed to
prison to take their trial. On the 16th and 17th
there were disturbances at the University of Bologna,
and in the evening of the 25th at its theatre, during the
performance of Christian VIII. King of Denmark, in
consequence of its allusions to the oppressions imposed
upon Denmark by foreign states. The officer of police
ordered the curtain to be dropped, and stopped the re-
presentation. The public thereupon became enraged,
and tore the curtain down, destroying everything within
their reach. The armed force did not venture to show
itself ; but the officers of the civic guard interposed, and
put an end to the riot."
The POPE is still engaged in the promotion of libe-
ral measures. He has recently commuted the punish-
ments of several political offenders, and is about to
issue a decree diminishing the duty on salt. Since
his HOLINESS has established civic patrols, nocturnal
attacks have entirely ceased.

Madrid papers of the 27th have arrived.

The Heraldo notices two rumours current in
Madrid—one, that the Government, dreading to meet
the new Cortes, intends to dissolve it immediately
after its organization ; the other, that the Ministry
will be dissolved, and be replaced by a Ministry of
which the Marquis of MIRAFLORES will be the chief.
The Heraldo says it does not think either of these
rumours entitled to the slightest degree of credit.
The Heraldo announces the arrival in Madrid of
the Count DE TUOMAR (COSTA CABRAL), the new
Envoy Extraordinary to the Queen of PORTUGAL.
The Espanol mentions a report that CABRERA had
not only entered Spain, but had actually arrived in
the province of Madrid. This is very improbable.
The Fomento of Barcelona states that on the 22d
ult. an engagement took place near Susqueda between
a detachment of police of twenty men and a band of
fifty Carlists. The affair, however, was not of any
importance, for no person was killed, and only one
was wounded.

There is no intelligence from Portugal in any of
these Papers.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
On the subject of the rumoured change in the
Ministry, the Revue Nouvelle, which is supposed to
have access to official sources of information, says—
" We caa affirm that there is no question of replacing,
or even modifying
the present Cabinet before the next
meeting. of Parliament. M. Guizot has just accom-
plished the interval of the sessions a great diplomatic
work. He alone can explain, and, if necessary, defend
it in presence of the Chambers. Another error of the
public is the belief that, since the Spanish affair, no re-
lations are possible between the two statesmen who
direct the foreign affairs of France and England. The
sad event which has occurred in Poland has just proved
the contrary. Lord Palmerston has not indeed adopted
the suggestion made by our Government for a collective
demonstration, but he has taken care to explain to it the
motives of his refusal in the most proper and cleverly
guarded terms. If he has been desirous of preparing
the elements of a new policy from which we may have
to suffer at a later period, he has not, at least in his re-
ply to the French Minister, suffered to creep out the
