ferent to the treatment of its Consul, but is entitled to re-

quire satisfactory explanation ; but this by no means justi-
fies the rhodmontades of the Journal des Debats, the
Courrier, and other French journals, or the outcries of a

here to-day of the death of his Serene Highness the reigning
Duke of Saxe Altenburg on the 29th Sept., athis hunting seat
at Hummelshayn, near ',labia, at the age of nearly 72
years, after a reign of above fifty years. He is deeply re-
gretted, not only by the Ducal family, but by the whole
country, which revered him as a just, mild, and most bene-
volent prince. His mortal remains will be conveyed to the
family vault in the palace-church at Altenburg. The pre-
sent reigning Duke Joseph Frederick Ernest George
Charles, was born 27th August, 1789.
VIENNA, SEPT. 25.—A1l the political reporti that lately
alarmed our merchants and the Exchange have vanished,
and it is even said that a very considerable reduction is
going to be made in the effectual force of our army. To
this cause we may ascribe the rise that has lately taken
place in our funds, which, unless some untoward event
happens in the interim, may very likely attain, by the end
of the year, the same prices as before the revolution in
July 1830.
The unexpected fall in the price of wool has caused
considerable loss to some great landowners ; however a great
portion of the produce of last year's shearing had already
passed into other hands, so that the loss will probably be
most felt by speculators.

Two Commissions, one appointed by the Prussian Go-
vernment, the other by the Belgian Government, are very
shortly so meet at Verviers, to discuss some questions rela-
tive to the iron railroad. One thing to be determined will
be the point of the Belgian frontiers it will be most advan-

of Prussia. This is necessary to be fixed before our
neighbours commence their- vp cratioon_ The tolls and other
