GERMANY.

A letter from Berlin, in the Indepe ndance of Brus-
sels, says :—" The protest which France and Eng-
land are said to hare made against the total incorpo-
ration of Austria with all her provinces in the
Germanic Confederation, is the renewal of that
already made by them to the Cabinets of Berlin and
Vienna; and that renewal was considered necessary
in consequence of those powers having recognised the
Diet and sent representatives to it. As to the protest
against the maintenance of the non-German provinces
of Prussia in the Confederation, which they have also
made, the object is to reply to the argument of
Austria that her non- German provinces ought
to be admitted as well as those of Ger-
many. England and France deny the le-
gality of the decree which admits the non-German
provinces of Prussia, and say that such a mea-
sure could not be legally taken without the consent
of all the powers that signed the treaty of Vienna. It
is added that Austria and Prussia deny the right of
France and England to interfere in the affair, which,
they say, is one exclusively German ; and it is even
alleged that they have declared in the most formal
manner that no foreign intervention can be tolerated."
The Praseian Gazette denies moat energetically

that there is any truth i❑ the report which has been
current for some days past, that M. DE MANTEUFFEL
was about to resign the Presidency of the Council in
Prussia, in consequence of the extreme reactionary
party now considering him too moderate. Neverthe-
less, it is stated that the conflict between that parry
and the Moderate Conservatives, represented by M.
DE MANTEUEFEL, is very severe, and some of their
journals state that the probability is that the former
will eventually be successful.
According to the Augsburg Gazette, Austria will
not listen to the idea ut a North Sea German fleet.

It proplies to pay a certain yearly sum towards the
maintenance of one general fl-et, or to form three
squadrons ; the one to be stationed in the Adriatic,
the second in the Baltic, and the third in the Ger-
man Ocean ; number one to be at the expense cif
Austria; number two, of Prussia, Lubeck, and Meck-
lenburg ; and number three, of the remaining Ger-
man states. .

Negotiations !ire going on between the Sardinian
and Austrian Governments for the formation of a
treaty of commerce, Austria having demanded from
Sardinia similar privileges to those enjoyed by Eng-
land, France, and Belgium ; the latter, after having
advanced claims to similar complaisance on the part
of the former, consented to treat.

DENMARK AIND THE DUCHIES.
Accounts from Copenhagen of the 10th say that
the Ministerial crisis had not concluded in Denmark,
but the only remaining difficulty was the competition
between M. DE REEDTZ and M. DE TILLISH, as to
which of them should have the Presidency of the new
Cabinet.

The Hereditary Prince of OLDENBURG left Vienna
on the 10:h. According to the Lloyds, the negotia-
tions for the conclusion of a family compact between
the houses of Oldenburg, G-lucksburg, and Augusten-
burg, relative to the succession of the Danish Tnrune,
were nearly brought to a conclusion during the
Princes' stay in that city.
