GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, JAW. 17.—1 n order to revive the commerce
of Esst and West Prussia which bail severely suffered by
the rigorous prohibitory spatem of Russia, our Govern-
ment wished to conclude a commercial treaty with Russia,
and with that view sent M. Semmlen, Counsellor of
Finance to Petersburgh.

This gentleman succeeded in arranging the bases of a
convention highly advantaztous to those provinces of Prus-
sia. The negotiatios were nearly concluded and the
p:ussiAn Plenipotentiaries already recalled, when the
Russian Government, as we hear, drew back.
VIENNA, JAN. 18.—It appears from the official lists that
the population of Vienna, exclusive of the military and
strangers, is 319,873. The number of persons holding
offices is 5,000. There are 30,000 servants of both
sexes. The number of mercantile houses is 880, not in-
cluding tie retail dealers in various articles in the suburbs.
—Frankfort Papers, Jan. 25.
BERLIN, Jaw. 20. The Congress of Vienna intends to
introduce a very vigorous surveillance of the press, %bleb
js to be exercised throughout the Confederation by a com-
mission which is to act upon principles plainly and dis-
tinctly laid down. When the sale of any specific books is
interdicted in any one of the States, the Committee is to be
authorised to extend the prohibition to all the others, but
the authors and publishers are to have a right of appeal to
a supreme college of censorship, which is to be established
for all Germany. The attendance at Vienna of the Dutch
Ambassador, Baron Verstolk Van Soelen, has for its
principal object the question of Luxemburg, and the ap-
plication from the King of Holland and several of the
northern Courts to the German Confederation, not under
any circumstances to consent to a division or cession of
that Duchy to Belgium. On the other hand, Holland
would be disposed to favour the commercial system of
Germany. It would consider particularly in another
point of view the question of the Rhine and of the navi-
gation, and would admit more or less the interpetration
put by Germany upon the provisions relating to the
navigation of the sea."

TR;ESTE, JAN. 16.—We have received news from
Greece to the 16th ult. On account of the recent law
upon the press, exacting heavy pecuniary security from
editors of journ ds, none have appeared ; we can, therefore,
only derive our information from private sources. It is
?sritlent that order and prosperity are making rapid ad.
Valloo4. The plan which the architects have drawn up
for the City of Athens has been laid before the Govern.
ment and approved. The quarters and streets of the new
city are already marked out. The Athenians have at la,t
agreed to all the conditions of the Government, so tha.
there is no longer any obstacle to contend with. The re-
aidence' of the Government can, however, hardly be esta-
tli,ited there before the summer. A decree in the Go-
vernment journal orders all vessels, belonging or attached
to Greece, to bear the flag of that country, as an evidence
that they are under the protection of that Government.
The regency hopes that this will be beneficial to the
maritime trade, which has suffered considerably of late.
The government paper of the 4th ult. contains, among
ether nominations, that of General Church, as ambassador
to the Court of Rus,ia, and that of Chevalier Henikstein
as Consul at this place. Admiral Miaulis is named Ma-
rine Prefect. An ordinance of the 21 ult, decrees that the
several dioceses be provisi,nally marked out. The number
of bishoprics is fixed at ten. Each circle forms a diocese,
the capital of which is the seat of the hishopric, where
the monarch also resides. Each bishop is to bear the
name of his circle. —Allgemeine Zeitung, Jan. 26.
