Specie has increased 5 millions in Paris, but de-
creased in the departments about 11. The portfolio
is miserably low, having declined 11 millions in the
city, and nearly 4 millions in the country. The cir-
culation of notes has been contracted by upwards of
13f millions in the city, remaining stationary as re-
gards the country accounts. The credit to the
Treasury is more by 24 millions.

GERMANY.

The Prussian Gazelle of the 6th gives an account
of the reception of the King of Prtussil at Koenigs-
berg, on the 2d, and the public manifestation on the
following day. Several hundreds of the inhabitants
went out on horseback to some distance from the town,
and acted as a guard of honour on his MAJESTY'S
entry. The streets were lined with people, who
cheered him enthusiastically, and on his appearance
in the balcony of the palace there were loud cries of
" Long live the KING." On the following day all
the authorities waited upon the KING to thank him
for the honour he had done them by visiting the
town, and received from his MAJESTY an assurance
that the kind reception they had given to him would
remain for ever impressed on his mind.
The Germanic Diet has decided in respect to the
late disturbance in Hamburgh, that the Austrian
Government had a right to act as it did, in occupying
the suburb of St. Pauli, on military grounds, seeing
that it was a proper judge of the case, particularly as
the measure was only temporary. The expenses are
to be defrayed by the Confederation.
Latterly the plenipotentiaries of Holstein and
Luxembourg have received repeated invitations to
sign and approve of the reply given to the Anglo-
French protest; but they have steadily refused—a
refusal indicative of the feeling of Denmark and
Holland upon the subject. In its last sitting
the Restricted Council was occupied solely with this
affair.

ITALY.

The new Minister of Grace and Justice at Turin,
Signor DE PORESTA, has been re-elected a Deputy at
Nice.

The fortifications of Casale, commenced in 1849 by
the Piedmontese Government, are pushed on with
activity. On the 28th ult. some dispute about wages
having arisen between the contractor and a part of
the workmen, the latter attempted to induce their
comrades to strike. Not finding them willing to
comply, they at last proceeded to violence, over-
turned the wheelbarrows, broke the tools, &c. At
last a battalion of sappers was called out, and order
restored after some difficulty.
A letter of the Ist instant from the Romagna, in
the Risorgimento of Turin, states that robbers are as
numerous as ever throughout that part of the coun-
try. The Austrians, according to the same letter,
are fortifying the whole line between Foligno and
Ancona.

LEVANT MAIL.

By the Levant Mail we have received Athens
journals to the 28th ult„ and Constantinople journals
to the 24th ult., both inclusively. The Athens jour.
nals are without political news of importance, but
they contain further and sad accounts of the brigan-
dage in different parts of the territory. It appears
by the Courrier Athenes that near Marathon a band
of twelve brigands had pillaged two houses, and hor-
ribly tortured two females by pouring boiling oil into
their bosoms. After this act the brigands approached
nearer to the capital, and on their way had a conflict
with some gendarmes, five of whom they wounded
seriously. Near the forest of Achaia a party of tra-
vellers, twenty in number, were attacked by another
band, and robbed of their money and effects, and
three valuable horses—one of the travellers was
wounded by a pistol ball. Near Lamie a band of
brigands, under the order of a notorious chief named
CHIMACON, were attacked by a party of mounted
gendarmes. Two of the brigands were killed, the
rest made their escape. The gendarmes had two
horses killed.

The Constantinople journals are destitute of news
of interest.
