GERMANY.

The Voss Gazette states that a small federal corps
is to be concentrated near Frankfort. It is to be
composed of 4,000 Prussians, 1,500 Bavarians, a bat-
talion of Hessians, another from Baden, a third from
Nassau, 1,500 cavalry, and 30 pieces of cannon. This
corps is to be placed at the orders of the Diet.
A Berlin journal publishes the following as the text
of the resolution relative to the liberty of the press,
adopted by the Germanic Diet on the 23d nit.:—
°C The Assembly charges the political committee ap-
pointed on the 10th of July by the conference of
Dresden to propose as promptly as possible general
measures to prevent the abuse of the liberty of the
press, and to invite the Federal Governments, even
before the promulgation of these measures, to have
recourse to all legal measures for the suppression of
journals and other periodicals which advocate atheis-
tical, socialist, and communist doctrines, and aim at
the overthrow of monarchy."
The National Gazette of Berlin states, that the
subscriptions at the National Bank to the new
Austrian loan amounted on the 13th inst. to 7,600,000
florins.

The Chamber of Deputies of Gotha was prorogued
on the 13th, after a session of only six days. In its
last sitting it ratified the convention between 17 of
the German Governments relative to the right of
domicile.

The re-opening of the Germanic Diet having been
formally notified to the Emperor of RUSSIA, his MA-
JESTY has sent to the Diet the following reply:—

"It is with great satisfaction that w—e
ha-ve learned
by your notification that the Federal Diet, insti-
tuted by the treaties of 1815, and the labours of
which were interrupted by the events of 1848, has
again assembled on the invitation of Austria, acting
as presidential court. We offer our sincere felicitations
to the Germanic Confederation on this occasion, and the
more so that the meeting of the Diet, established as it
was on principles consecrated solemnly by European
treaties, is, in our opinion, a pledge of the maintenance
of internal peace for Germany, and in consequence of
peace in general. As far as we are ourselves concerned,
whilst forming constant wishea for the independence,
happiness, and glory of the Confederation, we shall be
anxious about nothing more than to cultivate with it in-
violable relations of peace and harmony, as also we ac-
cept with pleasure the assurances given to that effect by
the Diet in its letter of notification.

year of our reign.

TURKEY AND EGYPT.
The Paris CoNstitutionne 1 has the following :

" Our letters from Constantinople, of September 5,
state that it has been decided, from motives of economy,
not to send out the Turkish fleet this year to make its
usual evolutions. The gunpowder and other stores
have been landed, but no order has been given to put
the vessels out of commission, the design being, to be
prepared for any eventualities on the side of Egypt, as
that question is at present considered exceedingly grave.
Tho Porte insists on having the contract for the con-
struction of the railway annulled, and Abbas-Pacha
may declare as much as he likes that he is
master in his own dominions, he has no
right to deliver over to the English a vast
country, of which he is chief, only under the
suzerainty of the Sultan. Such is at least the sense of
the firmans of 1841, which, in according hereditary rule
to the family of Mehemet-Ali, say not a word about his
independence. Although the new envoys of the Vice-
roy, Mani and Hassan-Pacha, declare that all the ob-
servations that can be made by the Porte aro now of no
avail, the Viceroy having pledged himself, and the works
of the railway having even been commenced, the divan
appears not the less determined to obtain satisfaction
on the point. To that end there was some intention
lately to send an ultimatum to the Viceroy, declaring
that any further refusal on his part might lead to his
dethronement. This document was communicated to
the Ambassadors of England and France, and Sir S.
Canning, it is said, thought it somewhat hasty to have
recourse to threats; he recommended a modification in
that respect, and promised to interfere himself with Ab-
bas Pacha to induce him to make concessions. It is not
known whether any change was effected in the ultima-
tum, but it was not sent. It is asserted that the Cherif
of Mecca, who was to pass through Egypt, in proceeding
to his place of destination, was charged to make with
the Viceroy a new attempt at reconciliation, and that a
reply from him is waited for, before any definite deci-
sion is come to. Meanwhile, the works on the railway
are being proceeded with, and the difficulties can only
increase."
