GERMAN PAPERS.

Minims, Aran 20.—Tise Independatit contains the
ollowing passage :—" We announced a week ago that
the King had commissioned M. de Thetis to form a Mi-
nistry ; we are assured that the honourable member has
applied to several of his political friends, and among
others to Messrs. Dubois, Brahont, and de Muelenaere, and
that he yesterday stated to his Majesty that he found it
impossible to form a Cabinet. It is added that the King,
after having received the refusal of M. de Theta, and
the refusal of the .Ministers who have resigned to remain in
office, prorogued the Chamber to the 6th of May. A
decree, signed yesterday evening, is to appear in the Mo.
niteur this morning."--(This ordinance is not in the
Moniteur of Saturday, April 20.)
The following is the ordinance, which confirms this

(‘ Leopold, &c.
We have &treed and decree the Chambers are pro-
trogue'd froa the 21st of April to the 6th of May next.
g• Our Minister of the Interior is charged with the exe-
cution of this decree. " LEOPOLD.
" Given rit Brussels, April 19, 1833."
th cause of M. Thellusson against General Vander-
meere and M. Drummond, came on yesterday. The
ground election is an assault. The business commenced
with the examination of the witnesses, and it will be con-
inued to-morrow.
All the Royal family set out this morning at nine o'clock
firMalines, and will return to Brussels this evening.
The Belgian people and soldiers must be accustomed to
the Royal family of France. After the Queen of the
French and the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, we have
now Msdame Adelaide and two Princesses, her nieces;
they will have the pleasure of being presented to our
troops under arms. The first parade took place at
Louvain ; the second is at Malines. What happiness
for our brave men to present arms to petticoats, and to
display their battalions to vapourish women. Is our army
institith'd for the amusement of the ladies of the House of
kirisfans? In fact Louis Philip and two of his sons have
'not yet come to visit it. These Princes doubtless have a
presentiment that they will see it but too soon, and recol-
lecting that Louis XVIII. did not come among us merely
to eat asparagus, they will probably wait till analagous
events oblige them to take a journey, which they think it
useless to hasten just at this woment.—Afessagerde Gond.
In the sitting of the Senate yesterday (the 19th), se-
veral amendments on the law relative to the naturalization
of foreigners were discussed.—Le Lynx, April 21.
BERLIN, ArRIL 12.—We learn that the consort of the
late Pt ince Radziwill is so ill that her recovery is despaired
of; and his amiable eldest daughter, who is a prey to
melancholy, is also said to be nearly on the point of death.
The grippe (influenza) is now a universal complaint,
and above 40,000 persons have been attacked by it in a
few days. Almost half of the garrison is suffering under
it, and the physicians think it far more contagious than
the cholera.

A more rigorous prohibition has been issued in Russia
against travelling to France; several young Russians had
been obliged to end their winter tour here, as the Ambas-
sador refused to give them passports. This measure, of
course, extends to Poland.—Nurenburg Correspondent,
April 16.
FRANKFORT, APRIL 17.—Accounts have been received
by way of Constantinople, respecting the expedition of
the Persian Prince, Abbas Mirea, to Chorasan, who had
taken Amirabad and Kuschan, by storm. News was ex-
pected of .he fall of Mesched, the holy city, the possession
of which would be highly important to him. The total
dissolution of the Empire of the Afghans and its division
into numerous petty principalities, always at war with
each other, are very favourable to the Persians. If they
prosecute the campaign with some energy, they may
make themselves masters of a good portion, Sechtan
and Alghaniston, and so indemnify themselves for the
loss of the provinces ceded to the Russians. Rundgit
Sing, King of Lahore, on his side makes rapid
progress in the subjection of the eastern pa:l of Cabul, so
that it may be foreseen that all the states between him
and Persia will shortly disappear. The Russians seem
to favour the campaign of Abbas Mites, it being for their
interest that Persia should extend its dominions as far as
possible towards India, because this paves the way for
themselves. These little Courts of central Asia have been
for some time past the object of very active intrigues on
all sides, and agents of England, Russia, and Lahore, in
great numbers, traverse the countries between &khan
and Sind, between the Indus and Herat, to form connec-
tion, and to observe the military affairs of the country.
This part of the world will doubtless become at no distant
period the theatre of important events ; Khiva, Bokhara,
Balk, Candahar, Perchauar, Herat, and Sind, are states
which will not he able much longer to withstand the
presence of their more powerful neighbours, and even
Persia and Lahore will probably, under more or less
positive forms, soon fall into complete dependence on
Russia and England.—Frankfort Papers, April 18.
