GERMANY.

The Minister of War of Prussia, by decree of the
17th, orders that the battalions and squadrons of the
landwehr shall be reduced to one company.
A recent decree of the Saxon Government opens a
loan of 15,000,000 florins in treasury bills, bearing
interest at 4i per cent.
We find the following in the German Journal of
Frankfort, under date of Munich, 17th :—" We learn
that the Prussian Government has no intention of op-
posing the project of the Austrian Government to in-
crease the expeditionary corps d armee of Holstein,
and that this corps will be followed, before the end of
February, by an army of 40,000 men, which will
take up a position on the Lower Elbe. The object of
this measure is not at present known."
The German Reform of Berlin has the following
from Vienna, dated the 16th:—We learn from a
source on which we can place reliance that the re-
establishment of the free port of Venice has been de-
cided on since the return of Prince DE SCHWARTZEN
RERG from Dresden. Various rumours are in circu-
lation. It is said by some that the Government will
shortly publish a memorial on the actual state of the
negotiations relative to the German question, whilst
others say that the provincial Diets will be convoked
in a short time. It is not very probable, however,
that they will be, for the Government is anxious,
before anything else, to promulgate the statutes for
Hungary and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom."
Complaints have been mado to the Austrian Mi-
nistry, that immense quantities of English linen goods
are smuggled through the Duchies into Tran-
sylvania, where they are distributed all over the
country.

I —77:-.
F dins English contraband trade, which is said to be
systematically organised, and greatly facilitated by
the removal of the line of customs along Hungary,
is said to be so highly injurious to the linen manu-
facturers in Transylvania, that they are on the brink
of ruin in consequence.
A dreadful accident, attended. with the loss of three
lives, occurred to the Berlin and Cologne Railway
train, on the 20th ; in consequence, the Berlin mail
Vicuna the 20th, and the Vina mail of the 19th, have
been delayed.

BELGIUM.
, The Ministerial crisis in Belgium is at an end. In

Minister of tbe Interior announced that the KING Lid
accepted the resignation of Gmeral BRIALMONT, Mi.
nister of War. The other Ministers consequently

remain. The Minister of the Interior is charged with
the ad interim administration of the war department:

ITALY.

Salamandre, and the Solon ; the latter is appointed
