GERMAN Y.

The following is the ?article on the sal ject of
English passports from the Prussian Ministerial
journal the Reform, the appearance of which we
mentioned yesterday !--
" According to the passport laws of Prussia, foreigners
are only permitted to enter Prussia either with passports
from their Government authorities, or from there tf
Prussia (in foreign countries). In consideration, how-
ever, of the heavy charges on passports in England,
which can only be delivered by the Foreign-office, ex-
ceptions have hitherto been much in favour of the British
subjects who have been enabled to enter the Prussian
dominions with passports of foreign (that is neither
English nor Prussian) legations and consulates. This
favour has, however, led to such numerous abuses, that
the original regulations must be enforced in regard to
English traveil, rs."
The Augaburgh Gazette has the following on the
subject of the Dresden Conferences :
It is expected that the majority of the representa-
tives of the lesser States will offer a warm opposition to
the proposed modification of the restricted council
(engeren Baths), in which they are altogether to have
only three votes, provided that the first commission
brings its proposition in that form before the plenum
which has been hitherto expected according to the agree-
ment between the two great Powers. It is worthy of
mention that there are well-informed persons who be-
lieve in the possibility of a provisional executive dualism,
which will function until the conferences have finished
the work that is before them. I presume that
such an institution, -if really under considera-
tion, could only enter into activity if dis-
turbances in France necessitated this simplifica-
tion of the directing power. It is a fact that this even-
tuality was seriously considered between Prince Schwar-
zenberg and Baron Manteutrel at their last interview in
Dresden, and the necessary measures discussed. The
re action of such an eventuality, especially in Western
Germany, was represented, and this consideration was
not without influence upon the military measures that
have been adopted iu Holstein."

The Netherlands and Denmark have already pro-
tested against the proposed modifications of the re-
stricted Council, and it is expected that Baden and
the Hansa Towns will at once follow their example.
Accounts from Vienna of the 26th announce that
the EMPRESS.MOTHER was suffering from an attack
of erysipelas. Several arrests have taken place in
Vienna of persons accused of being concerned in
one of those convenient plots which the police can at
any time discover. All the arrested are.persons pos-
sessed of considerable property, who can afford to pay
well to escape imprisonment ; and, recollecting the
financial wants of Austria, and the profitable use to
which the Imperial Government put the rich Hun-
garians, we have our doubts as to the real cause of
these arrests. The Communists are not the only
persons who organize robbery.
The official papers in Vienna announce that the
Scheme for the political and administrative organiza-
tion of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom is imme-
diately forthcoming.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Hamburgh Borsenhall of the 25th says :
" Count Von bponneck had an interview with Prince
Schwartzenburg on his arrival in Vienna, in which, in
the name 01 his Sovereign the King cf Denmark, he
catagurically demanded the dissolution of the Scblf•swig-
Holstein As.senably, the occupation of Rendsburg and
Frieclrichsort by the Danes alone, and the pacification
of Holstein also by the Danes alone. Count Spout-leek
would assuredly nut have used such language bad he not
been certain of the support of the foreig❑ Powers; in-
deed the reception which he met with at Vienna from
the representatives of Russia arid France was generally
noticed. Both these diplomatists gave grand fetes in his
honour.

"It is positively asserted that the two German com-
missioners will undertake the government of the duchy
of Holstein by themselves on the 28th. They will be
joined by Messrs. Heintz and Prehn, as Ministers of the
Interior and Finance. Mr. Malmros is spoken of as
Minister of Justice. The commissioners have not yet
come to a clear understanding with Denmark."
