PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin, in the Journal de Frank-
fort, giver; the following on the subject of the trial
of Techen :—" The charge against the prisoner is
founded on the following paragraph of the penal
code : ' Whoever deliberately communicates to a
foreign government State secrets, plans, of for-
tresses, documents, or news, knowing that the wel-
fare of the State required their being kept secret
from such government, shall be liable to the
punishment of hard labour for from five to twenty
years.' It appears, therefore, that Techen has
really been in communication with agents of foreign
governments, which fact had been at first doubted.
The trial, which took place with closed doors, lasted
twelve hours, after which the tribunal xemained in
deliberation for an hour before it delivered its
jadgment. Nineteen witnesses were examined,
and among others Vice-President Seiffart, who has
played a very prominent part in the affair, and
against whom a disciplinary inquiry is to talce
place. It is said that Techen made no avowal, so
that the evidence of the witnesses must have been
very conclusive. Nothing has transpired as to the
foreign agents with whom Techen had had relations,
and it is probable that the public will learn nothink-;
on the subject."

The Opinione of Turin says :—" There is a story
current at Milan of Marshal Radetzky's having
lately drunk a toast to the King of Sardinia, pro-
mising to pay him a visit at Turin next spring.
On the other hand, we learn from Parma that it
was Count Stackelberg, the Russian envoy, who
persuaded the Duchess of Parma to raise the state
of siege and to suppress the military tribunals, or
courts martial ; expressing, moreover, an opinion
to the effect that her dependence upon Austria was
neither useful nor in accordance with her dignity."

The Bilancia of Milan having lately stated the
Pontifical forces at 14,500 men, the RiAorgimento
of Turin observes that that number admits of con-
siderable reduction, and that the real force of the
Papal army is not more than 8,000 men, viz.,
7,400 infantry and 600 cavalry, exclusive of two
companies of artillery with 12 pieces of cannon.
The Papal fleet (1) consists of a 12-gun brig, which
is to be sold, and two small steamers that only put
out to sea by day.

Count Ernest von Stackelberg, the Russian
minister to the Court of Turin, arrived at Parma
on the 3d, to present his credentials in the same
capacity to the Duchess Regent.
