PRUSSIA.

-- -
A letter from Berlin, of the Bth, in the Debuts,
says The measures which- the Prussian Go-
vernment means to take with respect to Switzer-
land, if the latter refuses to recognise its rights
over Neufchatel, will not be of a military character.
Our Cabinet has attentively studied the exports
andimparts of Switzerland, and it, has ascertained
that an interruption of commerce between Switzer-
land and Germany would be very prejudicial to the
!ormer, whilst the latter would receive but little
injury ;
it accordingly will submit to the Ger-
manic Diet a proposition for excluding Swiss pro-
ductions from the German markets. Notwith-
standing the numerous partial re-elections that are
taking place for the Prussian Chamber of Deputies,
the political character of the Chamber will not
be changed. The Extreme Conservative party is
employing all the means in its power to cause the
election of its candidates. As all the Prussian in-
fantry is to be armed with Minie muskets, great
activity prevails in our arsenals, and orders have
been given to manufactnre 9,000,000 Minie ball-
cartridges."
Another letter from Berlin, in the Ost. Deutsche
Post of Vienna, says :—‘, Amongst the numerous
couriers who have passed through this city within
the last few days on their way from St. Petersburg
to Paris,
is M. Gervais, Councillor of State, who, I
can state on sure information, carries to Paris the
definitive resolution of Russia as to the assembling
of a second congress in that city, to settle the ques-
tions of the East, Naples, Greece, and Neufchatel."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA Oct. 9.—A few days since it was stated
that a note, which was a kind of " pendant' to the
circular of September 2, was forwarded by
Prince Cr ortschakoff to this Government, and the

intelligence is thus confirmed by a well-informed
north German paper :

"Though little is now said of what is doing in the
Neapolitan question, I can assure you that some of the
great Powers have got up a kind of diplomatic agitation
against the project of the Western Powers, and
the end of the matter will probably be, that there will
be no expedition to the Bay of Naples. I also learn
from a perfectly authentic source that Russia has done
more than protest in ber circular of the 2d of S-ptem.
her against the policy of France and England towards
Naples and Greece. A few days since Baron Mohren-
beim was the bearer of an urgent note from Russia to the
Austrian Cabinet, in which it was most distinctly said
that it was absolutely necessary to counteract the praeeed•
ings of the Western Powers against the King of Naples.
It is not difficult to foretell how this will be effected. A
Russian squadron Is not likely to attempt to keep the
vessels of the Western Powers out of the Bay of Naples,
but the proposal of Russia immediately to bring the
Neapolitan question before a diplomatic Congress is
sure to be warmly seconded by Austria. In a few days
it must be known to the public whether the Western
Powers approve the plan."
Baron von Hugel, the Austrian Minister in Tus-
cany, is now here, and his presence in Vienua is
considered a sure indication that some question of
importance is being discussed between the two
Courts.
