PRUSSIA.

THE CHANGE OF MINISTRY IN PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, THURSDAY.

The Ministers Von der Heydt (Trade), and
Simons (Justice), have received an offer of seats in
the administration which the Prince of Hohen-
zollern is forming—an .offer which, however, they
have declined to accept.
The Prince's acceptance of a commission from the
Regent to form a Cabinet was made known to his
colleagues by Baron von Manteuffel on the 3d. The
old Ministers remain in office until the Prince's
arrangements are completed.

In the new Prussian Ministry Prince Hohen-
zollern is President of the Council; M. Schleinitz,
Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M. Bethman-Holl-
weg, Minister of Public Instruction ; and General
Bonin, War Minister. The rest of the present Mi-
nistry will, it is said, retire, as soon as the arrange-
ments for supplying their places are completed.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Moniteur publishes a report from the Prince
Minister of Algeria, proposing that all past or
future transactions for the sale and transfer of
landed property between one Mussulman and
another, or between a Mussulman and a dew, shall
be regulated by Art. 3 of the ordinance of the Ist
October, 1844, and Art. 17, of the law of 16th
June, 1851. These articles state that no sale or
transfer of landed property in Algeria consented to
by a native for the benefit of a European can be
attacked on the ground that the sale of such pro-
perty was prohibited by the Mussulman law. Among
the various reasons put forth by the Prince Minister
in his report in favour of the present measure, he
mentions that, in many instances, property had
been sold, and after it had undergone various im-
provements, and been considerably increased in
value, the sellers had come forward and claimed its
restitution on the simple reimbursement of the
original purchase money, urging in support of their
claim that the sale of such property was prohibited
by the Mussulman law. In some of those cases the
purchaser, says the report, had been obliged to
deliver up property which had become twenty times
more valuable since it had been in his possession.
The report is followed by an Imperial decree carry-
ing out the system recommended.
A letter from Manilla states that the Spanish
troops destined to co-operate with the French
in Cochin-China sailed from that port on the 27th
Aug. for the Huo-nang group of islands, about
sixty miles from the coast of Tonkin, which had
been fixed on as the rendezvous. The Spanish
forces consisted, as already stated, chiefly of Tagal
troops, with two battalions of riflemen, a detach-
ment of cavalry, and one of artillery of the royal
army. Twenty-one transports were employed to
convey the troops, and others were to follow with
ammunition, provisions, tents, clothing, &c. On
the evening preceding their departure a solemn mass
was celebrated in the open air in presence' of the
troops, and was attend. N 1 by the Captain-General
and other authorities.

A Belgrade letter says :—" The question of de-
ciding whether functionaries and ecclesiastics
should be permitted to sit in the great popular
assembly of Servia came on lately before the
Senate, and was resolved in the affirmative. The
place of holding the meeting has led to a difference
between the Prince and the agent of the Porte.
The former desires to eit at Kragajewatz, be-
cause the proceedings could not be free at Belgrade,
in consequonce of the presence of a Turkish garri-
son. The matter remains undecided, but it is said
that the Scrvian Government has addressed a note
to the great powers on the subject, complaining
that the rights guaranteed to it have not been duly
regarded."

A letter from Bagdad of the 19th ult. states that
the Arab tribes of the territories between the two
branches of the Euphrates, after having been de-
feated several times by Iskender Pacha, had made
their submission to Omer Pacha. In one of their
combats with Iskender Pacha they lost 300 men, of
whom three were sheiks, and in another 100 horses,
4,000 sheep, and 1,000 oxen were captured from
them. Several superior officers, and amongst them
the Arab colonel, Bou Maza, distinguished them-
selves in the engagements. Omer Pacha was not
expected back to Bagdad until about the middle of
November.

A letter from Berlin, of the 2d, states that it was
not doubted that the Prince of Hohenzollern Sig-
maringen had accepted the task of forming a
Ministry in compliance with the wish of the Prince
Regent, but that it was not certain that he would
himself remain permanently in the Ministry as
President. The Prince is father of the Queen of
Portugal.

The Belgian journals state that the Minister of
the Interior, M. Rogier, and the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, M. de Briere, had left for Wurtemberg
and that the object of their journey was to visit the
agricultural schools of that kingdom.

Tho Madrid journals of the 31st ult. did not
all appear, that day being Sunday, and the con-
tents of those which reach us are confined to
notices of the elections. The Leon Espanol had
been again seized.

We learn by the Milan Gazette that the Arch-
duke Ferdinand Maximilian, who has now re-
turned to the capital of the Lombardo-Venetian
kingdom, received on the 28th ult. Count Castel-
lani, one of the gentlemen who propose accompany-
ing Count Freschi on his journey to Asia with a
view to attempt the regeneration of the silkworm
in Europe by the importation of new species from
the East. H.T.H. had upwards of an hour's con-
versation with Count Castellani, and evinced the
deepest interest in the undertaking.

CHURCH-RATE CONTEST AT HAWARDEN.—At the
general meeting of the parishioners of Hawarden, held im-
mediately after the destruction of their ancient church by an
incendiary, a resolution was unanimously adopted that the
parish would raise £l,OOO by means of two rates towards the
sum required for rebuilding the edifice, the patron and the
rector agreeing to raise by themselves and their friends the
additional amount necessary for completing the work, say
£4,000. The latter part of the engagement has been duly
observed, and the parish has paid one moiety of the rates,
but to the second rate an opposition has just been raised.
The numbers, however, at the termination of the scrutiny
on Tuesday were:--For the rate, 280; against, 165—ma-
jority, 115.—C/inter Cburant.
