GERMAN PAPERS.

BELGRA-DE, JAN. 26.—The principality of Servia is now
in an important crisis, the issue of which must be decisive
with respect to the future situation and rights of the peo-
ple, as well as the Prince It is well known that a part of
the primates have long expressed their opinions against the
irbitrary power of the Government, though hitherto exer-
eised in an unexceptionable manner, as well as against the
eitire want of all control over the finances: and it is likewise
well known that Prince Milosch, in order to remedy the
inconvenience, has for some years past employed proper
persons to draw up a code of laws for Servia ; and, in gene-
ral, that he is seriously desirous of remedying all the abuses
which are prejudicial to the interests of the Servian people.
On the one hand, good will and sincere endeavour to im-
prove the condition of Servia, to encourage the education
of the people, to promote trade and industry, and to con-
firm by laws the rights of individuals, as well as of the Go-
vernment, and of the people in general, were impeded by
the struggle with prejudices, and the necessity of due con-
sideration and examination : on the other hand, a restless
impulse to realize- the establishment of constitutional and
legal institutions, was excited by the Clamours of some
demagogues for a fresh Constitution, when Prince
Miiosch issued orders a few months ago to convoke
the deputies of Servia to meet at Kragujewatz for the
purpose of laying before them for their consideration some
projects of law intimately connected with the interests of
the people. Conformable to a circular issued to the Go-
vernment, several primates assembled in the middle of Ja-
nuary (new style) at Kragujewatz, but the manner in which
they expressed themselves manifested such a hostile dispo-
sition towards the Government, that the Prince could
easily imagine that the proposal which the Government
intended to make would give little satisfaction ; and as the
more important laws which were to fulfil the promises be-
fore made by the Prince were not in a sufficient state of
forwardness to he laid before the Deputies, the Prince
was induced to order that the Diet which had been sum-
moned should not be held ; that the Deputies who had
already arrived at Kragujewatz, should go home, and that
flint the others should immediately be informed of this re-
solution.

This resolution agreed but ill with the views of the primates
(or deputies) already assembled, and it was like throwing oil
into the fire. Far from obeying the commands of the
Prince, they resolved to enforce the fulfilment of their de-
mands, and if Prince Milosch should be inflexible, to de-
pose him, and place the hereditary Prince Milan on the
throne. According to this resolution, they sent a deputa-
tion to Pascharewatz to the Prince, who had mean time
given orders to his brother Joan to march with all speed
to Kragujewatz with the troops which he had under his
command for the protection of Bosnia. But the Pri-
mates were not. intimidated by this measure ; they sent a
deputation to meet the troops, to declare that they did not,
wish to make war against their brethren, that they asked
nothing hut. the satisfaction of the just and equitable wishes
of the people and the fulfilment of the promises of the Prince-
himself, and they thought to obtain this object in a peaceable
manner. By this means they seem to have induced the Prince's,
brother to suspend his march to Krajugewatz. Active ne-
gotiations were commenced between the Primates at Kra-
gujewatz and the Prince of Paschajrewatz, and they ap-
pear, in fact, to have come to a provisional agreement. How
far the demands on one side, and the concessions on -the
other, went, lam not able to state precisely. So much,
however, is affirmed, that Prince Milosch has agreed to
important concessions, that he left Pascharewatz on the
'2 4th , and on the 26th, made his solemn entry into Kragu-
jewatz, in order to hold there the Assembly of Deputies.
The whole road from Pascharewatz to Kragujewatz was
lined by the people on both sides of the Prince, as if they
wished to insure the safety of their father, as the Prince is
everywhere called. In general, we are assured that the
people have no part in this affair. They know the benevo-
lent views of the Prince, and are aware that his good in-
tentions, especially with respect to the poorer classes, have
been often defeated by the selfish opposition of the Pri-
mates, as was the case with the proposal for a more equita-
ble system of taxation.

To-day being the anniversary of the Patron Saint of
Servia, the inhabitants of Belgrade were exhorted from the
pulpit to conduct themselves in an orderly manner, not to
give way to any illusions, but to be convinced that the pa-
ternal heart of the Prince would never lose sight of the
welfare of his children ; but, at the same time, notice was
given by the police in all the houses, that it was not per-
mitted to speak publicly of the present state of affairs, or
for more than three persons at the most to meet together
in public places. _

Letter; from Constantinople, of the 13th instant, say,.
that the Kiaja Bey of Mehemet Ali, who is said to be on
the road with part of the tribute, according to some with
21, and to others of 12,000,000, is daily expected with
great impatience.
Now that the differences between the Porte and its.
Egyptian vassal are again arranged, the Ambassadors of
France and En'glaud have began a new exchange of notes
on the late treaty between Russia and Turkey.—Allgenteine-
Zeitung, Feb. 11.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT AND THE ELECTION
OF SPEAKER.—An ENLARGED' DISPATCH 1611 be published on
Sunday next, the 22d instant.

TIIE LATE EARL. DARNLEY.--AR instance of
his Lordship's amiable disposition was displayed towards a
domestic a day or two before he died. A footman passing by-
accidentally touched his foot, which occasioned great pain.
The man instantly apologised, regretting what he had done,
when his Lordship mildly replied, " You should be careful."
However, the man afterwards appeared dejected, which did not.
escape observation. On the following morning his Lordship,,
calling the servant to him, said that his reproof on the pre—
ceding day had not been made in anger, and assuring him that
no such feeling existed, he expressed his wish that he should,
join him in taking the sacrament.— West Kent Guardian.

TRUE BLUE !—As Capt. C., M. P., was hunting
a few days since with the Duke of Beaufort's hounds,
bruised his knee, and to allay the pain, bound it up with a yel-
low silk handkerchief, which had the desired effect, but some
friends reminding bins of the poisonous effects of the colour, he
immediately threw it off, gave it to a by-stander, and had his.
knee bound up again with blue silk, which was doubtless as
more perfect anodyne ! Gloucester Journal.
SWINDLING.—A Worcester Correspondent sstvs',
anew mode of swindling has been carried on lately i n this city
and its. environs, A young lady, by appearance about 17 or.
18 years of age, has contrived by some means or other, to as.'
certain the names and address of most of the officers' widows
resident here, several of whom she visited, and after makings
inquiries, &c., into their finances, whether their pensions were•
sufficient to afford them a comfortable living, &c., she stated
that her papa, deceased several years since, was a colonel lathe
army, that her mamma, at present residing in Britannia-place,
was indisposed, but requested her to call upon them, to pro-.
pose to them, if they would accept of bs. per week, in addition
to their pension, they should receive it for life, by paying
down, at present, only the small sum of two sovereigns, and
that she apprehended was for the purpose of the secretary ot
the society registering their names, the society being corn.
posed of officers' ladies belonging to the army who have
large fortunes, and, from inquiry, they have found out that:
several offioers' were not sufficiently provided for; they,-
therefore entered into a subsciption, which salneription was
put to interest, and tile interest is sufficient to pay ss. per
week to three IlunteA widows. She added that her mamma
desired nts to the different widows
„2... compliments
..sited, and begged them to receive a couple of bottles of wines.
at the same time to name what sort they preferred to her, and as
mamma would be able, she hoped, to take an airing on the mor-
row in her carriage, she would give a call, and at the same time
leave the wine, but as there were so many applicants for the
annuities, she must urge the immediate payment of the two.
sovereigns." In several instances the artful impostor but tot.
well succeeded, and it is needless to say neither mamma, wine',
nor carriage ever appeared.—Worcester Herald.
