GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, JAN. s.—lt is understood that Baron Von Bu-
low will return to his post as Ambassador at London. His
lady, a daughter of Baron William Von Humboldt, is ho.:
noured with the friendship of her Majesty the Queen, and
is said to be not without influence in political affairs.
It has frequently occurred that much delay and embar-
rassment, in the execution of the laws, has been caused by
the practice of delivering up to the military authorities sol-
diers guilty of any offence, while absent from the regiments
on unlimited furloughs,--this inconvenience is now removed
by a Cabinet Order of his Majesty, which decides that,
henceforward, all privates and subalterns absent from their
corps on unlimited furloughs, shall be subject to the civil
tribunals, and, if guilty of any offence, be punished by them.

VIENNA, JAN. B.—The mail from Constantinople, with
letters of the 25th December, has arrived. The measures
adopted by the Porte dearly shewed that it believed in the
continuance of peace, and the late assurances of Mehemet
Ali. The Ottoman army was to be greatly reduced, and
placed on the peace establishment. The sending of troops
to Asia, which had been so long continued without inter-
ruption, had ceased.
The Sultan seemed to be entirely taken up with the in-
ternal affairs. of the empire, and disposed to introduce a
better administration of justice, and an improved system of
taxation. The latter is very necessary, and would be
highly advantageous as well to the tax payer as to the
treasury. The greatest resources of the Ottoman empire
have not been at all turned to account in the financial sys-
tem hitherto pursued, and the country has been in the
greatest misery, notwithstanding all its riches. Endeavours
are now to be made to in:prove agriculture, and the work-
ing of the mines, and in general to promote every means of
deriving advantage from the soil. The principle of the
freedom of trade is to be adopted as the basis, and the
Sultan has given another proof of his desire to encourage it
by granting entire freedom of trade to the island of Samos,
hoping thereby to give an indemnity to the Samiots for
their losses through the.melancholy events of late years.
These concessions do not give any favourable prospects for
the commerce of Greece, for Samos and Rhodes have al-
ways had the most extensive trade of all the islands of the
Archipelago, and now that they are in a degree emanci-
pated, threaten to be dangerous rivals to the Greek flag,
RoME, JAN. .s.—The holidays have been kept thig year
with the usual solemnities, and the head of the Church per-
forrned in person all the sacred functions. A deputation 4
the inhabitants of Rome testified their joy,at this, and their
wishes for the continuance of his health. Business was of
course not thought of during this season, and foreign affairs
seemed to be quite in the back ground. They are again
the subject of more eager attention. The state of affairs
in Spain and Portugal gives all thinking men subject enough
for reflection, on the relations between the Peninsula and
the Church ; the hierarchy being threatened with a very
serious loss. Ido not mean pecuniary loss, for the sums
that come to Rome are by no means so large as usually be-
lieved ; they depend entirely upon dispensations and con-
firmations, which are not every year the same, but the loss
is that the influence which has hitherto emanated from
Rome, and which is necessary to the unity of the church,
becomes weaker and weaker, from which the worst conse-
quences are to be apprehended in course of time. On the
other hand, the accounts which are received from the New
World are more cheering. In the United States of North
America the Catholic religion is making great progress,
and the Roman Propaganda is amply rewarded for its exer-
tions. Several new Episcopal Sees are to to be established
there.

Our internal affairs are gradually getting into better
order, and it is hoped that divers abuses, which still prevail
in many branches of the Administration will be abolished,
to`which end the Government shows the greatest desire to
contribute.

The Roman public has for some time past been much
interested by the plan of an iron rail-road, to be made from
Ancona to Civita Vecchia, and to pass very near to Rome.
Several foreign capitalists have submitted a plan for such
an enterprise to the Government, in which the conditions
are said to be highly advantageous to the country. Con-
siderable sums are offered to the Government by way of
security. It is affirmed, that valleys have been found by
which the greatest ascent would be inconsiderable, and this
would doubtless cause the expense to be much less. The
affair has already been discussed by the Government, but
no resolution has been taken, as many doubts and objec-
tions were stated. It cannot be denied that such a com-
munication, between our two chief sea-ports, would be ‘.s..e.
the greatest importance to trade, as the voyage round the
south part of Italy, and through the narrow but strong
Adriatic, is attended with great loss of time, and many
dangers.

DEATH OF AN OLD SPORTSMAN.----Died on
New-year's-day, at Glynde, William Gorringe, aged 89 years.
He had followed the sports of the field for upwards of sixty
years. He usually hunted on foot, and has many a time and
oft beaten the best horses in the field. This veteran sports-
man was huntsman for a long period to the Glynde harriers ;
he was also an excellent shot, and game,keeper to the late
Lord Viscount Hampden.—Sussex Advertiser.
F4EE-TRADE VICTIMS.--Stich is the state of
depression to which the ha.ekney,carrlage business is reduced
under
the rep-trade system, that warrants of distress have
this month been issued at the Stamp-office for the collection
of the duty upon one hundred numbers, and there are,
notwithstanding, more carriages now than there were at this
period last year, The ruin which has been brought upon so
many individuals appears, indeed, to have no effect in deter-
ring others from embarking in the seine losing concern.
