PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin says :—" The instructions
given by Prussia to its pillnißttentiary in the Frau-
fort Diet, M. Bismark Schoenhauien, are in sub•
6tance that Prussia thinks it necessary to submit
t) the Diet a proposition in favour of the duchies,
and is ready to make one ; but, as it would
be desirable that Austria should do the
same thing, M. Bismark is charged to
communicate with the Austrian plenipotentiary on
the subject. If, contrary to what is to be expected,
they shou'cl not come to an understanding, Prussia
will do so in terms which she has communicated to
M. Bismark. In virtue of those instructions M.
Bismark is at this moment discussing the matter
with the Austrian plenipotentiary, an' it is proba-
ble that the latter will end by ailherinz to the de-
mand of Prussia. It remains, however, to be seen
whether the Austrian cabinet will approve of the
adoptedeirby Prussia. The latter is stated to
circular on. the subject to alt the Ger-
manthearvme terms
sent
a cu
courts."

A Vienna letter in the German Journal of Frank-
fort states that the plan proposed by the Minister
of Finance to the Emperor for ameliorating the
tin.ancial situ %tion, is either that a large reduction
of the army shall be inado, or that the d reel taxes
shall be considerably i . ncreased. Trio baiter adds
that the Emperar is opposed to the increase of
tlxos, but has not yet been able to bring himself to
consent to the reduction of the army.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 26th, contairo, as
has been announced by telegraph, the decrees no •
urinating*the new Ministry. The other journals
discuss the merits and demerits of the new Minis-
ters collectively and individually. ahe general
impression is on the whole rather unfavourable to
the Cabinet. These Journals contain uo news.

Prince Orloff's son is about to be married to the
young Princess Trubstzkoi, who has been residing
with her family for some years near Fontainebleau.
The young Prince Orloff was one of the many
Russian officers who displayed great gallantry dur •
ing the Crimean war. The beautiful and amiable
young Princess who is about to marry him may
well be proud of her betrothed, as, in addition to
the eleven wounds which ha received during the
Crimean war, he has also received several marks offf*
distioction from his Sovereign. Prince Orloff is
one of those Russians whom
you niay scratch to
the bone without finding any Tartar below his
epidermis.
