MONTENEGRO.

A letter from Vienna of the 27th ult. says :
" A great many Montenegrin fugitives are arriving
on the Austtha territory, especially the relatives
and friends of Marco Durascowitch and Michael
Vuco, who were lately shot at Rieke. All the pro-
perty of these persons having been confiscated, their
families are without resources. It appears that the
greatest t'rror reigns in Montenegro, and that the
Prince regards every one who exercises influence
over the people as his enemy." Another letter
from the same place and of the same date in
the Ilamburgh News says :—" Baron de Steel,
Russian secretary of legation, has arrived here from
St. Petersburg with despatches for Baron de Bud-
berg ; it is said that these despatches are relative
to the recent Russian ordinance on the navigation
of the Black Sea. It appears that the great powers
are not satisfied with the declarations of Prince
Gortschakoff, and that they demand the complete
and immediate execution of the treaty of Paris on
the subject."

"In consequence," says the Neu Prussia?'
Gazette, "of the temporary suspension of the laws
regulating the rate of interest, thA Bank of Prussia
has decided on lending on shares and bonds at 8
per cent., and on merchandise at 7. Bills are
at 7i.

A Vienna letter in the New Prussian Gazette
says :—" There seems to be no doubt at present
that England i 4 favourable to the views of Ger-
many in the affair of ,the duchies. According to
information which we hare received, England will
not confine herself to merely approving of the pro-
ceedings of the German powers, but will support
any proposition tending to solve the difficulty in
favour of Germany."

A Frankfort letter says":---
" The unexpected arrival in this city of M. de Bille-
Brahe, the Danish Minister at the Court of Austria, natu-
rally gives rise to a vast number of conjectures. What
is most probable is, that M. de Bille-Brahe has been
charged to convey to Frankfort the assurance that his
government is animated by a desire to enter on the path
of concessions towards the Duchies. M. de Bille-Brahe
accompanied by Baron de Bulow, the Danish Envoy,
went on the day of his arrival to Count de Reichberg,
President of the Diet, where he remained for tt long time
in conference. M. de Bismark-Schonlaausen, the Prussian
Envoy, was present at the interview. This next step on
the part of the Danish Cabinet has doubtless been caused
by the resolution come to by the Diet in the sitting of
the 18th, in favour of the Duchy of Lauenbourg, the
complaints of which, as set forth in the memorial pre.
sented to that assembly, have been admitted as legal
and well-founded. It is abo thought that M. de Bille-
Brahe is charged, on the part of his government, to
deliver to the President of the Diet the reply to the
umsiderations set forth in the report, which the Bavarian
Envoy was charged to make on the claims of Lauen-
bourg, and that Count de Reichberg will hasten to com-
municate to the Diet the result of the conciliatory over- 1
tures which M. de Bille-Brahe may have made to him
in the name of the Danish Cabinet.

Au important modification has taken place ii. the
Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
in execution of the new constitution. The " gene-
ral administrators," MM. Servais, Eyschen, and de
Scherff, have resigned ; but the latter is to con-
tinue, until a successor is appointed, to act as Ad-
minstrator-General of Railways, with a vote in the
council. The government is now composed of M.
Simons, with the title of Minister of State and of
MM. Wurth-Paquet and Augustin, Directors-Gene-
ral. The Council of State has also just been reconsti-
tuted. M. de la Fontain, ox-Governor of the Grand
Duchy, has been appointed president of it for
the period fixed by the organic decree ; and the
other members are MM. Willmir, Utveling, Jurion,
Servais, Thilges, Eyschen (ex-members of the Go-
vernment), F. Fescatore, M. Wirz (Chief Engineer),
Count d'Ansemburg, and Mersch. The new Go-
vernment
