GERMANY.

The Paris Journal des Deficits publshr...s the follow-
ing. (evidently semi-official) communication from
Vienna :

"I think it my duty to give you some information
relative to the attltuue which the Cabinet of Vienna
proposes to assume on the Danish question. Foreseeing
the delay which may arise in negotiating', the Austrian
Government wishes to bring about a preventive demon-
stration on the part of the representatives of the C,,n-
federation. The obkct in view will be to cause Holstein
to be occupied by German troops, to the exclusion, how-
ever, c f the Prussians. The reason, of this occupation
are as fAlow:—Either the duchies will be again bsatein
and the report of their defeat, being re-echoed through-
out Germany, and worked on by agitations, might be-
come the signal of demonstrations of a revolutionary
char. cter; or the Panes will be conquered when
doubtless Russia would come to their assi,tance,
and thus crews complications of incalculable im-
portance, and probably contributst still more than
the defeat of the (limbic-3 to a general txas-
peration of the people, and give en opportunity
for the agitati(,n of demagogy. In either case
the occupation of Holstein would cut at the root of the
evil. In bringing about the adoption of this policy
Austria would give another very severe blow to Prussia.
It would appear, in fact, that the Cabinet of Berlin
would be disposed to regard v.ith indifference the com•
plete incorpuntion of Schleswig, provided the King of
Denmark, dying without heirs, would secure the succes-
sion of Holstein to the family of Augustenbourg; and
that princely h.nse is sail to have already guarantr. e I
to Prussia, by a secret treaty, the free enjoyment of the
future states now in litigation, or a certain extent of
coast and the greater number of the saa-ports, which are
the constant objects of the wishes ( f the great tower of
Northern Germany. It is vsitively stated that a Rus-
sian note, again recommencing to the Cabinet of Pots-
dam the pule and [Ample re-establishment of the German
Diet, has been recently received at Berlin. M. do Me-
dew, the Russian Minister, decidedly leavi.s in a few
days. M. de Funtan, Couucillor of Legation, will re-
place Han provisionally at first, but ultimately, in all
probability, d.finitivety:,
The Weiner Zeitung of the 3d publishes official
orders for the reduction of the Austrian army.
General HAYNAU arrived at Berlin on the 33.

Tne Prussian Cabinet has returned a spirited reply
to the Austrian Note on the subject of the Baden
troops. Prussia declares that she will not permit
their passage to ba opposed by a forced construction
of the laws tor the regulation of the federal fortresses,;
and that Austria has no right to give instructions to
the Governor of Mayence. Prussia has already taken
measures against the course of proceeding on the part
of Austria. On the other hand, it appears by letters
from Carlaruhe that the Baden troops are still in
the Grand Duchy, and will there remain till further
orders.

It is said that Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and
Hanover have agreed to interfere in the Duchies to
stop the effusion of blood.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The armies still remain in their respective positions.
ARREST OF THE BRITISH CONSUL AT

WILKON FOHR.

The following letter has been n-ceived at Lloyd's :
(TRANSLATION
" Wickon Par, Aug, 2, 1850.

"This morning, my principal, Mr. Notnmenen,
the agent of Lloyd's, was arrested by Lieut. Hansen,
the commander of the Schleswig-Holstein gun. boats
stationed here, and dir-ctly afterwards conveyed on
board the steamer Kiel, also lying here, which
immediately left for Tonning, with him on board,
whence the Consul will probably be conveyed to Kiel
or Rendsburg.
" The Consul rest rved to himself all his legal
rights to the very utmost extent, because he was
compelled to yield, as he was unable to put obstacles
in the way of force.
" By order of the Consul, I have made this com-
munication.—With respect,
"J. AI LomiEN, Authorised Delegate."
