GERMAN Y

The Deutsche Reform, the official organ of the
Prussian Ministry, has the following :
" For the present we do not think that all differences
have been removed and all difficulties overcome. Nor is
it to be supposed that a few thys will cause the disunion
of sears to merge into the desired satisfactory and last-
ing undorstanditig. But there is reason confidently to
trust that the po-sibility to preserve the peace of Ger-
many for the blesing and welfare of Prussia anti Aus-
tria is now no longfcr a subject of hope, but that it has
come to be a probability."

Some further light is thrown on the subj,ct by
the letter of a correspondent of the Kolner
Zeitung, who states that the Government has
made important cominubications to the " Address
Committee" of the Upper House, viz., that the Free
Conferences should be hell at Dresden, and that
the Federal Diet (at least in its relations to the
German Constitution and to pending questions)
shall be suspended. Prussian and Austrian Commis-
sioners will proceed to Holstein to persuade the
Stadtholders into a cessation of hostilities. if this
peaceable intervention were to prove unsuccessful,
it will be left to Austria to enforce her will
by an armed intervention. In Electoral Hesse,
the two powers will attempt to effect a
reconciliation between the Elector and his Estates.
The Constitutionel Zeitung adds to these news that
the above agreement was condemned in the Cabinet
Council of the lit inst., but that it was accepted on
the 2d, and that Baron Leidenberg had insisted on
resignine. his post. We learn from the sAne
paper that the Cabinet have appointed General Breve
to act as Prussian Cemtni•isioner in Holstein, and that
M. Niebuhr ha; been sent to Cassel to threaten the
Common Council with the occupation of their city by
Bavarian troops, and in this manner to induce them
to send a deputation to the Elector, and to submit to
the payment of taxes.
It is said that these propositions have excited the
greatest disgust in Cassel. Messrs. Niebuhr and
Delbruck hilve, however, received reinforcement in
the shape of two officers, General Brese and Captain
Boddieu, of whom the Cassel journals say :
" We understand that these gentlem,n likewise have
en'rrrd into I.gothitions on the sumo ,übject, but acre
can be no doubt as to their having fallen in inducing tin?.
authorities of Cassel to certain steps, winch som'
people at Berlin may think desirable, but which are
at variance with the just claims of the euuncry—
which cannot be reconciled to the honour
and to the attitude of a p*ople which has never fur a
single moment naglect.d its duties to its Sovereign, and
which has, in no manner whatever, given an occasion
for bis departure from Cassel. If the Elector returns we
will give him a hearty welcome; if he will r&f, nen his
government lie shall have our blessing; but our enmity
against liassenpflug and his associate. will never cease,
and death is pia ferable to infamy."
The same views are expressed in the last number
of the Deutsche Zeitung, which protests that if the
Elector were but to dismiss Haseenpflug, and if by
this means he were to become reconciled to his
people, the occupation of Hesse by Austrian and
Prussian troops must cease, and one pretext fir dis-
cord at least would be removed.

On the part of the Elector it is generally stated that
he is very eager to return to Cassel, but that shame
and the fear of M. Hassenpflug combine to hold him
back. He regrets that he has gone to such extremi-
ties, and in short he is in a fit condition to accept
almost any compromise which secures to him the en-
joyment of his private fortune and a legal authority
in the Electorate. Such, at least, are the statements
of the Frankfort Journal.
It is said that neither Prussia nor Austria will di-
minish their military force until the free conferences
shall have been concluded. The presence of the
Russian Minister at the Olmutz conference has given
great offence to the national pride of the Germans.

ITALY.
The Paris Ordre has the following on the affairs of
Rome :
"Much has lately been said of a note which the
Apostolic Nuncio at Vienna delivered to Prince tie
Schwartzenberg on the 20th ult., demanding that the
number of the Austrian troops in the States of the
Church should be decreased. This corps d'armie
is composed of an effective force of 20,000 men,
and is entirely at the charge of the Roman
Government, on which it entails an annual expense of
six millions of francs. This enormous charge weighs
heavily on the Roman treasury, and paralyses the eff,rti
made by that Government to bring about an equilibrium
in its budget. The Court of Rome thiAts that the pre-
sent state of things admits of this auxiliary force fur-
nished by Austria being reduced to 12 000 and that
this measure would procure a saving which is indis-
pensably iwc,ssary. The note, wnico is coital-le:I in
very moderate terms. W:l3 preceded by a step taken
some months since at Vienna by en Envoy Extraordinary
sent frost the Holy See. The Austrian Cabinet at that
time replied that tranquini7y was n,,t yet milli ly se-
cured t r render such a measure sate. Now the
Roman Government insists on it; it says that the
state of the country is every day improving, and
that it is better able to judge on this matter
triau any other party. It is affirmed that it

is so Chieply impressed with the necessity of
bringing the qutstion to a s .lution, that it in-
ts-nds to +address itself to France to dcroan.l its friendly
mediation in al-, event o' Au4tria go/trig en cv.asive
