GERMANY.

At Berlin the elections for the Parliament of Er-
furt have resulted in the triumph of what are called
the Constitutional Conservatives, that is those who
are in favour of the adoption without modification ( f
the Constitution of the three Kings. Only a small
portion of the electors, however, took part in the
vote.

In reply to the note of the Federal Commission of
Frankfort, the Government of Mecklenburg-Schwe-
rin has declared that it does not recognise the right
of the Federal Commission to interfere in the ques-
tions pending in that Duchys as the new Consti•
tution was legally and normally voted by all the au-
thorities.

In a recent sitting of the Assembly of the States
of Saxe -Weimar, a clause was adopted in the Con-
stitution, only authorising the GRAND DUKE to ex-
ercise a veto on Bills of which he may disapprove.
The GRAND DUKE would not, it was said, approve
of this.

A letter from Vienna states that the editors of the
Wanderer had received an intimation to adopt a
more moderate line of policy, and the publisher had
been deprived of the post of printer to the Court.
M. GIRARDET, the Court bookbinder, had also been
deprived of his post for the part he took in the eveats
of 1848. The editor and one of the principal con-
tributors of the Fiquelmeze, of Pesti), had been ba-
nished.

The Archduke JOHN arrived at Graetz a few days
ago. He was received with every demonstration of
joy, and the town was illuminated.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Copenhagen journals state that, in order to
meet the extraordinary expenses incurred by the
State in consequence of the war, the Danish Go-
vernment has felt itself compelled to raise the import
duty on several articles—viz., coals, 50 per cent.;
sugar, raw and refined, molasses, and treacle, 25
per cent.; tee, 20 per cent.; tobacco of every kind,
raw and manufactured, and cigars, 20 per cent.;
timber and deal cf every kind, inclusive of Finland,
20 per cent.; wine, 10 per cent. This alteration of
tariff came in force on the let of January, 1850, and
is to continue in operation till the 31st of December,
1850.

A letter from Keil of the 23d says:—" The confi-
dential commission (vetrauens manner) yesterday
received a letter from the King of DENMARK, in
which his MAJESTY expresses his satisfaction at the
loyal sentiments of his subjects, and invites that
commission to send him their proposals or to bring
them to Copenhagen. Their departure is expected
to take place shortly.

ITALY.

The following are the particulars of the liberation
of Dr. Acnir.F.,_. as communicated to the various
journals by Sir qULLINO EARDLEY
"It has been already stated that Dr. Achilli is set at
liberty, and that this intelligence reached Paris by tele-
graph last Friday. We uneeritind from Dr. Achilli's
friends that they are able to prove that the assistance of
the French military was fraudulently obtained for his
arrest, and that the French Government was f sliely
informed that he was imprisoned to murder and et'.er
crimes. The inquiries instituted at Vif orb° by his
friends forced the accusing power to drop tho mask and
to avow that he was seized fir religion alone. A
similar local investigation in Rome enabled hi.; friends
to prove to France, by the evidence of her own officers,
that a detachment of her troops on duty at her Prefec-
ture of Police at Rome were parties to the seizure,
though the Prefect made a return that there was no
such entry in his register. The soldiers were dispatched
for the purpose without the cognizance of the Pi erect, by
word of command of a subordinate. Tho second in com-
mand of the French police is an Italian gentleman, em-
ployed formerly in the police of Gregory XVI. The chief
of the French army and diplomacy in Rome, Gen. Bare-
guay d'Hilliers (soon after the 10th of December), applied
in person, at Portici, to the Supreme Pontiff for the pri-
soner's liberation,which was positively refused on no other
ground than that the prisoner had done much harm
to religion, and would do more, if free.' Owing, how-
ever, to proceedings, the nature of which is not known,
the French Government received in Paris, on December
20th, a telegraphic message from the General that the
Roman Government offered the French Government to
liberate Dr. Achilli, on condition that the English Go-
vernment and his friends would insure his leaving Italy.
The British Ambassador in Paris, with the kindness
which has characterized him throughout, wrote himself,
extra-afficially, to Dr. Achilli, engaging him to do se.
His friends did the tame. The French Government
intimated to the General and Ambassador its con-
currence in the arrangement. The French Gene-
ral communicated the reply to the Supreme Pontiff et Portici, and claimed the fulfilment of tie promise. It
v as answered that he would take time to consider it,
and would arrange the matter on his return to Rome.
In the mean time, and subsequently to the arrival of
the reply from Paris, the Fiscal of the Icquisition visited
Dr. Achilli in prison several times, intimating to him
that he was to be put upon his trial, and that he (the
Fisca )wasto be his judge. The knowledge of this
delay and of the accompanying circumstances reached
Paris about the 10th of January. The Government of
the Republic took up the matter strongly, and commu-
nications of an urgent character wore made to Rome.
On the 95th the French Government was made aware
Os has been stated) that Dr. Achilli was already on his
way from Rome to Paris."
King BOMBA has refused to accede to the earnest
request of the POPE, that he would grant an
amnesty.
