GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette of the 29th says—" The Ple-
nipotentiaries of the Central Commission on the Na-
vigation of the Rhine have received from their Go-
vernments the most extended instructions. Holland
will make extraordinary concessions to obtain a dimi-
nution of the dues received on the Rhine. France
acts in concert with her. Prussia consents to a dimi-
nution of .50 per cent. on conditions which may well
be accepted ; 131.varia on a common diminution of
the dues received on the Mein, in consequence of the
sacrifices which she has made for improving the navi-
gation of that river. The Commissioners are agreed
on this point, but all the Governments interested in
the question are not so. There is also much to settle
relative to the Necker."

men-of-war had given rise on the part of the Prus-
sian Government to a protest to the Danish Ambas-
sador, M. DB BJELKE, Prussia regarding it as a viola-
tion f the treaty of peace. A letter frurn Hamburg,
alluding to the above capture, says that the two
vessels have been given up by the Danes. One of
them had a cargo of timber, on account of a Prussian
house. The Danish vessel seized in the port of Kiel
will be also probably given up.
The .Arew Prussian Gazette of Berlin asserts posi-
tively that the Prussian Government has refused to
recognise the right of the Congress of Frankfurt to
ratify, in the name of the Germanic Confederation,
the treaty of peace with Denmark
The Posthampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of
Berlin, 20th says :—" We have received here a tele-
graphic dispatch from Vienna, which informs us that
Austria, Bavaria, and Wirternburg will not ratify
the peace with Denmark as privates states. These
three states demand that the treaty of peace shall be
ratified by the Congress of Frankfurt. This dispatch
has been submitted to the deliberations of the Council
of Ministers. It is said that the Saxon Government
wishes to adopt a middle course. She would, in
fact, propose that Prussia should recognise a Con-
gress, which should be convoked at Frankfort, with
the precise object of ratifying the peace concluded
with Denmark."
The Breslaw Gazette states that there has been a
division of opinion in the Council of Ministers at
Vienna, on the question as to whether the state of
siege shall be maintained throughout all the monarchy,
but General CSORICII, having come into office as Mi-
nister of War, has decided the question by declaring
for its maintence.

THE DUCHIES.
DENMA RK AND
Letters from Kiel, July 19, say the departments of
war and home affairs have issued the following notifi-
cation relative to the interdiction of commercial
intercourse with Denmark :
" Hostilities towards the Duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein having again been coma enctd on the part of
Denmark, the order prohibiting trdlio between the two
countries, which, issued April 7, 1819, was suspended
September 4 of the year, is hereby re-established.
(Signed) e' BOYSEN, KROHN.
"Kiel, July 18, 1850."
Gentral WILLISEN'S second army report, dated Head
Quarters, Schleswig, July 16, runs as follows :
" The movement of the army on the 15 h has been
completed according to the announcement of my former
report. The strong intrencbments of Idstadt and Wie-
delspang have been occupied by the Vanguard, and the
whole army
was cpncentrated behind them on the
16th. A. bridge has been thrown over Missunde, and a
double lieu of operations thus secured for the army.

Were military views only in question, the most advan-
tageous_ mo:e:rent would Le an immediate advance

upon Ban, so as to destroy the enemy's probable
strategetic plan. It appears, however, more con-
formable to the de sires of the Governuannt for a
peaceable solution of existing differences,to surrender
this military advantage. The military measures as
yet taken by the Duchies cannot be regarded as an ag-
gression. Only a small portion of the land, to which we
have a good title, has been occupied, and if the enemy is
honourably disposed to make proposals of reconciliation,
nothing has been done which can be made a reason for
refraining to take such a step. The great heat is highly
unfavourable to the movement of the troops. The army
is, nevertheless, in the most satisfactory state of health.

" WILLISEN."

Letters from North Schleswig, of the 17th, state
the number of Danes who landed at Minis is only
COO. This small force had advanced near to Glucks.
burg, between Drey and Koppelbeck.

The important subject of steam communication with
Australia comes before Parliament this evening, and it
is hcped some satisfactory explanations will be afforded
by Government. Petitions and memorials are being
framed in all the commercial towns of the kingdom,
praying for a speedy settlement; and the following is
from an influential quarter:—
"To THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD JOHN RUS-
SELL, &C., &C., FIRST LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S
TREASURY.
The memorial of the Directors of the Manchester
Commercial Association, by their Chairman,
4' Humbly sheweth—That your memorialists have had
uncer ,heir consideration the question of the establish-
ment of a sy stem of postal communication with Aus-
tralia r:ci the Cape of Good Hope.,
" That the great and increasing importance of our
Australian Colonies renders it highly desirable that
esery possible facility should be afforded fur improving
the means of intercourse between them and this country.
That your memorialists believe that the scheme
for communication, by means of screw-steamers plying
regulsily by way of the Cape of Good Hope, as sug-
gested by Captain Hays, is deserving of your Lordship's
careful consideration.

" That in the opinion of your memorialists the scheme
in question is calculated materially to benefit not only
the colonies more immediately referred to, but also those
lying adjacent to the proposed route, particularly the
Capo of Good Hope, Ports Elizsbeth and Natal, as well
as the settlements on the west coast of Africa.

" Your memorialists, therefure, humbly pray that
your Lordshtp_will be pleased to give your favour-
able attention to the route viii the Cape of Good Hope,
as offering greater advantages to the public than any
other whicu, ai far as known to your memorialists, has
been as yet proposed.
" And your memorialists, &c. &c.
