GERMANY.

The Independance of Brussels, in its summary of
the affairs of Germany, says :—" We were correct in
saying that the news from Germany present a per-
petual see••saw of pacific or warlike probabilities.
Yesterday some uneasiness might have been felt as to
the maintenance of peace; to-day there is no reason
for any fears of the kind. Our correspondent at
Vienna, writing under date of the 19th, contradicts
the previous reports of movements of troops, and our
correspondent at Berlin, although speaking of reports
of military marches and counter•marches, persists in
maintaining that no armed conflict will take place."
The lndipendance of Brussels has the following
from Vienna, 19th :—" The reports which were in
circulation yesterday are unfounded. The troops
have received no orders to advance ; on the contrary,
a courier which arrived last night states that the
Elector of Hesse, who had been for a moment on
the point of signing his abdication, has renounced
that idea, and that the propositions of M. Elvers
were rejected. To explain the somewhat myste-
rious sense of these remarks, I must tell you that
our Cabinet had given the Elector until the 16th
of this month to declare himself positively on the
abdication, and that in case of abdication, our troops
bad orders to cross the frontier, and to act in concert
with the Bavarian troops. This event not having
taken place, our troops will not move. We are thus
on the Hessian question just in the same position as
we were a fortnight ago; Austria has not lost a sin-
gle foot of ground, and Prussia has not gained one.
On both sides a suitable solution is sought for. If I
am well informed, an expedient will possibly be found
in uniting in one Electoral Hesse and the Grand
Duchy, and in establishing for the two Hesses thus
united one and the same constitution."

The Augsburg Gazette states, on the faith of a dis-
patch received trom Bregentz, that an armed interven-
tion in Electoral Besse has been definitively deter-
mined on. According to the German Journal of
Frankfort, the army of operation, composed of three
divisions, intended for Electoral Hesse, is placed
under the orders in chief of General Comte de
Groeben.

A letter from \Vilhelmstad, 22d, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The negotiations with
Ewers continue; but up to this time they do not
appsar to have led to any satisfactory reeult. Aus-
trian influence is still strongly felt. Nevertheless th,-
propcsitions cf conciliation made by Prussia are not
akinioned. No den and has yet been made to the
Germanic Diet, and the resignation of the officers has
not yet been accepted. There is however reason to
fear that M. de Hassenpflug will push things to ex-
tremities, and solicit from the Diet an order fvr the
entry of the Bavarian troops into Electoral Hesse. In
that case the Prussian troops will also enter."
The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of
Munich, 19th, sa3s :—" The second corps d'arrn6e
has been put completely on a war footing. Under
any circumstances a long sojourn of the troops abroad
is expected, and a slycial service for the transport of
military dispatches has been established. No one,
however, thinks seriously of war, notwithstanding the
warlike articles recently published in the Munich
Gazette."

A letter from Vienna, 17th inst., says :—Our Go-
vernment is assiduously occupied with a project which
was submitted to it a short time since, and the object
of which is to found in all the large towns cf the
Austrian monarchy special banks destined to assist
small tradesmen. It is .taid that this plan is on tha
eve of being realised. The cholera has just entirely
disappeared from the country of Sceinmering, where it
will be remembered it made great ravages, particu-
larly among the workmen on the railway."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The damage done to the town of Frederickstadt
has, according to an ufficial statement published in
this day's Freie Presse, been to the following c ffect :
" In the first quarter of the town there have been
76 houses burnt down and 80 damaged ; i❑ the
second quarter 50 burnt and 49 damaged; in
the third quarter 49 damaged , in the fourth
quarter two burnt and 49 damaged; and in the
fifth quarter 46 houses damaged. Outside of the
town then) have been 9 houses burnt down, and 12
damaged, making a total of 137 burnt and 285 da-
maged. The Dsnes had been compelled to occupy
the Bockmulde also, which may be considered damaged,
but not completely destroyed for future use. The
number of the inhabitants killed is given at 10, and
the wounded at 20 persons."

The Danish General has sent the following reply
from the army to the Chambers in return for
the vote of thanks conferred upon it a short time
ago :—" The army has received with a deep sense of
acknowledgment the greeting from the chosen re-
presentatives of the people. Well aware of the
importance of their calling, the army exerts itself
to obtain the satisfaction of its King and the pros-
perity of the country. The words spoken by the
Chambers are encouraging to us all, and will tend to
strengthen the soldiers to fresh deeds. With the aid
of the Almighty we will reap the rruits of our days of
labour. The General commanding requests the Mi-
nisters to have the goodness to convey the expression
of the feelings and sentiments of the army to the
Chambers accordingly."

Rti SSIA.
On the 17th of October, Prince Paskewitch cele-
brated the fiftieth year of his service in the Russian
army. On this occasion the Emperor presented the
Prince on parade with the staff of a Field Marshal,
accompanied by the following letter :
" Prince Paskewitch, 50 years of your distinguished
service to the Crown and country have this day elapsed.
Since the commencement of your military caner as
Adjutant of cur beloved father, you have taken a
prominent part in almost all the wars that took
place under the Government of the Emperor Alex-
ander, always eminent by your prudence and per-
sonal courage. As Commander of the Russian army
for four-and-twenty years, you have concluded four cam-
paigns, celebrated for deeds which, while they added
new renown to the Russian name, increased the power
and territory of the empire. Your victories in Persia
and Asiatic Turkey led to a peace, which for Russia
was as glorious as advantageous. The two days'
storm cf Warsaw, in which you eked your own
blood, suppressed the shameful insurrection. As com-
mander of the army which was dispatched to the:, aid
of my ally and friend the Emperor of Austria, you
comps Iled the Gent ral of the Insurgents to make an un-
conditional surrender and to restore Hungary to its
lawful ruler. All those victories will inscribe your
name in ineffaceable characters in history, and it will
from henceforth be inseparable from the renown et
Russia. Not less illustrious have been your str-
vices as Commander of our army in time of peace,
by the discharge of the most important functions
as our Governor in the Kingdom of Poland. By
your unwearied foresight the army intrusted to you Las
been brought to a high degree of order in every branch.
By your enlightened Lctivity and continued exertions,
every department of the adminittration of the kingdom
has been conducred to the point ordained by me, to the
welfare of all, individually acd collectively. It was always
pleasing to me to recognise and reward your services; to-
day, on the occasion of the celebration ofy our 5011 year of
service, I have ordered the staff of a Field-Marshall to be

LON DON,

prepared with a diamond inscription; as I pree:it it to
you myself. I herewith ren-w ihe expression of my cill-
stato.t and sincere fetling of recognition for your
triuus decd_, that give you s,) good a claim ou the gra-
t.iiudo of the nation cr,d posterity.
" I remain your unalterable well wisher,
"NICHOLAS.
Warsaw, October 17, 1850."

The Emperor presented the staff to the Prince in
front of the army. The Prince sank on his knee,
and the Emperor raised and embraced him. The
regiment of Chasseurs, which the Prince commands,
then defiled past, and after the review the Prince
received the congratulations of the clergy, the
officials, and deputations of the nobility.
