GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette has the following telegraphic
dispatch from its correspondent at Berlin, of the 7th
inst. :—" I have just been assured on good authority
that the rumours which have been current of Austria
triving made positive propositions for a political union
with Prussia, for the settlement of the German ques-
tion, are unfounded. At a Cabinet Council held
yesterday, at Charlotenburgh, it was decided on the
proposition of M. DE SCHLEINITZ, to recal the Prus-
sian Envoy from Hanover. This has been done to-
day, and Prussia will only leave a Charge d'Affaires
in that city. The letter states, it will probably also
break off diplomatic relations with the Hanoverian
Government."

Doubts were entertained in Berlin on the 9th
whether the opening of the Erfurth Diet would take
place on the day appointed.
Ten Prussian Hussars deserted a few days since
from their regiment, and arrived at Metz with their
arms and baggage.
It is stated, in a letter from Stuttgart, in the In-
dep endance of Brussels, that the KING and royal
family of Wurtemberg, have made their arrange-
ment; for retiring to one of the royal chateaux. This
was said to be owing to the intention to effect a coup
d etat, by suspending the Constitution for an indeter-
minate time--a measure considered necessary, in con-
sequence of the triumph of the Democratic party in
the recent elections.

According to the Bavarian journals, Bavaria, and
other states of southern Germany are making warlike
preparations ; and the Frankfort journals state that
the Bavarian soldiers on furlough have been sum-
moned to join their regiments, that the garrison of
Nuremburg have received orders to be ready to
march, and that alarge camp is to be formed in Fran-
conia.

The Berlin State Gazette publishes a copy of the
dispatch of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Prussia,
on the proposed customs union between Austria and
Germany. The Prussian Minister approves of the
project, but recommends that it shall be carried gra-
dually into execution, and that the Central Commis-
sion of Frankfort shall convoke a congress to settle
all details.
A letter from Vienna of the 4th states that a tele-
graphic dispatch had been received in that city, an-
nouncing on authority of letters from Patras of 26th
ult., that the blockade of the port of Athens still
continued.

A letter from Vienna states that the Government
has just placed at the disposal of the public the elec-
tric telegraph between that city and Odersburg, so
that an electric communication is now open the whole
way between Vienna and Berlin.
It was believed in Vienna that the Russians would
again shortly occupy Hungary.
The Frankfurt Journal states that Prince ALBERT
of England, as heir to his brother, the Duke of SAXE
COBURG GOTHA, has protested against the consequences
which may ensue from the resolutions of the Par-
liament of Erfurt in regard to the independence of
the Duchy.
The Diet of Saxe Coburg Gotha was opened on
the 2d, and the Ministry announced its adhesion to
the treaty of the 26th of May (that for the establish-
ment of a restricted federal state).
A letter from Hamburgh of the sth says
The retirement of Hanover from the restricted
federal state is considered a heavy blow to Prussia,
and it is to be feared will be followed by that of
Hesse, Bremen, and Mecklenhurgh-Strelitz."

HUNGARY AND TURKEY.
We have received some further information con-
cerning the behaviour of the Hungarian refugees,
when it became known that they must positively
leave Shumla for Kutahia. When ACHMET EFFENDI,
who reached Shumla, on the sth February, began
to make preparations for the departure of the
fugitives, IiTOSSUTH declared to him that he
would rather shoot himself than consent to be
removed to Ada. To this the diplomatist, with
true Turkish phlegtna, replied that "it was a
pity to anticipate that fate from which none can
escape, but that man would often follow his
inspirations." KOSSUTH subsequently addressed a
brilliant speech to his followers in order to excite
them to accompany him, but with little success.
CASIMIR BATTIITANY intended to have attempted to
escape before ACnMET EFFENDI'S arrival, but the
Turks by seizing his horses clereated his plans ; he
seemed much moved on hearing that he must pro-
ceed with the others to Asia. DEMBILVICY having
pleaded illness, the Turkish Commissioner has de-
mand further instructions from Constantinople.
MESSAROS and STEIN (Perhad) were much cast down ;
lIiUBICE PEIZCZEL, on the contrary, declared that he
willingly went into exile, as he would never have
returned to Hungary even if permission had been
granted him so to do. A strange scene took place
between BALLocx and his son. The former, as a
renegade, was to be removed to Aleppo, while his
son, as a Christian, was to proceed to Kutahia.
The idea of being separated from his son almost
drove the old man mad. He declared that he
had been vilely deceived by the Turkish Go-
vernment, . and throwing his " fez" at the
feet of ACIIMET EFFENDI, swore that he would
rather die than remain a Mussulman.' At one o'clock
on the 15th, the mournful procession started. Kos-
SUTII who had previously committed his last will to
the hands of the Turkish Commissioner, sat buried in
his cloak in a corner of his carriage ; his wife ac-
companied him. BATTMYANY, though the expression
of his countenance was sad, sat as proudly as ever in
his saddle. The Countess was in a close carriage.
The others, to about the. number of 58, followed
pell-mell.

DENMARK.
Letters from Copenhagen of the 28th ult. state
that the Danish Government is actively engaged in
making military and naval preparations for war.
In the Chamber of Deputies of Denmark on the
9,1 inst., the Minister of Finance demanded that, in
consequence of a possibility of the resumption of
hostilities with Germany, the Bill for granting full
powers to the Government to levy the taxes should
be declared of urgent importance, so as to be passed
in three consecutive sittings. This was agreed to by
80 votes to 2.
