Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, PIDAL, refused
to answer certain questions put to hirn in the Cham-
ber on the subject of the negotiations pending with
Rome.

The Committee on the Press Bill have resolved to
recommend the granting to the proper authorities
power to suspend the publication of any
number of a journal when in its articles it
brings into dispute or attacks the vital principles of
Government; when it discusses questions affecting
the royal family ; when it interferes with the private
life of the citizens, or when it enunciates doc-
trines or publishes news of a nature to imperil the
public tranquillity. In all these cases the authorities
must deliver the printed t heels to the tribunals within
twenty-four hours. The question of the tribunal be-
fore which the journals are to be accused has not yet
been considered.

GERMANY.

The Elector of HESSE entered Cassel on the 27th,
guarded by his household troops. There was a grand
review the same day of Prussian, Hessian, and Ba-
varian troops. In the evening there were some clis-
turbsnces, occasioned by the quarrels of the Bavarian
and Austrian troops, and the Austrian Commission
published a proclamation threatening to enforce
martial law in the event of any disturbance arising.
The ELECTO& has promised not to insist on the re-
cognition of the decree of 28th September.
As a consequence of the differences between the
Prussian and Austrian Commissioners, the Prussian
corps under General TIETZEN has returned to the
Electorate, and advanced to within two leagues of
Cassel. The Prussian troops retreated, however,
when a promise was given that the Bavarian gar-
rison of Cassel should be reduced in number.
The Grand Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT has con-
voked the Chambers for the 15th of January.
The whole of the Ileuipoteutiarieel with the ex-

ception of Baron PLCHLIN, had arrived at Dresden on
the 26th. It is said that Prussia and Austria ere
agreed as to the disaiity of the power, and that the
policy of VON DER PEORTDEN, the Bavarian Mi-
nister, is losing ground. Al ANTEUFFEL and SCUWART-
ZENDERG were to leave on the 27th for Berlin, where
they were expected to arrive on the 28th.

On Christmas-dap the Holstein agent, Count RE-
VENTLOW-FARVE, aildia:COS of Prince ScHwAR-
ZENBERG and M. VON DER PFORDTEN. He was in-
formed, it is said, in unequivocal terms-1. That
further resistance to the demand made for disarma-
ment could only be regarded as a breach of the laws
of the Confederation which could not fail to produce
serious consequences. 2. That the Austrian Colonel
GABLENS, who had proceeded yesterday to
Cassel on business connected with the Austro-
Bavarian troops, had received orders to continue his
journey to Kiel for the purpose.of communicating to the
Stadtholderate an order from the Confederation to
reduce its army to one-third, and that in the event of
resistance the joint commissioners, who are on the
eve of starting, would valopt such measures as cir-
cumstances might require. Count .B.EvEivrnow is
said to have replied that Holland could not
pretend to oppose resistance to overwhelm-
ing force, and that be should write and
recommend submission, but could not answer for his
advice being attended to. N. VON DER PEORDTEN
is understood to have told Cniunt REVENTLOW that the
sympathies of Bavaria were always the same ; but as
two great Powers acting in the name of the Confe-
deration, had decided that the disarming should take
place, nothing remained for him but to say—amen !
The same opinion has been given by representatives
of small states.
