GERMANY.

It is said that the conflict between Austria and
Prussia is becoming of a more acrimonious character
daily, and that war between these two Powers may
be seriously apprehended.
A Cabinet Council was held at Berlin on Sunday,
at which General RADowxyz attended. The General
was to set off for Erfurth on the following day.
br. ZIMMER, late Austrian Deputy to. the Frank-
fort Parliament, has been arrested at Berlin, on the
requisition of the Austrian Government, on a charge
of high treason. He has been delivered up to the
Austrian authorities to be conveyed to Prague.
The Prussian Staats Anzieger of the 31st ult.
contains a notice from the Minister of Justice stating
that he has been informed that several individual
courts have refused to administer the oath prescribed
by the regulations of the 3d of daniary, 1849, if,'
in addition to the prescribed form, "I swear, so help
me God," they subjoin to this religious confession a
solemn asseveration, " through Jesse Christ unto
eternal salvation," or " and his Holy Gospel." The
Minister of Justice declares that by virtue of the law
it must be left to the individual caiscience of the
person taking the oath to subjoin to the form pre-
scribed by the law whatever form of solemn asseve-
ration they may please to make use

ITALY.
The Austrian arms were re•erected at the Austrian
Embassy at Rome on the 21st ult. by the Municipal
Council. There were no French troops present, Ge-
neral BARAGUAY D'HELLIERS having consigned them
to barracks for the whole of the day.
The return of the POPE, although fixed to take
place in April, is considered as by no means certain.
As the time approaches, the courage of his HouNliss,
like that of non AcriEs gradually oozes, out. The
11Taziontik of the 25th ult., contains a report that his
HOLINESS, distrusting the fidelity of his subjects, en-
tertains the project of proceeding to Ancona
or Leghorn, and placing himself under the
protection of the Austrians, which movement will
be protected by the French squadron, expected in
the Mediterranean: There is also a report of a gene-
ral'amnesty, from which only thirty of the most com-
promised individuals will be excluded, of which
Cardinal LAMBRIISCHINI will be the bearer a few days
before the return of the POPE. This report, says the
,Nazionale, appears to be spread for the purpose of
deceiving France, and it laughs at the idea of Cardi-
nal LAMBRUSCIIINI entering Rome as the messenger
of peace with the self• gratulation of France at the
success of her mediation, while at the same moment
his HOLINESS escapes in the opposite direction.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as

Government of the office he holds as one of the Judges of
