GERMAN AND FRANKFORT 'PAPERS.

(From the Agram Gazette)

SEMLIN, JUNE 19.-With respect to Military operatiOns
of the contending armies we know here nothing more than
that the Turks chew great activity in their preparations
for defence, and that large reinforcements are sent to all
points where a battle is likely to take place. In Bosnia
sod Servia every thing is quiet. AccountS from Constan-
tinople say that the most profound tranquillity prevails there
also, anl that the Sultan proceeds in ull his enterprises
with profound judgment and energy, which gains him the
greatest respect both of his own countrymen and of
.foreigners ; he justly deserves a place among the great. men
of his age.
P. S. Accounts are just received that the Russians have
failed in their attempts to cross the Danube in some places.
In fact, it seems that the Turks are resolved to do their
utmost. At Cairo the Mussulmen have been obliged, by.
order of Lrabirn, to cut off their beards ; this measure,
though-sanctioned by the !Remus, caused much dissatisfac-
tion till it was resolved that the beards cut off should be
preserved, and after death be deposited in the grave with
the former remains.

STUTGARD, JULY s.—lt seems that the plan fur uniting

the Rhine and the Danube will be now cai'ried. into effect
by a Paris Company, which is said to have obtained from
the Governments concerned, upon ertain conditions, a
privilege of 99 years for the accomplarnent mist use of the
new channel of communication. The whole details of the
plan are not yet made out. In general the following seems
to be the outline of the project. To make the Danube
navigable from Ultn to Tuttlingen, and so into the Grand
Duchy of Baden ; to make a canal through the Black Force
in Baden, through the country about Villingen, St. George,
Homburg, and Hansach, in the Valley of the Kinzing ; and,
lastly, to snake the Kinzing, which fails into the Rhine
near Kehl, navigable. The first part of the plan would
probably be the easiest, nor would the last part be likely
to meet with any insuperable obstacles; but the making
of a canal through the Black Forest (using the waters
of the Bug and other rivulets) is an undertaking
Which in former times would have been declared im-
practicable (for a considerable past of the way it will
be necessary to carry the canal under ground by means
of a tunnel). The resources which modern inventions
afford, in the execution of the mo,t difficult undertaking,
will not allow us to doubt of a successful result, if the plan
be judiciously formed, the execution entrusted to men per-
fvctly competent, and sufficient funds be always ready for
the prosecution of so costly a work.
TALDA, JULY s.—The plan of erecting a monument in
honour of St. Bonifacius, the Apostle of Germany, in the
vicinity of this city, is on the eve of being carried into exe-
cution. The ample subscriptions that have been received
will enable the managers to have the monument executed in
bronze, and of a colossal size. The statue is to be executed
by the able sculptor Henschie of Cassel. .
