Letters from Bucharest, of the 47th of February, say
that news had heed' received there, by, a Messenger who
had crossed the Danube at the risk of his life, in a
small boat, with poles, to keep off the flakes of ice, that
the ordinary post from Constantinople of the 10th of
February had been for several days on the other side of
the river (as has harpemed ante before this year), where
it must wait till the ice is gone, by which it may be de.
ta'ned score days longer.—Austrian Observer, March 7.
• BRUNSWICK, Irlaricu 2.- •
In No. 56 of the Alsemeine Zeitung we find the fol.
lowing sentence, in a letter from Berlin :
dg_ The news announced on good authzirity from Vienna,
that the Duke of Brunswick had embraced the Romin
Catholic religion, is the general subject of conversation,
and people are impatient to see how. Prussia will declare
itself on this occasion."

This news, given on what is called good authority, is
a clumsily invented fable, if it does not also belong to
that class of falsehoods, in the propagatioaof which an
evil spirit exerts every act, in order, no matter at what
expense, to spread confusion.
His Highness the Duke, immediately on his return
from Vienna, attended the public Protestant service in
the Cathedral, founded by Henry the Lion.
