PRUSSIA.

Wheaton. agent Of the United States OF Amer
ica at the Congress Of the German Customs
Union. has been more successful in his mission
than DR. Bowrns, having succeeded in obtain
/ ing considerable reduction in the import du-
ties on one of the principal productions Of his
country leot,on. We suppose.) Among the
motives of the Prussian government for grant
ing this favor to the United States. was the
large exchange Of products which has taken
place between Prussia aud North America
which latter takes great quantity OF wool, lin
en-, glass, &c, from the Prussian states"
SPAIN.
! The political news from Spain is not Of i'm
lporance. The last accounts from Arragon
state that General Espartero was to have march,
ed from Muniezs on the sih ult. and promised
to strike shortly decisive blow. but appeared
fully aware Of the difficulties he would have TO
encounter in a country so completely laid
waste as were the mountainous districts he
weuld have to traverse before reaching the
srongholds Of Cabrera. Illness was also be-
ginning to thin the ranks Of his army, and he
was obliged to have the sick removed to a con-
siderable distance. having no hospital, nearer
than Saragossa. II was reported, but not cred
tied, that Cabrera had discovered a very serious
tendency of his army to submit to the Queen
1t was believed. however. that he had sho, some
Of his officers for real or suspected treason.
TURKEY AND EGYPT.
Letters from Consiantinope Of the I'd inst.
have been received. but they bring no account
of any progress having been made in the way
Of definitely settling the oriental question.
The council Of war appointed to inquire into
the conduct of the Turkish officers at the bat
tie of Nszib, has solemnly acquitted the com
mander in-chief, Iafz Pacha, of all blame, and
the Sultan has renstated him in his rank of
generalissno Of the armies OF Asia Minor.
lzzet Pacha and Solyman Pacha were iepri-
manded by the president for having neglected
TO bring up their divisions when summoned,
which neglecI greatly contributed to the loss
Of the battle. But, AZ was stated in the first
accounts Of the defeat of the Turks by the
Egyptians. il appears that the real traitor was a
Prussian officer, who was known TO be in the
pay of Russia, and who entered the Turkish
army with the intention of affecting its demor-
alization. and subsequent destruction. The
name Of the Prussian officer thus disgracetully
connected with the defeat Of the Turkish army,
is Baron Tiuke, whose instructions Haiz
Pacha proved that he had been commanded by
the late Sultan to follow, although he frequent
Ily had reason to be persuaded they were ruin
Gus to the service.
RUSSIA.
Letters from Berlin give the following de,
, tails respecting the mu,iny in the crops of the
Russian General Gesmar which has recently
been mentioned in several foreign journals
, This corps, It is said, has been for long tim'
under orders to march out Of the interior o
Russia into Poland. In expectation OF thi:
change, a conspiracy was formed 10 the corps
which was composed almost exclusively o
Russians. and which was 10 break out on tn,
first favorable opportunity that should presen
itself after the arrival of the corps at Warsaw
, The conspirators aimed at nothing less thar
making themselves masters Of the citadel a
Warsaw, aud of the fortress Modlin. Th'
, supplies Of arms and ammunition accumulated
in those arsenals were TO be divided amougs
the people Poland was to be called on to ris
: en- ,adssc, and the leaders were determined I,
march on St. Petersburg with all possible
speed. The order to march actually arrived
and the crops began TO move in the direction
Of wilma, but was suddenly and Unexpected
ordered to halt, the reason assigned for whc|
$ was that the Emperor intended to pass it in re
: view. During the march an officer ofartiller
named Slcrezynski had been admitted TO jo
the conspirators, and having learned thei
plans, contrived, il seems to send timely inlor

S bout fortnight in the neighborhood of wilma
