PRUSSIA.
The Frankfort journal says, that Mr., Whoa

Congress of the German Customs Union has been
more successful in his mission than Dr. Bpwriug.

Among the motives of the Prussan government
tor granting this favor to the United States was
the large exchange Of products viii, h has taken
place between Prussia and North America, which

SPAIN.
The political news from Spain is not of import
ance. The last accounts from Arrngon state that
General Esparero to have marched from
Munioza the 18th ut., and promised 10 strike
shortly blow but appeared fully flho diff

completely laid waste were the mountainous dis.

the s'rongh"lds Of Cabrera. Illness was also be,
ginning to thin The ranks of his army, and he was
obliged to have the sick removed to considerable
distance, having no hospitals nearer than Saragos
sa 1t was rep rtod, but not credited that Cabrera
had discovered very serious tendency of his arnv
to submit to the Queen. 1t was believed, however,
that he had shot some Of his officers for real or sus
pcctcd treason.
The " Memorial Borlcais" state, that the sons
of Don Francisco do Paula (Infante OF Spain,
were about to proceed on political mission ito the
United States in the first nstunce.) One OF them
would travel under the title of Duke of Ca,z,
the other would assume that of Duke of Sayle,
titles conferred them at the time of their re
rpectivn births in 1922 and 1929 by Ferdinand
VII. Tho proximity of the former colonies of
Spain suggested the belief that their intention
was to ascertain how much remained of tho an,
Gent attachment TO the Spanish dynasty in those
countries now again the seat of civil war.
The Madrid papers Of tie 23d rlt. confirm tho
report which had previously reached us of the
dlsunion of the Spanish government the rcsie>
nation OF the Ministers of tho Interior and thu
Marine have not tended to restore harmony in the
Cabinet Should these differences continue, an
Er0itado administration will be the only altern
alive; in which case the Chamber, composed as it
49, of more moderate politicians, weuld reject all
revolutionary measures, and thus bring the gov.
/ eminent TO dead lock. 4 most rigid survei,.
lance is still maintained ovor Don Carlos by the
French Government. To SO absurd an extent, in,
Decd il it carried, that the gems. d'armes about

traits of the royal prisoner!
TURKEY AND EGYPT.

who entered the Turkish army with the intention
