General Roncall to raise the siege OF Alcant, and

For some time past negotiations have been pend-
ing for commercial treaty between the United
States of American and the Germanic Union of
Customs We learn, upon good authority, that
these negotiations have been brought to close and
that treaty has been actually signed by the
Prusslan government and MIR. Wheaton, The Anne
Iican minister at this court The effect OF the
treaty is understood TO be to reduce the present
duties on tobacco and rice imported into
Germany from the United States and on the
other hand to afford facilities for the introduction
into the United States of several branches OF Ger
man manufactures for American consum, lion. IL
Is, OF course, uncertain whether this treaty, at
present entered into by Prussia only, will be- ratified
by the other States OF The Germanic Customs
Union, and still more uncertain whether tht treaty.
will be ratified by the American Legislature; but,
AS 1t stands, MIR. Wheaton has gained march
