GERMANY. The religious agitation remains
pretty much in the same state. Upon the
whole, however, perhaps Ronge, the apostle of
t lie new faith, has increased the number Of his
adhercnts. Our Government views his pro-
ceedlngs with great dsapprobation, as does all
the other governments of Germany; and they
are all determined to discourage it as much as
possible. A recent order from all the niniste.
rial departments Of this country declares that
any official giving it countenance, or any other
of the new religious sects, shall be dismissed.
Potatoes are suffering from the same malady
as in Belgium, and upon the whole the crops
will be scanty.

or is about to commence negotiations for Il

be a very extensive reduction Of import duties
and other commercial facilities Such treaties
have already been made with England and
France, and will be entered into with as many
other countries as possible.

BELGIUM. On the 10th Of September the
Chambers assembled, and after the usual pre-
llminares, Ministers presented a prolet de t0t
for providing for the subsistence of the people,
in consequence of the failure of the potato crop.
The law contained provision for allowing p
100000 francs to the government, and for per-
hitting the importation of -four, potatoes,
wheat, sc, on a mere nominal duty The law
was adopted by both Chambers, without amend
ment, in few days. On the 25th, the Cham
bers had brought their extraordinary sitting TO
a close.
A royal ordinance has nominated commits
sion for inquiring if any and what means can
be taken for ameliorating the condition of the
working classes. In several parts of this coun-
try great distress is felt by that portion of the
community. Another commission has been
appointed for nqpiring into the nature and
causes Of the malady of potatoes, and Of the
means OF preventing lis recurrence.
1t is said that the potato crop has not suffer
cd so much as was represented.
In Holland, where the potatoes have failed,
measures have been taken by the government
for admitting articles OF necessity POTATOES,
wheat, barley, &c., at very low rate Of duty.
