. In Prussia, the elections had caused
universal interest. The popularity on
the Ministry had somewhat improved
In Austria and Hungary affairs have
again taken an unfavorable turn. The
Imperialists have certainly been beaten
in several engagements with the Hun
garians, and Berne is likely TO give her
great deal of trouble.
In Spain at the session of Congress
held at Madrid Jan. 2lsi, call was
made for correspondence said to have
passed respecting the annexation of the
Island of Cuba. The reply was that no
proposition had been made, and that no
ministry, composed of Spaniards would
listen to such proposal if made, and
that they should never cede the Island
of Cuba.
To the Senate, Gen. Navarez confir-

The commercial advices from China
are not so favorable as were wished for.
The stock of manufactured goods on
hand is small, but the demand very linn
tied. Lower rates have been submitted
to for both cloth and yarn. Money was
so scarce that nothing could be done
but by barter. The large exports of
bullion, for some time past, was begin
ming TO tell seriously on commerce, and
high rates of interest was being paid.

very dull, but with prospect for inn
provement, as the dry season had set in
when there would probably be a large
export of rice TO China.
