peciaiy The paragraph which announced To
Inc puolic the ordinary finances of the conn,
try were suttclebt 10 cover all current exnen-
ses OF The year. The address being endoa
the members gave three cheers for the KIN
and the Ministers, followed by all the denn'
ties, withdrew. The two chambers hayf;r.
been thus opened, will meet tomorrow norn
ing, for the purpose of selecting their nras;
dents and officers. Count Amin, (Bortzpn.
burg,) formerly Minister-President, and M
Simson. recently President at Frankfort. are
candidates for the Presidency of the Second
Chamber. The decisive manner in which
Count Brandenburgh stated that it was the
firm determination of the government TO exert
every effort TO establish strong Federal Ger.
many, without sacrificing the independence of
individual States, has produced good effect.
Allusion was made also TO the preliminaries
of peace with Denmark. The papers are pro.
missed 10 be laid before the houses, with this
observation, the Duchies of Holstein and
Schleswig could not possibly obtain all they
wished" The city is perfectly tranquil, but
animated and eager TO see the turn that affairs
will take in the two houses
| Turkey-Consantinopl advices are TO the
25'h ultlmo, Commercial affairs are gloomy.
| There was great dearth in trade, and money
was exceedingly scarce. A very serious fire
broke out on the 10th utimo, in the city OF
/ Series, which was not exiinguished until 81
hours had elapsed. During the whole of this
! time, the flames spread rapidly, consuming al
most everything that impeded their progress.
Three thousand buildings were destroyed by
this terrific conflagraton, including church
es, mosques, % khans, 10 schools. &C. The
sufferers are principally poor Greeks
Nicaragua and Mosquito.-We find no.
thing in the British papers referring to the
Mosquito Kingdom save in the London
Times compilation of news by way of ia
maica
From Grey Town, Mosquito we learn that
during the absence of Mr. Christie, the British
consul general, Mr. Green, the vice consul,
would take charge of the office, and MIR. r.
Coates had been appointed vice consul at
Bluehelds. The brig of war Helena was on
The coast, and would leave in few days for
jamaica, but was previously 10 attempt the
raising OF small steamer which had sunk in
the harbor.
Mr. Squier, the new charge d'afares from
the United States to Guatemala, attended by
TWO gentlemen. had passed thro' Grey Town,
and was for some days the guest of Mr. Chris
tie. The proceedings of his predecessor were
said to have been disapproved of at Washing
ton, and it was inferred from the civlities in
terchanged by Mr.. Squier and Mr. Christie,
that the new envoy would not sanction any
anti English intervention, which had been ap-
pretended in reference to the affairs of Mos
quito. Mr.. Squier, besides his diplomatic
functions, is 10 explore the ancient monu-
ments and remains known to exist in Central
America
