We make this long extract because it gives bet
ter review of the history of Germany during the
last two years. and particularly of the circumstances
and consequences attending upon the late National
Assembly, than we could otherwise hope to furnish.
We have nonews from any other part of Germany,
except that the BAvARIAN Chamber has passed the
question of the emancipation of the Jews by large
majority. There is also report that the Ministers
of the King of WURTEMBURG have had an open
rupture with the Chamber of Deputies of that
Kingdom and that scene of great confusion had
ensued.
From SPAIN and PORTUGAL we have little of in
erest usual, except that, far the former is
concerned, the greater part of her troops, which
were lately employed in the Papal States have re-
turned home The body-guard of the PopE is, it
is said to consist, by the choice of his Holiness, of
regiment of Spanish soldiers, clothed and paid
and organized for that important office at the ex-
pense of the Spanish Government.
The return Of the PORE to Rome is delayed, and
nobody appears to know any thing about that much
Rome state that the Holy Father seems less dis
posed than ever to return to his capital. The pro-
tests and persuasions of Gen. PARAGUAY D'HIL-
LIERs have had no effect upon his Holiness, except
to forfy him in resolution to keep out of Rome.
There is general impression that the Pope will
insist upon the evacuation of Rome by the French
troops before he enters it. The Cardinals are, it
is said, opposed to the return of Plus TX. before
the negotiation of foreign loan is concluded This
is like postponing the business sine die for, not
withstanding the abundance of money, he would
be bold Spectator who would advance money to
the Government of the Papal States, whilst such
thing is in reality fiction. In fact the Papal Sc
cular government is not at present, either in esse or
in posse. Gen. PARAGUAY D'HMLIERs is reported
to have sgnifed his ultimatum to the PoPE, and
prescribed period for the return of his Holiness
to Rome after which the French authorities would.
in case of his Noncompliance, proclaim Provi-
sional Government. There have been considera-
BILE outbreaks OF the peasantry in several of the
yiagessand small towns of the Papal dominions,
on account of the re-establishment of the odious
tax the grinding of corn, by which the price of
bread is increased. The French COMMANDMENTS
chief has taken upon himself TO suspend the tax
until he could represent to the Roman Government
the excitement that it occasoned, and induce the
Pope to give orders for its abolition.
The TURco- RUSSIAN affair is not quite settled.
ne apprehenSlOnS. which were at one time strong
ly excited by the demands of the Russian and Aus
trian Governments for the extradition of the Hun
garian fugitives from Turkey, have entirely SUBJ
sided; but the diplomatic relations of those empires
with the PORTE have not yet been resumed. The
idea of forcing quarrel upon Turkey for her
honorable and humane conduct has been altogether
abandoned; if, as the Times appears to doubt. it
was ever entertained. This paper contains ION the
18th instantly long article in praise of the Emperor
NICHOLAS, from which we extract the following:
s'Certaioy the of the demand entrusted Prince
Radzv, and the impenence with which that parsonage
acquitted himself of uncvil mission, calculated
cite surprise and alarm in other parts of Europe But in the
subsequent periods Of this transaction the Emperor Of
has displayed that orbearance and good which very
dom desert him and if the demand of the refugees
fault the consequences of that false step have eaced
with great dexterity."
The article goes on to blame Admiral PARKER,
and to censure those who instructed him, for hav-
ing placed the English fleet in position which in
frnged upon the treaty of lS4l, which forbade any
foreign vessel of to pass the Straits of the Oar
danelles and the Bosphorus so long the Porte is
at peace However, the censure Of Admiral Par
ker and the British Government furnishes the wri-
ter in the Times with matter for another Mandatory
paragraph concerning the Emperor of Russia, as
follows
The fact however, acknowledged that Admiral Parker
