Some of the correspondents of the London papers
attempt to exaggerate the importance of the recent
arrests OF Cen st. Priest and Others charged with

u COMPARISON OF the various accounts OF the affair,
appears That the arrests caused little excitement
in Paris. The hbels were pretty much of the Punch
or Chdr,rari order, and the parties arrested were
mostly the quondam wits Of the suppressed Corsaire
and others who may best be described as hangers
on" of the press. st. Priest was liberated in few
hours, with an apology for his detention.

THE NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA
AND AUSTRIA.
Berlin correspondence reassets that there s every
reason to believe that the commercial negotiations
between Prussia and Austria are upon the eve of
satisfactory solution. Another account in the Morn
ing Herald, states that the commercial negotiations
are terminated, and that NJ de Bruck only waits at
Berlin for the authority Of the Austrian government
to sign treaty of commerce concluded for twelve
years. This treaty is said to be favorable to
cial liberty Accounts from Berlin Of the 18th, de-
clare that the treaty is actually concluded, and that
to M. Monteufel the credit is due.
From other sources we are informed that the Zol-
verein Congress in Berlin will be re-opened in
order to lay before it the treaty in question, and
which will doubtless be accepted by that Assembly.
1t is understood that the Emperor Nicholas has
greatly contributed to the good understanding of
Austria and Prussia on this question, and that the
Prussian government has entered into an engage.
commercial junction between the Zollverein and the
Austrian empire. The Vienna cabinet has made
some important concessions with reference to the
tariff. We may add that the commercial treaty
must receive the sanction of all the States forming
the Zollverein, and also Of the Steuerveren repre-
sented by Hanover, before it will receive general
application, for the treaty has been only contracted
strictly speaking, by Prussia and Austria. As the
former, however, has been all along in close commu
nication with Hanover, and the latter with the
Darmstadt coalition there is but little chance Of the
treaty being rejected by the commercial allies Of
those two powers
Austria.
DEMANDS ON TURKEY.
A correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette writing
from Constantnople on 2lst ut., says:-Austria has
demanded that the port Of Durazzo in Albania, shall
be made a free port for the Austrian marine, and
that Austrian subjects may be permitted to acquire
and hold landed property in European Turkey. 1t
appears that the Cabinet Of st. Petersburg Is dis
posed to second these demands Of Austria to Ger.
